Dunkin Donuts Pulls Rachael Ray Ad Due to Arab-Looking Scarf
or maybe they pulled it because it clashes horribly with her shirt and the background? But still absurd...it's not even a Palestinian specific scarf...it's worn all over the Arab world.

Making Okonomiyaki at Home
Ooh, I have always wanted to try okonimiyaki.
Though as for irking misnomers, I've always found it equally improper when people deem to call any ol' fluffy waffle "belgian". A proper belgian waffle should be a made from a sweet *yeasty* dough, and are chewy, and very rarely round, rather usually irregularly rectangular. (and best served piping hot from van-vendors on a rainy day. It is a street food, after all)
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Fortune Cookie Chronicles'
Amoungst my friends we have the traditions of asking our fortune cookies questions - if it's response could be a proper answer than the cookie won, if it didn't make sense, the humans won. This was back in March 2005 - and I was embroiled in relationship issues, mainly whether to stay with an old boyfriend or start a new relationship with someone who was an unknown but with whom I had an undeniable (and strongly mutual) attraction. So I asked my cookie, "What should I do about J------?" And it told me:
"Take the plunge in a personal relationship"
The relationship with the old boyfriend fell apart soon after, and J------ and I decided to start with each other, despite the previous friction. We dated happily for eighteen months.
The cookie definitely won.

Dunkin Donuts Pulls Rachael Ray Ad Due to Arab-Looking Scarf
This has got to be the most dumb-ass politically correct crap to come down the pike, ever.
Did it ever occur to anyone that perhaps RR was wearing this scarf because she's put on a few pounds and is trying to hide a turkey neck? Your eyes are drawn to her face, then her scarf and since she was obviously shot from the waist up you bypass her tuches and hips. Say what you will about RR but this is political correctness gone awry.

What really surprises me is that no one at DD realized the similarity between that scarf and the traditional religious garb. For crying out loud, who decided on a gray and white scarf for someone who has made a career out of being annoyingly perky? They couldn't find purple? Hot pink?

It seems that people are forgetting the bright side:
One less commercial featuring RR speaking for DD.
Silver Lining folks!!

Michelle Malkin with the same scarf. Much as I have no love for Rachel Ray, Malkin has no place to criticize her. Glasshouses and all that.

That's a scarf of some sort?
I thought it was a special sort of donut napkin.
