I’m not a wine drinker, but I remember the days of boxed wine very well. It seemed like gallery openings in NYC in the late 80s were prime box wine venues. So here we are again, having come full circle.
Part of me thinks its a cool idea, and part of me thinks it’s completely practical (I imagine that the Parmalat-like containers would keep the wine “fresh” longer (through wine is not “fresh” by definition). Another part of me of me is horrified that wine boxes are back - juice boxes for adults? And what about the environmental impact?? I don’t think that packaging is recyclable! No way that’s a good idea.
So I ask you, dear readers: Wine in juice boxes: triumph or travesty?

It sounds like something dirty, but it’s really just a nifty gadget. Have I mentioned that I am a gadget junkie? I don’t make a lot of pies, but I’d almost make one just to try this out. I can’t imagine needing two of these any time except Thanksgiving, but they don’t sell them individually anymore, it seems.
King Arthur has lots of great items, including their signature flours that you can find in grocery stores. I use their flour all of the time (I buy it at Trader Joe’), and I’ve always been pleased with the results.

I found this today in an old issue of Real Simple. Brilliant. Cheap. I may have to try it.
DormBuys has some other great items, both food and non-food related. I’ll be checking out some of their other items.
