ooo. Iphone is soooo versatile. Calories huh.. got to try that out. LOL
I love your round-up! Always new and fun.
Fun, informative links! What a nice diversion as I chow down lunch (butternut squash risotto from the cafeteria!) in the beige cube today.
Didn’t know that banana peel can be reused. I learn something new today. ;)
Checked out most of the links. Years ago I bought that apron in a specialty store when on vacation. In fact, I bought two, and they turned out to be a great purchase. Just read something else about bananas and never knew they were so versatile. Food flags very clever.
Didn’t have time for videos so will check them out later.
I have to start blocking off time on the calendar when you post your round-up, Amy. I end up spending more than an hour going through all the great links!
Great list, as always! Love the banana-use link, and I can never get enough grocery-money-saving tips. And the cupcake waltz video was cute.
Wow. Great list, Amy! Wine for video gamers?! Hey, if you drink wine while playing video games, wouldn’t your ability to play well suffer? (He said, feigning ignorance.)
