I told my SS (theonegreatx) that I travel a lot for work but like to cook when I'm at home. He found the best of both worlds! The splitter will be extremely useful; I usually end up unplugging a lamp to charge my laptop and/or phone at hotels. And I can't wait to try the recipes from the cookbook! I've been experimenting with fish dishes and the Gordon Ramsay book is full of fresh fish recipes. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
