Gideon Orthopedic Cushion

My brother in law is currently going through some health issues - amongst  them is his prostate - so I was looking for something that would make him more comfortable at home, sitting on the couch, and in the car driving, and at work - and I think I hit the jackpot

https://www.amazon.com/GideonTM-Premium-Orthopedic-Cushion-Wheelchairs/dp/B01IFGTREK/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1484354938&sr=8-1&keywords=Gideon%E2%84%A2+Premium+Orthopedic+Seat+Cushion+for+Office+Chair%2C+Car%2C+Truck%2C+Plane%2C+Wheelchairs%2C+etc.+-+Provides+Relief+for+Lower+Back+Pain%2C+Tailbone%2C+Coccyx%2C+Sciatica%2C+Pelvic+Pain%2C+Prostate%2C+etc.

This is good for people of all weights - I have tried it for about 30 minutes and I am of considerable size.  It was comfortable for me.

The cover is black, the sides of it are gray, a slip resistant fabric is on the bottom so it doesn't slip easily,  it has a built-in handle for easy transport and you are able to take it out, there is a zipper all around it - so in case you need to air it out or make a spot clean you can do that.

I think he is going to enjoy it - and I am grateful that I am able to help him.

DeVine Stainless Steel Bottle Cooler

So I was looking for a unique present for my mother - since she is very hard to shop for - :)  And I came across this

https://www.amazon.com/DeVine-Stainless-Steel-Bottle-Cooler/dp/B01N1STHDS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484352704&sr=8-1&keywords=DeVine+4-in-1+Stainless+Steel+Wine+Bottle+Cooler+Stick+%E2%80%93+Chiller%2C+Aerator%2C+Pourer+and+Wine+Stopper+%282+pack%29

So basically this is a wine chiller - the sticks are made from stainless steel - and have I think considerable weight to them - so you know that it means business.  the tops are made from food safe acrylic and nontoxic silica gel - they kind of remind me of a calla lily - you also get two wine corkscrews made of metal.

Basically, put this in the fridge about 2 hours before you open your wind, open it, pour off a little and stick the stick in - it will keep your wine cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

I have to say that I am very impressed and I think she will be also :)

Sous Vide cooker from Primo Eats

https://www.amazon.com/Immersion-Precision-Digital-Thermostat-Temperature/dp/B01MTV4EQ7/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484182453&sr=8-1&keywords=Immersion+Sous+Vide+Precision+Cooker+with+Digital+LCD+Display%2C+Built+In+Thermostat+%26+Temperature+-+Cooks+Food+Evenly+-+By+Primo+Eats+by+PrimoEats

I was given this as a gift - and I have to say that I love it.

So for those that are slow - and I am the leader of the pact - the Sous Vide Immersion Cooker - is a stick you put in a pot of water, that runs on electricity and you use it to cook food - especially sometimes when your food doesn't cook all at one temperature.

You get the knob that goes on your pot, and the immersion stick along with the directions - Make sure you put the water in the pot - between the parts - marked minimum and maximum.  Then you turn it on - and program the immersion stick to the temperature and time that you need it to be.

Turn it on - and it goes - now get your food ready - I will share the website that I love tomorrow - I can't find the link from here - He gives so many recipes and tips.

It is better if you use a 'food saver type of bag" but you can use Ziploc bags to cook your food.

I am very impressed with my immersion stick from Primo Eats and I know I am going to be using more of it in the future :)
