foodtvandme.com is the unofficial food network fansite with news, reviews, and my attempts at those great recipes you see on tv.

I’m not really sure why they asked Giada to pick her favorite home picks, but they did so let’s just go with it.  As you may or may not know, the Today Show frequently asks Giada De Laurentiis about anything food related.  This week they went a step further and asked her to attend the 2007 International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago.  So she did.  She also went on to pick her five favorite home picks from that show.  Here were the five and for more information on each thing, click on the link to the Today Show’s page:

1. Keepeez vacuum lids
2. Thermos Foogo sippy cups
3. Grill mat and Seasoned Starters and Fruit Stickles
4. Cake molds
5. Magic eraser roller mop

Do you want to know what bugged me about this?  I honestly don’t care what Giada uses to mop up her floor.  The only person who actually mentions that she cleans her kitchen is Rachael Ray with her G.B. (garbage bowl).  In my mind, Giada is above cleaning.  She hires people to clean it, or she waves her hands and the mess magically disappears.  But to read that she is endorsing a mop and vacuum lids kind of makes me a little sad. 

Maybe I’m wrong.  Did you find this information helpful?  Are you going to run to Target and buy a Magic Eraser Roller Mop because the lovely Giada said it’s great?  If you are I really would like to know why.  I just don’t get it.  And it still makes me a little sad.
