On Water, Filters and Faucets
We’re blessed in that this townhouse we’re renting is furnished with the must-have major appliances: refrigerator, dishwasher, stove/oven, microwave, washer and dryer. We love the fridge because it has a built in water and ice dispenser. The thing is, of late, the filter has gotten a bit costly. It now costs around $50.00 and we have to replace it every 3 months. This has left us to consider buying a hot/cold water dispenser, which, we think, is a worthwhile investment. Then again, if we’re going to use the ice from our fridge anyway, we’ll still have to replace the filter just the same. So upto now, we haven’t reached a decision yet.
Hubby was given a number of water filters by a co-worker. Ones that can be attached to kitchen sink faucets. Too bad we can’t use them because they are not compatible with our faucet. We are so tempted to take out current kitchen faucet, replace it with a new one and just re-attach the original faucet when it’s time for us to move to another home. I’ve actually already started windowshopping for Delta faucets. Oh well. We’ll have to see how this will all come together. Hee hee.

Motorized Ice Cream Cone
Do you like ice cream on a cone? Would you eat ice cream on a motorized cone?
I haven’t decided yet if I would. Hee hee. I’ll probably try it once and decide from there. Hee hee.

Indiana Jones Meal
Indiana Jones will hit movie theaters on the 22nd of this month. I know and I’m sure I’ve seen Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade. But for the life of me, I can’t recall what these movies were all about. Hee hee! There’s one tiny detail I do recall though…in one of these 3 movies, there’s a scene where Indy and his companions were served soup and in the soup were eyeballs. Gross, yeah? 
I think an Indy marathon is in order. I’m thinking of inviting my friends and their kids. And I’m sure the kids will get a kick out of this…
It’s a Chef Mario’s Dining Disasters Stretchghetti and Body Parts, another one of those crazy kitchen toys. It looks almost like real spaghetti but really icky to the touch, plus the eyeballs. But with the price tag at more or less $9? Forget it! We’ll probably just stick to the real deal, or just order pizza instead.

Holy Toast
Why anyone would want to have a toast like this is beyond me.
This is called “Holy Toast: The Miracle Bread Stamper that makes a heavenly breakfast! ”
Tsk, tsk! I just don’t get it. It’s supposed to be a “gag gift for those who believe in miracles.” Not funny, I say. Not funny. Or is it just the Catholic in me talking? Oh well.

Cool Ice
It’s already summer in the Philippines, my home country, and here in Texas, where I am now, it feels like summer already. It’s safe to say that ice is at its most popular around this time. Want to have stylish ice? Check these out!
1. Ice Spoon Mold
If you don’t like plastic spoons and at the same time dread having to wash real spoons, this might be perfect for you. An ice spoon! :D Every body loves a glass of iced tea so have one in style. The ice doubles as a stirrer…stirrer you won’t have to clean-up. Look ma, no more spoon! 
2. Ice Kabobs
Spring & summer translate to barbecue/ grill season. How about some ice kabobs to match the grilled meat kabobs? Hee hee.
3. Fred Cool Jewels
They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend…jewel ice, too!
4. Fred Cool Jazz
This literally jazzes up your drink. :D
5. Ice Shot Glasses
This will be a big hit for those who love a shot. ;) What’s cooler than a shot glass made of ice? This is a reuseable mold which can be filled with water, juice or ice mix or whatever beverage. Freeze it and it’s ready!
6. Fred Cool Shooters
This isn’t any different than #5, but’s it’s cheaper by $2.
Happy ice molding, y’all!

Crazy Kitchen Gadgets: Drinking Glasses
How are your eyes? Good I hope! Did you know that there is an eyeglass looking drinking thingy? Dig this…
It’s called the Sip ‘n Swirl drinking glasses. Here’s the description: “This straw sits as glasses on your face and when you sip, the liquid swirls around your eyes! It’s goofy and hilarious! Great for kids and fun for adults.” Hee hee! I’m kinda liking it. But that’s just my inner weirdo trying to come out. Imagine going to a fine dining restaurant where everyone speaks in hushed tones and then you take out this sip ‘n swirl straw. I bet you’ll be the talk of the town. Hahaha! What do you say we make a go for it? Doing crazy stuff, within the bounds of the law, of course, can be a stress reliever.
Like all the others, the photo was snagged from the Funny Gifts Online Catalog. :) Is this a paid post? Not!

Crazy Kitchen Gadget: Egg Separator
Some recipes call for separation of the egg whites from the egg yolk. How do you do it? I’ve been accustomed to cracking/breaking the eggshell into two halves and then transferring the egg yolk from one half of the egg shell to the other, all the while letting the egg whites drip into a bowl. I know some would just let the cegg rest on one hand while the egg whites dripped and all that is left in the palm of the hand is the egg yolk. Would this contraption make life easier for you?…
Some might actually like this Peter Petrie egg separator. Personally, I’ll just do it the old-fashioned way.
