Even though I just got mine last week as one of my birthday gifts from Greg, I already know that I can’t live without this great gadget.

Whether I am in search of the perfect lemon drop martini or fresh lemon juice for my salad dressing, this thing is amazing. The metal steel cup inside keeps the pulp out and gets every single drop out of juice out of the lemon. It’s fabulous.

Comment below to tell me about your favorite kitchen tool.

I have had my L.L. Bean Thinsulate/GorTex boots since 1996 –  I still love them.

I have worn them while trudging through snowstorms when I commuted into downtown Boston everyday on the T, and they were faithful friends at the school bus stop on winter mornings.

Now, I wear them on my morning walks on the sidewalks of Coolidge Corner in Massachusetts and the trails of Waveny in Connecticut.  They are the warmest driest boots on the planet. Get yours here.
