Putting your liquor bottles in place requires some finesse. Barsys doesn’t provide any ingredients. It doesn’t make cocktails from concentrate or pods like the upcoming Drinkworks Home Bar from Keurig. Instead, you put a specialized cork into your liquor of choice, then flip the bottle and put it onto one of five plastic nozzles jutting out from the top of the machine. The end result looks cool if you have Barsys stacked with five of your favorite liquors, but the nozzles can push the corks in odd directions, so you need to turn them into place carefully.

"After tons of thinking and praying I’ve decided to close the shop," owner Sarah Spezza wrote on Facebook. "I am so grateful for all the love and support I’ve received since opening the door two years ago. Just because the brick and mortar is gone doesn’t mean The Annex is.

Slicing, dicing, even julienning — you can do it all and whittle down your prep time with this food chopper. Made from heavy-duty, BPA-free plastic with stainless steel blades, this device makes short work of even the firmest, most dense vegetables, like carrots, and won’t squish delicate fruits, like kiwis or tomatoes. Unlike other models you’ll find, this one has a locking mechanism for safety, and all its parts are dishwasher safe, so it cleans up easily.

The barbecue joint’s carefully curated selection of bottled craft beer won’t return until the middle of February, because it had to reapply for its alcohol permit and couldn’t get a hearing scheduled before then.

The Jefferson Hotel in downtown Hammond, a historic building that dates back to 1919, closed and is boarded up.

For a smart washing machine with all the bells and whistles you could wish for, and a 10kg capacity to boot, we recommend the Samsung WW10H9600EW 10kg freestanding washing machine (£879, Amazon) as the best buy.

The display is important too – be sure to choose a machine you find easy to use. Trefler is full of tips for those who are stretched for time for domestic chores, and points to the efficiency of pre-ironing programmes. “If you have a busy lifestyle consider a model with quick or PowerWash cycles, offering a thorough wash in less than an hour.  More customers are also liking the benefits that pre-ironing programmes can offer, helping to take the hassle out of this chore by injecting bursts of steam at the end of the cycle to smooth clothes, for easier ironing."

"We have done almost a full scrape and rebuild, including the back of the house," Lane said. "We have all new ceilings, a couple new walls, updated floors, new paint, new chairs, and a much more vibrant and modern building."
