Fresh Baked Bread - Who Doesn't Love It?

OK, today is MY turn to offer up a house gadget that I use all the time!

My Breadman bread maker! Yeah, my whole family loves fresh baked bread and since I have 3 grown sons who are unfulfillable, yes, I've made lots of bread in my day! I remember when they were in secondary school and they'd hop off the bus, come in through the front door like mini whirlwinds and go straight to the kitchen because they were STARVED! (their words, promise!)

It got to the point where I'd have some fresh bread waiting for them with either a tub of butter or the bottle of olive oil and some cracked pepper already sliced on the counter waiting for them. Usually, I had some apples or oranges right next to the bread, also.

And that was just their SNACK until it was time for dinner (we're only talking 2 hours away!)! Yep, so you know I love my Breadman Pro Bread Maker!

So here's the link to see if a Breadman Bread Maker would benefit your household!

Place a post if you have any questions or if you'd like one of the recipes I use all the time (I have MANY).

Enjoy, Folks!

DeWalt Table Saw - For Those Around The House Projects!

My husband is demanding equal time on this blog for HIS gadgets, so I figured I'd pacify him and make this post his. :)

Like most wives, I usually have a "honey do" list floating in the back of my mind. (am I right here, Ladies?) You know, the toilet bowl keeps running (this job can't be put on hold, it has to be done right off!), one of the kitchen chairs develops a wobble, and, of course, new furniture!

I'm an avid reader and love books. Unless it's a book that just couldn't keep my interest or had an awful ending (I hate those!), books do NOT leave my house! I keep them all!

After a bit of time, however, this habit of mine turns into an itty bitty problem. . . I'm always needed more bookshelves! Yep, my living room has 2 complete walls that are side by side bookshelves and they are all full! And that's just in the living room! I have more books in the guest room, of course I have some in our bedroom, and I have boxes of books in the garage! Yeah, I have a serious problem with books!

So my "honey do" list always has another bookshelf lurking in the background. I always need more!

One of the first investments we had to make when my husband starting making me bookshelves was a table saw. Now my husband has good taste, so only a DeWalt would do for him (of course, right?)

So the gadget that I'm featuring on this post is the DEWALT DW745 Heavy Duty 10-inch Compact Job Site Table Saw with 16-inch Max Rip Capacity

It's a great quality, heavy duty table saw that will make quick work of everything from bevel cuts in hard woods to resizing sheet materials. Bevel applications are easy to tackle with the ability to adjust the blade from 0 to 45 degrees, while the included 24T carbide blade provides improved cut quality and offers an extended life to save you money.

So, if YOU have a "honey do" list in mind (or you are the one who has to complete the honey do list!), check out this DeWalt Table Saw and get cracking on all of those wood projects you've got in mind.

Hey, just as an aside, don't forget that these get pretty loud! Protect your ears by using Noise Reduction Headphones and Safety Googles. Safety first, everyone!

Enjoy!

Welcome to House Gadgets!

I happen to LOVE house gadgets!

My kitchen, especially, is filled with them! You know, all those little appliances and "do-dads" that make it easier to do something or maybe it saves you time, but in the long run, we all have some.

My husband has gadgets galore in the garage to help him do things faster or better. He has mechanical, electronic, and who knows what else "gadgets" that he HAS TO HAVE or he can't get work done (at least, that's what I was told so that we HAD to go shopping for the thing)!

So, welcome to House Gadgets, where you never know what I'm going to recommend to you from one day to the other. . .

I'll try to find you some cool stuff and give you examples of WHY you should have them and hopefully be able to give you some good tips on how to use them even better.

Let's go exploring!
