Dani – Weeks later, I’m still fantasizing about William! I’m not familiar with that faucet you mentioned, but that sounds like something I would love. Seems like my hands are always sticky when I bake. Great tip about the ice cubes – will try that!
FABulous list, Amy!
I only use facebook to monitor my granddaughter’s activity.
The William is the best thing I’ve seen since the faucet that you can turn on with the back of your hand on the faucet for times that you’re cooking or baking and don’t want to touch the handles because you have dough or whatever on your hands.
I agree ~ Locavor should not have been rejected!
I bookmarked the age-reversing chocolate bar.
Really liked ALL of the rest of the Product Finds. Did you know that if you want to make ice cubes out of tea, lemonade, gin, cola, etc. so that the ice won’t dilute your drink, you can fill the ice cube tray (plain or fancy) half full with the liquid and add a cherry, slice of whatever citrus, olive, pearl onion, mint, sugared grape or edible flower, etc. and let it freeze. Then top off the cubes with more of the liquid. (That way the fruit or whatever is centered in the ice cube.) It takes a little extra time, but makes for a dramatic presentation and drinks that don’t get watered down as the ice melts.
Thanks for taking the time to put together such an amazing list of links. Have a great week! *HUGS*
Melissa – I know, I want them all too! Gaaaa. I’m going broke.
Natasha – Glad you enjoy them!
Joanne – Who needs a date when you’ve got The William? I want to curl up next to him and whisper sweet nothings, he’s so amazing.
Oh my god I want that oven. Want. It. Now.
And I’m feeding my next date salmon. Covered in nuts. And sesame seeds. Served with a side of chocolate. End of story.
Fun links – thanks for sharing these!
I love every single one of your product finds this month. Very cool stuff!!
Mike – I loved those, too. There are several that I want – maybe good stocking stuffer gifts? Just looking ahead and all ;-)
Dad – Lol. Oh, that was a good one.
Cheryl – My mom is a huge tea drinker also…I thought if her when I saw it. And I totally agree about The William. Most people are mesmerized by watching a sunset. Me? Watching a video on new cooking technology.
Steph – The William is on my wish list for the day I win the lottery. Thanks for joining the fan page!!!
Fun roundup as always. The William is incredible although it would take me a lifetime to afford it. I “liked” you, btw!
Super list of products this month Amy. I’m with Mike, those ice cube trays are great. I really like the scoop strainer and shark fin tea infuser. My mom is a huge tea drinker and she would love that. Oh and the William? That is amazing.
I came for the cookie mug (of course), but the ice cubes are interesting. I’ve decided to forgo the purchase, and hand carve my ice cubes for very small weddings.
As usual, Amy, a unique collection.
Love the ice cube trays. As always, this is a fun list, Amy.
