Being a part time teacher and stay at home dad has made me a little crazy this month. As an outlet for the crazy, I decided to go my art school roots and made a series of celebrity and food themed prints. They are now available for sale on Etsy.
You can get your own collection of these beauties HERE.
Over the past few years I have read a ton of children's books in my work with kids. A lot of my favorite books have been from an author named Laura Numeroff. As a food enthusiest, I connect with books that focus on the misadventures of feeding animals delicious things. As an therapist for kids, I use them to help kids focus on inferencing, sequencing, and basic reading comprehension skills. If you've already read If You Give A Moose A Muffin, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, or If You Give A Pig A Pancake, you should definitely get your hands on her brand new release If you Give A Cat A Cupcake.
I had these liners at a bakery a few months ago and have been looking for them ever since. If you or anyone you know has any information about these cupcake wrappers please contact me at: Bloghungry@yahoo.com.
I can no longer be silent. What happened to 7-Up and what the fuck is a "Sierra Mist"? Admittedly, I grew up in a Sprite-drinking household and prefer ginger ale to all soda. However, 7-Up had a good campaign, taste, and packaging going for it. Who didn't like the red dot? Sierra Mist is just a Sprite knock-off and is clearly a bastardization of Sprite and Mountain Dew campaigns that took a turn for the generic. Every time I see Sierra Mist at a restaurant or movie theatre I feel like I am being forced to consume the product of a corporate hack who is still hung up on "XXXtreme sports" and targeting customers with zany Southwestern furniture sets or Bed Bath and Beyond color-blocked bistro paintings. Shame on you corporate hack. Haven't those people suffered enough? Every time I pass by your product I shed a tear for empty robotic soul.
I have eaten a lot of fast food in my life. Like many kids growing up in the 80's, I was raised to keep special place in my heart for McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's. In the 90's I opened myself up to Checkers, Sonic, and Hardee's. Since moving to California I have tried Carl's Jr., Tommy's, In and Out, Astro Burger, and many more. However, they were all just carnal moments of shame compared to the flame broiled complexity of a Burger King burger and the salty crispness of their fries. After a lot of research, I am now ready to proclaim Burger King the best fast food chain burger and fries in the industry.
I am finally getting around to posting the results of the cereal rainbow competition. Here is the official CR bracket from the weekend. It took 2 days and 3 types of milk to get down to a final 3 and ultimately revealing Cinnamon Toast Crunch as the judges' overall favorite. Through this process I learned a lot about myself and the composition of cereal. I found that cereal texture, cereal flavor(s), and milk flavor to be the most important factors for judging any cereal. Cinnamon Toast Crunch offered all of these in spades.
Also, after the competition with what little hunger for cereal that I could muster, I began to make cereal combos. After some experimentation I recommend Honey Comb/Golden Grahams and Cinnamon Toast Crunch/Apple Jacks, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch/Golden Grahams. I will also say that the Cocoa Puffs/PB Capn' Crunch combo is not as good as Reese's Puffs.
After last Thanksgiving's success with Pie Rainbow, we decided to expand the concept to other foods. Cereal Rainbow was born. This time the process was more involved than cutting slivers of pie to join together for the ultimate piece of pie. Cereal Rainbow is a long process of cereal selections and competitions where only one cereal can rein supreme. This is the journey of Cereal Rainbow.
1. A list of all cereals available was compiled.
2. Cereals were nominated by receiving a 3/4 majority vote from the judges.
3. The nominees were narrowed by allotting each judge 12 votes to disperse in any way to their chosen cereals. Judges were allowed to give 1 vote to 12 chosen cereals or more than one vote to a fewer number of chosen cereals.
4. The cereals receiving the most judges votes were put on the list of elected cereals. Cereals with equal amount of votes continued in a run-off election until a top 12 list was elected with 2 alternates.
5. The elected cereal boxes were lined up in order of the color spectrum and paired off into a bracket of competing cereals.
6. Cereals were judged two at a time and rated on a scale of 1 to 3 by each judge. The cereal with the highest cumulative rating went to the next round.
7. The the bracket of competing cereals continued until one cereal reigned supreme.
Top 12 Cereals
1.Special K w/ Strawberries

This is really gross.
My refridgerator as an adult makes the same ice cubes as my childhood refridgerator. The cubes are long, flat on one side, and rounded on the other. Their unfortunate shape creates the perfect dam on the side of your glass to block your drink until you tilt it to the point it spills all over you. I hate these ice cubes.
I saw this on the news this morning and had to tell someone. There is a company in New York that rents display wedding cakes for receptions with a section of real cake to cut during the reception. Then pieces of cut sheet cake are served to fool guests. I am all for cost cutting solutions for weddings, but who is doing this?
