I could have sworn I posted this amazing picture at some point (I guess I didn’t devote an entire post to it):
Well, a brilliant submitter who saw the design on Threadless turned it into a phenomenal CAKE!

Another thing I’d love to add to my baking supply arsenal: NINJABREAD MEN cookie cutters!
Give me these, some black, white and red icing…I’d quickly pass a whole afternoon.

This is my new favorite song. I’m not certain, but I think I found it on WFMU.
Twinkie insanity has got a hold on me…It’s drivin’ me so crazy, I might kill everyone I see…
Get it!

A cautionary tale about alcohol…
Three cheers for perfect parenting! Go ahead and shrink wrap ’em while you’re at it…
Stylish advancement in head and body gear:
You don’t see the winning combo of cookies and guns widely offered anymore.
An existential dilemma:
Someone may be gravely injured…very soon.
I actually have a postcard copy of this somewhere.

Yes, yes…YES! I want to bake red velvet cake in these and eat right from the skull!
The brain icing is a nice touch.

I thought I posted some strange ice cream flavors last year, but I can’t seem to find any evidence of it. This post has a great roundup of some unconventional flavors.
Among them…
Pit Viper (said to be an aphrodisiac)
Raw Horse Flesh
Squid Ink
There’s also a trend of spicy cream, it seems.
Garlic
Chilies
Curry

I came across this informative little tip recently (my broiler is uneven…I will be trying this when I can get enough toast eaters in my house at once):
This “test” reminded me of David Reimondo’s toast art, made of bread cast in resin.

In Honor of Bruce Campbell’s recent birthday, Sci-Fi Wire posted these wonderful (Bruce) Campbell’s Soup labels, free to print and use! What a delight for horror fans:
I’m definitely busting these out for my next Halloween party!

Last week, I had the opportunity for an impromptu trip to the city of Portland, Maine. First stop: International Cryptozoology Museum
The museum is tucked in the back of The Green Hand bookstore, which in itself is a fantastic place to visit. There’s a wonderful selection of used books and interesting artifacts. This taxidermy gentleman greets you upon arrival:
I enjoyed keeping my eyes peeled, and coming across things like this bony fellow on the couch.
With renowned cryptozoologist Loren Coleman (who is truly the expert in this field) as our guide, we explored some fun and fascinating artifacts.
Museum items included specimens, bones, taxidermy, molded casts, replicas, pop culture renditions of various cryptids, video footage and movie props.
I was a fan of the Mothman display case.
The museum also covered notorious creature hoaxes and fakes, which was a wonderful addition (and in my opinion, a necessary one when presenting the subject matter).
And on our way out, we saw this plate in the parking lot…
I recommend stopping by the museum if you are ever in the Portland area. Loren has a ton of interesting things to share and has amassed quite a collection.
After the museum, I had my heart set on going to Duckfat for authentic Poutine (Belgian style fries, cheese curds, duck gravy). I was not disappointed.
