On The Side: small bites during the month of February
My favorite smaller food-related news stories and products that made it in under the radar:
Men who like cupcakes. For manly men.
Sushi on small trucks.
Dawn Wells (the gal from Gilligan’s Island) on a clever way to peel a potato…or you could do it in one minute by ACTUALLY PEELING THE POTATO! (2 minute video)
Food consumption and obesity visualization maps.
Brushing your teeth in 2010 just isn’t as manly as it used to be – whiskey toothpaste.
A serious case for cutting coupons.
Food-Related Super Bowl Ads.
Heinz Dip & Squeeze marks the first ketchup packet makeover in 42 years.
Chiquita Banana redesign.
Is your kid truly allergic? Tests add to food confusion.
Announcing BlogHer Food 2010.
This is worth my thighs rubbing together – S’Mores Oatmeal.
Selleck Waterfall Sandwich. Creepy, no?
The timing of recess and eating makes a difference in a child’s health and behavior.
I look forward to these posts on your blog! All of the links you put up are so interesting. I like the recess and eating article. I honestly don’t remember if recess was always after lunch when I was little, but it never bothered me either way. I was always the kid falling down and scraping her knees and winding up in the nurses office a few times a week! My legs grew too fast for me! Haha, sorry, random story! Happy friday!
Oh, how I love this list of little gems.
That S’Mores oatmeal would certainly get me up in the morning (though I’d probably fall asleep a half hour later from the sugar-induced coma!)
As far as the whiskey toothpaste goes, I can’t even laugh. I brushed my teeth with Wild Turkey for three days in Tunisia when we weren’t sure if the water was safe. :) One could ask why I didn’t just use bottle water… and that’s probably a good question. But, whiskey seemed safer for some reason!
Whiskey toothpaste? That’s awesome :)
Great new stickers for Chiquita bananas.
I need a sushi truck!
And I miss Magnum… sigh.
So. My favorites: manly cupcakes. I would truly like to taste one of those.
The visualization maps. How proud am I of New York for not being on that list? Very. Very. Proud.
Smores oatmeal. Hello beautiful.
Blogher Food. I’m going to BlogHer in NY this summer but would LOVE to go to the one in SF. Just can’t afford it. Maybe I’m going to have to seek out a sponsor…
Thanks so much for sending me something! You are too much, really. And you’re going to have to let me know when your birthday is. Seriously. Not even joking.
The “Butch Bakery” cracked me up ~ cupcakes for MANLY men. Yeah, the Dawn Wells video on how to peel a potato is something else! You know the old ketchup packets? My daughter would just dip her fry in that, but the new one is smart. (Unless it’s worse for the environment.) I’ve got to wait to check out the rest, but wanted to thank you for all the fun!!!! *big hug*
Butch Bakery is the BEST. I hope they fanchise. Read off the varieties to Hubby and he perked up, “Now you’re talkin’ ”
Their site worked on me, too. I’m hankerin’ for a Sidecar cupcake.
“or you could do it in one minute by ACTUALLY PEELING THE POTATO! ”
Uh. Yeah.
