We recently got a Magellan Roadmate 700 and it's so awesome! It literally works right out of the box and comes pre-loaded with maps of the entire U.S. You just punch in the address you want to go to and it gives you audio and video turn-by-turn instructions to get you there. It's also available in other models -- the 760 has the ability to pronouncing street names, and the 800 can play your music.

One of my new favorite board games is Puerto Rico, a fun game of trading, shipping, and colonization. It is a pure strategy game, so it will truly exercise your brain, and you must make the right choices in order to win. It's a complex game, which makes it hard to learn -- but also so MUCH more fun to play! This game is produced by Rio Grande Games, the makes of another favorite -- Carcassonne

This is the Serasoft(TM) throw by Berkshire that I got from Bed Bath and Beyond. It is without a doubt the most amazingly soft and cuddly blanket I've ever had and I love it so much! It's quite large and feels like soft teddy bear fur. I highly recommend it!

I got a Dyson
vacuum cleaner in November of 2005 and I LOVE it. I was amazed at how
well it worked, especially on dog hair! One trip around the living room
filled the canister with dog hair - so gross, but so neat! It's super
easy to use, also, and the wand and attachments are the easiest I've
ever seen.
The model I purchased is the DC07, and I bought it factory-reconditioned.
It arrived in spotless condition, and I found only one minor scratch
on it. It works great and was definitely worth the cost savings of
getting it reconditioned instead of new!

Nature Valley's Sweet & Salty Nut granola bars (peanut flavor) are
so incredibly yummy that I have eaten one for breakfast almost every
single day since I discovered them a month ago. They are chewy and
as the name suggests - both salty and sweet. They taste similar to
a PayDay candy bar, but are (slightly!) better for you. They also
come in Almond flavor, but I am hooked on the Peanut variety for now! |

One of our favorite condiments is Huy Fong's Sriracha sauce.
Dennis pours this stuff onto just about any asian food, especially
noodles. It's a great addition to anything that needs a little kick.
It's a key ingredient in the recipe below, which is also one of my picks!
Scromp's Famous Peanut Butter Stir-fry Sauce
- 6 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
Stir all ingredients together. Pour over stir-fry during the last
few minutes of cooking.

I just got a set of these awesome bandana dishtowels
from KMart. They are designed by Martha Stewart and not only do they
work well, but they are so fun that I giggle every time I use one.
So cute!
