For The Ladies And I: A Purse For Your Wine

Thursday, April 1st, 2010


Found this on geekologie.com and thought it was worth posting! :)

The Baggy Winecoat is a $58 purse for your wine. It’s basically a glorified box and that’s a-okay with me because I’ll drink out of anything with alcohol in it. Including, and not just limited to: your liver. You think I won’t drug you and cut that thing out?

When You’re Really In Love: Bacon Bouquet

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Found this article on geekologie.com and thought I would share.
Anneke’s always saying she never gets flowers. Maybe I should show her just how much I love bacon and give her one of these! :)

Flowers, as you may well know, are the key to a woman’s heart. And by heart I mean bloomers. But when you’re truly in love, crappy red roses simply will not do. Enter the bacon bouquet. It looks like flowers, but that shit is bacon!

Sausage Stylus for iPhone

sausage stylus

Found this on seriouseats.com. I could see a use for this in Canada. A couple weeks ago I was snowboarding and realized my iPhone didn’t work if I was wearing my gloves. Who wants to remove their gloves in the cold Canadian climate to change the track on their iPhone. Simple solution, pickup a cheap Hot Rod @ the convenience store and use it as a iPhone stylus!


According to this poorly Google-translated article, South Korea’s CJ Corporation has seen an uptick in sales for its snack sausage in the winter months because people have figured out they can use the meat stick as a stylus for their iPhone touchscreens. IPhone users in colder climates know all too well that you have to take off your mittens to use the dang thing. No more!

beef penis
I found this article on Seriouseats.com and found it quite funny.

I have seen Beef penis before @ Georges’s Meat Shop. I can see the comments coming now! This meat shop has quite a selection of interesting bits.
Here’s the address in case you want to run out and try this! :)

Georges’s Meat Shop

Vanier, ON K1L 6N1


Nasty Bits lovers, if you think I’m cooking heart for Valentine’s Day, then you underestimate my mettle. Why talk about matters of the heart, when we’ve yet to cover penis? The Chinese believe the organ to possess all kinds of medicinal properties related to virility and general health. Though I harbored no presumptions about its libido-enhancing abilities, I was curious about the culinary merits of eating penis: Namely, is it delicious? Even more pressing, what does the organ taste like in the first place?

Vaughn’s Perfect Skillet Pizza

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Found this on www.seriouseats.com, since I love my trusty cast iron pan I’ll have to try this one day!

Over on the Atlantic Food Channel Vaughn Tan blogs about a method he has devised for cooking pizza at home using a cast iron skillet.

No, it’s not the ol’ super-heat-an-upside-down-skillet-under-the-broiler-and-then-slide-a-pie-on-it trick. But it’s close
