Meat pudding, sheep heads, and haggis....... oh my.

Nah. Silly idea. If they are going to ban fast food near schools, then they also need to ban pizza joints, ice cream parlors, candy stores, movie theaters, convenience stores, super markets... all places where kids can go to devour junk food. What schools need to do is provide a good cafeteria with good food so kids have no reason to go elsewhere.

Wegmans is great. It's truly what a "Super" market should be, not just a big place with shelves and shelves of junk.

Try their seasoned hamburgers. Cooked right, they rival the best restaurant burgers you can find.

Dwarf burger or mutant onion?

When I was a kid, my mom would never buy Fruity Pebbles no matter how much I begged. So on the rare occasions I could get a bowl of those flourescent colored flakes of sugar-death, it was an awesome experience. Now I retch at the thought of eating them.

And here's another vote in favor of fig newtons. I think I actually like them more as an adult than I did as a kid.

Let your kids have an occasional sip of warm Budweiser when they're young, and the allure of booze will be dashed before they even reach high school.

Sounds like a "had to be there" type of thing, which doesn't work very well for a national marketing campaign. I imagine if you're standing there watching the Ruby Tuesday's waiting for it to blow and the restaurant across the street goes up in smoke you'd be effectively suprised. But in print, it's boring.

I am so jealous of this guy. What a job.

The videos are fun to watch, but I bet they were even more fun to make.

I can't find it right now, but I've seen a photo of individually wrapped peanuts from Japan. I hope those trays are biodegradable.

So cute. Almost makes me want to give up eating pork.

Almost.

Wow, this hits right in my sweet spot. For as long as I can remember, I've been on a fruitless hunt for good PLAIN mint ice cream. What is it about mint ice cream that makes ice cream makers always think they must add chocoloate chips or cookies or something? Whenever I buy "mint-chip" ice cream, I'm always doing that dig for the parts of the ice cream with less chips. I guess I just need to finally get an ice cream maker and make chipless mint ice cream myself.

That's hot! I especially love the concept of setting up the oven at farmer's markets and then using the market's fresh ingredients. Brilliant. I'd love to see this concept take hold in New York in lieu of the dirty water hot dog carts.
