I’m completely intrigued by these “pressed” items from Grace & I, makers of gourmet preserves and unique foods.
Amazing combinations of dried fruit and nuts come together in slice-able blocks in a way that can only be called art.
Of course, my strange little mind immediately compared them to anatomical cross sections…but we won’t go there. Let’s just focus on deliciousness, shall we?

Proxy/Guest Blogger Liesje Kraai here! Dana has granted me the opportunity to bring you some weirdness while she is on medical hiatus. Hope you enjoy!
While stumbling along through the interwebs, I’ve come across some of the strangest things – things that defy explanation and honestly, at times, don’t want any.
Steming from my combined love of sushi and cats, I present to you NEKOZUSHI!!!
Nekozushi, translated “Cat Sushi”, makes me wish I had a better grasp of kanji. Thankfully, the explanation is translated:
Neko-Sushi is an extremely unusual life-form consisting of a cat on top of a portion of sushi rice.
Although several references have come down to us through history from various researchers and witnesses, their existence is still shrouded in mystery and actual sightings remain rare.
There are several academics who have devoted their lives to the study of these creatures. According to a number of these, Neko-Sushi make use of gaps in space to come to us from an alternate dimension. Beyond these “gaps” lies the world of the Neko-Sushi in which, it is recently understood, lies the true identity of the cats that dwell with us here in the human dimension.
Yep. Makes perfect sense.
And if you’re still confused, there’s a helpful documentary:
But most perplexing of all is the sushi snow globes, hidden in the “Online Shop”.
With no English translation, these bizarre microcosms of herding maguro bombard my brain with endless streams of “Wha-??” That being said, I wish my Japanese language abilities permitted me to purchase one of these amazing little enigmas. Fortunately, my artistic abilities may permit me to one day make my own…
Periodic Cookies makes two glorious sugar cookie designs that caught my eye. Atomic particles and lab goodies!
I think I’d rather decorate a Christmas tree with these than eat them. But they would be the perfect snack to bring to a party of geeks (thinking of you, Matt & Steph!).

Just want to bring you a few Cake Wrecks highlights for those of you in the US celebrating Independence Day today.
Bonus points to anyone who can guess what the hell animal this is.
While this cake, on this day, is astrologically correct with its symbolism…slapping a plastic freedom thingy on it does not quite make it a 4th of July treat. Nice try though.
What the…I can’t even…
I’d like it if the following sticker (which I’ve seen as a kind of ignorant patriotic battle cry too many times to enjoy) were affixed to the cake below it.

Ready for the best grill you’ve seen in a good long while?
From the source: Ryazan Deulino’s amazing 4-ton locomotive barbecue pit has three bays and a brick-lined furnace. Some of the controls in the cab are functional, too! The wheel turns the rotating spit. All aboard!

Posted by proxy from Dana’s “stuff to blog” queue while she is on medical hiatus. She reads and appreciates all comments…and apologizes for not being able to respond at the moment.
Who among us would turn up their nose at a chance like this?
