Frying up some crispies at home!

February 26, 2009

I went out on a limb and got Mamma G a deep fryer for her B-day earlier this month. I know, kitchen appliances aren’t overly romantic, but I did the jewelery thing last year. Anyway, the T-Fal self filtering fryer from Costco looked like a pretty neat device so I succumbed to the lure of [...]

Don’t Bruise Your Banana

November 5, 2006

The perv in me just couldn’t leave this one alone. Wrap yer nanner folks!
Seriously though, while this looks more at home in a sex shop, it belongs in your kid’s lunch box. Say goodbye to the dastardly squished banana and hello to the firm, unblemished fruit. Your offspring will thank you for protecting their daily [...]
