Pesto by hand

My boyfriend loves gadgets. He is by far one of the most gadgety people I've ever met. Going to Target with him is a dangerous proposition: he will happily spend an entire afternoon wandering the aisles of the electronics department in a gleeful daze, coming to life only occasionally to pull something off the shelf and announce, "I'm getting this." Grocery shopping is just as hazardous, because every grocery store I've been to with him has a cookware section. If it slices, dices, pulverizes, or serves food in a visually arresting manner, he is drawn inexorably to it like a moth to a ceiling lamp.

And yet, he doesn't own a food processor.

This became an issue one recent Saturday as we prepared to go shopping for dinner ingredients. I wanted pesto. I craved pesto. I was horrified by the thought of buying premade pesto for dinner, when it's so easy and satisfying to make at home. But I'd never made pesto without a food processor before. So I turned to the Internets to see if you could, in fact, make pesto entirely by hand.

Sweetest Stove Ever....

We all know how important stoves are to cooking, right?
Some electric stoves, like the ones in my kitchen in London while studying abroad, take forever to heat up. Some gas stoves make that annoying clicking noise for eons before actually lighting...A stove with poor heat distribution will consistently over or under cook your food, a stove that is inconsistent will ruin your dishes too....
But this stove is absolutely "sick nasty". As KB says, "it's the apple product of stoves!" It lets you put on as many pots as you can, and custom heats each of them perfectly evenly!

Check it out....and then buy me one.
