While I'm here, I thought I'd go ahead and share something that might interest you I was surfing Facebook today and I came across a page that is giving out Olive Garden gift cards to the first 20,000 fans

I recently got a Vita-Mix. I have a Bamix. I have a KitchenAid mixer. (I'm getting rid of food processor though...don't need it anymore!)
Despite all those toys, I find that I use my kitchen calculator and kitchen scale the most. They've come in very handy for me since I now weigh my food out while eating on my new meal plan. The kitchen calculator is also great when I'm baking since I'm constantly dividing recipes into 2 or 3.
A few items left on my wishlist are the Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper and some cake decorating stuff.
Now that all the USB 3.0 news, press releases, and product announcements are done, we can start to see some products rolling in to review. What this means is that the new P55 and X58 motherboards out there with USB 3.0 and SATA3 features can finally be put to some good use.
Take the ASUS P7P55D-E Pro Motherboard for example. Its pretty much the paternal twin to the ASUS P7P55D Pro we reviewed a couple months ago. That single E is a powerful little vowel that indicates the platform provides both USB 3.0 and SATA3 support. Aside from these features lets find out if the E stands for anything else.
