I love this. Wonder if there are colour options.

Definitely the Christmas cake and Easter buns we "helped" my grandma bake. She baked them with rum/wine, and have us taste the batter it to see if it had enough. Of Course my brother an I would always say no, it needed more. I think she was on to us. But her cakes/buns were delicious. And she made batches and batches of them for family, friends and neighbours. It was an awesome yearly tradition, one I sorely miss.

While I'm sure these are just as grimy as you say, once a month seems a bit much. Especially if you have ANYTHING else going on in your life.

I love this jar. And the size is great. Big enough for a crowd, but on the smaller side so you can do a few different flavors of beverages without them becoming a watered down/hot mess. Will have to find a world market soon.

As someone who likes to mix interesting cocktails at home, and make special ingredients of my own, I can appreciate what goes into a really well made beverage. My upper limit is maybe $25 or so. But it'd be a splurge, special occasion type thing, not a regular occurs ce at all. So far, I haven't been disappointed.

This does sound like an awesome idea, one I'd like to use in a few years when my kids are older. Thanks for this.

Based on some of these comments, as a mommie of twins I can't take them to the FM. There's no way I can wear them both comfortably, and for a weekday market, there'd be no on to leave them home with. Just because it feasible for your situation, that doesn't mean it applies to all of us. Some of us have no choice but to bring our kids in their oversized strollers.

Have you tried refillable pods for the senseo. I've never used them, so I don't know if the crema compares, but it's worth a shot.

As a former senseo owner/lover, I feel your pain. It's a reliable simple system for sure. But I stopped using it when the price of pods went up, and target stopped making an in-house version. I recently moved away from coffee machines all together, and instead use a moka pot. Not as quick as the senseo, but it's reliable, and customizable in terms of the type of coffee you choose to use.

Having tried the Keurig, I can say I'm not inspired to buy one. To me it's not as good as the senseo, though it is just as easy, and has a wider variety of coffees available.

@Alicelost a 2oz cocktail seems like a complete ripoff, unless it costs $3. I doubt that's the direction I'd like to go in when serving guests in my home. Wouldn't want to seem stingy.

This pan is definitely too heavy. I've come across it on several occasions in HomeGoods, and I had to pass. My husband already complains bitterly about cleaning my 6qt Staub, so I know he'd be pissed about cleaning this one. But regardless, it was way too heavy for me to lug in and out of the oven. A bit of overkill if you ask me.
