a tasty morsel

The countdown is to my favorite holiday is on. Just 99 short days until March Madness begins! Until then, let’s talk about my 2nd favorite holiday… Christmas.

As you know, Christmas isn’t about the gifts. It’s about family, friends and most of all - the celebration of when God came in flesh with the gift of salvation. But since you can’t put those under the tree (unless your friends or family have dwarfism), there’s a chance that you’ll be giving a gift or two. And because nobody likes getting crappy gifts (and unless you live in Antarctica or weigh enough to have your own special on Discovery Health, there really is only so much lotion you could ever need), let me give you five tasty morsel recommendations for those on your list.

Simplehuman motion-sensor refillable soap dispenser $36.99

This dispenser is great in the kitchen, especially if you’re dealing with messy food and uncooked poultry. Another plus is that you feel magic every time you wash your hands.

Collapsable Colander $23.95

Colanders take up way too much space in the cabinets… unless they collapse. It’s very handy (or at least Brandon says it is) and it’s fun and compact.

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers $9.86

I’m not a huge reader, so if I recommend a book, you know that I really like it. Such is the case with this one. It’s not for everyone, but if you have a medical curiosity and can handle the past tense of the subjects, you’ll find this to be a stellar read. Roach’s knowledge and wit on the roles that cadavers have and do play is fabulous. A must read… this side of the daisies.

Fraggle Rock on DVD $26.99 for the complete first season

Because who doesn’t like to dance their cares away?! Perfect for those of us that like to remember our childhood or for an actual child… not nearly as annoying as The Wiggles.

Ray LaMontagne - Trouble c.d. $8.99

Great c.d. for sipping coffee or your drink of choice. Plus, listening to it gives you the false sense of coolness that we’re all searching for. I need it since I’m one of the few people in my generation that still buys c.d.s. It should be noted that this music also comes in cooler, downloadable forms.
