Busy Mom On-The-Go Will Appreciate Nissan

Filed under: Wheels


It used to be that minivans were associated with the less-than-cool soccer moms of the nation but today these family haulers have fantastic features. I am especially fond of the self-opening side doors. But the 2008 Nissan Forum takes the luxed-up van to a whole new level. Sure there is are cockpit-style rotating leather chairs in the second row, kid-cam to see in the back row and even an intercom! But this is the real kicker -- a microwave. Now the to-go snacks can be freshly popped popcorn before that soccer game.

LG Electronics Combination Microwaves

Filed under: Decor, Gadgets


The combination microwave/toaster and microwave/coffee maker products from LG Electronics have been making the rounds of the blogs lately starting with Apartment Therapy. These space-saving appliances are just the latest in a long line of space-saving products that combine several kitchen functions into one machine. There's something about these machines that makes me uneasy. While I'm fine with grind and brew coffee makers (I gave my sister one for Christmas) microwaving and toasting just don't seem to be functions that should be in the same machine. These sell for around $150 each. Comments on other blogs from users indicate that you can't use the toaster and the microwave at the same time but that overall the functionality isn't bad.
