Home Egg McMuffin machine

I've never actually eaten an Egg McMuffin, but as it's from McDonald's, I'm sure it's delicious and disgusting and terrible for you. Now you can make those unhealthy breakfast treats in your own home at drive-through speed. Back to Basic's new Egg & Muffin toaster simultaneously toasts your English muffins or bagel while poaching (or steam scrambling) an egg and warming up a sausage or a slice of ham (as long as it's pre-cooked or you're in for a nasty, warm but raw surprise). I suppose you melt the processed cheese food in your microwave to complete the McMuffin experience.

I want one of these for making other things like Eggs Benedict. The round egg steamer would make perfectly shaped poached eggs. I kind of love the idea of having one appliance that cooks several things at once so they'll be ready at the same time.

The Egg & Muffin toaster will be available in September for $49.95. Back to Basics products are usually available in most of the big appliance or electronics retail stores like Target.

Accessories for Lonely Men

Noam Toran designed eigth (concept) Accessories for Lonely Men that recreate some of the nice and bad aspects of a relationship. My favourite ones:

During the night, the Sheet Stealer winds the bedclothes up into a tube attached to the side of the bed. Once woken by the cold, the sleeper can pull the sheet out again and reclaim it for himself.

Once placed on the body, the steel finger of the Chest Hair Curler rotates gently, playing with his chest hair, while Shared Cigarette is intended to be used after a solitary sex act: it has two holes, one for cigarette, and the other for exhaling smoke.

The rapid-fire Plate Thrower, on the other hand, is to be used in moments of high passion. The collection also includes a pair of cold feet like objects to place in the bed, an alarm clock that wakes you up by flicking a strand of hair across your face, and a device that expels breath-like bursts of warm air, to be placed on the pillow (picture above).

All of them could work perfectly for Lonely Girls as well. I'll just pass on the Chest Hair Curler.
