Nothing is quite as soothing or as relaxing as a steaming cup of tea! If you are an adamant tea drinker take a look at the Chantal Whistling Teakettle from Williams-Sonoma. 

When water comes to a boil, this teakettle’s Hohner harmonic whistle sounds off with all the resonance of a train whistle. The kettle’s flat base promotes fast heating while the wire-loop handle provides a cool, secure grip.

The teakettle is made of steel, it comes in your choice of colorful enamel finishes. (The stainless-steel version has a brushed finish.) The other colors are: blue, red and platinum.

The smooth enameled interior prevents mineral buildup.

Price $120.00

I need to get this book!! It’s called ScamoRama and it basically breaks down ways to turn the tables on those god awful emails we all get from some desperate widows, or corrupt bankers asking for money and promising to split the big payload in the end.

“Scamorama is a popular website for scambaiting, and its creator, Eve Edelson, has put a lot of thought into the nature of the 419 con and those who seek to disrupt it. In Scamorama (the book), Edelson traces the history of scamming back to the middle ages and forward to the present day, giving practical advice on not getting taken in and scam-proofing your friends and family.”

If you weren’t into casserole making before, I’m sure you are now that you’ve gotten a look at these Le Creuset French Ovens. Actually, you can do a lot more that whip up a tuna surprise in these chic cast iron pots. In addition to baking, they’re good for marinating, broiling, braising, sauteing, and even freezing. I know, they’re magnificent.

Because they’re cast iron, they conduct heat well and cook evenly, which is always a plus, wouldn’t you say? They also work well over low heat–a totally necessary function for supreme sauces and soups. And all Le Creuset ovens have a lifetime warranty.

Really, though, even if they just did an okay job, I’d still love them for they’re looks alone. You know me, I can be shallow when it comes to colorful cookware.

Special Offer: If you click on the blue link to Kitchen’s Universe, you’ll get a special value pack that includes a cast iron cookbook and two rubber spatulas when you spend $199 or more (on Le Creuset items). If you spend $399 or more, you get a 7-piece spatula set.
