It is what

it says.

Documentaries up the wazoo.

Be careful, once you enter you may not want to leave.

Fair warning.

World's most technical skewer — "No more runaway kabobs"

Finally.

From the website:

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

No more cramming and crowding pieces onto a wooden skewer and then having it roll around on the grill.

The long handle make the skewer easy to turn and keeps your hands away from the heat of the fire.

With 9 separate prongs, this stainless steel skewer is easy to load — and unload.

If the shrimp is done before the zucchini, no problem — just remove it.

Lays flat on the grill.

19.5" long.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Two for $20.

Edible Glass — How do you yell "par-táy?"

Notice anything different about the glasses above?

Biodegradeable drinking glasses made entirely from agar agar (a gelatinous substance made from red algae) in three flavors and colors:

Lemon-Basil/Yellow, Ginger-Mint/Green, and Rosemary-Beet/Red.

The glasses are meant to be thrown in the grass after use, as the agar agar base actually nourishes plants.

The concept and design won the Runner-Up Award for Structural/Sculptural Integrity in the GSS Jell-O Mold Competition.
