Can’t Talk. Eating. Go Football.

Reusable Heavy Duty Plastic Tablecloth (72"x52") with a Football Field Design

There may be a game on the field, but we’re all winners with a spread full of snacks on the table. Especially when there’s a big gaping hole right at the 50-yard line just waiting for the platter of burgers. And more dip! And nachos! And stuffed mushrooms. And little quiches! And sorry. Can’t Talk. Eating.

One Hundred Forty Four Glasses of Booze on the Wall

144 Shot Glass Display Case Holder Cabinet with Mahogany Finish

“11 shelves to hold 144 shot glasses when fully loaded.”

Heh. Yeah, good luck with that.

Considering the discovery of the Atari Shot Glasses, this particular display case starts to make some sense. Then again, if you’re not appreciative of old video game art, I suppose you’ll have to visit 144 different tourist traps stocked with collectible souvenir shot glasses. Either way, the 144 Shot Glass Display Case Holder Cabinet with Mahogany Finish seems as big as an arcade cabinet, and considerably more fragile. Although it does give you an option to use all those quarters you’ve been saving…

A Toast (and a Shot) to Atari

Atari Arcade Pint Glass 4 Pack

Inspired by a recent Nerd Approved post, I felt it necessary to coordinate my drinkware with retro video game art. Most important when updating a drinkware collection is the necessity to acquire glasses for any occasion, from a black tie affair, for which this Atari Black Pint Glass 4 Pack would be appropriate, to everyday use such as the pint glasses in the Atari Arcade Pint Glass 4 Pack would provide. Of course, no evening would be complete without the Atari Shot Glass 6 Pack.

And it should go without saying, coffee in the morning is necessary to wash the shame away. Only one coffee cup in the world would suffice: Atari “You Never Forget Your First” Coffee Mug.

What better way to celebrate Atari than by putting them in a gallery…

Capturing the Cooking Storm (Or at Least Some of the Prep Work)

Oneida 7pc Mandolin Slicing Bowl

Kitchen life is messy. There is good reason, after all, that ‘cooking up a storm’ evolved into an expression. If you prefer to keep your tempest in a teapot, you’re going to need a teapot… or in this case, a bowl.

The Oneida 7pc Mandolin Slicing Bowl comes with four slicing blades and a 1-quart stainless steel bowl. The combination of a mandoline slicer with a bowl makes for a convenient and efficient prep tool. Simply snap the lid over the bowl and slice away. The results are captured in the bowl for easy transport or storage. Currently priced at $19.99, the prepping gadget is one kitchen item that is as affordable as an umbrella–not that you’d need rain gear in the kitchen or anything.

Imaginative Crust Cutters are Nothing to Puzzle Over

Lunch Punch Match & Munch puzzle making crust cutters

Puzzles fire the imagination; food fuels everything else. (Well, food ultimately supplies the fuel for everything, but hey, who’s counting?) To a young mind, food that is shaped like something it is not, can be a spark leading to bigger and better things in life—or maybe they just hate crusts. Either way, the Lunch Punch Match & Munch and Critter Cutters have them covered.
