This is one of those posts that will only really make sense to my World of Warcraft buddies. They don’t need an explanation, so I’ll spare the rest of you the boring details, too.

When I saw it, I knew I had to buy it immediately. There’s really nothing special about it beyond the name.

It’s hard to see what it’s like cooked, but it’s tiny little tube pasta. It went nicely buttered, salted, peppered, and served with a glazed piece of salmon.

Dog cupcake treats that look like your doggie pal

animals, cupcakes, dog, dog treats, pets | January 28, 2013 | By

Happy birthday cupcakes for dogs made with beef, pork, or chicken with tofu instead of flour (gluten-free) dog treats). The tops look like dogs from the picures and kibble decorations.

After discovering my post on how to make your own dog food, a reader sent me this link:

Custom made canine cake meals

They boast that they’re 100% all natural ingredients like chicken, corn, and tofu instead of using flour and fillers like traditional dog treats do. The quirkiest part is that Dog Diner customizes each one based on a picture of your dog. Adorable!

I wouldn’t ever spend $34 on a cupcake like this…not even for myself…but I know some people would flip for something like this. Unfortunately, they’re only available in Japan at the moment, so if you’re wanting one of your own, book a flight….or bribe a local bakery. ;)

Another ketchup explosion

accidents, ketchup, mistakes | January 25, 2013 | By

Picture of white cabinet drawers covered in catsup splatters from a bottle exploding. The pressure builds up and then how to get the red ketchup stain out?

I don’t get it.

I’m no stranger to messes and kitchen accidents. I’m not even a stranger to ketchup explosions.

What I don’t get is why they keep happening! It’s not like I’m being careless in the kitchen. I’m not a klutz who is constantly knocking things over. And I certainly don’t go intentionally making messes because I hate cleaning them up.

No, they’re just complete randomness. It’s a box that breaks. A bottle that builds up pressure and I’m the one who opens it first. Someone putting an opened container back in a cabinet upside down.

And who gets to clean it up? Me.

Who also gets to post the messes online to counter all the perfectly cleaned, properly posed, professionally captured food pictures that all the other bloggers put up? Me!

Hey, it’s something, right? :P
