Hey, did you know Amazon’s next Prime Days are Oct 8-9, 2024?
I got some cool stuff on the last Prime Day that I wanted to share with you. Most of these aren’t book related–they’re things that make life happier/easier/better for me, and I thought others might appreciate these items, too. These are all affliate links–if you click and buy, I make a few cents with no additional cost to you, but feel free to skip that!
But first, coffee. I can’t drink much of it anymore, but I LOVE dark, black coffee. At home, I use an Aeropress and I love it: https://amzn.to/3N6MyZm
It comes with paper filters, but you can get a stainless steel filter that works great from several manufacturers. There are several Aeropress versions, too. I’ve had this one for over 5 years.
It’s a bit bulky for travel, so I just got the pour over coffee filters (on the Team Rubicon mug): https://amzn.to/3Y5say1
They work for cold brew, too! Fill with ground coffee, plop in a mug of water and put in the fridge overnight.
After coffee, I walk my dogs every day. Three miles in the morning, and another 2 in the evening. I put a lot of miles on my socks, and I have a hard time finding socks I like. But I really like these: https://amzn.to/3Nd4EbZ
Comfy, not too thick or thin, good range of colors, and they wick sweat away. They’ve held up so far, but I’ve only had them a few months.
As you know, I live in western Montana. We don’t have air conditioning. Most of the year, we don’t need it, but July/August/September are too hot to turn the oven on. I’ve been looking for a pizza oven, but they’re super expensive. Finally, I found this one: Cuisinart 3-in-1
It may not be up to true “artisan” standards, but I’ve made excellent pizza and flatbread in it. The grill is good too! I haven’t used the griddle yet; I don’t need that much room. The Cuisinart would be awesome for tailgating, and we’ll take it camping next year.
I bought this Feasto Cart to put it on, which works great!
Finally, I’m really happy with this small waffle maker. It’s perfect for two of us, works great, and doesn’t take up much counterspace.
I hope you’ve found something in this list that makes you happy, too!
