I don’t know why we’ve never blogged about this video series before. You'd think Robyn would have been all over this—it's Japanese, it's cute, and it involves animals. And before you go there, it's about cooking along with a dog. A dog named Francis, who, as a friend pointed out, makes surprisingly sophisticated recipes. I mean, Cooking with Dog could easily have gone into superkitsch territory, in which the food was secondary to the talking-dog shtick. But, it doesn't.

When I first came across Frito Lay's Made For Each Other campaign to promote their dips and chips, my first thought was of slight confusion: "Soo...where are the dips and chips?" But then I watched their animated, mildly branded commercials and got sucked in by the cute and whimsical characters, besides that they're just well done.

Looking out for our feathered friends, this cutting board-bird feeder allows otherwise wasted crumbs to travel through holes, and then a tube, straight to a bird's very happy beak.
