All-American 30-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner
$451.00
I have the 15qt, the 21qt, and am saving up for the 30 qt I have friends that are using their grandmother's American Canner! They will last a life time. I like to can chili and various soups, so when I don't feel like cooking, I just open a jar of soup I've canned. I wanted the 30 qt, so I could can twice as many quarts than with my other 2 canner. You won't be sorry if you buy one of these.

Prompts/Miscues
$12.98
Oh goodness, The Foundry Field Recordings, how do you even begin to describe how remarkably delicious they are?

Prompt/Miscues starts off with a recording of what sounds like a submarine transmission and breaks into a gentle piano riff that builds slowly into an three minute long jam session followed by the melodic choruses of Battle Brigades II that is reminisce of something off a Sparklehorse album. Over the course of the album, you get part fairytale, part Built to Spill before they went off the rails, part charm, part songwriting brilliance, part technotronics - every song on the album falls together like a well-read History book complete with Billy Schuh's lilt singing about the Russian Revolution, Warning Raids over Kiev and other weird rustic war stories.

Make this an album you buy today, even if it's already three years on and they're still touring with terrible bands like Aqueduct. This will be one of the most charming first records you will ever own.
