Hot Dog Rock – You should eat them all of the time
I don’t believe hot dogs are better than pizza at all, but I do think any video that sings about food like this deserves at least a little bit of a mention. After all, can’t get much quirkier than some of those hot dog shirts in there.
Mini-bears with mini-ears and mini-eyes in mini cups and…..
Awwww! Aren’t these adorable?? Cooler temperatures are coming and that means more excuses to bake.
The site I found them on is written in Japanese and doesn’t translate quite so well, but I can’t imagine these being too difficult to recreate yourself. Use your favorite bread recipe, roll into small balls, add some tiny ones for ears (if the bread isn’t too sticky, try using an egg wash to help keep them in place), and find some suitable seeds or spices for some eyes.
Double awww….they’d be so cute. I’m going to have to make some of these now. And maybe stick them in a bento box, ‘cause they’d be the perfect mini-size. Awww again. :P
Upside down backward conversion apron (Canadians love their…metric system)
One of those lovely trip-ups of being in Canada is that everything is in metric.
If I go to the deli, I have to order 300 grams of meat versus by the pound. When I’m looking up recipes, they often use milliliters. And when I’m buying items at the grocery store, the sizes of boxes, bottles, etc, are pretty much never the same as what I’m used to because they’re adjusted to set ounce, pint, or gram mark instead.
And it’s not that I *can’t* convert measurements or that I don’t understand them. It’s just that I have to consciously think about the conversions and when it comes to things like how many milliliters are in a cup, it gets a little tricky. 
But even if conversions aren’t something you ever have to think of on the fly in the kitchen, this apron has a lot of other info right at your fingertips, too. There’s roasting times, steak wellness tips, freezing guides, cooking glossary, etc. It’s all printed upside down so you can flip it up and read it while wearing it.
Get yours from Vat19 for $25. You can see close-ups of the rest of the info listed, too.
