Thanks to Ted for giving me the heads up about this shirt on threadless. Its a good example of humour that exhibits itself when appropriateness is not an issue (er, or maybe its is and that’s why its funny?)!
The Know Your Meats is Kind of cute too.

Megan of Not Martha just posted some fabulous April Fool’s food projects up on Ready Made.
Reading over these fantastic recipes for vanilla pudding dessert pot pie and mashed potato cupcakes makes me even more sad that this sacred holiday is on a Saturday. My poor co-workers will feel so left out!

My neighborhood grocery store carries many socially responsibile/ambitious items. My latest find to realize I’m fondly attached to are Eco-bags, unbleached 100% natural cotton draw-string bags. In particular I have a couple of their Produce & Grain bags floating around the kitchen. These bags are great for storing vegetables, and for use in [...]

I think I finally get it: what all the Southern fuss about iced tea is. When you’re busy trying to be healthy and drinking over 8 glasses of water a day, one gets a bit tired of water. I still don’t subscribe to sweetened iced teas, but I have found a close relative…

I just found a Eugene supply for these smashingly cute tea bags… PassionFlower. I should have known that store owner Jewel Murphy would get her hands on these sooner or later.
They have a number of the tea ‘bags’ open in their store display (on a cute tree, perched as blossoms) so [...]
