Williams Sonoma's Guide to Christmas

I simply am not Williams Sonoma material. I have dog nose prints on all my windows, leftover kraft mac and cheese in the fridge, and my idea of a gift wrap is putting in it a gift bag. Williams Sonoma customers need biscuits that cost 75.00 for their luncheon which are kept in a larder. What the hell is a larder? How is it different from a pantry? In any case, it is fun to peruse the catalog for the most absurd items one can purchase...


Item #54-3800760 Williams-Sonoma Snowflake Marshmallows

Williams-Sonoma says: "Fluffy marshmallows are hand cut and individually dusted."

Price: $5.95. Set of four.

6.00 for 4 marshmallows. That are cut like stars and melt the minute it hits the hot chocolate. Oh wait..they are DUSTED. Totally worth it.

Item #54-5710884 Three Months Of Pork

Williams-Sonoma says: "Includes 2-lb. extra thick bacon steak, 2 lbs. 4 oz. smoked Italian sausage links, and 2 lbs. Heritage Berkshire pork bulk breakfast sausage."

Price: $99.95

Waiitttt a sec.....this is 3 months of pork??? 6 pounds of meat? for 100.00? This is a breakfast meal in our house. And they make you wait for it with baited breath every month.

Items #54-126250 and #54-527879 Butter Making Kit, Rooster Butter Stamp

Williams-Sonoma says: "Just add cream for fresh, flavorful butter in 20 minutes!... A bas-relief rooster image adds a flourish to fresh churned butter"

Price: $29.95 (kit), $9.95 (stamp)

Butter in 20 minutes. Really? Do they mention how you churn for for 20 damn minutes until your arm falls off? That butter would be enough to butter someone's toast. Once. Well, i guess you have the option of stamping the butter. Where's Costco?

Item #54-5062088 Breville Smart Waffle Maker

Williams-Sonoma says: "With 12 browning setting and an 'A Bit More' button that let you add on time until waffles are cooked to perfection."

Price: $199.95 (two-square), $249.95 (four-square)


Now, here is the obvious question. If you have 12 browning settings, you actually need "A BIT MORE" setting?? And truly, i make alot of fucking waffles-how can there be 12 and A BIT MORE browning of waffles? Is level 1 white? Level 5 light tan with streaks of cream? Honey, please hit the "BIT MORE" button...the waffle is brown like toast, but needs more more. Just a bit.


Item #54-5873732 Gingerbread Estate

Williams-Sonoma says: "(not shown)"

Price: $249.95

Notes: What the fuck? I can't see the estate? The house itself is 57 bucks. How much larger is the estate? Is it so large that it can't fit within any standard camera lens? Does it have a fucking golf course? I want a gingerbread estate with a chocolate moat and armed taffy guards and maple butter gates, and if someone tries to break in, my peppermint security alarm alerts an elite group of butter toffee SEAL members to come shoot hot caramel right in your fucking EYE.

Okay, I am getting testy now. Merry Christmas....

  1. Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.
    I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me. I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).
    Reasons I chose them over the others:
    1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
    2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
    3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.
    How did they do it
    1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
    2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
    3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
    4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
    5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
    6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.
    My Experience I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very
    different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
    Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
    Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!
