While it might seem out of place on a food blog, a post about cell phones actually makes sense, because there are all kinds of situations foodies can be in where having a cell phone really comes in handy. For example, at the Farmer’s Market – you’re picking up tomatoes and you send your spouse to buy squash, only when they get there, they see yellow and green and crookneck and butternut, how can they find out which kind of squash you wanted? By calling you on their inexpensive, reliable, convenient cell phone!

TracFones have So many features it would take a whole blog page to list them all, but here are some of them:

• Phones for every budget, from phones that provide calling and texting for $10  to phones with built-in camera and video recorder, mp3 player and slide-out keyboard for $29.99
• Monthly plans for every budget too, from $9.99 for 50 minutes to 200 minutes for under $30
• International calls for the same price as local
• Pay as you go online or with minutes cards available at thousands of retailers around the country
• No contracts to sign, no activation charges, and no fees if you cancel!

Back to school means back to after school activities, and a great way to keep in touch with your kids is with a cell phone. While they aren’t allowed in school (at least not in most schools I know of), both my boys have a cell phone they keep in their backpack so they can call me if they miss the bus, or to get picked up from an after school activity. Our budget is getting tighter thanks to the rising cost of everything, so we are considering not renewing their contract phones and becoming one of those real TracFone customers we’ve been seeing in TV commercials.

We dropped our landline almost two years ago, so I also like my boys to have phones for when I run up to the grocery store and they stay home with their sister (they are 14 and 12, she’s 5). I can call and ask them to check the pantry so I don’t end up buying duplicates of what we already have, I can’t wait for my oldest to be old enough to drive so HE can go to the store and call ME! lol

TracFone gave me some info to share with you about their phones – with TracFone, there are no contracts to lock in, no credit checks before you can get a phone, no activation charges to turn the phone on, and what I like best, no cancellation fees if you decide you no longer want the phone. I always assumed pay as you go phones were bare-bones, but TracFones are packed with so many features ! For as little as $29.99 you can get a phone with a built-in camera, access to popular web browsing sites like Yahoo! and MSN, downloadable apps, even a slide-out keyboard!

If you’re a scrapbooker, you’ve probably heard of the Cricut (pronounced “Cricket”) by Provo Craft. It’s a home die-cutting machine that lets you cut paper into all kinds of shapes and letters. Well, Provo Craft has introduced something really amazing – the Cricut Cake !

I would have never imagined that there was a machine that let you cut shapes out of frosting sheets, fondant, cookie dough, cheese, tortillas, modeling chocolate, or gum! If you’ve ever wanted to decorate a cake like the ones you see professionals do, I think this would be the way to do it. You use a cartridge to tell the machine what shape to cut, and the choices are Basic, Holiday, Birthday, Elegant, and three cartridges featuring designs from Martha Stewart Crafts!

The Birthday cartridge includes popular birthday themes like princesses, robots, cowboys, and dinosaurs. Imagine how surprised the birthday child would be to see a cake decorated with cut-outs of their favorite character!

If you have a Cricut Cake or want to see it in action, there are two free online classes you can sign up for today and tomorrow. The classes are being taught by celebrity crafter Jinger Adams on March 30th and 31st,  at 11am and  6pm Mountain time both days.
