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 Obama and Biden 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 and Biden 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.

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.

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.

Organic foods online rock my vegetarian world
I’m proud to be a Vegetarian. I treat my body like the temple it is and stay away from foods that have a face, or foods that are overly processed. That doesn’t mean I don’t get the odd craving for one of my old childhood staples every now and then. I get all my Organic Foods Online at Hodgson Mill, because I can pick up some old school food favorites made healthy like this yummy Whole Wheat Mac and Cheese.
Say L’Chaim to Signature wine
August 20, 2008
My son’s Bar Mitzvah is coming up, and between finding the venue, practicing the Torah with him, and finding a dress to wear…I was hard up for favors. I didn’t think personalized yarmulkes would have the same effect as personalized booze, so stocking up on Personalized Wine Bottles from Signature Wines seemed like a grand idea.
These lollipops don’t suck
July 31, 2008
I’ve heard of sucking out the venom if a scorpion stings you, but sucking on a scorpion period?! That’s out of control! These Scorpion Lollipops from CandyFavorites.com are so gross they’re good. These edible insects will make you feel like you’re part of some ancient tribal civilization…uh…that knows how to make sweets.
