10.03.07 by Widge @ 2:39 am  Wisdom of the Moon gives some great ideas for how to make Monster Cupcakes! Because any excuse to make cupcakes is a good excuse, and it is Halloweentime after all. Here's the scoop on the one we have pictured here... This last one's my favorite (my sister did it- actually she did a lot of these) mainly because it reminds me of Kang and Kodos on the Simpsons. The tentacles are Laffy Taffy and the eyeball is a cut gumdrop with a mini chocolate chip shoved point-side into it. If you poke a hole in the gumdrop with a wooden skewer first, the chocolate chip slides in fairly easily. Categorized as: Food

09.24.07 by Widge @ 11:18 pm  We're big fans of Muppets around here. The only thing that comes close to our love of Muppets is our love of zombies. Which...says a lot about our mental state, we think. Anyway, when one thinks of a Muppet-themed cake, chances are your mind strays to stuff like the Kermit-shaped foil cake pan featured on this page. So we were impressed as hell by this Kentucky State Fair blue ribbon-winner: a cake that features the major players of the Muppet Show...in tasty 3-D. We have just a snippet, you really must go and see the full majesty of this thing. It looks almost too good to eat, but we've gotten over that before. Categorized as: Food

08.25.07 by Widge @ 5:57 pm  Dan Goodsell, keeper of obscure lore, has stumbled across evidence of something I never knew existed: TV dinners that come with Twinkies inside the box. That's right: burger, fries, corn...and a Twinkie. Spaghetti, meatballs, what looks like peas...and a Twinkie. Was there ever a time in my life when I would have found those concepts appetizing in the least? I mean, I used to eat Twinkies, but with spaghetti? Now I'm assuming the Twinkie had to be frozen too, right? So while a Twinkie might sound appealing, imagine a Twinkie you had to reheat. Egad, people. And what's great is that the Twinkie just isn't enough--there's another dessert in there too. 1974. When Twinkies weren't just a snack, they were a part of dinner. Categorized as: Food

08.23.07 by Widge @ 3:56 am  So Chocablog has delivered news of a site which could be potentially devastating in that it will hasten the ever-widening of my can. And because I hate to suffer alone, I will share with all of you: it's the Chocomap. Yes, it uses Google Maps to help you find chocolate shops in a goodly number of cities. Sometimes you should fear technology, sometimes you should embrace it. Sometimes, you should just bite the bullet and do both. Categorized as: Food

08.21.07 by Widge @ 2:18 am Christopher Walken a foodie? Who knew? Anyway, here's his preparation of a roasted chicken with pears. Walken is so delightful (and yet can be so creepy), this reminds us of another celebrity chef... Categorized as: Food
