In 1985 an ambitious young Mexican-American from California's rural San Joaquin Valley became one of the few Latinos to enter America's most prestigious university. The lessons Ruben Navarette, Jr., learned as he journeyed from his middle-class surroundings to an exclusive 350-year-old world of privilege would forever alter his life. With intelligence and grace, Navarrette chronicles his experiences at Harvard, where he confronted questions of identity and ethnicity, and wrestled with the need to reconcile his values and opinions with the expectations of his family, his race, and society at large. More than a deeply personal memoir, A Darker Shade of Crimson also dares to pursue the complex questions of what needs to be done to provide a quality education for Latinos and other minorities in America. Whatever one's views on affirmative action, racism, and liberal education in this country today, his provocative story will offer a new perspective on these issues and a message of hope for tomorrow's generation. Praise for A Darker Shade of Crimson "Hard-hitting, funny, sad and inspiring."--Chicago Tribune"Powerful . . . for its twofold message: that America must do more to educate Latinos (our fastest-growing minority) and that freedom of thought belongs to everybody."--Kirkus Reviews

Hello Organized Drawer
My husband thought that I was crazy for buying these but I was so tired of the stacked boxes of foil, wrap, parchment paper, Ziplock baggies, etc. getting the drawer stuck and having to reach in a semi-closed drawer and pry the box loose to open the drawer. Now, he wants all the drawers to be as neat and orderly as this one.
While I’m not thrilled about the price point and the finish color (does not match anything I have going on in my kitchen), I do love the product itself. The sliders/cutters are GREAT (12+ uses so far) and don’t leave sharp or jagged edges. The rolls are held in by a panel with small magnets so it’s seamless and easily cleaned/wiped (if needed). I also bought the corresponding Ziplock bag organizers. Another pro of this product: the labels are CLEAR with black font. It sounds like a silly little detail, but it makes a huge difference.
One important note: the 12-in version only holds your traditional foils, clear wrap, and wax paper rolls. Parchment paper WILL NOT fit in the 12-in version. If you want to store parchment paper, you need to buy the longer version bc those rolls are traditionally 14-in in length. Same for non-traditional aluminum foil rolls (like grill size foil).

Great fix for easier cutting and neat drawers
Not only uses less drawer space but greatly improves ability to cut desired length without needing to take it out of the drawer matching bag organizer makes a perfect set long length fits parchment paper and still workdays for standard rolls of foil Now my drawer looks organized and I have enough extra space to store my potholders

Good Holder / cutter
This is good quality build. It cuts well enough. My only issue with it is that Saran wrap doesn't stay on the lip where it gets cut, but that may be the wrap itself, not an issue with the block.

Plastic wrap helper
I use this for parchment paper and plastic wrap. Works good for the parchment paper and it great for the plastic wrap. It is heavy enough so when you pull out the plastic, you can put it over the bowl. Much easier than the cardboard box the plastic wrap comes in.
