Holidays with the Family

With the holidays just around the corner all I can think about is the grueling preparations that need to be made. Much to my dismay my house has become the family venue for all of the major Holidays ie, Thanksgiving and Christmas. As much as I love having my family get together in the comfort of my own home, the preparation can be unnerving. Yes the cleaning can be rather tedious especially when you are making sure not to leave anything for the newest additions to our family to stick in their mouths. For me however, the next step is even worse; the food preparation and service. Make no mistake about it, my family is rather glutenous on the holidays which means lots and lots of food and drink.

Waiting for all of the dinner food to cook normally seems to last for eternity. Thus making my family's favorite part of the meal (beside the wine)the "pickies". Whether it be chips and dip, veggies, or cheese you can bet the my family will be wolfing it down until the minute we sit down at the dinner table - enter a necessity to our holiday celebration this Cheese Cutting Mariposa Bamboo Board w/ stored Wine and Cheese Tools This set is perfect for our family being that it combines two of our favorite things. It saves me a lot of stress on the holidays knowing that I already have the appropriate tools for my family's favorite "meal".

For those of you that enjoy your sit down meal more, we also offer many cooking aides to make your time in the kitchen as painless as possible. This Kitchen Meat Thermometer Digital Speed Read Instant Read ,for example, will ensure that your Thanksgiving necessity , the turkey, is cooked just right. Without this product my family has set may turkeys afire (one of the reasons why we have learned to love the pre-meal goodies so much). Along with the burnt turkey my family's Thanksgiving meals have suffered many casualties over the years including lumpy mashed potatoes, watery salad, and bland vegetables. As much as I love my family, none of us were blessed with the ability to cook. Luckily companies like Polder and MIU France have come to our rescue over the past couple of years by making products like this Potato Ricer which has saved my family from swallowing whole potatoes. We offer many products by MIU France and Polder for those of you who like to make your cooking experience a lot easier (or for families like mine make cooking possible).

...cheers to a stress free Thanksgiving and Christmas- well, maybe I wouldn't go that far
