Famed butter lover Paula Deen gave her first interview on the subject of her Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis to Al Roker on The Today Show this morning, and much like a deep-fried donut wrapped in bacon, something about it did not sit right with me. More »
As you may know, Norway is currently experiencing a tragic butter shortage that’s left many citizens wondering how they’re going to bake Christmas cookies this year. Because the jokes write themselves, many people have been making light of this issue, but a self-described “singer, celebritys [sic.], and famous bloggers [sic.]” named Tommy has taken to Youtube to tell you to cut it out.

I know that French kissing involves two human mouths and tongues, but I’ve always been confused about what Italian kissing is. I guess it’s putting pizza inside your mouth and closing your eyes? Are you supposed to chew the pizza, though? Because I was under the impression that was called eating. More »
You know that part in The Lost Boys where Kiefer Sutherland takes Jason Patric down to his Jim Morissoned-out vampire cave?* And then he’s all, “Here, eat this Chinese food.” So Jason goes to eat the Chinese food, but the noddles have turned to worms and the rice looks like crawling maggots. The Maggot Melt sandwich served at the Arizona State Fair is just like that, but on purpose. More »
There are two kinds of salami in this world. There’s mainstream salami and there’s underground salami. Which kind of salami do you have? Probably mainstream salami, huh? I bet you don’t have cool, underground PBR salami. Poseur. More »
Tonight we finally say goodbye to the Gosselins, as Kate Plus 8 (formerly known as Jon and Kate Plus 8) has its series finale. Although Jon Gosselin proved himself to be a douchebag by cheating, we’ll never see Kate Gosselin as a victim thanks to the hours of shrill, neurotic footage that TLC has collected of her. Whether she’s going all evil clean-freak mother on her poor kids or slapping Jon during confessionals, Kate certainly made her mark on reality TV. More »

The Burger King King was found dead in his Santa Monica home late last night, suspected to have fallen victim to a mixture of prescription drug overdose, un-treated syphilis, and the fact that everyone found him way creepy. Lindsay Lohan could not be reached for comment. More »
I loved Ace of Cakes (okay, mostly because I had a crush on Geoff, but whatever) and wish it was still on the air, but it’s good to know that Charm City Cakes is still making amazing stuff. They made this Battle of Hogwarts cake, which depicts the wizarding school being destroyed. It’s so fucking awesome that I would never want to eat it. More »
“Burrito” is misleading here: this is banana, whipped cream and custard inside of a waffle. Maybe a better name is Banana Waffle Surprise. As in: you thought you were about to eat a delicious waffle, but surprise!, it’s actually a food item even more amazing than you could have possibly imagined. Someone please make this for us immediately. More »
What’s a more fitting post-Easter story than this? Kinder Surprise Eggs, a delectable chocolate treat with a fun toy hidden within, are not allowed into the United States due to a 1938 FDCA law forbidding candies with “non-nutritive” insides. But Leslie Dannelly, whose husband is stationed in Rammstein, has started Free the Egg, an online campaign to change those laws and bring the magic of these German chocolate eggs to all. More »
Cupcake baker extraordinaire Vivian made these adorable cupcakes featuring each member of Serenity‘s crew, for her husband Keith’s birthday. Each character, made out of fondant and not marzipan as I’d suspected, is incredibly detailed; my favorite element is each of their accessories, from Mal’s pistol to Kaylee’s wrench to Wash’s dinosaur. What’s more, the cupcake topping is a mix of vanilla frosting and crushed graham crackers.
No power in the ‘verse can stop me… from gobbling these up. More »

Fruit is really good for you. And so is laughter! So the fact that former Kids in the Hall cast member Scott Thompson has a blog about fruit actually makes perfect sense. Most of the posts are just videos of Scott talking about how much he loves fruit. More »

In honor of Free Scoop Day, Ben & Jerry’s has announced a limited-time flavor honoring Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb, co-hosts of the unintentionally hilarious (and often boozy) fourth hour of the Today show. Vermont Apple Ice Wine sorbet is inspired by “a crisp autumn day,” according to a Ben & Jerry’s spokesperson. And what can you expect in such a flavor? “This flavor is a tribute to the morning duo that does it all — as delicate as Kathie Lee, as sweet and fruity as Hoda. With a tart nature like the pair, themselves, it’s sure to become one of their Favorite Things!” More »
