OMG Sodium!

culinary detours | September 6, 2009 | By


While sitting at the breakfast table, eating biscuits with honey drizzled over them, N asked if the honey was real. Before I could even chime in, the oldest informed her that it wasn’t and that the honey was fake. Instead of correcting them, I asked how you make fake honey. No one really knew, so I pointed them to the ingredient list to see what was in fake honey. N started reading from the top of the nutrition label instead:

Calories: 60
Total fat: 0
Transfat: 0
Sodium: O-M-G (0 mg)

She then started giggling. “Oh my gosh,” she translated the zero milligrams to for us. Apparently even the honey is appalled at the idea of sodium in honey!

Animal-inspired pizza cutter, peeler, garlic press, bottle opener, and more fun gadgets!

Boston Warehouse a nice collection in Target stores and online of cute animal-inspired cooking utensils. Toucan can opener, veg-heg and punk-u-pine vegetable brushes, beaver tail whisk, and a squid baster are only a few of the adorable utensils, and seeing as how they’re from Target, the prices are reasonable even.

Drool-worthy Mario cake

Yeah, yeah, there are thousands of amazing cakes out there, and there are probably just as many sites that are devoted to featuring them. For those of you who know me from my main site, though, you know I have a soft-spot for the original NES and Mario. I’ve seen my fair share of Mario cakes, too, but I really like this one.

This post has several more close-up pictures and the sketch that this was modeled after.
