Losanjealous Holiday Wishlist
This season, we here at losanjealous have received many notes of warm holiday wishes from delighted readers. Most, if not all, of these notes included hints as to what we might want for our holiday gift this year. “What might you need for your new offices?” or “What size sweaters do you wear?” or “You have offered free, high quality material for several months now, might I send you a small gift demonstrating my appreciation this holiday season?” And so forth. Your generousity has touched us. In order to simplify your shopping, we offer below a selection of items we would very much enjoy, all of which are readily purchasable online or can be gotten on a single trip to The Grove. Happy Holidays!

A vertical tower of slate tiles in a steel frame with antiqued rust patina creates a dramatic yet soothing focal point for indoor or outdoor settings. (Do our offices really need another one of these? –Ed.)

Cowichan shawl-collar full-zip cardigan
The Cowichan tribe has inhabited British Columbia for thousands of years. Their sweaters have long been prized for their distinct craftsmanship and detailing. This lambswool sweater is specially handknit in a traditional Cowichan pattern in a heavy 1.5-gauge knit. Rib trim at cuffs and hem.
Why is Batali selling a panini press as part of “Italian Cooking Essentials?” I was under the distinct impression that paninis are of Cuban origin.
I won’t buy the talking thermometer unless it says “Beef”.
Not only does the thermometer say “beef,” it does so in your choice of pre-loaded celebrity voices–
“This is Peter Falk. I played TV’s ‘Columbo’ from 1971-1978. Your steaks are now medium rare.”
“This is Peter Bogdonovich. I directed ‘The Last Picture Show’ starring a young, supple Cybil Sheppard, and was close friends with Orson Wells at the time of his death. Your chicken breasts are now cooked.”
Victor I already bought you Hummer cologne, take it off the list.
