I may not have lived during a time when the motion picture came into existence, but did you know that a few Jacob Bromwell products have found their way to the big screen? Why, that's no flibbity-flab. With the Academy Awards taking place tonight, I thought I'd highlight a few items that had supporting roles in feature films...

 

The Help: As the camera pans across a radio on a kitchen shelf in one scene, you can see a vintage Jacob Bromwell grater with the "Bromwell" stamp on it plain as day, just like my modern day Morgan's Famous Grater!

 

The Green Mile: Tom Hanks himself sipped from one of my Classic Tin Cups in this 1999 period prison drama film!

 

Big Daddy: 1999 was a good year for JB products -- my Legendary Colander made an appearance in this Adam Sandler comedy -- and that's no joke!

 

Whether you need authentic looking cooking props for a period film or just want to give your home that vintage touch, Jacob Bromwell's got you covered! Best of luck to all of the Oscar nominees.

 

February is always National Pancake Month, folks--did you know that? When I was growing up, my ma and pa called them flapjacks but I just call them tasty! Instead of making the usual standard pancake (not that there's anything wrong with that) why not check out this here Bon Appetite page and tuck into some scrumptious variations including lemon-ricotta pancakes, spiced coconut pancakes, and more. Get the maple syrup and butter handy--and you can thank ol' Jacob later!

Let's face it; even though the groundhog says we're going to have an early spring, the calendar still says we have 41 days of winter left. That means 41 days of potential snow and ice to fall on. I've learned the hard way that falling on your keister during the winter hurts like the dickens! So this here handy dandy guide to walking (and falling) on the frozen stuff should hopefully help you out. Stay safe, folks!
