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.
