Flashy salt and pepper shakers

It's been a while since I've cooed over a set of salt and pepper shakers, so it's about time.

The Mini Lantern Salt and Pepper Shakers don't actually effect an "Ohmigod, how cute!" but they do get points for being totally functional, doing double duty as shakers as well as lights for the table. Each shaker has three white LED bulbs with built-in reflectors for even more brightness.

Because you always want to be prepared for a power outage just as you're about to reach for that salt shaker.

The set of shakers is available from HomeWetBar for $24.99

Photosynthesis in the 'fridge?

The do-it-yourselfers over at Make recently fielded an interesting question about whether or not LEDs in refrigerators can stimulate photosynthesis in fruits and vegetables. The idea was sparked by a Mitsubishi home refrigerator with orange LED lights in the crisper. The claim is that certain wavelengths of light will help keep produce fresher and maintain its nutritional value longer by triggering photosynthesis. The question posed to Make is, "Does this work and if so can't we just do it at home in our own refrigerators?" So far, the only reply comes from The Food Geek, who seems reasonably confident that it could work. As a side note, that Mitsubishi fridge also comes with UV light that will supposedly kill bacteria in your ice.

Tip of the Day

Butterscotch sauce is a rich and buttery treat that makes a great seasonal dessert topper in place of chocolate or whipped cream.
