i drink a lot of tea. i can't do coffee because it tears my stomach apart, but tea, i drink a ton of. i was delighted to find that amazon has this MAMBO tazo tea because it is insanely delicious.

the hibiscus flowers have an extremely distinct flavor, and the rose petals and papaya chunks in the tea blend combine with the hibiscus to honestly create a totally unique flavor. i highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys "flower/herbal" teas.

I love these little clips...I have two sets of them. I live in an area that is experiencing a drought, and I'm always looking for ways to conserve water resources. I assign each of my four children a clip to be used for the day on their drink cups. Instead of using a new cup each time they want a drink, they just reach for their special clip! It really saves from washing endless numbers of cups. I even clip them onto a brass ring that is stored on the fridge so they can easily get a clip when needed. What a great product!! Many uses...

This is the ultimate tool for party organization. My guests never have to worry about which glass is theirs, plus it elimanates a ton of extra glass washing. I heartily reccomend this item. They also make great hostess gifts.

I really think this is a good idea and these are adorable... they are easy on glasses and don't scratch altho I don't think I would risk it on very expensive crystal. I like that they fit on the rims of glasses as opposed to the *stems* because it makes them much more visible.

I do think the set of 6 is too small (I got 2 sets) and if I was getting them as a gift I would probably get 2 sets... Even tho these come with a bag to store them in, I find them hard to keep track of. I almost lost 2 to the garbage disposal, alone. So it becomes a bit of an expense especially with shipping added on.

I would have love it these were enamaled in color. I think that would have added zip to them and made them perfect, even tho they really are pretty cute. I think this is a great gift for someone just starting a home... or who likes martini-ish gifts. Sometimes the martini-theme gets a bit much (Altho i sure like my martini kitchen towels)... and this is a nice change.

ALL of the Vacu Vin products are amazing. We have used the regular size (wine bottle) chillers for years and love them. I was searching for a way to quickly chill Champagne and found that Vacu Vin made one as well! I also recommend their vacuum marinade system to the best tasting, most tender meat you could ever ask for!

Vacu Vin has made my day!

Once again the time had come. August of every year, the month when Mr.Bits must defend his crown: The 2000 National Lentil Festival Cook-Off Grand Champion. You'd be surprised at the conniving and politics that surrounds an event of such caliber. The solitary fact that as Grand Champion I get free lentils for the entire year attracts a great number of fair weather friends. Location: Pullman, Washington. I had already spent a great deal of time collecting my thoughts on a rock steady new recipe to sustain my 1999 title. Sure, it all started out as a fun little social commentary about the injustice of the banana industry claiming to be the kings of good nutrition and potassium (did you know that a serving of lentils provides 360mg of potassium?), but now this has grown into battle to uphold my honor. I didn't want to stand on that Festival Parade Grand Champion float unless I had done my best. This year posed a completely new set of challenges. The estimated advertising revenue the festival was projected to make was staggering. The National Bean and Lentil Coalition must have done some to serious bargaining to lure this year's judges away from sunny Burbank, CA and their backset "Jeopardy!" jobs. Talk about strict, when these people say mashed lentils, they mean mashed lentils! Last year, contender, Patrico Rea was disqualified because of an insulting submission of lentil clumps. All these pressures combined with the hopes and dreams of local Lentil farmers placed a great deal of pressure on me. Failure was not an option; I needed the perfect ingredients, perfect equipment, and the perfect recipe. On a routine daily visit to ..., I noticed the Weber 124 BBQ Apron in the ... Recommendations Section. I like the fact that Weber named it The 124 Barbecue Apron. You see, people expect 3 to follow 2, (1,2,3), but they don't expect 4. Something unexpected, unpredictable, it embodied all I wanted to say with my lentil recipe. This was a much-needed stroke of luck, due to the intense heat and danger created by my patent-pending procedure of cooking my lentils with super-heated steam; the dense twill fiber really saved the day. When the decisive moment came, The Judges came to try my "Mango Home Jamaican Me Crazy Lentil Chili". As they lifted their bowls, I flipped my Weber 124 Apron backwards as though it was a cape. The Judges chewed, paused, and looked at each other for what seems an eon. Silence... Next, they looked at each other, swallowed, and then smiled and exhaled in a choir of MMMMMs (that's right five "M"s!). The crowd loved my apron/cape trick and subsequently went wild! I cannot give the cape all the credit, after all, it was my recipe, but the apron did make me feel like a winner, or should I say Grand Champion.

I would like to the fine folks at Weber and ... -Meesta Bits 2001

This tool set makes it an even greater pleasure to grill.
The craftmanship used to produce these tools is superb.

The spatula is the perfect size when making hamburgers, the fork is sharp and sturdy, the pliers can pick up even a big piece of meat.

To top it off, these babys are beautiful as well. (ok so call me a Weber nerd)

I ordered this entire line for my new kitchen/
keeping room combination. If you like earth
tones and jewel tones you will love this set.
The pattern goes well with my plaid table linens
which are jewel toned green and burgandy.

I bought my first one a few years ago. I recommend it to anyone that wants a hassle free opener. Everyone will be amazed at how great this opener works.
