    No ? Wanna to try it? You have to play fast! It is challenging and fun! Dang, you would to buy a lot of trays like this, to play with. But for me, I like to have one of those as ice for water. It will look cool in the glass of Water in a matter of minutes. ;-) You can buy it from here for only $7.99 each.

    The "Seconds” Tents 

    What does the “Seconds” Tent mean ?

    You know when you are going to camp, you have to set up a tent. It takes appox between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on how big it is, or small it is, right?

    Well with “Seconds’ Tent, you can do it in 2-3 seconds. How? How? 2-3 seconds!?!? No way.

    Yeah, it apparently does… that is why it got the name. You will see why it does in less than 3 seconds…

    You can click that image (does it look cool and easy?) above, and it will take you to the site, and you can explore links. It has different sizes. It has TV ads. Also, it has Crash Test. It is a great site.It costs 35 to 50 in pounds currency (UK), depending on sizes. I think it costs like around $50 to $100. Not bad.

    Now I want to buy that tent and go camping and enjoy the nature!

    Nice Bookshelf… 

    It is a beautifully work. I love wood shelves. It is more natural. I like the way it designs. It is simple.

    You know .. it can be folded somehow… maybe not exactly folded, but it can turn to something else… I never thought of it, but it is quite interesting. Please click this image and it will take you to a new window what it looks like after.

    After you look at it, does it sound a bit creepy… I think it does … but it is the idea of being creative. You can put all books in that and move… I wonder what would they think when they see one carrying to the moving truck. They might get the wrong idea…

      Why would you make it into a coffin? If it’s simply for moving purposes, then i think it could be done even better. I am looking for a new bookshelf, so you had me at first

    Suppose if you live in the city, and you want to feel nature… 

    while laying down in your back yard, but there may not be enough grass there.

    You can get one of those by great designers … to feel the great comfort… and soft… and real right behind your backyard or in your balcony, if you have enough room..

    The first one is called Grow Chaise, invented by Emily Pilloton. The link is here.

    Second is called Nomad Grass Lounger, by Matt Gagnon. The link is here.

    Glow Gloves? 

    Do you think it is a cool idea to use this in the club? So you can see anyone signing in sign language clearly in the dark and don’t have to deal with the hassle, such as trying to find a place where it has a lot of lighting to see each other better…

    I think it is cool… but does it get very hot? I wonder how it works? Well, I would love to have one! :-D

    You can go to the site that sells them: http://www.glowcompany.co.uk.

    Gotta to Get this! 

    I want this! I love bookshelves. I am a bookworm. I buy books that I like, and I collect them as well. I would love to have my own library with several bookshelves!

    This one looks cool! And easy. If I don't need it, I simply close them like that, and put under the bed. It looks great! Also it will make the moving easier. However, I don't know how much it costs! I think it is $399.00, according to the site, Scheren-Regal, which I created a translate link that you can read it in English. The orginal site is in German. You can check it out.

    Would You Like to Have This? 

    Whoa! What an odd idea! A fish tank on the toliet! *sigh* Where is the water tank when you flush to fill it up? I don’t know if this is a real invention. But it is cool, anyway. Would I want to have one, nah! Too much work — too much cleaning.

    You can check it out at elseware.to/products/aq.html.

    Silicone Was Once Hot in the Bra, Now… 

    it is hot in the Kitchen!!! That is right! There is Silicone bakeware now. I have seen them at K-Mart store. I have thought about buying them because the metal bakeware does not last long and hard to clean! Moreover, that silicone bakeware seems making it easy to remove cake, cupcake, and many more.

    Boy, the future is here already! It is very exciting to have new and cool products!!! Are you ready for the future? Yeah, I am! I will post more of cool and new products that you may have never seen before!!! Look out for them!

    You can find them in K-mart, Target and other places…

    if you want to buy one, go to:

    Red Silicone 3-pc.
    Bakeware Set at Target

    KitchenAid Silicone
    Bakeware Set at Dillard.com

    Four-piece Reinforced
    Silicone Bakeware Set
    with Wire Racks at Overstock.com

    Speaking of making something on silicone cupcake tin, I just happened saw the cupcake recipe, that I thought I would want to try, in the The Examiner with the title "A nation in cupcake love", in PDF, I thought I would post one, which is a bit bit odd for a cupcake called…

    Sushi Cupcake!

    Recipe:3 cups all-purpose flour
    2 1/2 tsp. Baking powder
    1/2 tsp. Salt
    1 3/4 cups sugar
    1 1/4 cups whole milk
    2 eggs
    1 tsp. Vanilla extract

    Frosting Recipe:

    1 1/2 cups sour cream
    3/4 vanilla extract
    4 1/2 shredded coconut
    3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted

    Decorations:

    9 green fruit roll-up snacks
    Assorted candies (jelly beans, gummy worms, and gummy fish)
    Dried papaya and mango pieces

    1. Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cupcake tins. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together into a medium bowl.

    2. In a separate, larger bowl, cream the butter. Gradually add the sugar, creaming until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, and beat well after each addition. In a small bowl, combine the milk and vanilla.

    3. To the butter mixture, add about 1/4 of the flour mixture and mix well. Add about 1/4 of the milk mixture and mix well. Continue alternating the flour mixture and milk mixture, beating after each addition until smooth.

    4. Pour the batter into the cupcake tins. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched.

    5. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes, then turn the cupcakes out of the tins and on a rack to finish cooling completely.

    6. Frosting: IN a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, vanilla, and coconut. Add the powdered sugar and mix thoroughly.

    7. Using a butter knife, spread the frosting over the tops of cupcakes.

    8. Decorations: Trim the fruit roll-ups to the height of the cupcakes. Wrap one fruit roll around the side of each cupcake.

    9. Arrange the dried papaya and candies on the tops of the cupcakes. Serve the dried mango pieces on the side to resemble ginger. Makes 30.
