Calming that Craving

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Do you have a caffeine addiction? Do you reach for that coffee cup every morning or constantly stop by the local Java joint?  What if you could have the indulgence of creating your own fancy caffeine fix at home?  Well, with your own Capresso Espresso/Cappuccino Machine you can. This fancy baby allows you do froth and foam your favorite flavors and even comes with an instructional video that may turn you into a barista before you know it. 

You might could even impress your friends or husband by whipping up them a Caramel Cappaccino with a dollop of cream.  Wouldn’t that be cool?  This is definitely a more affordable option and you can learn to use it quickly and easily. It won’t take up too much space and it will help you to get your daily caffeine fix.  I say that’s a win-win.

We’ve Come a Long Way

Ice Cream

We’ve come a long way with making  home made ice cream and aren’t you glad.  No longer do you have to have someone sit on the ice cream maker while you turn the crank endless numbers of times and keep replenishing the ice and rock salt.  Now you can simple put all the ingredients inside, plug the machine in and walk away until it’s done.

The loudness of the machines are the only drawback to the joy that awaits when you’re able to pull out that thick, rich, sweet and cold ice cream.  Ice cream makers are a fun summer appliance that you may not use all year round but can surely get your monies worth in the hot days of summer.  They come in a variety of sizes and even have multiple functions these days.

Plus, there are tons and tons of recipes out there from traditional home made vanilla ice cream to sorbets and sherbets, so many you’re sure to find one everyone will love.  So, go find your ice cream freezer and crank her, I mean plug her up!
