Just how clean is that hotel room sink? Studies show that millions of harmful microorganisms as streptococcus, E. coli, and salmonella can be found on the device you put in your mouth twice daily.

The device will start working immediately and will shut off automatically after 7 minutes, leaving a clean, sanitized toothbrush for the next use. Great for hotels, airplanes, health clubs, or anytime you need shiny clean teeth on the go!

Ramekins

Ramekin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A ramekin or ramequin is a small dish, often white in colour, typically preferred for the preparation and serving of various baked recipes. These can be either sweet or savoury, including desserts such as the classic crème brûlée or molten chocolate cake, and savoury dishes such as moimoi, cheese recipes, potted shrimps and soufflé.

The glazed earthenware or stoneware dishes come in a variety of sizes . They are often circular, and generally have fluted sides on the exterior, though it is increasingly common to find other shapes, such as hearts or flower-like patterns. The ramekin can be regarded as a vessel of the casserole variety, and similarly, due to its robust construction, is capable of withstanding the extreme heat of an oven, or, in the case of crème brûlée, the flare of a torch flame.

Small ramekins are used in many restaurants to contain small portions of sauces and dressings for diners to apply to their food.

A ramekin is usually between 2 and 8 ounces in size.

My sis n me want this for a dish we have been dying to make "Chocolate Hot Pots" They just don't come out as awesome if made in cupcake trays. Will need a set of 12 or so.

My Egyptian Grandmother's Kitchen

My Egyptian Grandmother's Kitchen:
Traditional Dishes Sweet and Savory
Magda Mehdawy
Price: LE 150

Book Summary
In this beautifully illustrated volume, Magda Mehdawy has gathered in one book the most complete collection of Egyptian recipes ever assembled. Drawing on the traditional recipes she learned from her grandmother and other members of her generation, Mehdawy offers a surprising range of sumptuous recipes and unusual flavors that are part of Egypt's millennia-long cultural heritage. She also reveals the historical depth of the national cuisine, beginning with a section on food and wine-making techniques used by the ancient Egyptians. For readers interested in more recent traditions, Mehdawy provides lists of typical menus served on Islamic holidays and feasts, and a fascinating overview of traditional beliefs regarding vegetables and spices. While covering regional dishes from all over Egypt, Mehdawy emphasizes the cuisine of her native Mediterranean city of Alexandria, providing a wide selection of seafood dishes, such as baked sardines and shrimp kufta with rice. Grouped by food categories - including Broths and Soups, Stuffed Vegetables, Poultry, Pickles, Jams, and Desserts - the book helpfully lists detailed health information as well as practical advice on shopping for the best-quality ingredients, and where to find them. Even chefs already familiar with Egyptian cuisine will find new dishes here. With copious illustrations in full color throughout, this compendium is a great introduction to the rich flavor and variety of the traditional Egyptian kitchen.
