How to use a French Press

Before getting the Francois et Mimi Vintage Double Wall French Press I had known what one was but husband did not. Let's just say that my husband has a new favorite way of enjoying his Coffee. A coffee he already liked just became super delicious with the French Press.

My husband had no idea how much better his coffee would taste once made in a French Press. Now he is a believer. I had heard once you French Press you never want to go back to regular coffee again. With a little extra time and love you have a delicious and memorable cup of coffee. Even my daughters agreed that the coffee is much better.

You can our how to video below.

Iphone 6 case Armadillo-Fortress Heavy Duty

This is of course for our oldest daughter who actually opened my mail today and said I had to do my review right away so she could put this on her phone today. Which she did as you can see in the pictures below.

The iSeal Iphone 6 case Armadillo-Fortress Heavy Duty is awesome, you can change the color three different ways and have your phone safe and sound. My daughter has the black one on but she also likes the Gold colored back too. The green is nice she says but not a color she would use unless something happened to the other two colors.

This is something I would love to see made available for the iPad mini as well not the belt clip but the rest of it. I really like how my daughters gets three looks from the same case which is always nice as us girls like to change things up often.

You can purchase this iSeal Iphone 6 case Armadillo-Fortress Heavy Duty on Amazon.

Who Sharpens your knives?

My husband has carried several different knives with him for different jobs he has had over his lifetime, and one thing he is always looking for is a better knife sharpener. In our home my husband is also the knife Sharpener because sharps and me do not mix.

My husband likes how the Priority Chef Knife Sharpener has a hand hold that sits flat on the surface making it more safe for your hands and body. Nothing is full proof but he says this is the best one he has owned and seen so far in his time of using knife sharpeners. That says a lot because he does not easily like things that are new, unless he has personally picked the item out.

The Priority Chef Knife Sharpener is as easy and 1 & 2 there is no three.

You can purchase on Amazon.

What Priority Chef has to say about their product.

Not All Knife Sharpeners Are Created Equal! - This Priority Chef knife sharpener is different from the many other knife sharpeners available on the market today. Most sharpeners will create a typical straight 'V' shaped finish. This Priority Chef knife sharpener model PC-KN02 will create a concave shaped finish to your knife, giving an extra sharpness that most other sharpeners can't compete with.

Ergonomically Designed Handle and Non Slip Base - The stylish knife sharpener's handle has been designed to fit comfortably when in use allowing you a good firm grip and has a soft, cushioned non-slip base under that stylish steel base!

Please Note - This knife sharpener is not suitable for serrated or ceramic knives.

2 Stage Knife Sharpening System - Priority Chef's professionally designed advanced knife sharpener has 2 stages that can transform any straight edged knife to a new level of sharpness that almost any professional chef would be proud of. Stage 1 uses Tungsten carbide blades and should only be used for the dullest of blades. Around 3-4 pulls through this section will prepare your knife shape for the the next step. Stage 2 uses 2 ceramic wheels that will give your knife a high quality finish and a razor like edge.
