I couldn't tell online if these bags were the plastic feel or the soft bags because both are polypropelene. These are the soft kind and they're great. They even have a removable plastic insert to go in the bottom of the bag if you like.

Joyce Chen Burnished Bamboo 5-Piece Utensil Set

noreply@blogger.com (Isnaini Dot Com) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 22:45:17 PDT

In today's rapidly changing world, using renewable resources makes sense, even in the kitchen. Joyce Chen's burnished bamboo utensils are not only earth-friendly, but beautiful and practical. Bamboo, a grass, grows quickly to harvestable size and is considered an environmentally-sound replacement for slow-growing trees. Stronger than wood, the tools in this set won't scratch nonstick surfaces and are so tough they won't swell, split, or absorb moisture like wood can. Moreover, these are dishwasher-safe. The burnished honey color comes not from a stain but from oven-roasting, which caramelizes the bamboo's naturally occurring sugars.

Designed with Asian cooking in mind, but appropriate for other types of cuisine as well, this five-piece bamboo tool set includes a 12-inch mixing spoon, 12-inch slotted spatula, 11-inch tongs, and 13-inch stir-fry spatula, complete with a bamboo canister. All the tools are safe to use on any nonstick surface. Joyce Chen produces an impressive range of burnished bamboo kitchen tools and cutting boards, along with traditional woks and Asian-style cutlery for the dedicated home chef.

noreply@blogger.com (Isnaini Dot Com) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 22:41:00 PDT

Pinzon's bamboo throw is incredibly soft and cozy, as well as strong and durable. With a thickness and a strength reminiscent of wool, the throw is made with bamboo fibers that give it a silky finish and cotton fibers that let it breathe. At 50 by 60 inches, the throw is ideal for wrapping around shoulders when snuggling in a favorite chair or for stretching out under on the sofa. Expertly woven using 80 percent Rayon made from bamboo and 20 percent cotton, the throw weighs 30 ounces, making it both lightweight and warm.

On two ends, the throw features 3-inch fringe that is hand twisted and self knotted for a homespun decorative touch. The bamboo throw is offered in a variety of versatile colors for smart, useful decorating. Get several to efficiently outfit many rooms in the house, or to give as gifts. The imported throw needs dry cleaning only for care.
