I hate chopping onions. So does my spouse, who was chopping them a day or two ago. I tried to say something, and I was cut off by a sharp “not now!” - she was in so much pain from the onions that she couldn’t even talk to me. Crying when […]

I had no idea you can make espresso on your stovetop! I thought you needed one of those fancy machines like they have at Starbucks. But Bialetti makes the Dama, which has an easy-grip silicone handle and cooks up the coffee right at home without a giant machine. Bialetti is apparently […]

Oh, to live in Japan and speak Japanese! If I did, I would be able to order and use the Hello Kitty microwave oven from Toshiba. It’s a microwave and an oven, with the oven cooking at 1100W and the microwave cooking at 950/1300W which I think is standard here too. […]

Most people know Henry, the smiling little vacuum cleaner who is popular because he fits into small spaces - we took that picture on a cruise ship, for example. But now there’s his friend Hetty! (Maybe she’s his sister or his girlfriend, I don’t know.) Hetty has all the same features […]

It’s pink, it’s a toaster, it’s $240. I am honestly not sure why a two-slice toaster would be $240, even if it does have an ejection lever and extra-wide slots to accommodate bagels and the like. I mean…it’s a toaster. It also comes with a “sandwich cage” with a built-in drip […]

Further evidence that everything you could ever need in your life is available with Hello Kitty on it: the Hello Kitty shake mixer. Just put Kitty’s - um, appendage - in your powdered drink, add water, and turn her on. Instant milkshake! I could actually conceive of using this myself because […]

When I saw the shocking pink spring scale, I immediately thought of dieting. Perhaps that’s just because I’ve been on a diet for several years now, or perhaps it’s because I don’t cook - either way, I thought of dieting. But according to the site that’s selling it, they can also […]

It amuses me that even the largest appliance in the kitchen comes in a gorgeous shade of pink. Unfortunately it’s a little small, under five feet tall and only a little over nine cubic feet. And the inside isn’t pink, although it does come with a small ice section and some drawers. […]

There’s a restaurant chain called The Melting Pot that has a location near me. They’re extremely popular, if you want to eat there you better make a reservation! And once you get there, bring your highest-limit credit card…it’s a pricey place. But why should I go to The Melting Pot when […]
