Tea Coffin, Anyone?


I am a coffee drinker but in my quest to be healthier I also try to drink tea when I feel like it. Unlike the Japanese who really brew their tea, I believe in saving time by using teabags. I was able to buy the London Brand tea from Rustan's several years ago but my stash has expired---I bought all flavors---so I am now on the lookout for another tea that will catch my fancy.

Drinking tea is just like drinking water because it does not have an erosive effect on your teeth enamel. It has lots of health benefits too including its antioxidant properties which can reduce the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

One of the things I do not like about drinking tea the time-saving way are the teabags. It's so gross to just drink it away with the tea bag still inside the cup isn't it? So where does the tea bags go when they die? Well, if you're not putting them in the refrigerator to serve their purpose for another day then you can always opt for this Tea Coffin which was invented by Jonas Trampedach. Just bury your teabag under the cup and voila! No mess!

Onion Goggles, Anyone?

How many times have you cried while slicing onions? There's a folk belief that a hardworking person who is all-too familair with cooking would be immune to the tears brought about by onions. I don't beleive them. Kitchens are my favorite corner in any house (and not just for eating purposes) but I still cry whenever I slice onions. I probably need these goggles to stop those tears.

For only $18.95, these goggles are a geme speically if you do not want to appear melodramatic everytime you cook your favorite meal.

The goggles prevents stinging or tearing as a result of chopping or mincing onions and even chives. It is the best eye protection any cook an wear at such a reasonable price.

So why buy this one when you can use yoru ordianry lenses at home? Duh! These goggles fit the eye area to a T plus it has a foam sela that vloaks out the irritating vapors from onion. You can even choose your colors as the goggles come in in pink, black or white.
