Panini Press - Oprah’s favorite thing

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Oprah’s Favorite Things episode featured a Breville Panini Press available exclusively at Williams-Sonoma for $99.95

I’ve been wanting a panini press…I think paninis are my new favorite food this year. I have had quite a few of them :)

I did some research and the one I want is available at Amazon for $59.99.

It’s the Breville SG820XL Maxi 2-in-1 Panini Press

It has flat cooking surfaces instead of the ones with grooves. It has great reviews on Amazon.

Now, most people may think that paninis should have those grill marks but I think those are more for visual purposes than practical reasons.

I have a grill pan with those raised ridges and it’s really difficult to clean. The reviewers on Amazon agree with me on this.

I can’t wait to try it!

Excellent deal at Shoebuy.com

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I just saw this excellent deal at shoebuy.com $20 off $50 or more at Shoebuy.com when you pay with PayPal.

I have never paid with Paypal but I will now! Last year, Google checkout had some similar deal which I also used to my advantage.

And at shoebuy.com it’s always free shipping (which I love) and free returns (which I love even more!) ;)

I’ve been wanting to buy an extra pair of Privo shoes but they’re not cheap. If you’ve not heard of Privo shoes, you should definitely try one out. They’re soooo light and so comfortable.

I bought my first pair last year and took it to Europe where I walked for miles. I received the shoe after Christmas and left on New Year’s Day so I barely had time to break them in.

No worries and no blisters!

I used to pack a pair of sneakers when I travel because let’s face it, they are the most comfortable pair of shoes one can have. But they’re bulky and take up space.

But no more, now as long as I have my Privo, I’m happy. Plus since they’re mainly slip-on shoes, you can easily take them off for the airport security check, which you can’t do for the regular sneakers.

If you’re tired of uncomfortable shoes, you must really try these comfortable Privo shoes. They are really perfect for walking, shopping, running around town.

I only wish they made dressier heel shoes coz I really need a comfortable pair!
