Happy Tuesday everyone!
Before I give you the coveted Lemon Grissini Cookie Recipe, I'd like to mention that friend, blogger and all-around super-hero mum Libby* of The Allergic Kid is giving away a copy of Food Allergies and Me. I know many of my readers are in regular contact with children who have severe to life-threatening food allergies, and this book by Juniper Skinner is for them. Food Allergies and Me describes safe ways for kids to react to and live with their allergies, so go visit The Allergic Kid and throw your name in the "comment box hat" for your chance to win a copy.
Despite accidentally posting rather than saving my first draft (holy typos Batman!) the first installment of Les Vendredis Francophones was a huge success! So funny how the most popular posts are often those with the least comments, don't you think? I know it's taken me a while to get this translation up, but believe me, these are more than worth the wait.
These cookies are by far one of our favourites – they are Monsieur F's absolute favourite. Perhaps it's thanks to their simplicity? Just lovely lemon and a hint of sweet. The Italian word grissini describes what is commonly known in North America as the humble bread stick (or so says Wiki). It's true here in France, and gressin describes a little cigar or, well, bread stick-type shape. This recipe has been translated from Italian to French (now to English), has been veganised and revised, but has held up just fine!
Quick, easy and perfect, you'll be making these time and again…
Lemon Grissini Cookies
For about 20 grissinis
350 g AP flour
11 g baking powder
140 g sugar
110 g dairy-free butter
2 teaspoons Ener-G (enough to replace 2 eggs)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
the zest of one lemon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1) Pre-heat your oven to 180°c and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silplats.
2) Sift the flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Mix the other ingredients in a bowl until the mixture is smooth, then add this mixture to the flour, and continue mixing until the batter becomes smooth (it'll stay together if you pinch it, even if it's still a little crumbly).
3) Lightly flour your hands, then form small cigar-shaped cookies, about 12 cm long (if it's a little warm in your kitchen and your dough is sticky, just put it in the fridge for about 15 minutes). Bake them for about 10 to 13 minutes or until they are firm to the touch, turning the baking sheet half-way through baking time. Let them cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet before gently transferring to a cooling rack.
4) Once they have cooled you can decorate with the optional lemon icing.
Lemon Icing
100 g powdered sugar
lemon juice
Using a fork, ix the sifted powdered sugar with the lemon juice, adding one tablespoon at a time until you've reached a "drizzle-friendly" consistency. Drizzle the grissini with icing and allow the icing to set. If you dare.
*Why does Libby get super-hero status in my book? Her sweet son has life-threatening food allergies. Just let those words sink in, kids : life-threatening. All parents fear the dangers that lurk around the paths their children take daily to school, to play, daycare and sleep-overs, but with grace, courage and humor Libby shares her trials and triumphs with other "allergy moms" (and dads), almost making it look easy. I say, chapeau.

Looking to purchase fireworks? You have definitely come to the right place! Wayne is amazing, he really knows his fireworks and offered to put my order together for me as i didn't have a clue what to buy! Delivery was the same day I submitted my order and again, Wayne was brilliant with providing information and advice on safety and the best way to set the fireworks up. And the most important bit of all....the fireworks were FANTASTIC! Unfortunately I don't know the names of the ones we had to recommend to you but they really were the best fireworks I or my family and friends have ever bought. The perfect end to a surprise party for my husband. Fireworks shop - you are amazing! Thank you so much again for your awesome customer service and amazing fireworks :)

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—Just in time for Christmas, scientists have confirmed a vast amount of ice at the north pole—on Mercury, the closest planet to the sun.
The findings are from NASA's Mercury-orbiting probe, Messenger, and the subject of three scientific papers released Thursday by the journal Science.
The frozen water is located in regions of Mercury's north pole that always are in shadows, essentially impact craters. It's believed the south pole harbors ice as well, though there are no hard data to support it. Messenger orbits much closer to the north pole than the south.
"If you add it all up, you have on the order of 100 billion to 1 trillion metric tons of ice," said David Lawrence of the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University. "The uncertainty on that number is just how deep it goes."
The ice is thought to be at least 1 1/2 feet deep—and possibly as much as 65 feet deep.
There's enough polar ice at Mercury, in fact, to bury an area the size of Washington, D.C., by two to 2 1/2 miles deep, said Lawrence, the lead author of one of the papers.
"These are very exciting results," he added at a news conference.
For two decades, radar measurements taken from Earth have suggested the presence of ice at Mercury's poles. Now scientists know for sure, thanks to Messenger, the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury.
The water almost certainly came from impacting comets, or possibly asteroids. Ice is found at the surface, as well as buried under a dark material.
Messenger was launched in 2004 and went into orbit 1 1/2 years ago around Mercury, where temperatures reach 800 degrees. NASA hopes to continue observations well into next year.
Columbia University's Sean Solomon, principal scientist for Messenger, stressed that no one is suggesting that Mercury might hold evidence of life, given the presence of water. But the latest findings may help explain how water and other building blocks of life arrived elsewhere in the solar system, he said.
Mercury is becoming the subject of new interest "where it wasn't much of one before," Solomon said.

Surefire storage
Sure, you can hang 'em high. But there are lots of other places to use shelves to gain spots for storage, art and anything else that adds ease or personality to your home.
Here, a slim DIY shelf organizes mail and keys in the entry. A rustic floorboard sits on a trio of sleek brackets.
Tight-area solutions
Because they are easily cut to size, shelves add storage in awkward spots. Squeeze them in any little nook -- between cabinets, under stairs, in odd angles.
Bright spots
This unit is the perfect height for under a window, but simple shelves attached to the wall would work as well.
Stylish substitute
Salvaged and repainted shelves in the kitchen are an economical substitute for upper cabinets.
Spicy spots
This 4-inch-deep built-in spice rack tucks between the bottom of upper cabinets and the counter. Label the lids for ease.
Decorative display
Crown your wall covering with a row of shelves designed to complement decorative elements that you don't need often—except for the charm they add!
Skirt the issue
This tropical-punch unit makes a great outdoor bar. The skirt conceals barware that doesn't deserve to be on display.
Hot style
A marble slab tops a radiator for much-needed storage in a bathroom. It is pretty and practical.
Sunshiny view
A simple shelf adds country charm without blocking sunny views. Need a place to grow herbs to snip for cooking? Perch the pots in front of a window.
Neat niche
A niche in an alcove keeps cooking needs at hand. Slip one or two between wall studs.
No nightstand?
No worries. Just hang a shelf bedside. Dreamy molding adds easy personality.
Lend a hand
A wooden dowel hung between brackets creates a handy spot for a hand towel above a bathroom sink.
Wow your walls
A wall of shelves equals a vast amount of storage. Break it up with a mix of items: art, books, vases, photos.
Clearly impressive
Lots of tile in a kitchen or bathroom doesn't mean you can't add storage. These clean-lined brackets support glass shelves that clearly add style and function.
Get some get up and go
Hanging shelves above a small part of kitchen real estate makes for a breakfast or coffee station.
Freeing possibilities
A wrought-iron rack adds storage and country charm. The black and wood pop in the white decor.
Attic bedroom
Black paint updates the iron bed in the attic bedroom of this Minnesota home; orange pillows add seasonal color.
Salvage space
Purchased units are great, but so are salvage pieces. Here, an antique files away papers. Different kinds of shelves combine for practical and visually interesting storage.
Punchy rows
Brightened with wallpaper and bold color, these plate rails are attached to the wall like a shelving unit, supplying stylish storage.
Down low
A base cabinet doesn't need doors. Leave it open for easy access.
This former bookcase now works as a pantry positioned as a transitional element between kitchen and eating area.

I've been having a great time playing Starcraft 2's campaign this week – I was really bummed to only get one mission done last night but I had some trouble with it and had to restart. Sure, I'm playing easy mode but I still feel like I'm playing the game.
Anyway as we're getting flashbacks and cinematics explaining who Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, is, and what's she's up to, little "this seems familiar" bells are going off. Powerful female warrior, risks everything in defense of her cause, then defeated, left to die – but no, it's worse, instead she is transformed into what she most hates and becomes the embodiment and leader of it? Hmmm. Sylvanas, is that you?
Now some Forsaken loyalists may accuse me of being unfair with my further characterizations here but bear with me.
I'm a writer. I work on novels sometimes (like in November; plug for http://www.nanowrimo.org, National Novel Writing Month). I'm totally into characters and characterization, and I'm loving Starcraft for the amount of character interaction they put into each little cut scene. Each character is recognizable and different and the way Raynor interacts with everyone on his ship is great – each interaction is slightly different. He doesn't talk to his old friend the way he talks to a new ally. It's awesome.
So why, oh why, are the very few female roles so – well – weak? I'm not talking about how apparently women are medics or fly med transports (or, yes, the Banshees. Yeah.) Or the way the medics speak – dripping with innuendo even in innocent lines. Whatever. The Thor sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger; they're not going for realism.
So far in Starcraft, I've encountered three females: one mercenary who I had a mission to pay off (she was creepy as hell and hasn't been seen since), the aforementioned Queen of
undead Blades, and a scientist chick who I had along for a while. Now, when it came time for her to leave, I had a choice of missions and I picked the one that lead to her [spoiler!] getting turned in a zerg and killed. So that doesn't help my perception of the game so far.
Then look at World of Warcraft. I can think of precisely two female leader-hero type characters: Sylvanas and Jaina. Jaina may not be a victim-villain-bitch, but she's not much to recommend her sex either. We're talking about a character whose defining characteristic is "I used to date Arthas and I abandoned him at Stratholme and feel guilty as hell about it". Realistic character? Maybe so; I think feeling guilty is reasonable and I liked Jaina just fine up until the Halls of Reflection, where she went all angsty -"No, I must know if he can be redeemed!" Since then, I've seen her once, showing up after we kill Saurfang and being Varian's cheerleader-slash-mommy, simultaneously patronizing the leader of the Alliance and demeaning herself.
Where are the women with stories as complicated and interesting as Thrall, as Tirion Fordring, heck, even as compelling as Thassarian or Varian Wrynn?
My guess is it just doesn't occur to the writers that there's anything missing. Kerrigan, Sylvanas and Jaina are all powerful women. They lead factions or movements, wield power, stand toe-to-toe with male counterparts, yes – but as characters, they are ridiculous caricatures. And they don't have to be. Blizzard does an awesome job creating stories in a medium that doesn't lend itself to real character development. You'll never confuse Thrall with Garrosh, Tirion Fordring with Darion Mograine – so could they take just a little of that ability, maybe talk to a woman or two, and create a woman who isn't a victim?
Or am I just being overly critical?

Can Cleveland break through the Team Irrelevant tag?
One day a year, at the end of the draft, the final selection -- Alabama's
Ramzee Robinson won the honor April 29 -- is Mr. Irrelevant.
All year almost every year lately, the Cleveland Browns have been Team
They're an official NFL member, but with records of 2-14, 3-13, 7-9, 9-7,
5-11, 4-12, 6-10 and 4-12, who cares?
Never is there a shortage of talk about one hex or another dogging Cleveland
pro sports.
No World Series for the Indians since 1948? Fired Manager Bobby Bragan
applied a curse.
The Cavs? Nice 2007 run, but still no NBA titles in 38 years? The curse of
Ted Stepien.
Browns? Bolted without ever tasting a Super Bowl; now a worst-case expansion
Maybe what they need is a blessing. Maybe the one involving five-time Pro
Bowl defensive lineman Bob Gain will do the trick. His marriage was blessed
recently at Cleveland Browns Stadium, on his 55th anniversary.
The Browns desperately need to get remarried to their past. For Gain, it is
no yellowed photograph; it's between his ears in high-def. The images and
the blood are real. As in:
"There were a few dirty players then," Gain says, "and everybody knew who
they were. Officials weren't all over the field. There was a referee, a head
linesman and one guy in the backfield."
Dirty tricks?
"If the official wasn't looking," Gain said, "it happened."
Dirty Browns?
"We played by the rules," he said, "but if your approach was, 'I will change
the rules for my benefit,' our response was, 'We will change the rules for
our benefit.' "
The Browns absorbed some infamous shots. Future Hall of Famers Len Ford and
Otto Graham got their faces smashed. One time, retaliating to a dirty trick,
Gain accidentally broke a teammate's nose. He said he was sorry.
No apologies necessary from the Browns for the era in which Gain played.
From the time he joined them in 1951 to the time he left them in 1964, their
records were 11-1, 8-4, 11-1, 9-3, 9-2-1, 5-7, 9-2-1, 9-3, 7-5, 8-3-1,
8-5-1, 7-6-1, 10-4 and 10-3-1. They were in the NFL title game six times.
They won championships that equated to Super Bowls three times.
It was a mistake to mess with those Browns. Lately, mostly, they have been a
Gain still loves them like a son. He's the type of personality who would
take his wife to the football stadium for their 55th anniversary.
Bob and Kitty Gain were married in Kentucky, on June 16, 1952. The presiding
judge charged $2.
Their renewal of vows this June 16 at Cleveland Browns Stadium was
officiated by Judge Dick Ambrose, a Browns linebacker from 1975-83. Ambrose
didn't charge anything, but, Gain says, "I had to feed the (so-and-so)."
Some Browns from the relevant era witnessed the ceremony. Dante Lavelli
caught passes in 10 straight seasons ending with league championship games.
Jim Houston helped the 1964 team shut out the Colts in the championship
game. Don Cockroft kicked in two NFL title games.
The ceremony unfolded at midfield. They went from the field to a nice place
in the stadium. It was a lucky day. The Oak Room has a piano. One of the
guests is a piano player.
Gain is an ornery romantic. About promising Kitty "from here to eternity"
"If I go first," he told her, "I'll be up there hiding from you."
"No cloud," she replied, "is big enough to hide you."
It has been forever since the Browns were really good. Fans are way hungrier
than a judge at a 55th anniversary bash.
You could tell from the way they packed a Canton Browns Backers dinner at
the Hall of Fame -- Gain was there.
You could tell from the way they over-ran the Hall on Wednesday for a meet and greet with
Browns rookies. Nobody guessed the crowd would get way too big to
manage. Autograph hounds swarmed over players. The Steelers can only dream
of pressuring Brady Quinn the way some of these people did.
Cars stuffed the lots and spilled to so many makeshift parking spots you'd
have thought there was a game in Fawcett Stadium. One woman pushed a baby
stroller at the edge of a narrow lane with cars bunched up dangerously.
Inside, people who had paid to get in and had bought little helmets wanting
autographs got angry when they couldn't even get close to Quinn.
People jostled around wondering if such and such who looked like a football
player was so and so -- although with huge first-round pick Joe Thomas, you
could tell.
People got mad while standing in a crowd while the schmoe up front asked if
Quinn could make out the third autograph, "To my good friend Uncle Larry."
Amid the glitches and frustrations of a borderline unruly crowd came another
What? People care about the Browns again?
Once again, an agent is singing the blues about a contract signed with no
guns to anyone's head. Larry Johnson's agent told the Kansas City Star it
is "not good business" for the running back to play for $1.7 million in 2007
after rushing for more than 1,700 yards in each of the last two seasons.
No doubt, the man was a beast in his breakout season of 2005, averaging 5.2
yards a carry and scoring 21 touchdowns. His follow-up season wasn't as good
-- his per-carry average plunged almost a yard -- but it was still very good.
And, it's fair for Johnson to worry that his heavy workload and punishing
style could lead to erosion that make teams wary when his contract expires,
and he can hope for free agency riches. Johnson will turn 28 in November.
A contract is a contract, but perhaps there is a fair compromise. The Chiefs
can ask for a refund of the salary he drew as a rookie in 2003, when he gave
them next to nothing. Then, they can refund that on the spot and say,
"Here's an extra million dollars to help you shut up and play."
Offseason moves hurt Indianapolis and helped New England, at least in the
view of one wagering service. BetUS.com puts longer odds against winning
Super Bowl XLII on the defending champion Colts (7-to-1) than it does on the
Patriots (3-to-1).
Other teams with relatively short odds include the Chargers (6-to-1), Ravens
(15-to-1) and Bears (15-to-1).
The Browns are gaining a little steam. Odds against them winning the Super
Bowl are 70 to 1. That's not far off a few 60-to-1 teams (Chiefs, Bucs,
Rams, Titans) and more optimistic than odds against the Bills and Vikings
(80-to-1), Texans (100-to-1) and Raiders (150-to-1).
It's no surprise to see a great linebacker wearing No. 55. Junior Seau has
worn it well. Ditto Willie McGinest.
Heads turned, however, when the face of the Bears, Brian Urlacher, turned up
in No. 55 for the final practice before summer break. Urlacher has worked on
Hall of Fame credentials while wearing No. 54.
The Bears got to the Super Bowl with No. 55 on the back of Lance Briggs.
Briggs is still a Bear, albeit one who skipped voluntary activities and
threatens a holdout if he doesn't start getting paid like a key member of an
elite defense.
Urlacher did a fly pattern away from reporters wondering what he meant by
donning No. 55. Head Coach Lovie Smith played dumb, saying, "Did (Urlacher)
have on No. 55?"
It remains to be seen whether Briggs, who lasted until Round 3 of the 2003
draft, is a superstar or the product of a clever system arranged by a former
Tulsa linebacker named Lovie.
When Keenan McCardell was drafted in a round that no longer exists and
suffered a knee injury that wrecked his would-be rookie year, it seemed he
would never make it in the NFL. Now it seems he will never leave.
McCardell, who will turn 38 before the next Super Bowl, was being courted by
multiple teams, including the Redskins and Texans, at week's end.
The Houston native was one of Bill Belichick's early finds. He gave the 1995
Browns 709 receiving yards. He was a 10th-year pro when he had a career-high
1,207 yards with the Jaguars. McCardell originally came out of UNLV, where
rookie Browns cornerback Eric Wright played in 2006.
It will be interesting to see if Mike Ditka uses a Monday Night Football
platform to press his attack on Gene Upshaw, director of the players union.
Ditka is the most visible among the numerous older ex-players who think
Upshaw has done an awful job with retirement issues.
Ditka will do game analysis foe ESPN in the second game of ESPN's
opening-week Monday Night Football doubleheader. The former Bears player and
coach has a chance for is biggest audience yet on the retirement topic.
According to Sports Illustrated, more people are likely to watch Ditka's
game than watched the NBA finals games between the Spurs and Cavs.

Racing Mark Grace may have never won the Arizona Diamondbacks' Legends Race, but at least he can now claim a victory in the Washington Nationals presidents race.
Despite being in the Nationals Park press box for Fox Sports Arizona, the Dbacks veteran and broadcaster failed to respond to a challenge from the racing presidents; so Honest Abe took things into his own hands.
After Wednesday night's race, the presidents held up signs saying "Racing Gracie = No Show," and "He Must Be Scared."
On Thursday, Lincoln emerged for the fourth inning presidents race wearing a makeshift "Racing Gracie" mask. The great emancipator then proceeded to smoke his competition, earning a first victory of sorts for the hard-luck Legend.
After winning the game and yet another series, the Nationals are riding high entering Take Back the Park Weekend, which kicks off Friday night vs. the Phillies. The effort has drawn national attention, and most recently led D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray to issue a proclamation declaring an official "Natitude Weekend." With Stephen Strasburg set to kick off the festivities Friday night, Nationals Park should be rocking, and fans should leave extra time to get to the park.

The Indie Store has launched!
Amazon.com is launching a storefront dedicated to supporting and promoting PC/Mac/Web-based Indie Games. Our Digital Video Games team is a small group of passionate gamers and we're all really excited to help Indie developers reach more customers quickly by providing a quick and simple process for bringing their games to market. Additionally we'll be supporting the Indie Store with a ton of promotions, both at and after launch. Many of these promotions are designed to give the developer the opportunity to maximize their revenue. For example, Amazon is forfeiting all royalties from bundle sales and passing them along directly to the developer, we've also created an "Indie Spotlight" program to help customers learn more about the games and developers they love. We view the Indie developers as some of the most creative in the industry and we want to help them continue to create new and innovative experience for customers.
Why we are doing this:
- Allow customers to discover an entirely new category of games on Amazon.com
- Help developers reach new customers quickly. Our onboarding process is straightforward and we want to sell every Indie game available
- We want to leverage our strengths to support and help the developers who are driving forward innovation and creativity in the games industry
Price Promotions:
The landing page for this sale can be found here. I'll start posting a full list of deals by date at the bottom of this post, expect lots of edits.
Gift With Purchase:
Each day, for 42 days from launch (6/6-7/17) customers who purchase any game from our Indie Store (excluding free games like 16-bit Arena) will receive 3 free games. For example, customers who purchase any Indie Game from our Indie Store between 6/6-6/10 will receive "Dynasty of Dusk", "The Curse of Nordic Cove" and "Huntsman: The Orphange" (a pre-order title), for free. Note the 3 free games do not change daily, new games will be introduced throughout the course of the promotion, for different time periods.
Indie Spotlight:
This is the program I'm most excited about. We've asked many of our launch partners to answer a set of questions about themselves to give the Indie community better insight into the creative minds behind these Indie games. The responses have been absolutely phenomenal. The landing page for the Spotlight is here.
General Information
Hi CAGs,
I'll be posting deals we're running on Digital Games (PC/Mac, Free to Play, Sony/Microsoft Points/Subs).
I'm also here to answer questions you might have, get you closer to the developers by hosting Q&As, setting up podcasts, live streaming gameplay etc. If I don't respond to a question you have in thread please send me a PM. These ping my email address and make it more likely that I will see your question and respond more quickly.
FYI. EA Games sold by Amazon will not activate on Steam.
1. Does the game I'm buying from Amazon Activate on Steam/Origin/Uplay? What DRM does the game use?
There are two places to identify DRM on a digital video game detail page:
At the top of the page, below the title:
In the "Product Description" section:
2. Note on Electronic Arts Games - For the most part, EA games sold on Amazon do not activate on Steam. Most activate on Origin.
3. Note on DRM with limited activations:
Our Policy
4. Sometimes I'll do giveaways.
5. I work with developers and publishers to get fun (or at least what I think is fun) content to share with you all. Here are some examples:
a. Check out the Pax Gameplay videos here: Xcom: Enemy Unknown I played Xcom with Jake, the Creative Director for the game, a few months before the game came out Also, on this page, check out the Q&A, also a community driven event.
b. Check out the interview on this page: Borderlands 2 we did this interview at E3 with Randy Pitchford this year.
c. We've partnered with the ++GoodGames Podcast to feature many of the games we carry. They talk to the developers about the game development process, how the games are conceptualized and managed, all kinds of fun stuff. I'm working on putting together full link list and will update when I have it.

Benjamin and his staff made it pleasure to work with them through my financing term. Very quick to respond to my messages and questions. I'm a mortgage broker in L.A. and it's rare to find such positive follow through and an open channel of communication, which always resulted in accomplishment. Thanks again Land Direct .
Stephanie E.
I am very grateful to Land Direct USA and Ben for the opportunity to purchase land! They were very helpful and very quick. I first was going to finance and then decided to pay in full and they changed that for me very easily and were very pleasant to work with. They were very patient with answering all my questions very quickly! I am very glad to be able to carry out all the business online and through email and a few phone calls. I am very appreciative of how easy this whole process was to purchase my first property. I definitely recommend Land Direct USA to anyone interested in real estate and property and I look forward to being able to purchase more some time in the future perhaps!
Payne M.
Easy to buy low price land and make payments until it's paid off. Note: though, fully research the information about the land. I bought one that does not have direct road access no essment I will have to see county for that or ask the other land owners for permission to go across their property to get to the roaf. Land Direct is Friendly and fast though. Customer service is by live phone call or texting. Also by E-mail. A homeless solution for poor and homeless folks. Bless their hearts at. Land Direct ! 😇🤔👍😍🙏🌎💞

Excellent place to buy land if your not wanting to get a loan. Very professional and will work with you. Highly recommend.
I recently bought a 1/5 acre cabin lot from these fine people. The property was and is exactly what they advertized it to be. They are friendly and quick to answer questions. They keep their word and are trustworthy. I would buy from them again without hesitation. 5 Stars!

I know sometimes we have bad experiences but not this one it was perfect.
Butch K.
I was a little leary of buying property online but this relationship with Ben and land direct usa put all my fears to rest. It took 2 years for my purchase to be complete and I would highly recommend this company for your land purchase, right down to the final filing at the local land deed office that they took care of and paid for. Have no fear. You can really trust this company.
Joanna H.
Like many people, during the Covid lockdown, my husband and I got restless and began reevaluating what we wanted to do with our lives. One little "pipe dream" we always had was to buy a piece of remote land somewhere beautiful and isolated. In March 2021, I began looking online for cheap land and what I found was a lot of "scammy" sites. Then I found Ben at Land Direct USA. The process was super easy. I found a parcel I liked, sent an inquiry, and was able to get the paperwork and send a deposit immediately. Ben's assistant Nyzy is extremely responsive. They even gave us a grace period in which we could go check out the land in person and if it wasn't what we expected, we could choose something else. We visited the parcel in Arizona a few weeks later and it was exactly what had been in photos — even staked out. I set the small monthly payments on Autopay and was surprised to hear from Nyzy a couple weeks ago telling me my final payment had been made and sending me the paperwork for the deed to be recorded in our names.This is cheap, undeveloped land — but it's a little spot we like to visit and dream up future projects like an off grid cabin.The whole process was seamless, I found Ben & Nyzy extremely trustworthy and informative, and I wish they'd move into the Nevada land market because I would happily buy more parcels from them but don't understand the auction process well enough to acquire land the way they do. They handle everything. Nurture your little pipe dream!
James W.
Very helpful, simple, supportive and easy process, made even easier by being online. All this from being out in the UK
Carlton M.
We purchased 3 properties for Ben and his associates via land direct we have visited the properties an the properties are what we expected. His company makes the purchase process a smooth sailing one that takes 3 to 5 minutes to complete the purchase process. He has worked with us in a professional, clear, concise way. Payment plans have been doable, no pressure sales and same day replies to questions or concerns you might have. Doing business with honest parties is a blessing without question thank you guys. Looking forward to purchasing more properties from them.Carlton and Dina
Fatima H.
AWESOME company for every step of the process! 1) Website has detailed info (vs. generic or sparse listings). 2) Real, actual human beings (not bots) follow up with you promptly and directly. 3) They offer a warranty deed (not some rando pulling a fast one online or listing land with title issues) that is filed at the appropriate local office. 4) No realtor fees - they pay the filing fee and mail you your deed. 5) They offer cash AND locked financing deals (which I didn't need, but was good they offered it). Overall, everything is clear, detailed, promptly taken care of, and not only do they have stellar reviews/reputation on Google/BBB, they offer some guarantee/buyback opportunities if you aren't happy. Was nervous about going down this path (first time), but was impressed with their competence and service - would buy from them again and recommend it to others! *They recommend you actually check out the land in person before purchase, which I did, to get a realistic idea of what you're getting and what improvements you'd need to make.
Dem T.
Ben is the man what a GREAT experience buying land from Ben and the team. My land is worth more money and i'm feel Good about my investment. i will buy here at Land Direct USA again.

I have purchased several lots with LandDirect. Always a positive experience. Excellent customer service. Very happy and will continue to buy land from them.
Vera S.
They make it really easy to buy land, Nyzy and Ben are both very responsive and you can always reach them when you call. No robot to deal with just real people on the other line. I had a really good experience.Make sure to do your due diligence on the land, there are some lots on this website that are not worth a penny, but other lots are great deals. I would not recommend purchasing until you have physically been to the lot and read the restrictions and bylaws first. This will save you heartache in the long run.I will continue to purchase land from these fine folks.
Michelle aka el W.
From horror stories that I've read online regarding buying real estate on contracts/rent to own etc, the proof of a good, honest seller is in what happens at the very end once the buyer has made their last payment. Prior to me making it, everything had been absolutely 100%, and I'm very glad to report that nothing changed. Ben and his team contacted me promptly for the deed details and recorded it without any problems - I would recommend this company without hesitation.
John P
Who knew buying land was just as easy as buying something on Amazon. The staff was great to work with. Thanks again.

I bought a small lot from them in Texas. the experiences are very easy and fast. honestly, I felt unreal, buying a piece of property like buying a toy.
Can't thank you ben enough for making the land purchase such a seamless process, I strongly recommend Ben to any one who trying to invest in landed property.
David M.
I acquired land in El Paso, Texas from Land Direct USA and it was a super smooth and straightforward process. I am a first-time buyer, so I was very hesitant at first about buying land from a website. However, Ben made the whole buying process super easy to follow and complete. No middleman, no hidden fees, or any type of sketchy documents. If you are looking to buy land at very good price from the comfort of your home this is the right place. Just a few clicks and digital signatures and you will become a landowner!100% Recommended/ I will buy land from him again in a future.
Allan B.
I just purchased an acre!!..Thanks to Ben and his team at Land Direct for their professionalism, courtesy and speedy processing of my documents. I am ready to purchase my next property. Hahaha
Tina L.
I purchased two adjoining lots in Show Low, Arizona. Ben and his staff were fantastic to deal with, and promptly returned my calls or emails with any questions I had. Additionally, Ben was very accommodating when I had an issue making a payment thanks to this Covid mess, and was willing to work with me to get the payments back on track. Excellent customer service, it's nice to deal with a professional team that also remembers to be human beings. If I ever needed more properties? I would check with Land Direct USA first. Absolute pleasure to deal with. And my land is gorgeous! Can't wait to semi-retire up there!
Nanci S.
Super easy transactionHe walked us through the whole thing. Now we have land in Arizona ! Thanks a bunch.

I found Ben's company and was so freaked out about it because of all of the lies and scams on the internet. I didn't call for a month but i kept looking at the property. i sought Jesus, through prayer, for 3 months about buying from him. I finally got peace about it. Ben was very patient with my skepticism and delay while I prayed about it. He was willing to help in anyway he could which is rare in today's businesses. Ben and Kelsey care about people over money. That is the kind of people I only want to do business with. In a world that is very greedy, untrustworthy and impatient I am very greatful to thier company for being kind and forth coming. Ben nor Kelsey ever tried to sell me. I like that too. They were just there to answer my skeptical questions and very patiently waited until I heard from the Lord. Thank you guys.
Vernon R.
Ben was on top of everything. I'm very happy with my experience. Very easy with no hassles. I will definitely recommend him to my friends and family looking for property.Thank you
Howard B.
Hello land direct USA,My expierence has been fantastically great. This company is the best for purchase of land by contract. My church was looking for a few acres to do an urban suburban farming project with a few green houses. And land direct worked with us in very positive ways. I would certainly use them again to find and finance some other land in the snow line in northern Arizona.Sincerly,Reverend Howard BoyerSaint George Chapel Fellowship
Kathy R.
Just bought a land in Kingman Az....very easy process...very well explained...great pictures of actual land and all the surrounding....easy payment plan to choose from....great experience all around...Thank you Ben
Joseph B.
Ben makes purchasing property easy. I was nervous at first buying a property without visiting it. However with his 30 day policy of refunding, or even after that, you can trade one for another it helped me go ahead and grab the ones I wanted. Anyway, I finally visited a 2 acer property I purchased through Ben, and now our family is looking forward to spending the Holiday weekend up there camping near Ash Fork. Of course, the properties I bought from him are probably better than the ones you will find because I bought all the good ones... (Just Kidding of Course). But really, exciting to own some cheap land, I look forward to posting again after I'm done paying off the properties and it is 100% in my name.
Cheryl K.
This has been the easiest transaction I have ever made in my life. Thank you, Ben, for answering all of my questions and making this so incredibly easy. I became a landowner in just 3 hours....lol. You can't ask for anything more simple than that.

When I saw the property I wanted, the purchase process was so simple and easy to use! I responded to the link, and got a response once my down payment posted. Being able to e sign made it so easy and convenient! And now I am a proud property owner! Awesome!

Totally legit. Accurate description of property and excellent buying experience. Personal service from a knowledgeable seller with no hidden costs. Title transfer done in prompt and professional manner. I can wholeheartedly recommend doing business with Ben Davis and Land Direct USA as a satisfied customer. Owning a piece of America gives peace of mind in an unsure world.
Mr Davis is very professional and very "matter-of-fact" in his dealings. We purchased a parcel of land in AZ and he assisted and informed us of all the things we needed to know before the purchase. Overall, we had a beautiful experience!

I have done business with Ben Davis for 2 years on 2 land deals. He is a man of his word and nobody is more honest. Everything he has told me in representing his properties has been exactly what he said it was.Land direct USA works hard to have the best variety of land for the best price. Ben Davis also has the best financing options. I will continue to do business with Ben Davis and Land Direct USA. Thank you Ben.

What I can say about Ben Davis and Land Direct USA is that he's really made it a stunningly efficient, very comfortable process to buy land. Seeing his ad on Facebook after a friend saw and forwarded it to us, we contacted him, and his response was immediate. We were amazed at how easy Ben made the process of buying land. It was so well coordinated, everything dovetailed together seamlessly. After our request for more information, we completed a short application online, and after approval, made a down payment also online, then the document review of contract, e-signing of sales agreement/land contract and setting it up for auto payment. From when we were made aware of the property for sale, (and there was a 35 minute or so time lag because I didn't have my phone on me to receive the very prompt callback) beginning at 8:42 am to 2:43 pm. 6 hours from seeing the ad to receiving confirmation text that we could move onto the property whenever we were ready. Wow! Everything so easily handled was EXACTLY what we needed just then. Ben Davis and Land Direct USA provided an amazingly fast, comfortable and trouble free experience in a very professional manner, all from the comfort of a smartphone in the palm of our hand. Thanks Ben. We're grateful for your help, and would not hesitate to refer our friends and family to do business with you. And encourage others to do the same.

My husband and I have purchased 2 properties from Ben in Kingman. He is very professional and helpful. The sale was quick and simple. Great guy to work with. If anyone is looking for property Ben is the one to see. He is a Super guy to do business with. We have referred 3 others to him and their experiences were the same as ours . I highly recommend him to anyone looking at property.

I'm buying a property threw Ben in the Mohave desser . I'll be honest I saw the property I waned, purchased it from him he was quick about everything very self explanator with all the questions I asked and very professional, good guy to work with. And later down the road the best part about it was I got a $200.00 discount off the balance I owe on my property. Like I mentioned really good person to work with.-Ramon-
