Stubborn stains on glass top stoves

I'd like to pretend I did the following on purpose, however, I'm sure I am not the first so let me share my solution with head hung a little low today...
Supper was ready, moved the pot off the hot burner, grabbed a tortilla wrap and put the package on the stove.. Didn't clue in until after supper that I had placed it on the hot burner. :'( I ended up with a lovely image of the package right on my burner.

My solution... Surface Master stainless steel powder cleaner from Saladmaster! I sprinkled a little bit directly to the (cooled) burner, and then wiped with a wet cloth, and......

 BAM all gone! This stuff is a regularly used item in my kitchen, as it is great for keeping my pots and pans looking their best estimate, but and makes my sink nice and shiny as well!

Cuisinart single serve brewing system

I have been wanting a Keurig coffee maker for quite some time now, but just couldn't let myself buy a new one when we had a perfectly good regular coffee maker already.  But they are sooo convenient...  At first I didn't know if I wanted Keurig or Tassimo, so I asked my friends on facebook.  Every single one of them said go for Keurig, do not get a Tassimo. (not sure their reasoning, but when the votes are 100% one way, you listen)  So I decided if we are going to get one, I wanted to get the best bang for my buck.  I read countless reviews, on countless machines...until I found this one.

I originally found this Cuisinart single serve brewing system (SS-700C) on the Tweed & Hickory web site, and everybody only had good things to say about it!  The comparable Keurig machine is the new B70, however, my concern with the Keurig machines is that I have heard that they frequently need replacing or have parts recalled.  Cuisinart is a well trusted name in kitchen appliances and I had more confidence in their product, plus it had more features and accessories.  For those of you debating a new machine here is some factual comparisons on the Keurig B70 and the Cuisinart SS-700C..
