Don’t leggo your eggos. Apparently we’re in the midst of the Great Eggo Shortage of ‘09. According to Yahoo Finance, due to flooding at one bakery and technical issues at another, there shall be a shortage of Eggos through next year. And for inspiration, check out this Lego Eggo HERE by Jonathan Eric Hunter (as well as more Lego masterpieces).

Yoga Pose Cookie Cutters

meaghan mountford — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:50:37 +0000

I’ve done many a yoga pose on cookies (I mean, I’ve decorated cookies to look like people in yoga poses at customers’ requests. I’ve not actually done yoga on a cookie.) I cut them all out by hand. Given the near-infinite options of cookie cutters nowadays, it should’ve occurred to me they made yoga pose cutters. Find links to cutters HERE at the kitchn.

Kawaii-Inspired Recipes

Kawaii–as in, cuteness in Japanese, a cultural penchant of Japan since the 1970s, as in, Hello Kitty–translates wonderfully to food. Or maybe I just say that as a foodie. Still, find Halloween recipes at Woman’s Day inspired by Kawaii excerpted from La Carmina’s Cute Yummy Time, like this “evil pumpkin soup.”

Why, why do I find this simple treat utterly brilliant? Is it Frankenberry nostalgia? The pinkness? The “why didn’t I think of that” factor? Regardless, brilliance. Find the recipe HERE at Baking Bites. And while there, check out their clever vampire pancakes.
