    We love our garlic press, our egg slicer and Bruce's mom sometimes gets silly things for the boys as gifts. One time she got us a hamburger press. We use that thing ALL the time. Usually once a week we have turkey burgers and it is great for making the patties. If it ever breaks I will have to find another one.

    We also love our cuisinart. He uses that to chop up the onions for the turkey burgers. We had a small one but it was slowly dying. So I bought a larger one at Costco while I was up in Oregon for my sisters wedding a few weeks ago.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    What's old is new again. We had a set of these when I was little and I see that the Pampered Chef is carrying them -- I laughed right out loud when I saw these!

    A magic bullet is a very powerful, upside down, blender...I suppose. Though, I do have a blender and I have never liked it like I like the Magic Bullet. The brains in the Magic Bullet is that the lid is screwed onto the top of a container, you flip it upside down and then put it on the blender...so it all falls to the bottom. You can shake it while it is blending...so that the stuff gets blended well, you can serve your drink in the container you make it in (we like that idea).

    I would post the link but have yet to do it correctly in 12 years I have been on here. LOL
