Food And Drink Pairings Tied Together, Literally

1

There are countless food and drink pairings tied together in our culinary consciousness. Food photographer Kyle Dreier takes the concept quite literally, in a photo series that fastens food to their go-to liquid sidekick.

Milk and brownies, beer and pretzels, sake and sushi — just add string, and the bond between these culinary duos becomes that much stronger. Now pass the milk and a pair of scissors.

The Best Pistachio Bowl That You’ll See Today

pistachio-bowl-set

Like most people, you eat your pistachios about a hundred at a time. The biggest concern, besides losing a nail trying to pry open a stingy shell, is where to throw all those empties.

The Pistachio Nut Bowl is here for a few reasons. One… It’s made to resemble a giant pistachio, so it should help make sure that there’s no mixing of nuts. Second… With its dual bowl design, you have one half to hold your ‘stachios, while you throw the granite-like shells in the other.

The Pistachio Nut Bowl is made from durable melamine by OTOTO, and is available here. OK, fine — you’re allowed to use it for olives too.

Strange Fruits, A Photo Series That Sees Fruit Differently

German designer Sarah Illenberger creates what appears to be simple still-lifes of fruit or everyday objects. But upon further inspection, Illenberger is actually juxtaposing produce and other random items to create surreal imagery. The pineapple disco ball is a personal fave.

Beertone, A Color-Matching System That Uses Beer Color

Beertone-0

Screw you, Pantone… There’s a new color-matching system on the block. Assuming that you only need the warm amber and golden hues of beer, Beertone is here to help. The formula guide includes 202 beers, their vital info, and color.

Although Beertone is currently available only in Swiss beers, there are plans to include other countries’ brews. If the U.S. is ever included, expect hues such as ‘Coors Light Clear,’ and ‘Budweiser Beige’. The Beertone color-matching system is currently available for pre-order.
