    Parched?

    I’ll take three, please. They’re $298 each you say? I see. Picture me walking away slowly. It truly is the beverage dispenser of my dreams. Sexy, curvy, design-y, part glass/wood/steel.

    It’s no secret we like to imbibe from time to time here at Casa de Yu. Recently we decided to experiment and see what else is out there.

Up until now we’ve cooking on some old pots and pans that Yong inherited/found and other random cookware that was in our kitchen…
