I have to agree with Petter Slyngstad.“The Egg Whisk” by Sari Cunningham is my favorite. I loved the author’s use of language. Never thought of eggs as something sensual until I read this story.

I like everything about Meg and her stories. But Summer Lawn, by Shelagh Power-Chopra really rang my bell.

These are all excellent works. I’m going with “Culinary” by Meg Pokrass as my favorite. The mingling of food and food terminology works so well in this story, as does the dialogue and the relationship between the characters.

my vote is for “Culinary” by Meg Pokrass, her work consistently blows me away.

Of the six stories, the one titled “The Egg Whisk” by Sari Cunningham is my favorite. Beautifully tying in food to aptly describe the characters and their relations in life. I particularly like the “permanently scrambled” part, and the tie-in with Japanese culture.

The Popsicle Stick Construction is also at Bed Bath & Beyond. It's in the "Beyond" section.

I think this may be the only object we’ve offered that is actually pretty much available in retail stores right now. I saw it maybe Bed Bath & Beyond about a month ago. I didn’t know that when I picked it up (for a quarter).

If the egg whisk looks familiar, there's a reason. Note: Julie Powell did not donate the egg whisk to Significant Objects. Rob found it at a thrift shop.
