I just got an ipod and I know I am so behind the times. But I just love to cook and even clean to the music. It just makes it so much more enjoyable. And now there are these ipods that you can get that hook up under your cabinets. That is something that I am looking into. But if you like to cook - try it to music. Just be sure to concentrate and put that timer on. That is the only draw back - I got a little distracted with the music and I almost ruined my dish. It wasn’t that big of a dish but still!!!
