Say goodbye to germs with high tech kitchen gadgets from Horchow catalog

I don’t like germs. Especially if they’re lurking around on my food. Before I sit down to lunch I double wash my grapes, lettuce, tomatoes and every other fruit and vegetable that’s going anywhere near my mouth. It’s no picnic. I hate germs, but I love gadgets, so this Nano Ultraviolet Disinfection Scanner from Horchow is the perfect gift. It makes all of my fruits and veggies completely germ free by sanitizing my kitchen countertops, plus I have a new hi tech gadget to play with while I’m mincing and dicing.

Elementar-tea my dear Watson

November 24, 2008

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.

Wake up and smell the coffee maker

November 12, 2008

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.

Make it a Tuscan happy hour

October 15, 2008

Why have a glass of vino when you can have a whole pitcher with Tuscan china and pottery from Artistica

Who doesn’t love Italy? I adore all things Italian: the art, the fashion, the gondola rides, those men with the striped shirts, red scarves and funny hats that steer the gondolas, the pizza, the meatballs, hey, I even love having a little taste of Italy now and again at Olive Garden. But most of all, I love the Chianti vino muy delicioso. (Was that Italian or Spanish?…romance languages kill me). One of my most prized possessions is my Tuscan China Vino Pitcher from Artistica.

Keep your tortillas warmer with spicy southwestern home decoration

I’m a hot tamale. I’m a fiery red head with the personality of a jalapeño pepper. All my co-workers know this. This is why I need southwestern home decorations that match my muy caliente personality. This Tortilla Warmer from Made in New Mexico is hotter than I am. I know, I didn’t think it was possible either. Can I get a ¡Chi Chi Arriba Arriba!?

Where’s the beef? It’s being tenderized by one of the newest, coolest gadgets from Brookestone Stores!

I’m a sports fanatic. I keep the tickets stubs from every game I’ve been to, even from Little League. There’s only one thing I love more than pro sporting events. Meat. Make that two things, meat and beer. There’s nothing better than tailgating with a few buddies before a big game with a case of brewskis on hand, a grill, a few babes and some perfectly tenderized meat. Not necessarily in that order. That’s why I set myself up with one of these Instant Marinater Meat Tenderizers from Brookstone that flava flav my meat in minutes.
