Pest Xit Duo

I’ve had rats, or mice (or both) in my ceiling all summer. I got so sick of it that I went and bought a Pest Xit Duo. I’ve had it for 2 weeks, and it’s finally starting to have an effect. A few nights ago I heard the rats going crazy, scratching around, squealing, and tearing at the walls – almost as if they couldn’t stand it anymore… and for the last couple of days I’ve heard absolutely nothing. It’s almost like somebody has flicked a switched and just turned off the noise in my ceiling. They’ve gone. It works.

I’ve always really like the size and form of disposable coffee cups, but now there’s something even better! A sexy ceramic cup, that looks just like a paper cup, fits under just about every espresso machine – but without all the waste associated with disposable cups! YAY!

I just bought 50 packets of Nag Champa incense for around half retail price – I won’t need to buy incense for years! It’s also nice to be able to give a packet to friends when they ask what “that lovely incense” is.

The Weber Baby Q looks much like the innovative Weber Q, it has the same unique futuristic design, and it packs the same grilling wallop underneath its durable cast aluminum lid. The Weber Baby Q grill is vastly different than most portable grills – most ordinary portable grills are griddles (a solid, flat, heated surface), but the Weber Q and Baby Q are true grills: they both have a P-shaped burner tube that emits open flames under a porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grate – working together to sear and smoke food to delectable doneness. If you want a high quality BBQ, but don’t have the space for a full size BBQ monster, then the Baby Q is a great choice. It would also be good as a portable BBQ to take on vacation. My cousin has a Weber Baby Q 100 and cooked an impressive (and seemingly effortless) lunch for 6 people last weekend – including making time to clean the grill and cook some vegie burgers for the vegetarians!

I’ve seen some pretty flashy bottle openers in my time, but this is getting crazy. I guess the Oster electric wine opener might be a cool conversation piece at a dinner party, but honestly – I’d much prefer to use a classic Waiter’s Friend.
