MeasuPro Programmable Cooking Thermometer #Review #MeasuPro

The MeasuPro Digital Cooking thermometer will imbue you with the utmost confidence to create the perfect dishes. It is designed to make food preparations simple. Peeking into the oven to check the doneness of the food you are cooking or baking is inconvenient and causes the oven temperature to lower drastically.

With the MeasuPro Digital Cooking Thermometer there is no need for that. You can select from the list of pre-programmed meats and choose from the four levels of doneness according to your taste: rare, medium rare, medium, and well done.

The thermometer will beep three different times at three different stages:

1. The first alert is once the temperature gets close to the pre-set temperature,
2. The second alert is once the food reaches the recommended temperature,
3. The last alert is when the food exceeded its recommended temperatures.

Oma found this thermometer to be very user friendly and well designed. You can choose between Fahrenheit and Celsius. I love the fact that this product comes with the batteries it needs so that the unit is ready to go. The temperature presets are USDA recommended.

Oma can’t wait to make her next turkey dinner – the thermometer will definitely come in handy. Now I will no longer have to guess when the meat is cooked to the desired temp; I will just wait until the MeasuPro Digital Cooking thermometer beep.

Tip: The cable wire isn't to exceed the 392°F heat.

Do you want to add a little warms and light to your outdoor patio area or deck? The Brillante Globe String Lights are perfect for setting that special ambiance.

Use a set of BrillanteTM string lights to:

• Decorate your patio, deck or pergola
• Hang at Christmas-time
• Provide pleasant lighting for your wedding reception
• String around an arbor or al fresco cafe dining area
• Create a warm, welcoming indoor environment (living room, bedroom etc)

Oma loves how these lights’ old-fashioned filaments give this 25-light string a quaint vintage look. No one will mistake these for leftover Christmas lights.

Tip: String lights don't always have to be strung. If you do it gently you can pile a string of lights into a basket to create your own "basket of light." A suggestion for this company – add a couple of replacement bulbs in this package.

Family Birthday Fun at the Melting Pot

Amanda's Birthday Dinner at The Melting Pot

The Melting Pot Restaurant in La Jolla, California is a fun place to gather for an unique fine dining experience. They offer multi-course fondue dining, perfect Mom's Birthday celebration with friends and family!

Our waiter, John was pleasant, fun, friendly, attentive, and so very helpful.  Oh did I mention John is in a band!  This restaurant is a bit pricey, but the food was delightful and the fondue experience unique.  

Oma ordered the Yin & Yang Martini. It really was the perfect balance; Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur, Stoli Vanil Vodka and ice cream topped with chocolate shavings!

Our only complaint was that the Melting Pot was not able to accommodate our party of fourteen at the same table.  Sitting at two separate tables muted our celebration a bit.
