my two pairs of boots (one Luchesse, one Justin).
And now several brands (including Ariat) have very cushiony designs that are dramatically more comfortable.

Magic erasers.... have no idea how they work but they are amazing.
Are there specific ones you like or don't like. Seems the last time I saw these in the store, there were a bunch of variations. I got analysis paralysis, and bought none of them!

+1 in iPads. I have had 3 of them so far. (One got aged out, One broke (I dropped it and the glass shattered and damaged the switch), and I am now on iPad mini 2 - I bought Otter Defender case for this so I won't break this one.. It makes the iPad so heavy though so I don't recommend the case.)I agree on the Apple products as I have iPads, the mini, iPhones and an iMac. All excellent products that are worth the price and function beautifully. Also, I will pay a little extra for the heavier proof bourbons. Unfortunately some of my favorite releases from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC) have been priced out of my comfort zone due to the current millennial obsession with bourbon. I can no longer find George T Stagg or William LaRue Weller at my liquor stores and they're also extremely difficult to find in Chicago.
I just use the original. They aren't expensive, so why not start there:

Dollartree sells a spray bottle cleaner called Awesome and it IS awesome for cleaning marks, dirt, etc on walls and counter tops. An acquaintance let me borrow hers when I told her I got a lot of marks on the walls (bike tire marks) and I since bought one myself and use it to clean dirt/food particles/marks on walls and counters. Best $ I've spent IMHO.

Fwiw classic Thermapen on sale through Cyber Monday $69. Classic Super-Fast® Thermapen® Thermometer from ThermoWorks
I just wanted to thank the Instant Pot contributors on this thread.
i have a Pelican case for my iPad Mini 2, and recommend it. It is rather pricey, and a bit annoyingly makes it difficult/impossible to access the volume control; but provides superb protection against physical damage: exactly what I was looking for. I've had it installed for about a year now, and am really pleased.I am now on iPad mini 2 - I bought Otter Defender case for this so I won't break this one.. It makes the iPad so heavy though so I don't recommend the case.
I complained about wear in the heel of my smartwool socks (after a year or two of use), and I was offered a new pair. Unfortunately, Lena had already darned the holes.
When someone asks what I want for a present, I say SmartWool socks, because I like them but can't quite justify the high cost.
So glad to hear people are pressure-cooking! (I am an Emeril pressure cooker owner.) I should probably donate our slow cooker (and the rice cooker) since we don't use either of them anymore. BTW, here is Indian Chicken and Rice recipe from hip pressure cooking - It is incredible - Evidently this is the #1 recipe on hip pressure cooking site. We make this at least once a month at my DH's request.

I have made her pork chop with cabbage recipe too (twice) and it is pretty good, but if you do not like cabbage, well, you won't like it (My DH won't touch it.)
Good to hear - I've never done it with brown basmati rice either, so I wouldn't know how much water to put in for it, but it's good that at least you (out of you and your wife) liked it. I am eating basmati rice pretty much exclusively now after having found out the glycemic load is quite low compared to the rice I was raised eating (short grain). I should try brown basmati rice sometime since it's more nutritious.Just made this last night, but with brown instead of basmati rice. I like it! Wife wasn't a big fan, but admitted she wasn't terribly hungry and the rice didn't come out as well as in the rice cooker. It was the first time I've done rice in the pressure cooker, and I followed the cooker's direction (22 min manual on high pressure). Needed a little bit longer... I just had some leftovers for lunch, and I like!
Have you tried darn tough? I switched from smart wool because they would wear out. The darn tough socks have lasted much longer and have a lifetime warranty....
My Sanyo counter-top microwave oven died yesterday.
The manufacture date on it is 1986 and I'm pretty sure it was the first (and only) microwave I ever bought. I used it quite a bit, so I'd definitely say that was a superior product!
