My sister loves to cook with fresh herbs, and in order to get the herbs to the point where they can be used in the recipe, she needs to grind them up in a mortar and pestle. This particular brand is available in different colors, and is made from stone so all you get in your recipe are the herbs, not any shavings from the pestle.

I love hot wings. I love to test myself and see how much I can handle. I do pretty well for the most part, but I’m always looking to see what else is out there. So, when I saw this hot sauce from Hot Sauce planet, I just had to order some. $7.85 for a 6 ounce bottle. Hopefully this stuff is hot so I don’t use too much at one time.

The wife and I are thinking of watching a movie and having some popcorn as a snack (big surprise, huh?). We recently went to Galena, IL and bought some of their delcious gourmet popcorn. When I got home I found out they have an online store. They sell the popcorn by the bag and by the tin. The tins are really cool, with a great nostalgic look to them. Guess where I’m getting my popcorn from now on.

To quote a review on amazon.com “Don’t bother unless you enjoy dark, rich, flavorful moist fruitcake! ” A great idea, and a great price, for holiday gift giving.

Rarely does one come across anything that makes one happy to be alive. The flavor of these are so rich that just one can be satisfying. The outside has a solid shell and the inside is the most creamiest wonderful chocolate. It comes in a beautifully decorated holiday package, just perfect for gift giving.

For my daughter’s birthday, my mom thought it’d be cute to order Personalized M&M’s and put them in the gift bags that are given to the birthday party guests.
Here is my review: They turned out awesome! It’s a totally cool idea and it was super easy to do. All you need to do is visit the M&M’s website and go to the section to create personalized M&M’s – upload a picture, type what you want the M&M’s to have written on them and pick colors and how you want them packaged. Viola! DONE!
The downside? The price. It was over $80 for 20 small tins of these M&M’s! A cute idea for a very special event.
