Demeter Fragrance Library Home Atmosphere Room Spray Classic Label Review

....lately the products have been hit or miss.
I recently tried Sticky Toffee Pudding in the 4 oz room spray and it's definitely become my favorite -- I can't get enough of it! On the other hand, my mother loves the Waffle Cone and I ordered her 2 bottles from the Demeter website ($14 each, plus flat rate shipping) and they came smelling nothing like the waffle cone she loves. It almost smells rancid like whiskey. There's no problem with exchanges -- that's what their website says anyway. I don't know if it's the room spray version that is bad or if they reformulated, but I'm going to send it back and pay the extra for the cologne version.
As for other scents I've tried:
Sugar Cookie - Very very sweet. A little too sweet for me.
Brownie - An artificial chocolate smell, but not offensive. Doesn't last very long.
Graham Cracker - Hard to find the scent in the sea of alcohol in the product.
Waffle - Very maple syrup-y.
Strawberry Ice Cream - Very artificial owerpowering scent. Almost like a very concentrated strawberry Quik. (Strawberry milk powder brand.)
Scottish Shortbread - There is some sort of oil in the mixture and when it arrived it was nearly frozen. I didn't care for this smell either. sort of an almond cookie smell but also masked by the alcohol smell.
Mojito - Ick. My mom received this as a promo item somewhere and it smells like a hospital to me! I'm not sure which component of Mojito smell is doing that to it, but I'd pass.
There's a Jelly Belly line scent that has something to do with blackberries. It was a pretty harsh scent. Not light and airy -- very contrived and strong. Over the top but not in a good way. Same goes for the Blueberry Muffin in the Jelly Belly line.
Vanilla Cake Batter - Not very exciting. Very vanilla, not very cakey.
I reviewed the Rubber and Mesquite scents on Amazon somewhere -- pass on those.
Before you invest the money, go to the Demeter site and get the $5 1/2 oz splash version of the scent you like. Or just get the Sticky Toffee Pudding. ;)

Aroma AEW-306 5-Quart Electric Wok Review

Aroma AEW-306 5-Quart Electric Wok

First let me say that I normally do not cook, not only do I hate cooking but I am not good at it(I somehow mess up oatmeal)...However, this Wok heats so fast, nothing sticks and even I can make VERY TASTY food in this Wok.
My first meal was fried rice and it turned out so good, better than most Chinese Restaurants. I was surprised at how fast the Wok heated(maybe a minute) I first cooked my chicken, what a breeze that was in this Wok. Then I added all ingredients according to my recipe(found online) and in less than 10 minutes we were eating YUMMY rice. I was actually thinking it was way too easy and the rice would taste terrible but it was easy & tasted great.
I do NOT think this is too big for 2 people. I had this thing pretty full with rice and my husband and I had just enough left over for 1 meal. If this were any smaller I think there would be a problem with stirring your food and having it fall out. In my opinion this size is perfect for 2 people or more.
This is also very easy to clean.
I have nothing bad at all to say about this Wok. We've had it less than 6 months so I can't say how durable it will be but it is a solid piece, seems well made and feels like it will last a long time.
***Over the weekend while running errands we picked up a Quart of Fried Rice & General Tsos Chicken from our local restaurant. What we noticed was how the oil from the Fried Rice had leaked through the paper container and when we emptied the container it was covered in oil & so was our rice. I had never payed any attention before as to how much oil was actually on that Fried Rice. When I make Fried Rice in my Aroma Wok I use either NO oil or just a tiny bit of oil, even if the recipe calls for more oil it still turns out perfect but is WAY healthier & not oily at all. Even if you are just making PLAIN chicken, meaning I have put nothing at all on my chicken(no seasoning), only cut it up into small bite size pieces, turn wok on high, either use a tiny dab of oil(1 tsp) or no oil and I have no idea how it tastes good but it DOES. I did this the other day and my husband asked what I had put on the chicken and he could hardly belive it had nothing on it. This is definately a healthier way to cook Chinese Food or any food!!

Aroma AFD-615 5-Tier Rotating Food Dehydrator Review

Originally bought the Aroma Dehydrator to handle an over-abundance of garden peppers, but have used it for apples, herbs, and other garden products now as well. Has operated almost non-stop this fall, and worked flawlessly. Is easy to keep clean, quiet, does a nice job. A larger dehydrator might be nice, but for the money, I'll call this a "best buy."
