Vertical Herb Garden Planter

I am so loving this chalkboard vertical herb garden planter.  It is securely mounted to the wall and offers a unique and space-saving method to harvest fresh herbs.  It is also a great way to add lush greenery to the kitchen or outdoor area.  Just fill it with the herb of your choice and don’t forget to water it.  The chalkboard paint finish allows you to label the herbs.  Available at Williams-Sonoma.

Here is a bowl which I would love to have.  It is the Obol Original Crispy Bowl which is designed to ensure that the cereal we are eating will not turn soggy.  You know how it is that sometimes when you leave the cereal too long in the bowl to attend to a phone call or some household chores, the cereal will turn soggy when you finally have the time to continue eating?  Well, with this bowl, you can enjoy your meal till the last bite because it has a little divider and a handle at the bottom to keep the milk or soup at a perfect angle.  This bowl is great for those who want to eat in bed or while watching a movie.  Obol is made from food safe BPA free unbreakable polypropylene and dishwasher safe. Well now I can eat my cereal while reading up on ach payment without worrying that my food will become soft.

Squeeze Lemons Without The Mess

I use lemons very often for my salad dinner.  While lemon is filled with lots of goodness, I do not enjoy squeezing it.   I get the juice everywhere and then I would have to pick out the pips.  Thank God for this Lemon Squeezer which I came upon yesterday.  A very useful tool for the kitchen.  It is available at Gnr8.biz. With this handy Lemon Squeezer, you can squeeze the lemon without squirting juice and pips everywhere.

Alessi Apostrophe Orange Peeler

I came across this nifty orange peeler – Alessi Apostrophe from Amazon.com yesterday.  What is does is that it cuts through the peel and leave decorative marks on the orange.  The Alessi Apostrophe also features an ergonomic design which allows the hand to hold easily.  It is made from precision-cast steel with mat finish for easier grip.   Unless I work in a restaurant or I am someone who love throwing fancy parties and use oranges as decoration, I do not think I would get this cool orange peeler.  Would you?

Helpful Notes For The Kitchen

I am a big fan of sticky notes.  This is probably a sign that age is catching up.  I tend to forget things easily hence sticky notes come in handy.  I have them in my office and my home.  I really the Kitchen Sticky Notes from Amazon.com.  It features a shopping list and cute notes for flagging recipes like “great for kids”, “didn’t work” and “too hard”.  I can also write notes and reminders such as “buy ephedra diet pills”.
