Twilight of the Great Lakes Steamer (Paperback)
Review
America's inland seas called the Great Lakes have been plied by all manner of vessels, but none more iconic that the huge steam powered freighters. Once numbered in the hundreds and the subject of both folklore and song, they have dwindled down to a last remaining twenty by the end of the 2008 shipping season. Ranging from the St. Mary's Challenger build in 1906 and representing more than one hundred years of service, to the Canadian Leader, built in 1967, these great nautical vessels are beginning to pass from the scene. That's why Twilight Of The Great Lakes Steamer; is a compendium of black-and-white photos and descriptive histories in terms of their previous and current operations of this class of ship is so impressive and appreciated.

Joyce Chen 10-Inch Bamboo Steamer Set
Amazon.com
Designed by famous restaurateur Joyce Chen, this three-piece ensemble uses natural bamboo to create a steamer with two separate cooking compartments. The strength of its material enables the unit to withstand regular use while its two-tiered design allows multiple dishes to be cooked simultaneously. Steaming uses no oils or fats and as a result produces healthy, low-calorie food. Although ideally suited to making savory dim sum, the domed steamer can just as easily be used to cook vegetables, shrimp, or muscles. Measuring 10 inches in diameter, the device fits comfortably inside a wok or stockpot during use and disassembles easily for simple storage. The steamer makes a useful and memorable gift and comes attractively packaged. Hand washing with water is recommended.
