You know we are always on the lookout for handy new gadgets for the kitchen, and we have just found two more!  Aroma Egg Boiler
If you still can’t boil an egg, at least not the way you want it, this little machine is going to be your new best friend. It comes with a convenient measuring cup and shows you how much water to add. You push a button, and your eggs are prepared just the way you like them, from soft to medium or hard-boiled. There’s a signal to alert you when they’re ready, and the removable lid and egg tray are a cinch to clean. It’s a pretty little thing, and it can handle up to seven eggs at a  time.
Helman Peanut Butter Machine
And if you are in the mood for a good ol’ fashion PB&J, turn the dial from creamy to chunky (five clicks), drop in your favorite nuts (peanuts, walnuts, macadamias, almonds), and have scrumptious homemade nut butter in just minutes. With this machine, you’ll have many healthier, fresher and more delicious alternatives to grocery store peanut butters – even the “natural” ones contain mystery ingredients. You will also have the peace of mind of knowing exactly what’s in your peanut butter, and if you’re like us, you can never have it too fresh or too crunchy! |

 Okay, we’ve all been there; the Big Game is on and the TV is up LOUD. The phone rings and your significant other not only answers it, but tries to talk over the blaring noise. Really, who wants to reach all the way over to the coffee table, grab the remote and hit “mute”?
Yes, ladies, we know it’s ridiculous and annoying and should not even qualify as a challenge, but so it goes. But we have a great solution. Your squeeze and the TV-Silencer were made for each other. Any time the phone rings while the television is on, TV-Silencer mutes the TV so he can talk on the phone and update his buddy on scores (and other earth-shattering information!) without all that background noise. This innovative little device will also mute the stereo or pause your DVD player when it hears the phone ring. So, next time you host Chick Flick Night at your house, the TV-Silencer might turn out to be your new best friend as well. |

It has been a quick summer, and I figured this was a good time to resume my blogging duties since there are a plethora of things to chat about. The hot topic no matter where you turn this week is John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin as his running mate on the Republican ticket. Now let me say up front that I am a card-carrying Democrat. But I have always fancied myself to be one who could appreciate both sides of the Republican/Democrat argument. For instance, I have always thought John McCain to be an OK Republican - not sure I would ever vote for him, but he doesn't give me the complete willies like George W. So here is my question to the McCain camp regarding their "maverick" move in picking Palin as his running mate: Do you think that Republican boobs = Democrat boobs? You may be asking yourself what the heck I mean, so let me explain. |

A glimpse into the future: Digital cameras with wireless internet access for instant downloading and a built-in GPS that tags each picture’s date and location.
Now: A 160 GB iPod Classic ($349) can store 4,000 albums, freeing up 154 feet of shelving (or 22 CD towers). 
A glimpse into the future: Artists cut out the middleman to sell fans downloads by subscription. |
