Sometimes you get a bad apple



Ok this is my first almost great review that is until this Apple Slicer broke on the 4th apple with the blades breaking through the plastic and causing cuts in my daughter's wrists. Thankfully no stitches needed but there was blood, skin glue, bandages to make everything better.

I am just thankful that this did not cut her millimeters away or we might have been looking at a 911 call. I was so excited to get this and loved that it was apple shaped what I didn't like was that it broke on the 4th apple when it says it is long lasting. Sure maybe we got a dud. I did contact the company and hope they will redesign their product and reissue it but MarksvilleandMe can not give this a good review as it is currently made.

Keliwa Silicone Muffin & Cupcake Baking Pan



I love this silicone cupcake/muffin pan. We use it for eggs, muffins, cupcakes, mine meatloves, appetizers, and individual servings of ice cream for parties.

Easy to use, clean, and store. Baked or frozen items just pop right out.

These are also great for a craft we like to do with our broken crayons which is to make colorful crayons. We fill each well half way with small crayons of different colors and then bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes we let them cool then pop out for gift giving.

Chef's Secret® Non-Stick Aluminum Indoor Stovetop Grill



I was very excited about this product because I knew it would be a good item to have on hand. This can hold about 5 hamburger patties in all, but can be used for fish, veggies, etc. You don't have to worry about smoke or grease as the slits drain all of that away in the ring that you pour water into.

We are currently in a motel and this works great. No fire alarm sounded, not spats of grease, and of course no smoke. I was amazed. This item is none stick easy to use. I let this cool down then take a tissue to soak up the grease and then was with my dishes like normal. Easy clean up and a product that does what it says it will do is a sure Thumbs Up from our family.

The Chef's Secret® Non-Stick Aluminum Indoor Stovetop Grill can be found on Amazon.

Willow And Everett





This is my second best favorite tea kettle for both look, and function. I love that this whistles. I like that it comes with a tea infuser which is great during allergy season as tea is my very best friend during these two times of year. I also like to just use this for heating water for both my husband's french press as well as for my morning cocoa.

We use our tea kettle quite often and have found that some break down quickly while better made tea kettles like this one from Willow and Everett are made to last and give great results each and every time.

The grip and latch are well made and the cover is easy to remove to fill with water for your next use. I keep mine sparkling clean by heating vinegar and water in my kettle till boiling then rinsing out. I am very pleases with this tea kettle and see it being used for years to come.

The Willow And Everett tea kettle can be fond on Amazon.




THE NICEST KETTLE YOU'VE EVER SEEN: You can feel it in the weight of the kettle: this 3 liter/100 ounce stove top kettle is built to last. Made with premium surgical grade stainless steel, Willow & Everett's durable and high quality whistling kettle can withstand rust, corrosion, dents, scratches and more. Its mirror finish is easy to keep clean and shiny and is an attractive addition and conversation starter to your kitchen.

INCLUDES A PREMIUM TEA INFUSER: This stainless steel whistling tea pot includes a premium stainless steel tea strainer, perfect for brewing up a single custom cup of loose leaf tea with your new tea kettle.
HEAT UP YOUR WATER IN NO TIME: Unlike other cheaper, lightweight tea kettles that use just one or two layers, this 3 liter tea kettle is made with FIVE layers of premium grade stainless steel, iron, and aluminum formed into a capsule bottom that heats up quickly and evenly. That means less waiting and a more efficient tea or coffee brewing experience for you!

DESIGNED FOR SAFETY AND COMFORT: This stove top kettle was made with good design and functionality in mind. The handle and spout lever on the teapot are coated in non-slip, soft to the touch silicone that provides comfort, and protects your hand from the heat. The handle is ergonomically designed for optimal comfort and grip and the spring-loaded lever easily opens and closes the spout.

DON'T PUT TOXIC CHEMICALS IN YOUR BODY: The Willow & Everett stove top kettle is 100% teflon and BPA-free and is made strictly of high quality stainless steel, iron and aluminum. Don't take the health risk of buying something you use so frequently that is tainted with hidden chemicals and questionable materials.

The Last Humans




MarksvilleandMe reviews
The Last Humans 
written by 
Dima Zales

Recently I was able to read The Last Humans Trilogy written by Dima Zales. This is a set of science fiction books which takes place in the future where the planet is pretty much destroyed except for a small area where people live with no crime, swearing, illness or even death to worry about. 

The parts are Oasis, Limbo, and Haven. Theo is the main character along with the voice in his head Phobe who he keeps to himself as he already deals with being just a bit different then everyone else. There are the Youths like Theo, the Adults, and the Elderly. You really have to read this fast past book but beware if you do not like to read profanity because it used through out the stories. 

Take a little trip to what this author thinks that that the future could be like here on Earth for a science fiction ride of your life. 

The Last Humans Trilogy can be found on Amazon.
