Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream

It's the darker side of high school football. This is a gripping book about a town's obsession. While it isn't necessarily a pretty picture, a little drama may make back to school seem more bearable.

Salad Blaster Bowl

First to recommend

Description

August already? Guess "bikini-ready by the beginning of summer" is long over, but at least you can still look good for the Indian summer. Container Store's Salad Blaster will help you watch what you eat, since it makes eating salads for lunch at work much easier. The plastic bowl carries the salad greens and other vegetables, and dressing is separate in a compartment in the lid. When it's time to eat, "blast" the dressing into the salad.

Zeroll 1050 Original Ice Cream Scoop

First to recommend

Description

The Zeroll is a classic, so much so that there's one on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The Zeroll's hollow handle is filled with antifreeze-like self-defrosting liquid that transfers heat from your hand internally to the scooper.

Bacon Chocolate

26 people recommended this item

Description

When eating a salad or hamburger, I always joke that bacon makes anything taste better. But what about when it's added to chocolate? Well, someone went ahead and put bacon in chocolate, and this unique flavor combination has become the talk of the town. The bacon adds a salty flavor that creates a deep, smoky flavor out of the chocolate not unlike that of barbecue sauce.
