Memorial Day kitchen deals are heating up: Score deep discounts on Yeti, Vitamix, Keurig and more
Hello, it's Yahoo's resident pro baker turned deals hunter reporting for duty. When Memorial Day Weekend rolls around, I can never decide what I'm more excited about — the food or the sales. On one hand, few things are as enjoyable as scarfing down a burger loaded with toppings (and a side of watermelon, please!). On the other, saving money gives me a serotonin boost that's hard to beat. Good thing I don't really have to choose. By tracking down the best Memorial Day kitchen deals, I can have my metaphorical cake and eat it too.And that, my friends, is exactly what I've done. Memorial Day sales on brands from Vitamix to Yeti have already started, and to save you the trouble of sifting through the mediocre ones, I've handpicked my favorites. These are either products I use myself, or they're just really solid deals that I've bookmarked for my own shopping cart. Not all deals are created equal, but by enlisting the help of price trackers and comparing sales across retailers, I've vetted each item on this list — non-legit discounts need not apply.Of course, sales don't last forever, so if you see something that catches your eye, I'd advise snagging it while you can. Oh, and I'll be updating this list with more finds throughout the holiday, so be sure to check back often. And with that, happy saving (and savoring)!

United States Presidential Culinary Museum® Celebrates America 250 with Launch of "The Washington's Famous Syllabub Drink"
GROVER, N.C., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of the Semiquincentennial—America's 250th anniversary of independence—the United States Presidential Culinary Museum® is continuing to promote the national celebration with a unique culinary tribute: the Founding Families Syllabub, a fun, free-wheeling drink of the beloved Colonial-era libations. America's 250th anniversary is officially being marked by a year‑long series of national events, beginning Memorial Day 2025 and rocketing into July 4, 2026. With events spanning the federal government, local institutions, nonprofits, and the public, this multi-faceted celebration is meant to rekindle our country's rich history and spirit. Syllabub, a frothy, sweet drink traditionally made with cream, sugar, and wine or brandy, has a storied past dating back to the 1500s during the reign of the Tudors starting with King Henry VII, son of Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Richmond, and Lady Margaret Beaufort. It remained a favorite for more than 300 years. Long before eggnog with a dash of cinnamon became the seasonal staple, Syllabub was enjoyed year-round—both in England and in the American colonies. The drink's popularity grew immensely in the 1700s, despite sugar being heavily taxed and politically controversial for British colonists. In America, even amidst this taxation tension, Syllabub became a fashionable indulgence. By the time of the American Revolution, it had become a signature at social gatherings, particularly among Founding Fathers and First Lady Dolley Madison, who famously served it at White House receptions. Syllabub wasn't just a drink—it was an experience. It had its own glassware, utensils, and preparation techniques designed to create the perfect whipped froth on top. Initially served in clay mugs, its visual appeal led to the development of clear glass vessels, which triggered a consumer revolution of insanity purchasing. Middle-class households began purchasing specialty Syllabub sets, and merchants advertised entire fancy collections in their shops. During the Revolutionary War, the drink remained popular—even when fancy glassware was hard to come by. Colonists, considering themselves British Americans, were keen to keep pace with fashion trends from the U.K.—from food and drink to décor and dress. Owning Syllabub glassware was as much about identity as it was about indulgence. Today, the United States Presidential Culinary Museum® is proud to revive this historic beverage with an authentic, verified recipe from George and Martha Washington. Syllabub was famously served at the W Mount Vernon estate, Jefferson's Monticello, the Madison's Montpelier, according to historical records and is featured there today as well as at Williamsburg, The American Revolutionary War Living History Center, and Old Salem Village. Event Highlights: - Launch reception on July 4, 2025, at 3:00 PM in the Museum's Presidential Dining Room - Syllabub tasting stations, menu pairings, and live culinary demonstrations including non-alcoholic versions and how to create those - Historical talk series, "Sips from the Past: Colonial Drinks & Diplomacy" streamed on the PRESENTS™ Network via YouTube, Linkedin LIVE, Instagram, TWITCH, and Facebook Former White House Master Chef Marti Mongiello with his wife, Executive Chef Stormy Mongiello, Museum President, and Tournant Chef Barry Mongiello note: "Food—and drink—tell stories.

Perfected by Executive Chef to the Washington's, Hercules Posey – who later ran away from being a slave. Ingredients:- 1 Quart of heavy cream - 1 Cup of white wine- 6 Tablespoons white sugar - 1 whole nutmeg (grated) or ground nutmeg- 2 Tablespoons of rose water (can be bought or made with hot water and rose petals)- Zest of 1/2 lemon- Sprig of Rosemary- Salt (a pinch) Instructions from the manuscripts given by Franics Parke Custis to Martha Washington: Scald the cream together with the nutmeg, cut in quarters. Remove from the fire and when cool, pour in a glass jar. Let stand overnight. Mix the white wine, rose water, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pour the cream over this and lay in the rosemary and lemon peel. Let stand for five or six hours until the curds form. The modern method: Pour cream into a bowl and beat with a whisk or electric mixer until soft peaks appear. Add the sugar, lemon zest, salt, rose water, nutmeg and beat briefly. Pour in the wine (experiment with sweet or dry wines, etc.) and mix then put into glasses and place into the refrigerator overnight to separate into cool layers. Decorate with more lemon zest and the sprigs of Rosemary. All types of other decorations can be fantasized about and made as well as adding even more whipped cream on top with grated nutmeg. Traditionally served in Syllabub glasses to show off the distinct layers, this recipe was a favorite of all of the revolutionary founding families and frequently offered at elegant affairs at the White House, private first family estates, on Presidential yachts and rail cars, and at the Camp David Resort and Conference Center. A "Whipt Syllabub" of the era would include many different flavor ideas of lemon and strawberry and other ideas and also could be made with egg whites and heavy cream mixed with sugar and wine beaten to a froth.

Why Prime Video may be getting more annoying for some folks
If you're a paid-up member of Amazon Prime and watch stuff on Prime Video, have you noticed anything different lately, such as more ads interrupting your viewing experience? The video streaming service is now showing up to six minutes of ads per hour, double what it was showing when it introduced ads in January 2024, according to a report by AdWeek. Recommended Videos For those following such developments closely, the increase may not come as a big surprise as there were reports as far back as October 2024 suggesting that Amazon was planning to increase the number of ads on Prime Video during this year. When Amazon launched ads nearly 18 months ago, the company made it an opt-out option. This meant that Amazon Prime subscribers who wanted an ad-free experience had to pay an extra $3 a month on top of their annual fee of $139 (or $15 a month). The company said last year that it hadn't seen a sharp drop in subscribers since it launched ads for the service, though with more ads now appearing before, during, and after shows on the streaming service, some disgruntled subscribers may be considering forking out the extra $3 a month to remove the ads, or taking the more drastic step of ditching the service altogether. For Amazon, more ads should lead to an increase in ad revenue, allowing it to invest more money in content and technology that it hopes will lead to a better service for subscribers. The trick, of course, is to strike the right balance between ad frequency and keeping viewers engaged and satisfied with the service. Amazon was slow to the game when it came to launching an ad tier for its video streaming service. Netflix introduced an ad-supported option in November 2022, while Disney+ did the same just a month later. Apple TV+ has yet to offer such a tier. Prime Video currently has a heavier ad load than both Netflix and Disney+, though it's still considerably lighter than regular TV. If there are any signs that Prime Video viewers are turning off due to excessive ads, you can bet that Amazon will respond accordingly.
