Always on the lookout for the best and worst ideas. These popped up tonight.
First two items on the top of the "No way" holiday gift list.
Someone once said "Reality is a hallucination brought on by lack of alcohol." Must have been desperate times in halls of Waring's product development department. I swear, I am NOT making this up:
Pro Electric Martini Shaker.
Serious. It looks like a slim coffee maker and comes with two buttons for, you guessed it, shaken or stirred. The 20 oz stainless steel shaker has a 1 oz cap for measuring. Price: $190.00 It can be had on sale for half that. Better yet: spend $40 on a premium gin and come over to my house. I'll show you how to use one of my shakers and we'll have nibbles and drinks on the counter space not taken up by that ridiculous object.
My gravy is good, but...
Anything from the NYTimes Magazine slideshow "The Get".
I'm sure you're wondering what to put on the perfect $15,300 table? A $9,000 gravy boat, of course. My gravy is really good, but I'd still have th think twice before spending $275 or even $85 for any one of the three pictured.
