I’ve posted on this before,  but now, we’re thrilled to report that we’re carrying these super cool vintage-inspired staplers at Harabu House! Come find them here. These pops of color are available in white, orange, yellow (it’s really more like an ochre) and mint (again, more like a light blue). These handmade, vintage-inspired, and sleek 16 sheet capacity staplers are made by the talented Ellepi team in Cologno Monzese, near Milan. They are as fun as it is easy to use, whether in your hand or against a tabletop. These bright powder coated steel stapler is hand assembled with care, checked and tested by specialists in the tiny 4 person factory. Each stapler comes with a box of 1000 proprietary UNI staples.

I decided to attempt this recipe this past weekend – Laura Calder’s Chocolate Framboise. It’s actually not that difficult to make. You’ll just have to make sure you buy at least 5 pints of raspberries (2 pints to puree, and 3 pints for the outside). I didn’t buy enough and ended up with a semi-decorated dessert. Still, the end result was incredible – incredibly indulgent and a little goes a long way!

 

Those of you who’ve been to NYC know all about the Kimchi Taco trucks. Well, thankfully Asbury Park, NJ has their own version of these delicious tacos for those of us who can’t get to the city each time they have a craving for these. We sampled their spicy pork and fish tacos and we weren’t disappointed!

And finally, some of the colorful vendors and beautiful architecture from our trip.
