Alice.com

Finally ordered from Alice.com. The rates are not great at this website, but I love the fact that you can order from their website and set up scheduled reminders for things like aluminum foil or razors. It is a great idea for a busy mom or dad.

Those that have goods they would like to sell can contact the site. Excellent for growing a brand.

The upside is that it has free shipping. The downside is that you have to order six items and if you have a store that delivers in your area, paying for their delivery may even out the costs of ordering from Alice.com.

I will order again.

Update: July 2, 2010- Have ordered since then. I can't help it.I love basics coming to my home and the shipping is free. However, it takes about 7 days for me to receive my items. I am on the west coast and ity looks like they ship fromIllinois.

Bento&co | The Bento Shop | Ojue

Absolutely adorable ways to carry lunch. It is also an excellent way to keep figures in check. I love bento boxes. Organization is key.

The Ojue box has three independent compartments. You can stack them all up, or just use one or two of them, thanks to the adjustable band that holds the compartments together securely. Despite its slimness (only 5.5 cm (2.16") wide), it's big enough for a adult male appetite if you use all three compartments. 

A pair of matching folding chopsticks (half black, half the main color of the box), which can be stored neatly on top of the upper compartment, is included.

Love the cooking school section.
There is something absolutely mesmerizing about seeing the red wine reduction using homemade demi-glace. Way to go Lilikoi & Thyme. My folks looked over my shoulder and asked if I might be making that. Hmmm..
