We bought a house in Denver that we lovingly renovated into a beautiful property. Skiing, hiking, climbing and jumping through the Rocky Mountains are at our finger tips. Ben's surfing habit however...Costa Rica? Montauk?

Complimenting its larger sibling, we expect to use this knife just as much!

We support Planned Parenthood (and you should too!) because they provide an imperative and necessary community service for sexual health for all humans - regardless of age, sex, gender, orientation or preference. Family planning and contraceptive use are under attack in our country and it's important to support institutions that make these available to all. Vaginas, penises and everything in between are welcome at Planned Parenthood AND in our lives.

Made famous after the release of the 1978 hit "Halloween", this is the hardest working knife in our kitchen. For cooking of course! This is an amazing upgrade that will surely keep our meal prepping and dinner parties going for years to come. It's an investment in our health and well being for the 'sharp, fast and slicing' type of wedding guest.

Focaccia anyone? Or If you haven't tried our garlic and shallot bread yet let us know! A beautiful upgrade to our current bread knife. We value the quality in our 'things'. Not the quantity.

Although the finer nuances of coffee preparation continue to bedevil Mr D'Innocenzo (he isn't a coffee drinker as you know), Kirby is quite an ace at the practice. This will be primarily used by Kirby and guests on weekends while Ben makes pancakes or tofu scrambles for us.

"Sex" is a 1992 coffee table book written by Madonna, with photography by Steven Meisel Studio and Fabien Baron. Ben is a huge fan and would love of a copy of this out of print book if you happen upon one. Humanity is messy.

When you heard about our wedding, if your first gift thought was of course, "something big, red and hot to the touch," this might be the gift for you! We own the smaller version of this pot and use it all the time. Although, you won't find us cooking any lobsters in this 20QT, Cerise pot, you will absolutely find us making large and hearty vegan soups for when you come over on those cool fall and winter days to listen to NPR and talk about travel.

Prior to receiving 2nd hand Restoration Hardware sheets from one of Kirby's clients, we had 2nd hand sheets from Target. We have fallen in love with our higher quality sheets and feel we're ready for a brand new set of our very own.

To all our vegetarians and vegans out there, you know that this is an important one to the fruit and veg focused cook. The second most important knife in our kitchen and a wonderful upgrade for us.

For certain fresh produce, we use a knife with similar vertical indentations and love it for lots and lots of no-stick cutting. This is another upgrade item for something we use all the time at home. We value the quality in our 'things'. Not the quantity.

Our most used skillet at home is the same size as this one. Being mindful of the food we put in our bodies is very important to us, as a result we probably cook 98% of our meals at home; eating out is something we save for special occasions! Our current skillet is a non-stick surface product. This means that it has been created using chemicals like poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) which make your food slide easily off the pan, but have carcinogenic properties (always a catch!). Our goal with choosing this matte enameled iron skillet is that it is a safer alternative to using our current pan and will last a lifetime.

So, this is an add on. We love cooking with woks, but do not currently have the pleasure of calling one own. Ben developed his love of wok cooking while living in Thailand during graduate school, and together we've developed this interest. It also happens that Le Creuset makes a beautiful RED wok to go with our whole 'passion for cooking' red theme. In fact, the color red is known to be quite appetite-stimulating, and...don't we all need more of that in our lives?

Sheet pan cooking has come into our lives in a big way after we received an amazing cook book specifically on that topic from a very special someone. We would like to replace our current fleet of make shift and haphazard pans of varying sizes with two of these wonderful baking dishes to help with clean up, and ensure that we are using an item with a lower risk of chemical and heavy metal exposure. If you weren't previously aware of this concern - right now might be a good time to spend a few quality hours on YouTube and Google.

This is a big one (size & price). We currently have a non-stick pot, and if you've read through some of our other items, we are looking to similarly put it out to pasture. Ben's Mom and Dad had a pot like this growing up. It evokes a sense of warm family dinners and time spent learning and cooking in the kitchen. It's a classic and we hope to have and make similar memories of our own.
