I’m cuckoo for cocoa cups
Best K Cups for the best cups of coffee, tea or cocoa
Our office recently acquired a new, shiny deluxe Keurig Single-cup brewer in the kitchen and I was ecstatic. We’re in the middle of a recession and my AM Starbucks runs were the first luxury to go. Our boss brought in a huge box of the best K Cups in my humble opinion, the Hot Cocoa ones from Green Mountain Coffee, and I couldn’t wait to enjoy my first cup of delightfully rich and creamy cocoa goodness. Little did I know I was not Keurig inclined.
I pranced into the kitchen with my cocoa K Cup, head held high. I admired the sleek craftsmanship and finish, removed the foil top from my K Cup, placed it in the machine and waited. A “Not Ready” warning flashed, so I waited patiently for my mid-day treat. Twenty minutes or so passed with me standing there, occasionally glancing at the vending machine. Perhaps I’d have some Biscotti with my cocoa…and then all cocoa hell broke loose.
Get well fruit basket saves sick girl’s life
These Get Well fruit baskets make fresh n’ fruity get well gifts
I was a sick girl last week.
It was bad. I looked like hell, felt like I had been hit by Chris Brown and came very close to calling the Department of Disease Control because I was convinced I had somehow contracted bird flu.
I couldn’t eat, couldn’t drink and it hurt to blink. Naturally my work suffered, but I am now back on track and in a state of total recovery thanks to this Get Well Fruit Basket my co-workers sent me from Pemberton Farms. It made my day. They must think I’m pretty sic.
I’ve got a thing for tarts
These mini tarts fulfill all of my hot tart cravings
A man can never have too many tarts sitting around.
I especially love a good tart after a hard day at work, after a nightcap, just before bed and twice every year on my Birthday. The guys at David’s Cookies offer a scrumptiously appetizing individual assortment of Mini Fruit Tarts that give me a rush every time I need some sugar.
Make no mis-steak, this marinade rocks
Easy steak marinade to perfect your steak eating game
Back in my high school glory days I was quite the basketball hero. As a power forward I’d get nothing but net out there on the court. I can almost hear the cheers that would emanate from the crowd as I hung from the net, legs dangling in the air. My knees aren’t what they used to be, but I still love playing a game of hoops every now and then with my boy and rewarding my fine athletic skills after a brutal game of HORSE with a juicy 24 oz porterhouse steak.
Thankfully, the King of B-ball - the legendary Michael Jordan - brings me mail order steaks fit for a King, as well as all of the proper accoutrements. Michael Jordan Steaks serves up The Ultimate Starting Line up of delicious Steak Marinades with a set of sauces that slam dunk it out of the ball park, every time.
These cupcakes Ba-rock
Themed cupcakes featuring Barack Obama make tasty Presidential treats
I’m a Republican. This election was particularly difficult for me, with many Democratic supporters, friends, co-workers and colleagues urging me to cross party lines and vote for the Obama/Biden ticket (especially Trish- Ms. Yes We Can).
I was hesitant at first, but these Obama Themed Cupcakes from Mrs. Beasley’s almost made me switch over. Go ahead, call me a traitor, Cindy McCain would’ve switched over too if she had tried one of these cupcakes.
Elementar-tea my dear Watson
The tea pot did it in the billiard room… or was it the kettle in the library
Some people call me Amy, but those who know me to a tea (sorry, tee) call me Sherlock, Super Sleuth Extraordinaire. When I’m not working my day job at Catalogs.com, I would do Sir Arthur Conan Doyle proud, solving various neighborhood crimes and mysteries. I don’t like to brag, but most recently I single-handedly nabbed the culprit who stole my garbage can. The proper authorities were contacted immediately.
Once the crime solving is finished and the mysteries are solved, I like to come home, take off my trench coat, smoke a pipe and use this Japanese Tea Pot from Todd & Holland Tea Merchants to brew the finest Earl Grey tea… just as my dear predecessor Sherlock Holmes would have done.
I’m freezing my eggs
Petrossian gift sampler for eggsellent caviar online
My husband and I received an early Christmas gift this year. We weren’t expecting it, but were thrilled nevertheless. We waited a long time for it and weren’t sure if it would ever really happen, but alas, it did… Our wealthy relatives (who shall remain nameless) finally sent us a decent Christmas gift.
We opened up a package to discover a divine gourmet treat that makes up for half a dozen years of Reindeer and Snowman sweaters. The only problem? There’s too much of it. Petrossian puts all their eggs in one basket with this ever so rich Online Caviar Masterpiece Trio gift sampler.
They call him Big Red

Simple fact- big guys love big live lobsters
Bigger is better. No doubt about it. When it comes to food, cars, flat screen TV’s, all men will concur. Super Size us. From burgers to steaks, ribs to seafood…give us a Fred Flintstone-sized portion and we’ll be happy.
This big live lobster from Simply Lobsters is no exception. Feast your eyes on three pounds of deliciously juicy lobster meat just waiting to come out of his hard shell.
Virginia Peanuts are for lovers
Gifts of peanut brittle for people you like
I heart Virginia. Arlington. The Virgina Tech Hokies. It’s common knowledge that Virginia Beach is for lovers. Apparently I didn’t get the memo because my travel companion was far from lovely and not the least bit lovable…and no, it wasn’t John McCain. It was no honeymoon, but taking a trip to the good ol’ Virginia Diner made it all worth it. I picked up tons of Peanut Brittle gifts for all of the people I did love. I should’ve gone to Virginia Beach with them.
It’s not easy, being cheesy
Enjoy some cheddar cheese popped popcorn featured in a Go Badgers popcorn container
Why are men like popcorn?
Because they satisfy you, but only for a little while.
I jest. If you want some popcorn that dispels this myth, get on the road and head on down to Rural Route 1 for a Popcorn Container tin filled with delicious gourmet flavored popped popcorn that is totally satisfying, every time you pop a kernel in your mouth.
Get sauced
It’s barbeque galore with barbecue ribs, sauce and all the fixings at the Hitching Post!
Once upon a time there was a boy named Bryan. Bryan liked his BBQ. In fact, as a tiny tot the tender age of six, he was aptly nicknamed BBQ Bryan. Bryan loved all things barbeque… Barbeque ribs, barbeque chicken, barbeque wings, barbeque burgers, barbeque dogs, barbeque pork… barbeque corn nuts. If they made a barbeque flavored ice cream, our BBQ Bryan would be serving himself a triple cone of it right now- with a cherry on top. In his time, BBQ Bryan had personally taste-tested over ten thousand varieties of barbeque dishes. The only BBQ to truly capture BBQ Bryan’s heart? The Barbeque galore and special sauce they’ve got over at the Hitching Post.
Trick or treat, smell my feet
Popcorn tins, fruit gift baskets and treats, oh my!
Halloween is almost here, and I want candy. My personal trainer would probably advise against it, but what he doesn’t know can’t hurt me. I’m too old to trick or treat, and I can’t steal candy from my son’s Halloween stash, so I’m trick and treating myself with this Trick or Treat Poprickle Halloween Popcorn Tin from Hale Groves. Get off my back, I’m ordering a super healthy Fruit Gift Basket overflowing with healthy oranges full of Vitamin C to go along with it.
