Photograph from Nine99 Design When I think of a wine label, I imagine an illustration of a French château with cursive lettering. Nothing wrong with that sort of label, of course—but it's not that interesting. Weburbanist shows the versatility of wine labels with their feature of 61 creative wine labels, from traditional to typography-centric to pop art. I'm a fan of the stylish Shefa Wine label made by Nine99 Design.

Photograph from on Flickr Banana death by human is your typical chew-and-swallow method, but when you get green birds involved, it becomes a little uglier. This hungry one decided to dissect the banana midsection, or the bananular belly in technical terms. Maybe bananas are like pigs and all the tender, succulent meat is hiding in the belly region?

Photograph from TheBusyBrain on Flickr Somewhere in between alky and non-drinker, there's a community of social sippers that could have another but typically knows when to say nah. Nina Caplan, part of this group, decided to give up wine for a month and write about it for Intelligent Life, a quarterly magazine by The Economist. It’s not difficult. Just dull. I felt unsociable. I missed the glow of self-satisfaction that alcohol brings, and the clear division it offers between work and recreation. I would cook dinner for a friend, watch her down half a bottle of wine and feel guilty for not joining her. Her conclusion: stone-cold sobriety is overrated. She was still tired, lazy, and guilty of overeating... More

Each week we round up our favorite posts and recipes from our friends at The Kitchn. This week, the Kitchn spotlights a kitchen island made of shopping carts, crafted by a San Francisco man. The carts were cut above the wheels, turned on-end, and re-welded. Also on the Kitchn, the urge to open oven doors, Kentucky jam cake, why eggs get poofy when baked, and the deal with dates.... More

Artist Anna Magnowska may be taking down your order, but she's also noting your facial contortions and talk bubbles. "Check this ring out...that would cost a year's wages for you! See what you get if you find yourself a rich man (another glass of bubbly please)." Tipsy/well-fed people say the darnedest things. Her series of sketches reminds me of the HBO hidden-camera series Taxicab Confessions. [via Made in England]... More

Skase Tea Cup Set I don't regularly drink coffee or tea, but I almost want to just so I have use for these cool mugs and cups.

In 2006, I was fortunate enough to study abroad in Mar del Plata, Argentina. Between Spanish classes and group excursions, I found myself filling the hours lying on the beach, eating and drinking wine. Not one of these things... More
