Some things just go perfectly together- Wine and cheese, fish and chips, washers and dryers. About that last one – how well-matched are YOUR laundry appliances?

Christmas is next month, I repeat, next month! And if you’re anything like me, you’ve left everything to last minute. The shopping, the cleaning, the cooking! Oh no, so much to do with only moments to spare, if that.

Have you just been invited to a friend's housewarming party and would rather not be the typical party guest that shows up to the door with a $15 bottle of wine (that they may or may not even like) you just quickly picked up on the way? Now, I’m not dissing $15 wines because there is definitely some good-tasting wine for $20 and under, but perhaps you ... Read more

Growing up as a child, I remember we were always freezing things in a deepfreeze located in our garage. At the time I didn’t think much of it, but the older I got, the more it made sense.  As grocery prices rose, sales in the supermarket never looked more appealing.
