As you probably can tell by now my kitchen is my home and silicone is one of my favorite baking materials to use. I love silicone pans because they are suitable for the oven, microwave, freezer, fridge and dishwasher making it a lot more durable and not to mention flexible than plain old baking pans. The Hamilton Beach Silicone 12 cup Mini Muffin Pan is one of my top picks for bakers who love to make bitesized baked goods or even quiches. The main reason I prefer making

bitesized baked goods is simplicity, in a world of oversized food and obesity there is something to be said for small portions health wise as well as looks wise. This pan is also perfect for parties that require hors d’ouevres such as tarts and quiches, they look elegant as well as allowing guests to snack without over filling themselves before dinner. This pan is non-stick because of the silicone and is safe up to 500 degrees, this pan also comes with a 15 year warranty and measures 10" x 7" x .5".
Silicone bakeware is easily found in any local store or megastore; however, as with most of my baked goods I picked mine up from Kitchen Collection because their prices are amazing especially when you are picking up more than one item in a shopping session. |

LOL Catz make me laugh, there is no doubt about it but most of all I love the lolrus or the LOL walrus who is constantly looking for, protecting or otherwise interacting with his bukkit (bucket). I came across this T-shirt the other day while surfing Think Geek and I just had to pick it up simply because it’s cute and really well designed…okay and because it has the lolrus on it. The shirt only comes in sky blue in sizes S - XXL with the XXL running at $1 more per shirt ($15.99.) Another reason

I loved this shirt is because unlike most of those high priced t-shirt stores Think Geek only charges $14.99 for this shirt! It’s absolutely ideal for any LOL Catz fan! This t-shirt features a crest with a walrus on either side and the motto "Habeo Bukkit" on the banner at the bottom of the crest. The t-shirt is made of 100% cotton.
Think Geek has some great t-shirts and is a wonderful place to shop for those hard to find gifts for people who tell you "I don’t know" when you ask what they want for Christmas or birthdays. Think Geek’s shirts are reasonably priced unlike most of these t-shirt stores lately that think charging $25+ for a t-shirt is okay, meaning you can pick up a couple of shirts for your money! |

People used to tell me all the time that I should give the Gentle Leader a try on my black labrador and I insisted that it was an unhealthy way to lead my dog on walks. It wasn’t until one day when I was near dragged across the street by my over social labrador that I decided that I needed to give the gentle leader a try, after all it’s modeled on the same technique used for leading horses and if you can lead something that huge with that technique then it surely had to work on a dog.

My dog isn’t a dog that misbehaves, he has been trained to listen; however he is no Caesar Milan dog either and he gets excited to meet other dogs and this causes him to pull like crazy, we tried choke chains which he ignored, prong collars which he ignored and harnesses which did nothing but after trying the gentle leader I wonder why we waited so long to give it a try. Although we get funny looks from people who either think it’s a torture device or else a muzzle and my dog is a danger to the neighborhood, it is the most effective walking leash system I have ever tried, and believe me, i’ve tried them all! The Gentle Leader is carried in most pet stores; however, I get most of my pet supplies from Dog.com being that they are much cheaper and of the same quality as the stuff I get locally. If you don’t like to order online just take a look at your local pet supermart and you’ll find the Gentle Leader head collar system there too! |

I have a habit of collecting nic nacs as well as snowglobes which leaves me with a constant need for more shelf space but floor standing shelving units tend to take up way too much room and after one or two of them the room will begin to look extremely overcrowded with the addition of anymore.

I purchased my units in black to match almost everything else in the house as well as to give a modern feel but these units are also available in natural, walnut, white, dark cherry, chocolate, honey, mahogany and unfinished as well as the black
