Cancer cure? Flying car that runs on water? A manned mission to Mars? Truly, these would be wondrous things, but, when the history of the 21st century is written, they will be noted as secondary achievements next to this — the Wake n’ Bacon alarm clock. Language is a sadly inadequate tool to describe the [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Remember how, back in the 1960s, you’d see stickers on urinals reading “Deposit your Goldwater here”? (Well, I don’t, as the 1960s, to me, were a time of diapers and strained peas, ironically much like the 2060s will probably be, if I’m lucky enough to live that long, but anyway…). In the 1970s, much political [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )For years, cutting boards have either been featureless blank expanses, or, worse, covered with cutesy “kitcheny” images like flour, roosters, or assorted vegetables. No more! For geeks love food — if you don’t believe this, try finding a size “M” t-shirt at San Diego ComicCon — and we love to cook, and so, we now [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “I really wish to convey to anyone who visits me that I have, in fact, more money than sense…but, uhm, I don’t want to spend too much money doing that.” Fortunately, there is a way, and that way is Skymall. While virtually any item will do, this is [...]

Surely, a device that does two things is superior to one which only toasts! (You know, I used to have a typical toaster oven, and I’m pretty sure [...]

Indeed, given the fact it’s sold out and will likely only be found on eBay for prices which will range beyond “scalping” and go all the way to “guillotined with a rusty blade”, it might not be the gift for [...]

Basically, from what I can tell, you plug it into your USB port (because you surely don’t have anything more important to go there) and [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Even though I am a fan of “Food Snuff Films”, otherwise known as “Iron Chef”, I find I am quite incapable of actually killing my own food. I grew up in the suburbs, far from farms or even butchers; to me, meat is something that grows inside styrofoam and plastic wrap. (Dear PETA people: I [...]

Anyway…
The humble banana. Rich in both potassium and comedic potential, it is a staple food. Not as trendy or chic as a kiwi, it is an elegant foodstuff from a more civilized time.
This doesn’t mean it can be the subject of useless…or, [...]
You know, like “That’s SNOT funny!” or “Nobody NOSE about this!” or some other lame, obvious, gag. I prefer to let the facts speak for themselves. Here is advice:If you type “Strange Kitchen Gear” into Google, you will find, in the words of Howard Carter, “wonderful things”. OK, he was talking about giant gold boats [...]
