I have been seeing more and more menu plan sharing across the blogosphere of late. A new trend? It does inspire me to get more on the ball and actually plan meals rather than groan “what do you want for dinner tonight?” Flutterbys and Frogs sent me a link to their new “Feed Me Mom” Monday menu plan link up… Read More ...
Hot Chocolate from The Ticket Kitchen
I’ve been following the fabulous blog, The Giver’s Log, for awhile, and have often featured their ideas here. So when I saw that they opened a shop to sell fine hot chocolate on a stick, I had to share with you of course. Check out their gorgeous site and store, and their equally gorgeous hot chocolate on a stick: The … Read More ...

Just to recap some of the food photo sharing sites we’ve discussed thus far, you got your tastespotting, foodgawker, tasteologie, photograzing, iShareFunFood…. Have you heart of Dishfolio? I had not until someone mentioned it in my Food Bloggers listserv group (specifically, Kristen of Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. Thanks, Kristen!) Food photo sharing sites are a great way … Read More ...
Football Party Table
Spaceships and Laserbeams just keeps coming up with fantastic parties. Check out their Football themed table for say, the upcoming Super Bowl. (Um, the Super Bowl is coming up, right?) I love the vintage feel.
I think my favorites might be those football player cupcakes. Or the bags of pretzels. No, the popcorn jars with the field labels. Hmm. Undecided.… Read More ...
A Message to Dish Network DC re: Martha Bakes
Dear Dish Network in Washington, DC, Please, please, give us the Hallmark Channel. Not only am I missing Golden Girls and Little House on the Prairie, but I’ve not seen The Martha Stewart Show in months. And I just learned that Martha Bakes is premiering January 31st. Martha Bakes. Do you know what I do? I bake. Cookies… Read More ...
Got Milk? All the Ads and a Cool Site
The Got Milk? campaign, created in 1993 for the California Milk Processor Board is one of the most successful and recognizable ad campaigns ever. Creative Criminals has compiled an almost-complete collection of all the famous-people-with-milk-mustaches Got Milk? ads (click HERE). Scrolling through the collection is pretty impressive.

As one who is quite easily starstruck, though I forcibly act with casual indifference (such as following Keanu Reeves through the streets of Georgetown–he gave money to a homeless man–or pretending it was no big deal when I saw Steve Martin leaving a club, banjo in hand, in Manhattan), I must direct your attention back to THIS post on the … Read More ...
Breathable Chocolate

Read about the fascinating work of Thierry Marx and his efforts to create “new ways to prepare, visualize and consume foods” HERE at BoingBoing, excerpted from David Edwards’s book, The Lab: Creativity and Culture. Specifically, see the journey of breathable chocolate from idea to Le Whif.

Gummi Heart and the Candyman
The inventor of the Jelly Belly (you know, those wee size flavored jelly beans that blow all other jelly beans away?), David Klein, created this gummi version of an anatomical heart that actually oozes candy blood. Of course my first thought was Eeeew (the point, I imagine). But I gotta say, after reading how Mr. Klein prematurely sold his creation … Read More ...
3D Food Printer
So apparently, this fancy new 3D food printer, wherein a syringe “prints” dimensional objects by movements determined by a computer, will eventually allow home chefs to “design and print their own food constructions.” I have to admit I’m having trouble conceptualizing this, but find it interesting nonetheless. Created by Cornell University’s computational synthesis laboratory (which I’m also having trouble conceptualizing, … Read More ...
Pie vs. Cupcake
Everywhere everybody is noting the threat to the popularity of cupcakes posed by pie. (See here at NPR.) Which is why I love this article from Good suggesting motivations for predicting trends, predicting the food trend of 2011 will be to predict food trends, then predicting some food trends. Or this article from the New York Times that … Read More ...
