Posted By on Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 11:14 AM

The folks behind Apartment Therapy's The Kitchn spotted prepackaged hard-boiled eggs at a Trader Joe's.

Thoughts? Has society become so lazy that we can't even boil our own eggs?

I'd say, yes. And if I'm in Trader Joe's and see you with this product in your basket, I will look at you funny. (If only in my head because I sure don't want to get beat up.)

Pancakes in a can?

Posted By on Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 10:29 AM

Not a Campbell's Soup can either ... a whipped cream can.

"Would you like me to spray you some more pancakes?" Just doesn't sound right.

Lost cast member Jorge Garcia blogs about his discovery of organic pancakes in a can at a Whole Foods. Read about it here.

"Sponge Bob got back!" in this Burger King commercial

Posted By on Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 12:20 PM

Burger King has a hilarious new commercial for the new 99 cent kid’s meals with Spongebob Squarepants toys. The BK king mascot sings a Spongebob Squarepants version of Sir Mix-a-lot's Baby Got Back. Sir Mix-a-lot even appears in the ad!

Watch the video:

Lyrics:

I like square butts and I cannot lie

Squid and Sea Star can’t deny

When a sponge walks in, four corners and his pen

Like he got phone book implants, the crowd shouts

All the ladies stare

Dang those pants are square!

Swimming through the seaweed tangle

Is a butt with sharp right angles

Now Sponge Bob, I wanna get witch-ya

‘Cuz you’re making me rich-ah

Underwater, we keep it grungy

‘Cuz everybody knows that ‘He so spongey!’

Ooh, Rumplespongeskin

You dance, but your hips don’t bend

So groove it and move it

If you got caboose, then prove it

Sponge Bob is dancing

And Squidward is glancing

He’s hatin’… wet

He’s got Sponge Bob runnin’ his set

I’m tired of all these chairs

They don’t accommodate these squares

Take the average ???? tell him that

You gotta have square back

Mr. Krab! (yeah)

Patrick! (yeah)

Has Sponge Bob got the butt? (oh yeah)

Then shake it (shake it)

Shake it (shake it)

Shake that cubicle butt

Sponge Bob got back

(Naw, dude, I said cubicle, not booty-ful. Don’t trip. Yeah baby, when it comes to sea life, curves ain’t got nothin’ to do with Bob’s selection. 2 x 2 x 2 square trousers, working that black belt, looking like dotted lines. That’s how Sponge Bob like to rock them threads baby.)

A word to the DC sponges who wanna get wit it

And watch Sponge Bob kick it

I gotta be straight when I say you gotta scrub ’til the break of dawn

Bob got it goin’ on, been known to rock him a thong

Them round butts won’t admit it

But they’d wear that gear if they could fit it

You can draw his body on paper

His waistline really don’t taper

Your girlfriend wants to squeeze him

Wanna push his pores and tease him

But Sponge Bob ain’t gonna have too much of that squeezin’

You other sponges don’t want none unless you rock square buns!

To the new sponges in the magazines, you ain’t it Miss Thang

We rock them cubes, gals and dudes

Put it down at the goo lagoon

Some other box must get jealous

At the moves that come from square fellas

See Bob and they wanna get him

But Sandy Cheeks he won’t let ‘em

If you happen to wander on land

And you wanna be a square butt fan

And drive the crew right to Burger King

And give that sponge a ring

Sponge Bob got back!

Charleston eats

Posted By on Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 4:22 PM

When eating in Charleston, South Carolina, you can't go wrong. Everything is extremely good. They've got fluffy biscuits, decadent pies, fresh seafood and more. I spent the weekend in Charleston for the Cooper River Bridge 10K run and we ate at Baked, Social, and S.N.O.B. Just thought I'd share a few pics... (If you go to S.N.O.B., but sure to order the Banana Cream Pie with Rum Sauce for dessert.)

Nerdelicious

Posted By on Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 2:52 PM

Ok!! FINE! I'll admit it.

I am officially a NERD because in my Google Documents, I curate a spreadsheet. An excel spreadsheet of Charlotte restaurants with which I track which restaurants I've visited, and which I want to visit. The spreadsheet includes the restaurant names (listed in alphabetical order) along with information such as: the neighborhood, price range, atmosphere, a star rating, and notes about what dishes were good, and which menu items I want to try next time.

I know it's incredibly OCD and anal...but I enjoy methodically eating my way through Charlotte! Plus, my boyfriend thinks my nerdiness is hot. So there!

Simply peel and enjoy

Posted By on Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 10:33 AM

Huh? I am perplexed.

How'd they get the chocolate in the real egg shell? Are you perplexed too?

Bissinger's Confections is designed this "Chocolate praline creation crafted within the shell of an actual brown hen egg." Here's the online store description for the Ultimate Egg:

This confectionery marvel will have you asking, "Which came first? The chocolate or the egg?" Peel open the real brown hen egg imported from France and enjoy the chocolate praline egg that awaits inside.

It's like a magic trick -- I want to know how they did it! Maybe Bissinger's is really an alias some crazy Willy Wonka stuff...

Re-creating the Mona Lisa in burger grease

Posted By on Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 10:06 AM

You know how a greasy burger can soak through the take-out paper bag and make it transparent? Well this guy uses the same grease and technique to create a masterpiece. I wonder if it'll go rancid.
