Here’s a fun product. Your pull the string, and the shaker starts shaking!! Just pull, turn upside-down, and the bits flicker out. You can always shake it yourself, but why shake when it can shake itself.PerpetualKid

“AOL has released their Cityguide for New York with a list of “The 2006 City’s Best,” some of which are a surprise and others which were not so surprising. Stone Park Cafe in Park Slope took Cityguide’s top restaurant honor, beating out big names like Daniel, Le Bernardin, Per Se, and Masa.”
Yummmm.. I’m due for a nyc trip.
Have you ever wondered what the number tags on fruit meant?
“The numbers tell you how the fruit was grown. Conventionally grown fruit has four digits; organically grown fruit has five and starts with a nine; genetically engineered has five numbers and starts with an eight.”
Pretty cool!

Who says peanut butter has to be spread! PBslices creates the easy to spread peanut butter slice, much like cheese slices. It was introduced in 2002, but hasn’t really spread out in the market..hehe. I love the idea, but then again, it seems odd. I eat slices of meat, cheese, and bread…but jam, peanut butter, perhaps a vitamin slice one day? This again is an example of perceptial familiarities. If peanut butter was first introduced by the slice, would we find the spreadable version odd?PBslices
I recently picked up a box of Eggology at the local market…. made a few breakfast plates and am hooooked! Eggology is simply fresh egg whites, and no yolk. At first, it was a bit odd, holding an entire container of egg whites, but it taste great and fresh!!… check out their website for fun recipes and facts.
“Position this ingenious disc-shaped slicer on any apple and rotate to release perfect slices for snacking or cooking. Don’t need a whole apple at once? Just leave the disc pressed against the fruit, and it will not dry out or turn brown. Made of stainless steel. Dishwasher safe.”Moma Store

Koreana– Yummy BBQ and a variety of other Korean dishes. Great space for a group of friends to relax and have fun.

OoooooO.. coool. Can’t wait for them to come out!
“Northern Nigeria is an impoverished region where people in rural communities eke out a living from subsistence farming. With no electricity, and therefore no refrigeration, perishable foods spoil within days. Such spoilage causes disease and loss of income for needy farmers, who are forced to sell their produce daily. Nigerian teacher Mohammed Bah Abba was motivated by his concern for the rural poor and by his interest in indigenous African technology to seek a practical, local solution to these problems. His extremely simple and inexpensive earthenware “pot-in-pot” cooling device, based on a principle of physics already known in ancient Egypt, is revolutionising lives in this semi-desert area.”
Projects like this amaze me. A simple product with a huge impact for millions of people. It also makes me realaize how much we rely on electricuty in our ever so tech-centric lives.
Ooo la la… Yum Yum.
“These gourmet Chocolate Covered Oreos are so gorgeous, it’s almost a shame to eat them. Luckily, they’re so delicious you’ll get past that problem on your very first nibble!”
I’m not sure if I’d dig right into thees sweeeet sensations, or just stare and drool since they look so amaazzzing!Chocoreos
