Peeps, a long time ago you mentioned buying something with your Amazon reward points. I thought...Ok, how's she getting those because I want some too 
. I did some checking around and discovered how to get some for me 
. Now, my reward points burn a hole in my pocket until I use them. I'm such a sucker for Amazon.

It wasn't Amazon reward points. I got an Amazon gift card for downloading the Mango app to my phone. It keeps track of meds and sends reminders when it's time to take your meds.
How/where do you get your Amazon reward points? I would love to get some rewards.

Amazon credit card
You only get 5%, but 5% is better than nada.
I just got these from Amazon.
Pull apart SS scissors (I wanted these for cutting poultry) so I know they are clean and safe.
Set of 2 because I have no Idea where my old ones went (I had 7 in assorted sizes)
I have been wanting these for a long time. Now I can try Crème Brulé, Lava Cake and small Pop overs/Yorkshire Puddings.
And Christmas cookie season is almost upon us. I want to make gingerbread cookies and sugar cookies. My cookie cutters must be visiting my loaf pans!!

I like that!
I ordered some spices from Amazon. My birthday is next week, so I got myself 3 goodies while I was ordering.

I used the garlic slicer today.
Sliced a whole head/bulb of garlic paper thin in less than 5 minutes. I love it.
No more nipping my fingers, trying to slice by garlic hand.

I also really like the New OXO grinder. It has 5 easy, clear grind settings. Easy twist grind (the old one was a crank handle). The old OXO grinder had the grind setting on the bottom and wasn't too easy to get the right setting. I had to replace the old OXO grinder because the plastic door in front that you filled the corns into got pushed in. The new one loads from the bottom and the cap screws on. And this one holds a lot more corns, so it doesn't need filling as often.
The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a top that I can grind into. I don't like to grind over a hot, steamy pot. The old one had a cap on the bottom (it was a bottom grinder, the new one is mess-free top grinder) that I could grind into, then sprinkle or measure into a spoon. So I saved the cap from the old one and have the new one sitting on it.

I’m going to slice a bunch and freeze it with nothing added in snack bags. Just break a piece off and put the rest back in freezer.
I bought a rocker garlic press. I love it. With the arthritis I can’t squeeze the traditional garlic press anymore. I posted a picture of it above in this thread.

I saw that. That looks like it's easy to clean.
Yup. And it came with a "brush" thing that goes in the holes to clean it easier. And a thing that peels the cloves.
