11.01.07 by Widge @ 3:02 am  What happens when you take the same principle behind Cheez Whiz and apply it to pancakes? You get Batter Blaster, where you apparently can just shake the aerosol can, point it at your griddle or pan, and then have pancakes or waffles mere minutes later. Unlike Cheez Whiz, though, this product says it's organic. Not to imply that Cheez Whiz is officially inorganic, I just...oh hell, you know what I mean. I don't really like pancakes, so I don't have a dog in this fight (and I mean that in a non-Michael Vick sort of way), but I still find the thing a bit unnerving. Jim Gaffigan is going to work up a routine around this, if he hasn't already. No doubt. Categorized as: Food

10.16.07 by Widge @ 3:36 am  This Enjoy! Sushi product appears to be a train wreck of various concepts. Sort of like the "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter/You got your peanut butter in my chocolate" happened on the conceptual level and in some kind of strange fourth-dimensional space. It's gummi, first of all. Gummi sushi. Then bear in mind it is alien-themed gummi sushi. And the big-headed alien guy is saying "It's a deliciously fun decapitated candy treat!" And of course, the gummi sushi is strawberry and blueberry flavored. And what's sad is that I would both buy this if we saw it at a convenience store. And you would too. Admit it.

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
