Matryoshka egg
February 15th, 2008
With eggs inside of eggs inside of eggs… It’s apparently not all that rare, just unusual for consumers to see, but today there’s a story — complete with pictures — of a woman finding a large egg with an intact smaller egg inside. I did some cursory interweb searching and found a knitting blog with a post with another such egg (and no, that blog is not in my RSS reader).

If you’ve ever wondered why citrus at restaurants always tastes better and looks prettier than yours at home, this is why. Seriously, though, it’s called supreming, and it’s worth the small effort.
Super Bowl Weekend
February 1st, 2008
Hey, you over there, put down the Lays and jar of onion dip. Yeah you. I know it’s Super Bowl weekend, and the football fan in me knows that such an event allows, nay demands, a certain type of food. We call it Football Food. But you can make your own. And it will be better — much better — and more bacony.
Simply Recipes has an authoritative round-up on Super Bowl recipes featuring everything from classics (potato skins, hot wings, various and sundry dips) to the truly frightening. Okay, so I was honestly curious about the Beer Cheese Cupcakes with Bacon Cheddar Frosting — if that’s not a manly dessert, what is? — but then I saw the “beer” in question: Budweiser Select. What’s a sell-respecting beer drinking to do? Guiness cupcakes, of course.
