Epicurean Kitchen Series Utensil Review

Epicurean Kitchen Series Utensil Review

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.

Cleaning and Disinfecting Vintage Razors with Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner by SC Johnson

However, this hardly happens, especially if you have multiple devices in your house from multiple manufacturers. On my [...]

Quarriors Dice Game Review

I mostly play either cooperative games or slightly competitive games. Yes, we have a few dickpunch games like Risk, China Town, Small World, Monopoly, etc but by and large we like to keep it friendly. I’ve seen too many people get bent out of shape over a board game to enjoy it any more. We [...]

The vast majority of my computer or video gaming time is spent playing StarCraft 2. These days I only play with my partner wurmr, and our schedules don’t always sync up.
