I want that deep fryer, that is so cool!  Great article about Bryan, love all the bits about sharing tips with everyone.  You obviously have way too much fun surfing for cooking gadgets, love it!

I love my microplane.  I also have a set of measuring cups that include irregular measures (2/3 cup and 3/4). There is also an egg in the set, which is also very useful to me.

It is so cool that Bryan makes time for the local events! I was grocery shopping next door that day, and when I came out in the parking lot, I heard his voice over the PA system talking about the basil. Bryan is at the Urbana festival? Of course! It is his hometown. Very cool. That was a hot day. It was a good crowd. Way to keep it real! Love it!
