Friday Morning Videos: Refrigerator Organization (simple + cheap!)

Recently we found a stash of videos that talk about techniques for refrigerator organizing. This video features some good organization idea, but it also contains a factual error. At about 1:15 the presenter makes the comment that the back of the top shelf is the coldest spot in the refrigerator. She is only half right. The rear of the refrigerator IS usually cooler. HOWEVER, heat rises so it is the back of the BOTTOM shelf that is the coolest. That said, we hope you like the video and some kitchen organization ideas.

Friday Morning Videos: A Tiny Breakfast

Have you ever heard of Kawaii cooking? It started in Japan and then spread throughout the world, primarily via YouTube videos. The style of cooking is to make tiny reproductions of full sized food, todays examples do that on a functional dollhouse, candle powered, range. I have two videos to share with you today that use the technique. First we have a simple bacon and egg breakfast, then we follow that with the incredibly elaborate Thanksgiving dinner. If you decide to try Kawaii cooking yourself we would love to see what kind of creations you come up with.

Friday Morning Videos: Santa's Helpers

A lot of people like to get in the Christmas spirit by watching the classic stop motion animated special "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer". Did you know, when the series first aired, it only had one sponsor? All the ads were for the same brand. That brand was one we all know and love: GE. These are counter top appliances and not the white goods we love the best. Still, it is fun to watch as GE's appliances were shown off by the animated elves from the special. I hope you enjoy it.
