I’m going to be thinking all night now about fictional food I wish were real. They listed some great ones. And I want that tiny microwave for my desk!

Great list this month. I took a special interest in the allergy link, and I bookmarked the healthy dining finder. Very cool.

Ice cream that doesn’t melt? That’s just wrong.

“The Hut?” Seriously?

Brand, branding, rebranding – Buzz words for 2009…..I hate them!
But I like your list and will check them all out.

We actually watched some of the Ntl. Spelling Bee. Those kids are amazing.

These links are fun, Amy. Thanks for sharing.

That Hunch site is kind of silly but addictive nonetheless. And I spent the last hour looking at your links in general. I like your roundups Amy!

I LOVE ice cream! Believe me, if I was sitting in front of any of those crazy ice cream flavors, I’d just have to give each one a try. :) There were a couple that looked pretty good, like the “Fig & Goat Cheese Swirl Ice Cream” and the “Sweet Corn Ice Cream.” Weird, but interesting…lol.
I also enjoy the links! Thanks!
