Cold Beer with Class: the Keg-o-Mania

June 29, 2009

Now that's a classy Beer Chiller

Now that's a classy Beer Chiller

Kegs have the connotation of dirty steel drums and wild excess but what if you want beer that’s chilled yet a little more portable, a little more apartment-sized, a little less obnoxious?  Here’s the manufacturer’s description of what looks like a first-class beer chiller or kegerator, the Keg-o-Mania:

A truly portable kegerator, this AC/DC beer cooler and dispenser can be used in the home, boat, RV or camper to serve cold beer anywhere, anytime. Unlike other models currently in the marketplace, this highly versatile unit is the only dispenser of its kind that is compatible with both the standard 5 Liter mini-kegs and the increasingly popular (and widely available) Heineken DraughtKeg . With a sleek, chrome-laden design, a thermoelectric cooling system, and a removable drip tray for easy cleaning, KEG-O-MANIA is sure to be a highlight of any home bar, and a must-have for beer lovers everywhere.

Dad's Adventure

Dads Adventure

Dads Adventure, Inc. is dedicated to fostering the development of role models for new fathers in their communities, neighborhoods and families by working to put out positive, constructive information and messages, as well as tools and resources that help them do the job.

Dads Adventure publishes Hit the Ground Crawling, Dads Adventure Magazine and Crash Course for New Dads to help men get the most out of fatherhood and operates DadsAdventure.com so all new fathers have a place to connect and get answers to their questions.

Started in 1995 by father of four and brother to 12, Greg Bishop, Dads Adventure also proudly sponsors Boot Camp for New Dads, a non-profit orientation workshop for dads-to-be.

Boot Camp for New Dads

Boot Camp for New Dads (BCND) was created in 1990, when four fathers got together at the local hospital and started a workshop in which they oriented dads-to-be on fatherhood. They brought along their babies to make it real, and no women over 2′ tall were allowed.

After several months, the dads-to-be returned with their own babies to orient the next group of men, starting an ongoing cycle. In 1995 BCND started partnering with hospitals across the U.S and in 1998 was turned into a non-profit organization.

Today with over 200,000 graduates, BCND is the nation’s largest program for fathers, operating in 260 communities across 43 states, the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, and expanding internationally. For more information please visit BCND.org or for locations,click here.

Men are Way Beyond the Barbeque Grill

April 30, 2009

If you’re a man who cooks, or you’re thinking about improving your cooking skills, you’re not alone. Check out these stats:

  • 65% of men prepare at least one meal a week for others in the household (Harris Interactive study commissioned by publisher Rodale, quoted in AdWeek, Aug. 11, 2008)
  • 53% of men cook with separate ingredients nearly every day, according to new study commissioned by food company PurAsia.
  • 52% of men report that cooking is a hobby, not a chore “and the amount of time men have spent at the stove has risen fivefold since 1961.” (reported in BrandWeek.com, Sept. 15, 2008).
  • 40% of the primetime viewers of the Food Network are men (AdWeek, Aug. 11, 2008)
  • The editor-in-chief of Men’s Health magazine says “recipes are the most-read stories in our magazine.” (reported on homefamily.net, April 27, 2008)

It’s just a stereotype that men won’t cook unless it’s outdoors on the grill, anything but a slab of meat. Complex sauces, healthy wok dishes, baked pasta combos, terrific concoctions.  Oh yeah!
