A Top-Rated Proctor Silex Slow Cooker

I have a large slow cooker, which was suitable for my family. However, my family is shrinking and although my eldest son is still living at home he rarely eats supper with us and his younger brother (the big eater) left for university this fall.

The departure of son number 2 means I know that our large slow cooker is too big and I'm considering this Proctor Silex 33015 1.5 quart slow cooker.  It's a round one and a small one, making it ideal for those days when just my husband and I are eating.   I like the size, the price point of UNDER $20 and the Amazon customer reviews, which I rely on whenever I am researching a purchase.

Coffee From a Bodum A French Press

This weekend, we purchased a Bodum Chambord French Press coffee maker. My husband had fond memories of a tiny French press style coffeemaker he had owned previously and so we picked this Bodum up to try out while we had extra coffee drinkers visiting for the weekend.

Well, it turned out that making French Press coffee is very EASY and the result was a delicious cup of coffee. Our new 3-cup Bodum is definitely a keeper. It made three smallish cups of coffee, which was enough to give each of our house guests a taste, but it will actually be perfect for when we are home alone since I don't drink coffee and it will yield about two generous cups of coffee for my husband.

Bodum is actually a well-made brand of French Press coffee maker. It is one of Starbuck's recommended presses and is widely available in three sizes including 3-cups, 8-cups and 12-cups, so you can pick your press according to how much coffee you want to be able to make at a time.

And, no matter how you make it, here's to a great cuppa coffee!
