Regalo Easy Step Walk Thru Gate Review
We bought the Easy Step Walk Thru baby gate by Regalo to keep dogs out, but its automatic latch system is a pain for grownups with full hands.

I know that using nonstick cookware is considered passe by foodies and home chefs everywhere, but nothing is as easy to use or clean up. I have a set of fully-clad stainless steel cookware that never gets used because it’s such a pain in the ass. Of course, the number one drawback of using nonstick […]
I installed an iSpring 6 filter reverse osmosis home water filter two months ago. With no exaggeration, it’s changed my life. Tags: brita, bunn, coffee, featured, ispring, kitchen, minnesota, strongly recommended, tea, water
Where we live in Minnesota has terrible water. It’s full of junk, tastes nasty, stains our clothes, and causes all sorts of problems with our coffee maker. It was hard for me to drink the water, even after running it through a Brita filter. I would hold my breath a chug a glass of water […]
Back in November I wrote about the Minnesota company Epicurean, who makes cutting boards and utensils out of recycled materials or materials taken from sustainable providers. I really like how durable and easy the cutting boards were, and while I was picking up some as gifts I decided to give their utensils a try. Epicurean […]
I started buying nicer knives since 2004. Every year or two I’d buy another nice knife in the $75 – $150 range. Then I moved to Minnesota, and one of the world’s only Wusthof factory outlets is here.

We have a lot of mid-grade knives in the house by Wusthof and Henckles.

We have a honing steel and I sharpen the knives […]
There are a ton of things to like about cutting boards made by Epicurean. They are a company started by a couple of skateboarders, who decided to use recycled products to make cutting boards. They’re local to me, so I feel good about supporting a local business. Their product is really great and comes in […]
Sometimes the phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is more like a challenge than good advice. Such is my experience with liquid dishwasher soap, of all things. I had used the Cascade Complete liquid detergent for years. It worked fine, I liked the scent, and I could buy big ass bottles of it […]
Earlier in the year I bought a Crowd Cut coupon to sharpen ten knives. If I hustled, I could get a free set of Wusthof kitchen shears. Big deal, I thought. We already had a set of kitchen scissors, and they were heavy and sturdy and manly enough. We also snipped up pieces of used […]
