Turn Here For Freshly-Made Butter

Paderno World Cuisine Fresh Butter Maker Churn For Home Kitchen

Does your butter have herbs in it? Garlic? Little pieces of sausage? It could. Well, maybe you don’t really want the last one, but customizable butter doesn’t have to be far away.

The Paderno World Cuisine Fresh Butter Maker (with instructions) is a butter churn for home kitchen use. Consisting of a hand crank and a jar, the kitchen tool takes cream from liquid to butter in minutes (along with some elbow grease).

Of course, it doesn’t take one of these things to make flavored or seasoned compound butter, since there is still the matter of shaping it after the whey has been tipped off. But as long as you’re playing with butter, might as well make it fresh. Yum!

Chalkboard Labels Sticker Set Minds Its Manners

Chalkboard Labels Set (6 Sheet Pack) - 48 Reusable Premium Quality Black Decorative Adhesive Stickers in 8 Unique Designs

Stickers are handy little things when it comes to organization. Just write what you are storing on one and stick it on the thing you’re storing it in. But then there is no turning back (only adding additional stickers).

Items in the kitchen lack permanence (thankfully). As we eat our way through the pantry and food cabinet, the jars and storage containers have their contents reduced until the label is staring back at us with empty, cold indifference. Incorrectly as well. How rude.

The Chalkboard Labels Sticker Set looks to politely erase that mistake by allowing actual erasing. Consisting of a variety of styles at an affordable price, the reusable stickers can be written on with chalk over and over again. With 48 stickers in the pack, there are enough to get organized in every room of the house. Maybe teach those plain ol’ traditional stickers some manners as well.

No wonder his throat feels a little raspy. Hope he isn’t coming down with something. Say, like Jedi-itis.

However, if you’re feeling brave, you can try to replicate the Vader Gas Bottle Log Burner by following along with Instructables user doddieszoomer. Just make sure ol’ Darth doesn’t cough on you when finished.

The Watermelon Keg Kit

The Watermelon Keg Kit by Final Touch

Watermelons. It’s not like the big, funny-looking fruit needs any more help to amuse us, but still, it doesn’t hurt to try. Especially if our amusement involves enjoying a tall, cool one.

Fill it with wine, fill it with booze, fill it with soda; The Watermelon Keg Kit plays no favorites. And when the watermelon tap turns into a party-pleasing fun drink dispenser, don’t forget to bust it out again in the fall when everything tastes like pumpkin anyway.

Happy Halloween!

The Pumpkin Tap Kit by KegWorks

You know what to do if your pumpkin survives pumpkin-smashing night, right? Turn it into a pumpkin drink dispenser with The Pumpkin Tap Kit!

Actually, you might want to use a fresh one, considering the tap turns the gourd into a big ol’ drink dispenser. And besides, those jack-o-lantern eyes, nose and mouth kind of make it hard to fill up with liquid.

Happy Halloween!
