The Magic Bullet

The Magic Bullet is one of those “As seen on TV products” that turns out to be something surprising useful and hard to live without. Key recipes I use my Magic Bullet for: mince chicken for my chicken meatballs, pesto sauce for pasta, salsa, and smoothies. It’s easy to clean and I like it better than a large blender for two-person meals.


Starbucks Sorbetto

I tried a sample of Sorbetto two weeks ago at the behest of the woman behind the counter. It was sort of like finding a toy in a box of Rice Krispies: I didn’t need it or even want it, but it was a colorful, diminutive supplement to my usual Starbucks experience. I still need a latte in the morning, though.
