Just a quick tip from The Dads: Harris & Dave!
The Dads’ Shop to find a Perfect Birthday Gift!
Okay, so it’s our dear friend Robyn’s birthday and we were trying to figure out what her gift should be this year. We pride ourselves on choosing real treats- basically stuff she would never think to buy herself, but could really use.
Since we know that she sometimes forgets to clean as she cooks, our first thought was . . . KITCHEN SUPPLIES! When we saw this spoon rest for $10 as Boscov’s, we were sold! We can’t count how many times we have spotted Robyn using a large plate on her counter to rest her cooking spoon! It drives us crazy! We loved this product so much in fact, that we picked one up for ourselves!
Pastry Rolling Sheet
Reduce your Back Pain with a GelPro Mat!
NewLife GelPro Mats! If you do any amount of standing at your kitchen counter, you have to have one of these mats!!!
After years of going without the mat and having back pain as a result, what a difference this product makes! They come in a variety of beautiful designs. They are a little pricey but well worth the trade off!
With all the holiday cooking and washing of dishes, Harris & Dave suggest that you treat yourself to one of these and enjoy the holidays free of back pain!

Quick Tip: The Microplane
The Microplane is an outstanding tool for every kitchen. When looking to zest a lemon, lime, or orange, you have to treat yourself to a Microplane!
We love this tool and it costs less than $15! What we love about it, is that it removes just the zest and none of the bitter part of the skin of the citrus. We make the best Lemon Meringue Pie with ours! We have also used it to grate Parmesan Reggiano as well as other hard cheeses into fine lacy wisps.
You will love it!
