Heart #91 goes to...Crate and Barrel's Egg-Perfect Egg Timer



Heart #91 goes to...Crate and Barrel's Egg-Perfect Egg Timer!  This is the best $4.95 you will ever spend.  We love hard boiled eggs and egg salad so I use this all the time.  You simply put your eggs and this color changing egg timer in a pot, add water and start to boil.  "The timer takes into account the number of eggs, water used, altitude and your desired level of cooked egg, from soft- to hard-boiled".  As your eggs cook, the red color turns black starting from the outer edges.  I think this is great!  This makes a great stocking stuffer or wishing well gift for a bridal shower!

Heart #90 goes to...Meatball Grill Basket by Williams Sonoma



Heart #90 goes to...Meatball Grill Basket by Williams Sonoma!  If you know me, you know I love, love, love meatballs!!!!  I don't have an outdoor grill and I've never had meatballs on the grill but doesn't it sound so good?  I'm gonna buy this, have my mother in law make some meatballs and then head to my sister-in-law's house and grill away.  This stainless steel basket sells for $49.95 at Williams Sonoma and has perforated wells to "brown meatballs while excess fat drips away".  Yummy.  I know a certain lanai down south that could use this when I visit...hint hint. ;)

Heart #89 goes to...Sweet Potato Tempura Roll at Season's Japanese Bistro


Heart #89 goes to...Sweet Potato Tempura Roll at Season's Japanese Bistro! I go to this place often and order takeout all the time and I never realized that they had this roll on the menu. I had it yesterday for dinner and today again for lunch. I couldn't help myself, it's that good. I love sweet potatoes, but a sweet potato tempura??? Delicious!  You have to find this at your local sushi place and try it.

Heart #86 goes to...Baby Yogurt Yogorino

Heart #86 goes to...Baby Yogurt Yogorino!  I was at the mall the other day and was happy to stumble upon something new in the food court...Baby Yogurt!  This is a franchise that has made it's way from Italy, where it originated, to the US.  There is another one in Beverly Hills, CA one in Philadelphia, PA one in White Plains, NY and the girl there told me that they will be opening one in Connecticut somewhere.  This stuff is really good.  I had the chocolate with carob chips, my mother in law had coffee flavor with toasted coconut.  They have a bunch of different toppings including something that I haven't seen before.  It's called mochi and it is "Japanese rice cake made of glutinous rice pounded into paste and molded into shape".  They are cut into tiny little cubes and they are soft and chewy.  I had the girl give me a sample and I like it.  Here's kind of what it looks like...



From what I read, Baby Yogurt is giving Pinkberry some competition.  Other locations around the world besides Italy are...Greece, Germany, Spain, Dubai, Japan, and Korea.

Heart #83 goes to...The Headache Relieving Wrap by Hammacher Schlemmer


**Update for this post: I changed the picture associated with this product...I couldn't take looking at the guy with the wrap on his head...my husband thought it was creepy too.  So I found this picture...it's not the actual product, but if you really need to see it, click on the link below... :)
Heart #83 goes to...The Headache Relieving Wrap by Hammacher Schlemmer!  I almost didn't want to add this picture but I couldn't find a better one.  And maybe the fact that I have a huge migraine right now made me feel that this post was necessary.  This sells for $49.95 and here's what I like about it.  When I have a headache, there's nothing more comforting than something cold on my forehead or on my head.  I always get comfortable on the couch and hubby brings me a bag of frozen peas or coffee beans and I balance it on my head.  I must look pretty funny.  Well, with this I can move around and not worry about my beans falling off my head.  It comes with 3 reusable gel packs that can be heated or frozen and inserted into the headband.  I wish I had this right now!
