Best BBQ Sauce: Simly Natural Recipe

I’d recently asked some online friends in a food forum what they thought the best bottled barbecue or bbq sauce is. Four out of five of them mentioned "Bone Suckin". I was NOT disappointed! It is not a thick gloppy sauce clogged up with corn syrup as most of the supermarket brands (Hunts, Kraft, etc) are. The best BBQ sauce flavor is complex. It is not too sweet, not vinegary, and with just a modicum of spice heat to keep it interesting, and so it tastes like barbecue. I’ve even used it in kitchen cooking (as opposed to grilling) and people commented on the great taste. I bought it from Amazon, but Whole Foods also carries it.

Small Microwave Oven: Compact It

I purchased this small microwave oven as an addition to my dorm room. I would have liked a high-powered Sharp r-230kk 800-watt 4/5-cubic-foot compact microwave, but restraints on space and money stopped me. For the price and for the size, this comptact microwave oven works rather well. There are some extra functions, but I just use the regular microwaving. The only thing that I do not like about the microwave is that its internal rotating dish is not very stable, and is prone to shifting off its base with even a slightly unbalanced load. Even so, it was a worthwhile purchase.

Buy Vuvuzela Horn: Annoy Everyone

A lot of people seem to think that there is a reed or other noise maker in the vuvuzela horn. However, the (in)famous sound is made by buzzing your lips.

I actually prefer the vuvuzela horn in two pieces, so that it is easier to transport. As far as I can tell, this does not hinder the sound. Oh, and the plastic is sturdy enough for me. I am glad I made the purchase, and I look forward to being "that vuvuzela guy" at every sporting event I go to from now on.
