Kitchen Cleanup: Mini Robo Vacuum

Now for something completely different. We saw this Mini Robo Vacuum at Fred Flare and couldn't resist. This little droid is a mini-vacuum for your tabletop and kitchen counters, zooming around to pic...

Sleepy Morning Question: How Do You Like Your Toast?

White, wheat, or rye? Plain, buttered, or with jam? Morning, noon, or night? Oh, the variations are endless! But the question is: which one do you like the very best?...

Look! Madonna and Child Potato

Just in time for Christmas, a Madonna and Child Potato on eBay. No, this wasn't forwarded to me by an email-forward-happy friend. It came from a relation (I won't give away more than that, but it is...

Turkey in Two Hours: What's the Deal With the NuWave?

We have an odd fascination with as-seen-on-TV gadgets, and this time of year the NuWave and its promises of fast turkey roasting are everywhere. What's the NuWave oven, and can it really cook a turkey...

Look! A Cozy Bacon Wrap

We've seen other examples of "wearable" bacon in years past, but this bacon wrap really takes the cake...er...the bacon. The holidays are coming - is this something you'd like to give or receive?!...

Impractical? Perhaps. Gaudy? Mmm...a bit. But once a year we pull these Halloween plates out of storage and use them with a smile all month long - and often quite a bit longer! A look at the other pla...

Hot or Not: Extreme Tailgating Vehicle

I just caught wind of something I never dreamed existed: a customized off-road and tailgating vehicle. It's a 2005 Chevy Silverado kitted out with grills on the hitch and front bumper, seven televisio...

Toad in a Hole and Birds in a Nest: What Are Your Favorite Food Names?

We had some British relatives visiting this past weekend, and one night (over burgers and pints, of course!) we got into a conversation about "silly" food names from both sides of the pond. Hear a few...

Hot or Not: Nordic Rock Stone Ice Cubes

Hmm. We like the idea of these reusable stone cubes, made from "Swedish pollution-free rock." You put them in the freezer for an hour and they keep a drink cold without diluting it. On the other hand,...

Flickr Find: Plush Easy-Bake Oven from Yummy Pancake

When searching for a picture of a (real) oven on Flickr, we came across this hand-crocheted creation from crafter Yummy Pancake. Could this be any more adorable? We have some bad news, though......
