Harvest season just started, and I’m missing my favorite unitasker–the Dazey Stripper. Dazey has quit making the little beast. It is an electric fruit peeler and had replacement blades. If bushels of apples, pears, etc are waiting to be processed into jars and freezers, it’s the country gal’s best friend, and it would strip the toughest of taters.

If anyone finds one of these and a stash of blades, I will pay for all plus the shipping. Sincerely, little cut and bloody hands…

Beh, wine itself is clutter. Who really neds to save spoiled grape juice that destroys your liver all for the sake of some outdated social custom from back in the days when water was unfit for drinking.

Skip the wine (and all alcohol) and save lots of money and space and gain quite a bit more.

Fun to see my Unitasker referral in this post! Verily: Fear not! The ad states that "a double-panelled half-smoke glass window is adopted to prevent harmful ultraviolet rays from intruding." becoming minimalist: Alas, it appears that you will have to resort to a far less glamorous plastic Stay Fresh Sandwich Container for only $3.99.

I’m especially relieved to read that “You can place the cellar at your bedside without anxiety about being bothered.” You never know when you’ll wake up in the middle of the night needing an emergency glass of wine, so it’s key to have a quiet cellar right there next to the bed.

I guess if you’re a millionaire giving a rare bottle of wine, you would look a little silly handing it over in one of those tall, skinny wine gift bags.

Outside of that single scenario, yes, this is the dumbest thing ever.

I suppose my refrigerator is worthless, after all.

No one to defend this thing yet? I’m disappointed.

People actually keep a good bottle of wine around for more than 3 hours?

I’m thinking that this and a bottle of good wine could be a wedding present at a ritzy wedding. It’s definitely not something you would buy for yourself.

For $475, you could get an entire wine refrigerator with lots of fancy temperature controls. Then, you could store lots of special bottles of wine.

I guess this is intended for the silly wine snob that feels they must show off their über-rare bottle for all to see. Isn’t the glass surrounding the bottle clear by the way? Wouldn’t that invite light in to prematurely age the wine?

I didn’t think it was that bad until I saw the price tag! As I am typing this, there is an ad in the sidebar for a wine refrigerator for $199.

Just what I need for my $10.00 bottle of wine!
