• Tip of the Day: LED Taper Candles with Remote

    Flameless LED Taper Candles

    This really turned into two tips. The Flameless LED Taper Candles and using their remote to turn off these candles if you find them in a restaurant. John Dvorak has discovered that regular wax candles can get expensive and for the same price, you can get these LED candles, and they don’t need to be replaced. They look cool on the dinner table and you can control them with the handy remote control.

    Get the Flameless LED Taper Candles with Remote on Amazon.

  • Tip of the Day: PeaceAndQuiet.io

    PeaceAndQuiet.io is a fabulous website-based map that shows you where you can find Peace & Quiet. Enter a zip, and it shows you where to avoid liquor stores, Section 8 housing, Boost Mobile Stores, Methadone Clinics, and gunshots. Adam entered Berkeley (near John Dvorak’s location) and then Oakland, and saw it was where he didn’t want to go for peace and quiet.

    This is a fun little website to find out where you probably do or don’t want to go–PeaceAndQuiet.io

  • Tip of the Day: Sumac Seasoning

    Sumac Seasoning

    John Dvorak has a culinary idea for you to consider. Sumac seasoning is a go-to spice to add a special lemon-y flavor, “that’s just delicious!” Dvorak revealed he learned of Sumac from the owner of Ratto’s Deli & Market* in the Old Town area of Oakland, and that it was a secret ingredient in Berkeley’s famed Bongo Burgers. He recommends the Sadaf brand in a shaker jar for adding to your recipes. Dvorak continues to add a teaspoon or so to his burger when he makes burgers. Also great with flank steak! You’ll find a lot of uses for it in your everyday cooking.

    Get Sadaf Sumac seasoning on Amazon.

  • Tip of the Day: Grande Assemblée Crémant de France – Sparkling wine 3-Pack from Costco

    Grande Assemblée Crémant de France

    People love the Costco wine tips, so this week John is sharing a box set called Grande Assemblée Crémant de France. In this pretty teal box are three sparkling Crémant wines for $49.95! John is confident that these Crémants are very good and not the junky sparkling wines he accuses Adam of drinking. Get these at your local Costco.

    BTW, check out Warehouse Runner to check on availability and prices for Costco Warehouse items. Hmm, maybe John should make this site a Tip of the Day?

    If your local Costco doesn’t have this in stock, here’s a selection of Cremant de Limoux wines from Wine.com.

  • Tip of the Day: Westinghouse WPX2300e Electric Pressure Washer

    Westinghouse WPX2300e Electric Pressure Washer

    John’s got a tip from his wife Mimi, the Westinghouse WPX2300e Electric Pressure Washer. John said he’s been told you don’t want or really need a gas powered one which is harder to use and can potentially rip the paint off the surface you’re cleaning. Adam thinks it’s a genius device!

    Get the Westinghouse WPX2300e Electric Pressure Washer on Amazon.

  • Tip of the Day: Tide Stain Remover Pen

    Tide Stain Remover Pen

    Dvorak has a great tip for removing stains from your clothes: Tide Stain Remover Pens. Adam concurred and reports that he’s Mr. Spot so Tina uses the Tide Stain Pen on his clothes. They come in a single or 3-pack from Amazon.

    John shared an additional tip he got from Proctor & Gamble insiders; always get liquid laundry detergent. They can’t properly formulate powder detergents that comply with current environemental standards. However, you can get some Mexican powder detergents that still have the proper level of phosphorus to clean properly.

    Get a single or 3-pack from Amazon.
