Customer Review: For one working with the South Beach Diet, the book is a great bible for "eating out". Keep it in the car before selecting your dining plan.
Mary Mac's Tea Room: 65 Years of Recipes from Atlanta's Favorite Dining Room
by John Ferrell
Amazon Price: $18.47
Customer Review: Just a glance at the cover of MARY MAC'S TEA ROOM makes mouths water, while the 125 recipes culled from the records of this Atlanta landmark restaurant will have you racing to the grocery store then heading for the kitchen. Forget haute cuisine and think down home comfort food, whether it be macaroni and cheese or fried chicken (yes, the secret to this succulent fried chicken is buttermilk).
Many of the recipes are almost identical to those served 65 years ago when Mary Mac's ...
Music for Dining
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This collection is the perfect accompaniment to a fine dining experience. I say "dining," not "eating," purposefully; although it will certainly add a touch of class to your Kraft Dinner, this music is best appreciated when served with an elegant meal. Your date will love it.

American Dining and Entertaining Etiquette; Manners for the Table
Amazon Price: $19.95
Customer Review: I bought this for my little sister. She had no respect for food after having been in boarding school all her life. Its not like she had no table manners. Boarding school kids do a lot of food fighting and apparently, she still hadn't realized that a real world is judgemental. Had to bring her back to the family basics. Eating with style is fashionable. There is no reason not to have fashionable dinning manners. Its a valuable set of rules in life.
Broadwell's Elegant Etiquette for Today's Child
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I purchased two CD's for my two children, who are attending college in Charleston, SC and Dallas,TX. They both watched the quick etiquette course with their dorm mates. It was surprising how many comments I received from their friends. They all loved it! Thank goodness this younger generation has not drifted too far away from their traditional upbringing.
Honeywell HFT114B Oscillating Super-Turbo High-Performance 3-Speed Fan
Amazon Price: $25.00
Customer Review: I bought this fan for a small table going inside my dorm room. It works very well and oscillating feature is a nice touch. This fan really does have turbo force blowing for a fan of this size but it does come with some extra noise but nothing really to complain about. I still consider it rather quiet for a fan that blows this hard.
I would recommend this fan to others wanting a good table top fan with good blowing power.
Sharp R-305KS 1-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt Microwave Oven, Stainless
Amazon Price: $89.00
Customer Review: I have always bought sharp microwaves which have been reliable.
This one is not. After 4 months of use, it stops working. It doesn't shut off the power strip. It just stops after less than a minute of being on. It started gradually and now is consistent.
In addition, it sounds tinny when I close the door.
Very bad.

Lavazza Super Crema Espresso Whole Bean Coffee, 2.2-Pound Bag
Amazon Price: $19.09
Customer Review: been drinking Lavazza for over 20 years and travelled to many other cities in the world and had their coffee....nothing compares. It's not widely available in American supermarkets though...so I was very happy when Amazon started carrying it, for a good price too.
Smooth tasting coffee, not bitter or overly roasted like some other big branded coffee here in the US. Get some today...
Earthmate EP2352AK 23-Watt Super Mini-Spiral CFL 2700K Bulb, 6 Pack

Customer Review: Very bright light similar to an incandescent, small & compact size for the light output it provides. Too bright for my living room but perfect for overhead fixtures where you need a lot of light (kitchen/bathroom). Recommended!
SUBWAY Gift Card
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I purchased this card as a birthday gift. The recipient tried to use the card in a Subway store, but was told it had to be activated first -- quite embarrassing for him and for me. But neither he nor I had received an activation code. In fact, he said the card arrived with a message that it was "ACTIVE" in bold lettering.
After contacting GiftCardMall and speaking with someone who had limited English comprehension, he was told he would have to get the activation code from me. I ca...

Hamilton Beach 51101B Single-Serve Blender with Travel Lid, Black
Amazon Price: $15.88
Customer Review: Very Nice item. Better quality. Blades at narrower end. Me ... cleanomaniac... can't clean enough... hand doesn't reach the bottom ... brush I don't trust... water-spinning doesn't clean it... Ease of cleaning - MB wins. MB + Stoneware cup or MB+disposable cup => less efforts than this one.

Foogo by Thermos Leak-Proof SS 7 oz Sippy Cup with Handle in Blue
Amazon Price: $11.54
Customer Review: As others have stated, this cup definitely has some pluses: it's stainless steel; it's insulated; etc.
But none of these pluses will matter because you will go NUTS dealing with the parts breakdown.
There are FIVE component pieces to this cup:
1. The hard blue cap, which screws down to the main body and has a hole in it for the yellow spout/handle/seal.
2. The aforementioned spout/handle/seal--it's a single piece covered by the hard blue cap.

Thermos Foogo Phases Leak Proof Stainless Steel Straw Bottle, 10 Ounce, Blue/...
Amazon Price: $14.99
Customer Review: We have the plastic clear ones for water and got this for milk. I like this design better than a lot of straw sippy cups b/c the straw does not "flip out" and spray you when you open it. This cup is reasonably well insulated -- we put milk in it in the morning, and our son will drink it at church/Sunday school. It seems to stay pretty cold. It also has survived a number of drops without cracking, which I've observed is a problem with some of these "poppy" cups (as my son calls them). I thin...

Remington WPG-250 Trim and Shape 5-in-1 Precision Grooming Kit for Women
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: The worst thing about this product is that you have to charge it for hours just to get it to work a few minutes. They could have at least made it so that it would work when it was plugged in, like most other electric products. This will only work if it's fully charged, which takes forever.
I used to have one of those trimmers that cost about $10 at Walgreens, it ran on one AA battery.....I think I'm going back to that.
Save yourself the aggravation and stay away from t...

Contigo Double-Wall Stainless-Steel Vacuum-Insulated Tumbler, Blue
Amazon Price: $19.35
Customer Review: Really like this insulated travel mug as it is so easy to use in the car while I drive. Don't have to worry about spilling and it keeps my coffee hot and my ice coffee cold. Have several of these so there is always a clean one available.
Contigo Double-Wall Stainless-Steel Vacuum-Insulated Travel Mug
Amazon Price: $19.19
Customer Review: i read a lot of reviews and waited months before ordering my Contigo. i was most worried about reviews describing some weird black moldy-looking bits in the lid and thought it was a little pricey for a mug. i've been using it for at least a month now. the first thing i did was accidentally drop it and there's no dent. i fill it each morning, toss it in my bag and hop on my bike and have never had a drop leak out. it keeps hots very hot (i need to let coffee cool before i can drink it) and i...

Oregon Scientific AW131 Grill Right Wireless Talking Oven/Barbeque Thermometer
Amazon Price: $37.29
Customer Review: My first experience with this thermometer was not great. Could not get it to work at all, despite trying all sorts of resets, battery replacements, button pushing and chants to the Higher Powers of Consumer Electronics. The LED on the transmitter unit would not light up, and thus would not communicate with the base unit.
But Amazon came through very well - returned it, and they sent me a new one. No hassle whatsoever. Two thumbs up to the Amazon folks!

Coleman Speckled Enamelware Dining Kit
Amazon Price: $38.54
Customer Review: I purchased this, but for half the price from Walmart. It's a great value.....especially when you look at the silverware. On many sites, this item alone is $10. We've used them a lot while camping. We exchanged the first set I purchased because the enamel was defective on one of the mugs when we opened the box. We went through the entire second set before exchanging the first to make sure there were no issues.
Victorinox 47570 Cutlery 6-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle
Amazon Price: $18.79
Customer Review: Love this little knife. Been using it since January, when I bought it here on Amazon.
In fact, I'd have to say, it's my fave kitchen knife to use daily. It feels nice in the hand, not heavy (I have a Wusthof that is beautifully feeling, but heavy, and nowhere near as sharp as this little modest baby). Easy to clean. Small enough not to be a pain in small kitchens with tiny counters (like mine).
I have three other Victorinox Fibrox knives, including the larger Chef Knife...

Step 2 LifeStyle Dining Room Pots & Pans
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I should have read the other reviews first. This is a very durable product, but the holes at the bottom were a surprise to me. I wanted them for my kids to play with outside, so it's just not as practical when the cups don't hold water. Kind of strange, but I'll definitely keep them. The pots & pans are sturdy & I like everything else about these.

Customer Review: Dear amazon.com: Please do not offer these Marjabelle Stewart videos for sale to any of your customers again. They are truly useless products.They are ridiculously uninformative. I would rather have saved the time in not watching the first one at all--yet I kept watching, searching for semblance of meaning in the thing. I had no such luck.
