BeerTender fresh draft beer – how to change the keg
T-fal BeerTender. “The ultimate at home draught beer experience”.
The BeerTender works with kegs made by Heineken. As of now you can only get Heinken and Heineken Light kegs. (I have tried one keg of each and I prefer Heineken over Heineken Light) Supposedly they are coming out with different beers in the near future. You may see other mini-kegs available, but the difference is that the Heineken DraughtKeg is pressurized.
The BeerTender is really a small fridge that surrounds the keg and keeps the beer at the optimal temperature of 39 degrees. There is an indicator light on the top of the machine that will light up once this temperature has been reached.
Christmas Tree Light Dimmer
I have dimmer switches on just about every light in my house. I really love it. We were setting up some of our many Christmas trees around the house and I knew there had to be dimmer switches for Christmas lights that you could buy at any local mart.
To my surprise there were no such products readily available. I did later on find some online, but who wants to wait? When you can build one yourself cheap and easy!
I found a site that detailed exactly what I wanted to do. I followed their directions to the letter.
You need a basic dimmer switch, probably around $6, a short household extension cord $1.50, and an electrical box, these are about 45 cents. You will also need 2 wire nuts, I already had those, but will only cost you a few cents if you need to buy some.
Basically you want to spice the dimmer between one of the wires on your new extension cord and enclose the wiring inside the box.
Cajun Sunshine Hot Sauce
We were having tacos at our house one night. So I found this bottle of “hot sauce” in our kitchen a while back, do not know where we originally bought it. Put just a few drops on my taco at first, because I was not sure what to expect. Wow, really made that taco zing and it tasted great, was a nice spicy hot, not just a hot-hot, if you know what I mean.

What an awesome toy, the sounds and lights are incredible. The Millennium Falcon can be the center piece of every kids Star Wars toy collection.
Oil-Filled Radiator Heater
The oil filled radiator style heater is the best all around electric style heater.
Quiet Heat and Even Heat
You will be amazed at the radiant heat these can deliver. Give it a few minutes to warm up and you will soon feel it from across a room. Nice quiet and even heat. This type of heater is not the cheapest you will find, nor the most portable, so not the best if you need a portable lightweight heater.
Warm Up Your Favorite Hat
Slip this over your favorite comfy hat to turn it into a warmer favorite comfy hat. You wear your hat everyday, so why give it up when it gets cold outside. Especially for the fall and spring to add just enough warmth, but not too much.
This ear warmer comes in a variety of colors.

Dried Corn
Yes, this is corn. According to the instructions, “To rehydrate, place the dried corn in hot water for 10 minutes.” From another corn drying source: dried corn will keep for a very long time, and is a great way to store corn. You can dry your own corn by spreading it out on a tray in your oven, setting it to warm and waiting a couple days.
A half cup of dried corn will re-hydrate to yield one cup. Dried corn can be used in soups and stews, eaten as a snack, or ground as cornmeal.
