Ice Invaders from Fred and Friends

Posted in dwell on July 15th, 2010 by admin – Comments Off

fred_and_friends_ice_invadersBefore Xbox 360, Playstation, and the Wii, there was a little something called the Atari. The simple graphics delivered hours of fun for lots of us, especially when Space Invaders came out. For those of us who miss the days of shooting pixilated aliens and for the others who just like a little something fun in their cool beverage, Fred and Friends Ice Invaders are a fun throwback and a conversation starter at parties. The tray makes 24 aliens and is made of 100% silicone so it’s easy to pop the little buggers out and the tray is oven, dishwasher, and of course freezer safe. Break out the joysticks and make some drinks for the Ice Invaders.

Avo Saver

Posted in dwell on July 11th, 2010 by admin – Comments Off

avo_saver_harold_import_companyWe eat a ton of avocados in our family but there are many times when we only use half of it and stick the other half in the fridge. The problem with this is that it turns the nasty brown and we end up tossing it which is a waste of good food and puts a damper on meal plans. Problem solved with the Avo Saver from Harold Import Company. The brown stuff happens when it’s exposed to air and the Avo Saver helps to keep this from happening. Just pop in the avocado and when you’re done using it, throw it in the dishwasher for the next use. Bring on the guacamole.

Fold Flat Grater from Joseph Joseph

Posted in dwell on June 6th, 2010 by admin – Comments Off

joseph_joseph_fold_flat graterOur kitchen cabinet space seems to grow more sparse every day and probably the most used gadget for cooking dinner is a grater. We hand-shred a lot of cheese and vegetables in this house so it gets taken in and out of the cabinet every day but it takes up so much valuable space. The answer to the kitchen clutter problem, the Fold Flat Grater from Joseph Joseph. We do have flat graters but you can’t get the same efficiency with a box one. The Fold Flat Grater is a sturdy tool with stainless steel blades for both coarse and and fine grating. When it’s flattened, it measures about 7 inches long by 7 inches wide is only half an inch tall. It is dishwasher safe which is awesome because scrubbing down a grater can be quite the chore. The Joseph Joseph Fold Flat Grater comes in green, red, black, and white.

There is nothing like the classic look of Vera Wang that everyone loves and to get the julep cup instead of a plastic vase is a great deal.
