We are getting rid of our copy of Forbidden Island, but Pandemic remains a favorite. I don’t mind that we hardly ever seem to win, because cooperative games are just 100x better than other games (except puzzle games).

MamaMaurina – Thanks for the suggestions, I know about the Geek&Sundry youtube channel but haven’t watched it yet (something always pulls me away from the computer). I’ll make more effort!

Ellen – I have lots of silicone spatulas myself and none are quite right. I’m excited to try one of these, we’ll compare notes!

Brianne – I am! We own a copy of Forbidden Island, which is a little faster to play. I’d love to join you sometime!

Alex – Thanks for the recommendation! I got a pair of good stretchy ones from Nordstrom this year after trying out every other touch brand I could find. I’ll take a look at the Moma ones too.

Melissa – Oops, I phrased that awkwardly. I meant to say “sorry this links to an old giveaway but I wanted to make a note that this is their favorite”.

Include Munchkin for sure on the list of fun board games – also Castle Panic (cooperative). I’m just getting into Ticket to Ride too. And while you at it go check out Geek & Sundry’s youtube channel and search the “Tabletop” section – lots of great videos of charming notable geeks (Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day) playing & explaining board games. LOVE.

We have searched and searched for better spatulas for dealing w/ hot caramel at Helliemae’s, and every single one has disappointed. I’m excited to learn about this GIR spatula. We’re going to order a few and try them out – thanks!

I got a pair of the Echo Touch Gloves at MoMA during their holiday members sale and I love them. They really work well and are a nice cut – a little more stylish than knit gloves. And now they are on sale on the MoMA site, and even cheaper than what I got them for!

That Thermapen giveaway is from so long ago last year. I need a new timer/thermometer thing, though, so I appreciate the pointer.
