by Laura Welcome to the first installment of the Daily Triangle Gift Guide; over the course of the week, we’ll explore some local shops to highlight unique holiday giving ideas.

Triangle Thankfulness
by Laura Here’s my Triangle thank you list – so much to be grateful for this season: 10. Free public transportation outside my door. When is this ever a bad community investment?

You Say Potato, I Say Many, Many Potatoes (Please?!)
by Laura When I was little, I used to request that my parents make meat-potato pie.

Foodie Efficiency
by Laura I have a ton of work to do next week (and, sadly, for the next four years), and while living off Harold’s stir fry is an experience not-to-be-missed, I am super-duper looking forward to getting dinner made by Foster’s Market! Many of you Dukies may remember enjoying brunch in their outdoor sitting area [...]

The Many Faces of Noodle Gutmann
Unfortunately, most conversations with our erstwhile blog readers go something like this: Us: “Have you read our blog lately, family member or loved one?” Family Member or Loved One: “You should post more pictures of Noodle.” Since we know the Noodle-lovers aren’t in it for the content, we’ve opted for a multimedia display.
