To keep with the cooking theme, the Dinner Spinner app from AllRecipes.com has so many damn fine recipes.

To keep with the app theme, the Imgur app. I can't believe I used to upload pictures using the mobile site for so long.

Tool - Rachet Screwdriver (love those things), laser measuring device

Kitchen Gadget - Good meat thermometer, good knives, good cutting cutting board, vacuum sealer, two stock pots (small and large)

Groom products - Wahl clippers

Electronics - I have alexa stuff... they were gifts. I'd probably switch to google home stuff instead if I was buying.

Appliances - small deep freeze comes in super handy along with an extra fridge in the garage.

Apps - Familywall ( great for shopping lists, keeping up with maintenance schedules, calendar events, etc for the whole family.

I would say IFTTT, but right now it's not syncing my Abode alarm with my Blink cameras.

Eufy robot vacuum and Anova Sous Vide. Any sous vide cooker works for most though. Hell, Instapot makes a sous vide too.

Also, cheap metal collar stays ($10) and these:



80 magnets for $9 on Amazon. For $19 you can have 18+ pairs of magnetic collar stays instead of $40 for 3 pairs of the "power stays".

good knives


I've been buying knives a la carte to build a quality collection for a decent price. Two that I would highly, highly recommend:



Victorinox Fibrox 8" Chef's Knife - $33 on Amazon



Wusthof Gourmet Steak Knives - $105 for set of 6, $140 for 8

Worth every penny. Steaks and other meats legitimately taste more tender when they're cut effortlessly.

I think I’ll definitely get one of those robot vacuums at some point soonish.

Collar stays for point/spread collars to be worn without a tie.



So you don't look like this dweeb.

I love my Neato vacuum cleaner. Also been a fan of TiVo for almost 20 years but with cord cutting and all, they're probably soon to be obsolete.

Another solid one - slow closing toilet seats. The downside is that you'll get used to them and forget to slowly lower them when you're away from home.

My fav right now is the "chef buddy silicone collapsible microwave popcorn popper". It's the bomb. Got it at home Depot

I had a pair of their glasses. Very comfortable and reasonably priced. Good call.

If your a coffee drinker, a programmable coffee maker.
I like waking up and fresh hot coffee is ready. Nothing like the smell of fresh brewed coffee.

I sharpened a Fibrox for someone a while back. I ended up buying one for myself. Good knife.

I used one of these until I lucked into a deal on a very lightly used Tormek. I like the Worksharp, but I can sharpen nearly anything with the Tormek.
