Our favorite ice shaver ever... everyone in my family owns one and it's great! It effortlessly shaves ice... just put in the ice cubes, turn the cover to lock and the machine will do all the work. Worth the extra bucks!

Bottom line- when you're bartending a few big parties at home and you're serving ridiculous amounts of drinks and you rely on the ice tong a lot, grips help and a tong that clamps everytime you put that sucker in the bucket is something worth investing esp. when it'll set you back only a few bucks. It's a good time-saver and a comfort for your hands.

I'm not kidding. I have brewed this exact recipe several times and it has turned out better than store-bought beer. Tasty tasty TASTY!

these are basically designed for espresso grinding and at that they are unmatched in their price range. I have used commercial grinders and they are much faster becuase of bigger motors and gears but this little grinder is every bit as good in quality of grind as a commercial grinder costing 5X as much and much easier to adjust the grind. It grinds directly into the filter, so you pull the hande handle out of the machine, knock out the old coffee, grind right into the filter and put the filter handle right back into the machine. No wasted stale coffee sitting in a doser or preground in a container.
Highly recommended.

I bought this whipped cream dispenser a few years ago and use it at every holiday or dinner party. The whipped cream is so easy to make: pint of heavy cream, a bit of vanilla and conf. sugar. Then screw in the charger and then you have great whipped cream. VERY EASY. Never have had a problem with this dispenser. The cream is cold and it makes alot. I have had parties of 15+ and still not run out of cream. Only thing is that you need to hold the dispenser completely straight up to get the cream out, sideways will not work.

Most travelers to Italy have come across the various pieces made from Murano glass. They're colorful and unique. Fashioned on the island of Murano craftsmen turn out necklaces, watches, rings, opulent vase, dishes, even glass candies.

Now, here is a gorgeous bottle stopper made from the same beautiful glass. It's a stopper any wine lover would be proud to own or give as a gift.

The Jamie Oliver collection of dinnerware by Royal Worcester is very well made.

This bowl is both functional and stylish.

I would strongly suggest you "click" on the photo of this bowl so you can more easily see the design.

Yes, there's a very subtle design on the outsides of the bowl - matching the rest of the Jamie Oliver collection.

This bowl is sturdy but not too heavy. It's well made and usable as both a mixing bowl or serving bowl.

It would make an ideal pasta serving dish.

I use my bowl every day, but it could easily be presentable in a more formal occasion.

The item arrived carefully packed and in pristine condition.

Another great item from Jamie Oliver and Royal Worcester.

I compared this travel model with the full-size J-2000 steamer. They were both very good at removing wrinkles from business-type clothing. We steamed a full week's wardrobe, and the clothing done with the travel steamer looked just as good as the others. The only drawback to the travel model is related to its small size - it needs to be refilled every 3-6 garments, and the smaller steam head means that it takes longer to steam an item. However, I actually found that the small steam head worked better on small areas like collars and cuffs, especially since it has squared corners. The corners mean that you do have to be a bit careful with delicate knits, though. Worth the price if you really need to look your best when you travel.

I'd been looking ALL over for a tea pot like this one. I love the transferware look,and Johnson Brothers is a very respected line of chinaware.

The shape is very traditional, and will go with any classic decor and your real antiques. It makes a fine cup of tea, too. Just lovely. If you know someone who collects antiques or loves traditional English tea, this is a fantastic gift idea.

Since Johnson Brothers Willow Blue is an "open stock" pattern, you will have to decide which extra pieces you will want to go with your pretty blue and white handpainted porcelain placesettings. This butter dish matches the "traditional" Creamer, Covered Sugar bowl, and S & P set. However, if you are like me, you might prefer the 3-D accessories. Even so, you might want to get this one, and if a 3-D butter dish is added to the line, you can always use one for margarine.
