Six years ago when I was pregnant with my son, waiting to have a homebirth for a week while dealing with intermittent horrendous contractions (he weighed 11 lbs and had a huge head — it took that week to mold it), we discovered the world of viewing cable TV series via DVD.

This will be a busy week for everyone. Some of us have lots of cooking to do to prepare the perfect holiday meal. Others will be traveling to visit family. Some of us will be waking up early to brave the crowds for Black Friday shopping.
In light of the season, everyone should take a moment to remember what they are [...]

Do you have a food lover on your gift list (or, a foodie, if you prefer)? This is a cool gift for anyone who appreciates fine food, and especially loves cooking.
