Give Directly gives cash transfers directly to people living in extreme poverty, mostly in East Africa. It is highly efficient with low overhead, and extremely data-driven. Independent research has shown that Give Directly's cash transfers are one of the most effective ways to meaningfully and lastingly improve outcomes for those living in extreme poverty. Plus, Ariel used to work there, so she can vouch for its success first-hand.

We're not sure of the destination yet, but we are planning something equal parts adventure and relaxation for December of 2019.

The one form of Harry Potter #content we've yet to consume.

The Azoffs have long been known for their salad prowess.

Braiser. Braiser. Braiserrrrr. Braiser. Braising. Braise it. Just Braise It. Braise. Brrraise. Braise. Braise. Brays. B-Rays. D-Rays? Tampa Bay Rays. Baseball. Go Rockies.

Look we both have lots of hair. Our apartment is full of hair. It could be significantly less full of hair.

FWWWSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This combines two of Ariel's favorite things: geometric shapes and bourbon.

Why drink out of glass-shaped glasses when you can drink out of can-shaped glasses?

**that gif of Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby**

Honestly, this is just the prettiest bowl we've ever seen. That's why it's here.

Now this is a cheese plate.

The primary reason we decided to get married was to feel adult enough to use cloth napkins.

That bread isn't going to toast itself.

Aaaaahhhhhhhhh

So Ariel doesn't have to press her freezing cold hands and feet against Gabe to stay warm.

Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit, kill the waaaaaaabiit.

"This new world blend has the mouthfeel of thumbtacks and juuuust a hint of arrogance in the bouquet."

It'll probably be exactly like that Tom Cruise movie.

"Am I detecting a whiff of movie theater bathroom?"
