Ice Cream Cookbook


Ice Cream Cookbook

The Ice Cream Cookbook has 101 recipes with ice cream as an ingredient, so you can take something plain and fancy it up a bit. Lots of chefs will melt ice cream and use it as a sauce, too.

I wonder what the salads might be?

Today is Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day, so eat up!

Sunny Day Thermometer


Sunny Day Thermometer Today is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. It is also officially the first day of summer. This Sunny Day Thermometer can measure temperatures from -30 to 130 degrees. Let's hope it doesn't need to read that high!

Cool It! Personal Portable Fan


Cool It! Personal Fan It has been hot, hot, hot here in the Metro for the last week, and it looks lik it will be that way for a while. If you're going to the pool, the beach or a ball game, you're going to need something to help you keep your cool. The Cool It! Personal Fan would be a big help at the office, on a bus or subway, anywhere it can be hot and stuffy. Flexible fan blades are finger-safe, but still strong enough to cool you off completely.

More Mojitos, Please


Mojito Glasses Gift Set

As a southern gal I like mint juleps, mint in my tea and mint ice cream. So it's not a surprise that I like Mojitos - I mean REALLY like mojitos! The mojito was originally created in Cuba, and is a combination of rum, sugar, lime and mint.

This Mojito Glasses Gift Set was designed to look like an over-sized cigar box as an homage to the days when we could actually buy Cuban cigars. It also includes a collection of recipes for more Cuban drink concoctions.

Let's go make some Mojitos!

Ear Dryer


Swimmer's Ear Eliminator

At almost on hundred dollars, this Swimmer's Ear Eliminator may seem a bit pricey, but when you stop and think about one trip to the doctor - the time, the co-pay, the Rx, the fussy child - it could very well pay for itself if it eliminates that one office visit. And what if you're one vacation? Don't even think about it!

This handy gadget delivers a gentle 80-second stream of warm air into the ear, eliminating moisture trapped in the outer ear canal. Designed by a specialist, this compact device is ideal for swimmers, as well as those with regular ear infections. Includes four color-coded earpieces for use by multiple family members.

So stop jumping up and down trying to get that water out of your ears. Crank up the dryer!

More Brains! Must Have Brains!


Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read. Seth Graham-Smith has taken Jane Austin's original book and added - you  guessed it - zombies. Voila! No longer a stuffy old piece of slow-dragging historical literature, now it's a gross-out zombie thriller.

What a great way to get your high-schooler to actuall want to read the classics!
