This Trio Lasagna Pan is perfect for a family with a picky eater (like ours). Mrs. Picky could get her own strip of Lasagna. Very cool idea.

Boomerang Wok
The Boomerang Wok’s cupped edge is supposed to make it easier to turn your stir-fry ingredients. All you supposedly need is one simple movement with the spatula and voila! I definitely would like to give one of these a try!

zurich – san francisco
San Francisco will be getting a whole lot closer this summer for people living in Switzerland. SWISS will be flying its Airbus A340 nonstop from Zurich to San Francisco six times a week from 2 June 2010. They’re currently running a video karaoke competition “Sing Francisco” for a chance to win a flight to the west coast.

This 8-Bit hanger made me chuckle. Perfect for an interactive studio, no? I am tempted to get one right next to my desk, so I can hang my headphones when not in use!
