Goods and Gadgets



Garlic is spicy, flavorful, savory and healthful. Its aroma can be intoxicating. Garlic is a taste of love wrapped up in a delicate casing. Like any great love it can take some effort to access. Thanks to the twin brother duo and founders of the contemporary kitchenware design firm Joseph Joseph it is a little easier to get to the good stuff. The Joseph Joseph garlic crusher is cool to look at and is super easy to use. I have come to hate the process, product and cleanup of hand sqeezed garlic presses. The rocker has made all that heartache melt away. It's a great tool for prep but it is also great for odor neutralizing. If you gently rub your hands on the rocker while you run it under water, like other stainless steel products, it will reduce the intensity of strong odors. To fill your kitchen with garlic love check out Sur La Table or check out the Joseph Joseph website.

Goods and Gadgets Alert

***WARNING UPDATE***
FYI, these containers are subject to recall. Apparently there was a risk of glass getting into the contents of the bottle. I can't seem to let mine go and am just very delicate when handling mine. Yes it is that serious! I just can't stand the taste of plastic.

Watch out Sigg, there is a new canteen in town. 2009 has ushered in with the rise of the glass water canteen. They are washable, reusable and maintain the flavor integrity of their contents. I found two reasonably priced versions:

Pier 1 Imports ($8.99 each)...looks just like a plastic water bottle. FYI, Neiman Marcus is selling these/something similar for over 10 times this price.













Aquasana (six for $29.99)...clearly inspired by Voss.
