Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsWell, we got the Williams Sonoma catalog in the mail today. Then I found this blog!
http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/the-2014-haters-guide-to-the-williams-sonoma-catalog-1667452305The 2014 Hater's Guide to Williams Sonoma
It's really cynical and pretty funny.
Such as
Item #66-5832014 Hot Chocolate Pot ($60)
The 2014 Hater's Guide To The Williams-Sonoma Catalog
Copy: "New & exclusive! Award-winning mid-century design from the Dansk Kobenstyle collection. Engineered for uniform heating in heavy-gauge steel with a stay-cool teak handle."
Drew Says: Yes, a hot chocolate pot. Because a fondue pot wasn't quite useless enough. Hey, you know what other kind of pot is good for making hot chocolate? A POT. Like, any regular pot that you already have. I know sometimes it dribbles down the side when you pour the chocolate out, making you want to kill God. But if you use a ladle, you'll be fine. The Williams-Sonoma catalog will not rest until you need a separate pot for every single goddamn thing you make. QUICK! SOMEONE FETCH ME THE GOAT CHEESE FRITATTA SKILLET! No, not the Western Frittata skillet, you MORON! It's $60. For a hot chocolate pot. Goddamn.
Are you ready for the cronuts? Because you know they got some fucking cronuts this year

I admit to having had a Le Creuset fetish! (Have 22 pieces, but I'm done buying them.)

using some of their fucking white truffle infused oil.
It was delicious. No really.

For $89.95!
I have evergreens all over my house--for free. I just stopped by my local garden center where they were trimming up the Christmas trees and asked for the clippings to be put in my station wagon. $00.00!!

(51,311 posts)7. I bought my first pieces at a S. C. outlet---they had a discontinued pink-mauve that matched my
kitchen floor tiles. Now I also have Caribbean Blue, Dijon, Cassis, Kiwi, Cobalt, Onyx, and one Dune.

LOVE! But every time I use a piece (like the other day for cous-cous stew) I wonder how many more years I'll be able to lift them! Haha!
