The Weekend Guide

What to Do This Weekend

Cheers, kampai, salute, and chin chin.

BUY
Toast-its
What: Turn wine labels into greeting cards with some handy stickers. Plus, they remind hosts that it was you who brought the nice stuff.
Why: We’ll drink to that.
Where: Online at toast-its.com.

COOK
Ad Hoc Fried Chicken Kit
What: Pass off Thomas Keller’s famous recipe as your own with this delish mix containing the same ingredients used at his Napa Valley resto. Each kit makes sixteen to twenty pieces.
Why: Bird’s the word.
Where: Online at williams-sonoma.com.

READ
BookGlutton
What: New site enables you to discuss as you read. (In other words, you can start book clubs with friends who live in different cities.) 
Why: It’s a novel idea.
Where: Online at bookglutton.com.

HANG
John Murphy Picture Frames
What: The supercool Philadelphia photographer now sells his coveted, colorful beauties.
Why: They’re photo worthy.
Where: Online at shopjohnmurphy.com.

USE
EggWatchers
What: Click your egg’s size and how you want it, and the site will tell you precisely how long to boil it. What’s more, you’ll be entertained with a YouTube video for that exact amount of time.
Why: You don’t crack under pressure.
Where: Online at eggwatchers.com.
