Arnaud Soubeyran Marshmallow Ropes
These extra-long marshmallow sticks were featured in Domino a zillion years ago, and have been sold out since. They’re so fun (and photogenic) with cups of cocoa. Stock up for camping, or freeze them so you have them on hand when the air turns crisp.
$29 at Mel and Rose

Palo Alto Firefighters Pepper Sauce
Yum! I’m not usually much for hot sauce, but this is a winner.
My husband calls the Palo Alto Firefighters Pepper Sauce “cowboy syrup,” and and puts it on everything. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him using it as an ice cream topping.
The sauce is savory with just a tiny bit of kick, and it’s excellent with barbecue or breakfast dishes like eggs or fried potatoes. Try it, and see if you don’t order a few more bottles.

Sugar Egg
I have lovely memories of peering into the miniature worlds inside sugar eggs, but they’re nearly impossible to find now. Perhaps it’s because they taste terrible.
And yet, it’s impossible to deny my kid the magic of hoarding his sugar egg, until he finds it covered with ants.

Vacu Vin Pineapple Corer
I know, specialized gadgets are lame. However, have you seen how cheap a whole pineapple is when compared to a ready-to-eat pineapple?
But you really want this thing because it makes a glass for your next cocktail. You need drink umbrellas. And rum.
