If your old pans are in good enough shape you can always donate them so they get a second life. If they’re dangerously flaking though, the kindest thing to do would probably be to save someone else from using them since they can be exposed to dangerous chemicals. Perhaps there’s a way to recycle old pots and pans? Might be worth googling around for some info. Hope it helps!

That’s weird. Maybe that person scraped theirs up with a metal spatula? We have had zero problems with this (they still look mint, a lot better than most teflon versions do) and we prefer to use wooden spoons and spatulas (sustainable bamboo ones are our favorites). Of course we occasionally use metal ones too, but we don’t grind them against the pan or anything and we’ve never had so much as a tiny ding or scratch so they’re really super easy to use and take care of. Hope it helps!

Hey Alex,

It’s one of our favorite plants called a burro tail (we have like 7 all over our house). They’re succulents so they only need a splash of water once a week and they thrive. Stay tuned for pics of all of our house plants and a rundown of what impossible-to-kill types we love (and what planters we adore).

Stooooooop it! Here in Spain Santa only comes as an imported tradition, but here we originally celebrate the Epiphany, when the 3 magi (the 3 magic kings, as we call them) visit every home in one night (5th Jan) and then the next day, on the 6th, we open our presents. All children (and adults, you know) write them a letter, and if they’ve been good, they get what they asked for, if not, they get coal. Ok, a sugar-made coal. But still, black and ugly. (You can read more about this tradition here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Magi)

Buuuut! I’ve heard from a certain magi-assistant that I’m getting a bycicle, which I reaaally want, and 3 other little surprises. And Eric is getting some… well, I stop now, he’s been known to peek around here more than once.
