Photo of the Day: How To Stimulate the Economy, One Drink at a Time

That reminds me of a sign at the local Harry's Farmers Market in the wine section that said "Save Water. Drink Wine." (Playing off the fact that we were having a drought here in the Atlanta GA area)

I actually picked up a can of the extra creamy cool whip a few weeks ago. it was an interesting mix of Redi Whip and Cool Whip, but it didn't taste like pure cool whip either. I'd possibly pick some up if I just wanted a quick topping in lieu of the other spray toppings, but I think the original Cool Whip form factor tasted better.

Ice Cream That's Out of This World

How funny! I was just talking about the museum of science and my love of the astronaut's freeze dried ice cream to my boyfriend! I'm stuck in Atlanta these days and I was going on and on about how much I miss Boston (for a variety of reasons). That stuff was great to suck on, I loved the weird texture and the flavor was great. My parents never understood what I saw in it though. :-)

The 'Save Robert Irvine' Campaign Begins

I'm a little unclear why 'Earl of Sandwich' is being held up with a real name for ridicule Raphael.

Robert Irvine Fired from the Food Network

Too bad, though not terribly surprising. When I noticed they'd altered the opening of his show (even the repeats from before the story broke), I figured they probably wouldn't be renewing him. I can't imagine the show would do too well without him though since it was designed around him. Guess we'll see what they do. It was an interesting concept.

They also make a BRK-300 that adds a Rotisserie function as well, which if you're going to sacrifice the counter space, might as well go for the whole shebang.

Robert Irvine's About Page Now Blank

Guess being part of history isn't so great after all...

Now if they could just do something with those horrid grey mouse overs on the main page, food + grey highlighting is not a winning combo!

Ice Cream That's Out of This World

I took my mom to the Omni Theatre yesterday for Mother's Day, and I'm happy to report - the museum shop STILL SELLS astronaut ice cream! I was incredibly tempted to buy some, but settled for a rock candy pop instead.

I know where that is! They always have pretty hilarious signs.

That's one way to spend your stimulus check.

Eeeeww... artificial wipped(whipping) cream could never meet the flavour-expectation of the REAL home-made stuff! The packaging is pretty cool though!

Gums are carbohydrates. That said, I hate that we're becoming so lazy as country. Really? You can't open the box of granola and put a little bit in a reusable container? We're all going to be fat, sitting on top of little piles of 100-calorie pack wrappers in 10 years...

Equally skeptical on 100-cal pack granola. A few nuts and dried fruit flecks are at least 100 cals!

I like my 1,000-cal pack granola, thank you very much.

mmmm non-dairy whip topping (with added gums and carbohydrate derivatives...yum)

Here's another funky whip topping aerosol (shelf-stable)!

I don't see what's so cool about Cool Whip in a can. They've had Reddi Wip for years. Kids go to the grocery store and huff the nitrous oxide out of them somehow.
