Wake up and smell the coffee maker

Keurig and the coffee maker of my dreams
If I don’t have my coffee in the morning, I’m of no use to anyone. Don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, don’t breathe near me. Try it and beware of the Wrath of Linda. That’s right, it’s so bad, it’s italicized. Times are tight and I’m tired of spending gas on numerous coffee runs, so I’m thinking it’s time to invest in a new coffee maker that will keep me properly caffeinated. This Breville Keurig Single Cup Brewer from Green Mountain Coffee® isn’t just a coffee maker, it’s my coffee savior.
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.
Gone South for the pecans

A gift basket that’s affordable, and chock full of nuts
Gift baskets rule. Affordable gift baskets rule even more. Who doesn’t love receiving a gift basket filled with rich, decadent treats? If you know anyone, give them my address. I’d be more than happy to take those gift baskets off their hands, especially if it’s this Southern Pride Gift Basket from Savannah’s Candy Kitchen.
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.
Beer breath

Sit back and relax with icy cold bulk beer breath candy
Who needs a Lifesaver when you can have icy cool beer breath? I don’t drink much, but I do love a fresh mouth. So when I feel my breath is less than minty fresh, I reach for a roll of mah mah mah my Corona Mints. You won’t find retro and bulk candy cooler than at the Candy Warehouse.
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.
I’m on a diet Mac

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.
No more tears in the kitchen
August 21, 2008
My mother is a very sentimental woman. She’s always crying about something. Whether it’s a birthday, her grandkids growing like weeds, a sappy greeting card or if she’s chopping up an onion to put in a meatloaf…watch out, because here come the waterworks. When I saw these Onion Goggles from King Arthur Flour, I figured I could at least get her to stop crying in the kitchen.
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.
One Lazy lick after another
August 15, 2008
School is back in session! The lazy days of summer are over for my kids, but just beginning for me. Now that they’re back in school I can take a load off and enjoy leisurely dips in the water, lounging in hammocks and catch up on my summer reading. I don’t want to have to lift a finger, or turn a cone for that matter. I’m taking laziness to a new level with this Motorized Ice Cream Cone from Miles Kimball.com.
