Joe used to occasionally get suckered into watching infomercials. and then he actually bought stuff. Can you imagine? He still has the abdominizer in his closet behind his laundry basket and hiding behind the long coat. I think it was used twice.
Now to his credit he did buy one wonderful thing. A real honest to god Wok from China, hand hammered and everything. It is the most fabulous cooking item in our kitchen. We have cooked on it for nigh onto 20 something years. The lid has long since disappeared but the wok itself is still going strong.
