Yay or Nay: The Shrimp Butler...
Hate the job of de-veining shrimp and always forget to ask your fishmonger to do it for you? Here's a Yay or Nay for you to think about - The Shrimp Butler.
Supposedly with a quick motion it de-veins the shrimp for you, leaving you to decide what to do with the shell and tail. I saw this profiled on Fine Living this weekend and my curiosity was piqued.
So, what say you - Yay or Nay?Labels: Fine Living, Gadgets, Yay or Nay

A Bit O' The Irish - Martini Style...
I know many people (including myself) has the standard Guinness or the Irish Coffee idea when it comes to cocktails from the Emerald Isle and we won't talk about the green beer. However, Fine Living debunks the standard Irish cocktail fare and puts forth a few new ones in their "10 Cocktails For The Irish In Everyone" series.
This one I found intriguing - a fabulous Baileys Irish Martini recipe just in time for St. Patty's Day. As a Baileys aficionado from a wee age, this is one that appears to be super simple yet chic.
