Sprinkles Cupcakes Sues Over 'Stolen' Use of Dot Design

Isn't that "design" all over everything nowadays? Tough call.

Food-related books that aren't cookbooks.

I have a chikdren's book that I adore, it's by Polly Horvath - Everything on a Waffle. There's a recipe tied in to each chapter at the end of each. It's fun and cute.

Anything Peter Mayle writes (at least in referrence to Provence) is food-laden. MFK Fisher is another favorite. I pull food referrences from books all the time to write about, so almost everything is about food to me. Sad, isn't it?

Chefography This Week on Food Network

I've been cooking on both ends of the spectrum - from classically French trained to feeding 9 on a dime. I have no huge love for Sandra lee, but you do what you must to survive, and if it's soomething that will help others, so much the better.

Nobody rates the world on each breath they take, and yet we all breathe and must do so to live. Honestly, it's the TV Food Network, not the TV Chef Network. I don't think they should pat themselves on the back, but aren't they delivering what they should -- food?

The Microwave Oven: Do You Actually Cook With Yours?

When we were without cooking gas for a period of several weeks, I learned how to make the best 10-minute cake. My microwave was a life-saver and the meals that I learned to make changed the way I saw microwave cooking forever.

Not everything worked so well, but we got along quite nicely without conventional cooking methods.

With 7 kids, it's a real help when I don't have an extra burner and need something heated or re-heated quickly.

Good thing Target doesn't sell cupcakes, though I think its Chockylit chocolates have that dot and circle thing all over the place.

Like Water For Chocolate comes to mind but that was a novel and there are indeed a few recipes sprinkled throughout.
