Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are going to be here before you know it. Whatever you celebrate, I am sure you have a lot to do before the big day or big week.. Decorating, gift shopping, planning the menu for family holiday dinners, and added to this, enough stress for 10 people. I think stress naturally goes with holidays. I was actually thinking of sharing some of my traditional Italian cookies and pastry recipes but…this is not a cooking show, so I will stick with my subjects for your home. If you are remodeling any part of your home, or building a new home, or are in the middle of planning a remodel project, now is not the time to think about this. Just relax. Watch Christmas movies, make ornaments & cookies with your kids and have fun. Several weeks ago I reviewed the walk in tub. I shared my honest opinion on the pros and cons. Today I am reviewing an interesting product for the kitchen. I really like induction cooktops but this one by Invisacook goes a step further. How does it work Pros & Cons Ventilation Cost I hope today’s episode on the pros and cons of a new product.
