What's not to love?

So what kind of cake is that, anyway? It does look delicious.

I'm not upgrading my original iPhone until I'm forced to--I've still got the $20/month data plan.

I use one of the terra cotta things. I resisted it for a long time, but it's pretty cheap and works really well.

I tried it and it left white stuff on my dishes. Then I read the box and it said I might need a rinse agent(?--can't really remember). I decided it was not worth the effort.

I never thought of freezing them, either. Though if I had a dog I'd use them like spossberg.

$25 is pretty different from $2. I'd check into other options. Even Envirosax (about $5 each on sale, in packs) are cheaper.

Wow, another reason to be thankful for the iPhone--many fewer crevices.

I wouldn't be able to trust that I was actually getting it clean, though.

I would definitely use these, and display them.

I have a plastic version of the top one--it's great. I don't eat much tuna, but when I do, that thing gets out much more water than just using the lid, and I don't get much on my hands. I keep it w...
