Automatically get the lowest price on whatever you’re buying


 
 
NEW: InvisibleHand now supports flights. It will automatically hunt for cheaper or more convenient flights when you shop for flights online.InvisibleHand discreetly notifies you if the product or flight you’re shopping for is available more cheaply from another retailer or travel site. The notification provides a convenient link straight to the relevant page on the competing website. InvisibleHand supports over 220 retailers in US, UK and Germany. It also works with the most popular airlines and travel sites in the UK & US and supports over 589 airlines. This money saving extension gets its name from the 18th century economist Adam Smith's concept of the invisible hand of the market. Smith didn't have Google Chrome to help prove his point, but we hope he would approve. Starting from version 0.1.4 InvisibleHand shows a price notification when you perform product searches on Google. And when you search for a product, that product can appear in your list of ‘recently viewed’ products at a retailer. You can disable this feature in the options. InvisibleHand is also available for Firefox from: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11377?src=external-chromegallery
InvisibleHand also enables you to (optionally) share deals via Twitter, Facebook & Email. If you find a deal that you want to share, just click the 'Share Deal' button in the InvisibleHand notification.

Ina Garten's Espresso Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • 3 cups half-and-half
  • 6 extra-large egg yolks
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons ground espresso coffee beans, decaffeinated or regular
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces (1/2 cup) chocolate-covered espresso beans, chopped

Directions

Heat the half-and-half until it forms bubbles around the edge of the pan and steam starts to rise. Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until mixed. Slowly add the hot half-and-half until combined. Wipe out the pan and pour the mixture back into the clean pan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 5 to 10 minutes, until it's thickened and the cream coats the back of the spoon.
Pour the cream through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl. Add the ground espresso beans and vanilla and refrigerate until completely chilled.

Pour the espresso cream into an ice-cream freezer and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Mix in the chopped espresso beans, spoon into a container, and allow to freeze for a few hours. Soften slightly before serving.
