At Home on the Range $15.84 Recently, while moving into a new house, Elizabeth Gilbert unpacked some boxes of family books that had been sitting in her mother’s attic for decades. Among the old, dusty hardcovers was a book called At Home on the Range (or, How To Make Friends with Your Stove) by Gilbert’s great-grandmother, Margaret Yardley Potter. Having only been peripherally aware of the volume, Gilbert dug in with some curiosity, and soon found that she had stumbled upon a book far ahead of its time. In her workaday cookbook, Potter espoused the importance of farmer’s markets and ethnic food (Italian, Jewish, and German), derided preservatives and culinary shortcuts, and generally celebrated a devotion to seeking out new epicurean adventures. Potter takes car trips out to Pennsylvania Dutch country to eat pickled pork products, and during World War II she cajoles local poultry farmers into saving buckets of coxcombs for her so she can try to cook them in the French manner. She takes trips to the eastern shore of Maryland, where she learns to catch and prepare eels so delicious, she says, they must be “devoured in a silence almost devout.” Part scholar–she includes a great recipe from 1848 for boiled sheep head–and part crusader for a more open food conversation than currently existed, it’s not hard to see from where Elizabeth Gilbert inherited both her love of food, and her warm, infectious prose. Featuring a comprehensive and moving introduction from Potter’s great-granddaughter, Elizabeth Gilbert, At Home on the Range is an eminently usable and humorous cookbook. But it’s also more than that: it’s an heirloom, an into-the-wee-hours dinner with relatives and ancestors, a perfect gift for anybody with a stove or a mother. Margaret Yardley Potter’s book is culled from a lifetime of cooking and entertaining in her home, from the 1920s through World War II. In addition to being a cooking columnist for the Wilmington Star, she also painted, sold dresses, assisted in the birth of four grandchildren, and took up swing piano.

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother…Printer

For years now, Brother International has been making some of the most popular printing products you can buy.  And with good reason.  Brother printers have a reputation for being solid, affordable, low maintenance machines.  But what is it that makes a Brother special? Well, it's a variety of factors, but Brother printers are well known for their durability and quality.

Quality Print, Cool Features

Probably the most important indicator of a quality printer is how good it prints.  Many Brother products print in HQ1200 resolution.High resolution prints can typically slow printing time, but with many Brother models, page per minute is not affected by the large resolution of the print.  The HL-2140 monochrome printer, which won a PC Magazine 4 Star rating, demonstrates this attention to quality and speed, printing up to 2400x600dpi resolution at up to 22ppm.  And its Brother TN360 high yield toner cartridge prints up to 2,600 pages overall.

Brother printers also offer a variety of navigation and compatibility options.Many printers come with built-in network interfaces.This enables you to share your printer among a group of users, reducing the amount of printers you need to purchase and set up.  Additionally, many of these printers also network wirelessly.  Brother boasts a wide variety of printer emulations as well, which make your printer compatible with nearly any office or graphics application for PC or Mac.

Toner Save Mode

All Brother laser models feature a Toner Save mode which can be used for printing draft documents.  Toner Save mode can help reduce the amount of Brother toner you purchase in a month.And aside from the obvious cost benefits, the reduced waste is also beneficial to our environment.

Brother's line of products are award winners for a very good reason.  They are affordable, high quality machines with a variety of great features, which make them perfect for your home or office.
