Rachael Ray Knows Her Way Around a Kitchen!

Who pops into your head when someone mentions the Food Network? I’ll bet Rachael Ray is in your top 3 that you think of! She’s everywhere!

Most people might recognize Rachael Ray as a celebrity chef on the Food Network. She was born on August 25, 1968 in New York, and has been around restaurants all of her life, thanks to her mom who was a restaurant manager when Rachel was young. She is also an author as well as hosting the syndicated daily talk and lifestyle program Rachael Ray, and three Food Network series: 30 Minute Meals, Rachael Ray’s Tasty Travels, and $40 a Day.

One of the most interesting things that I found out about Rachael Ray is that in 2007, The Oxford American College Dictionary announced the addition of the term EVOO, short for extra-virgin olive oil, which Ray had helped to popularize, and credited her with coining the phrase. This phrase started on her television programs, she has used catchphrases such as “E-V-O-O” (extra-virgin olive oil) as well as a few others that haven’t caught on quite as much such as “stoup” (cross between a soup and stew), and “choup” (thicker than a soup but thinner than a chowder).

Why am I telling you all about Rachael Ray? Well, if you like her products then you should see what DealDash has for you! DealDash offers many of her high quality products such as Stoneware Oil and Vinegar Bottles, 3.5-quart stoneware covered rectangular casserole dish, and my personal favorite, the Hard Enamel 10pc Cookware set in 2-tone red. I got this cookware set from DealDash right around the time that I was moving, and it was one of the very first things that I unpacked when I moved in. This set includes: 1 Qt. Covered Saucepan, 2 Qt. Covered Saucepan, 6 Qt. Covered Stockpot, 3 Qt. Covered Saute, 8.5″ Skillet, and 10″ Skillet. All of these items have a nonstick interior. The nonstick interior allows food to slide off and makes cleanup quick and easy. All of them also have soft grippy handles. The rubberized dual-riveted handles are comfortable and oven safe to 350°F. The lids are made of tempered glass – Watch your foods cook without having to remove the lid to keep moisture locked in. Here is a picture of me with my Rachael Ray cookware set!

Head on over to DealDash and check out the upcoming Rachael Ray product auctions. One of my favorite things about the Rachael Ray products is that they come in so many different colors – purple, orange, and red to name a few. If you see one you are interested in, go ahead and hit the blue “Alert Me” button and DealDash will send you a quick email when one becomes available. Good luck and happy bidding everyone, set your Bid Buddies and go out and enjoy the beautiful weather!

HAPPY 4th of JULY from DealDash & Coleman

What activities do you think about when you think about the 4th of July? Grilling? Camping? All things outdoors?

Coleman has products for the whole family to enjoy the 4th of July together. Let’s start with grills! Do you ever travel to a relative’s house for the 4th of July only to find out that they don’t have a grill? Well, not to worry! Coleman makes an awesome portable grill that you can travel with. Be it to the relatives, tailgating, or camping, the Coleman Roadtrip LXX Grill is what you need for grilling on the go.

Speaking of camping, do you ever go camping on 4th of July weekend? One of my closest friends is going camping up in New Hampshire for the long weekend, and I told her about an awesome Coleman product that she HAS to pick up before she goes — The Grilltop Camping Coffeemaker! The camping coffeemaker is one of the best camping “luxuries” that I can think of, camping coffeemaker the brews drip coffee just like you have at home, and it’s compatible with two- and three-burner camp stoves. You can also use the camping coffeemaker as a warmer for hot cocoa, hot cider or instant soup. The solid steel base can be placed atop a burner for delicious drip coffee without grinds, spills or messes. The Coleman Coffeemaker’s removable, swing-out filter basket lets you change out coffee flavor or customize coffee strength, just like you would at home.

If you’re going to be camping make sure you pick up some essential gear – Coleman has a great selection of sleeping bags, coolers, lanterns, and more! Make sure that you are getting the best items that you can easily afford, being comfortable out in the wild is priceless!

Camping isn’t everyone’s idea of a fun 4th of July, of course. If your idea of fun centers more around home than the wilderness then you could give the Coleman Back Home 12’x10′ Instant Screened Canopy a try. It’s a great portable shelter that is very easy to set up and takes less than three minutes to assemble. It’s great for an afternoon at the lake, tailgating at the football game, or even just in your backyard at home. Worried about eating your 4th of July hot dogs and burgers amidst the bees and bugs? The Coleman Canopy comes with an accessory screen that protects you from insects and dust – now pass the burgers over!

If you’re ready to have a great 4th of July celebration at home or at a campsite, head on over to DealDash. There are great Coleman auctions starting soon. Be sure that you have enough bids in your account to stack your Bid Buddy up to the Buy It Now (BIN) price. Just remember, if you don’t win the auction you can always BIN the item and get all of your bids back instantly. Good luck and happy bidding everyone.

What Time is it? Check Your NOOKA

Are you young and hip? Do you like luxury brands but think that a Rolex is better suited for your Dad? Check out NOOKA!

NOOKA is a relatively new company, it was founded in December 2005 in New York City, however NOOKA has offices worldwide including Japan and Europe. NOOKA was founded by designer Matthew Waldman, they mostly design and produce watches that are primarily focused on the intersection of design and technology. With NOOKA you don’t need to know how to tell time like on an old school watch, they display readouts of bars, lines and dots representing a visual progression of time instead of using the hour and minute hands.

NOOKA’s first time pieces ever designed and successfully manufactured were the Zoo and Zot series of timepieces. They were such a success that in 2010, the Zoo series and Zot series were inducted into the JIDA (Japan Industrial Designers’ Association) Design Museum as part of the Vol. 12 Selection. NOOKA doesn’t just make watches, though, they also make sunglasses, bags, belts, figurines, wallets, and they are working on many other projects that haven’t even been reveled yet.

NOOKA has been featured in many publications. Just last month, NOOKA’s watch called the NOOKRONO was featured in June’s Issue of GQ, and NOOKA was also called “One of the best digital watch brands out there” by Highsnobiety.

Unfortunately for me, my very favorite NOOKA design is the Zot V-Series Galaxy watch – it has been discontinued for a long time, and they are pretty much impossible to find. It’s truly a work of beauty, with a galaxy inspired pattern all over the face and strap. Bring it back, NOOKA! Please!

You too can own an awesome NOOKA watch! There are different models, types, and colors on DealDash, book your Bid Buddy, and sit back and enjoy the watching and bidding in the auction. However, also remember, if you have bid up the auction to the point of retail price you should go ahead and hit the “Buy It Now” (BIN) button, because when you BIN the item for the retail price you get every single one of your bids back, immediately. You can then use the bids all over again to try and win another auction. Good luck and Happy Bidding, everyone!
