FDA Makes Tainted PB Widget, Now We’re Getting Serious
Still don’t think the peanut butter/salmonella situation’s a big deal? The FDA just released a widget to track potentially problematic products. Dang.
Search For All Recalled Peanut Butter Products With This Widget
It’s the Valentine’s Day candy for the person you have seriously mixed feelings about! It’s dangerously delicious! We’re not just about being smart-asses, though, so click through for a handy widget you can use to search for recalled products. (For the record, we don’t know whether the candy in the photo has been recalled or not.)
You can grab your own copy of this widget from fda.org.

Superbowl Sunday: Let’s Do This
For all things good and sacred, I beg you to see the above image not as inspiration, but rather a symbol of all things heinous in the world of food. Dont’ be That Guy. Thank you.

Two Children Killed by Delivery Truck in NYC
So sad. Two children were killed today and one was seriously injured by a runaway delivery truck in NYC’s Chinatown. Absolutely devastating. Everyone is hurting. From AP:
CHINATOWN— Two children were killed today and one critically injured when a delivery van for the restaurant China Chalet at 47 Broadway jumped a curb and pinned the children to a building. In one account the driver told police he left the van running, while another has him backing up when the children were hit.

Personal Cup Noodle Machine, If You Need It You Need It
Our first impression is, “Oh haale naw.” But who are we to judge? The idea makes a lot of sense for game rooms, convenience stores, dorms, even 24-hour study halls. I guarantee it would have sold out at my school, every single day. 300JPY seems a little steep for dried noodles and questionably clean water, but choosing Cup Noodles probably indicates you aren’t that picky to begin with.

Cooking Mama Apron, Don’t Worry Mama Will Fix It
All I really want to say about this apron is what a bitch Cooking Mama is to play on Wii. Seasoned cooks will be frustrated with its unrealistic, esoteric gameplay, much like how seasoned bowlers (i.e. my father-in-law) can’t stand Wii Bowling. ”It does not even curve at all, anak!”
Unrelated, the apron’s applique layers are pretty cool. But the game sucks!

Mo-Bama: Inaugural Luncheon Recipes Online
We originally started this post with, “What recession? Break out your lobsters!” However, today is a celebration. And at celebrations, we always make things a little special, even in tough times. It’s a nod to past hard work and future success. It’s a way of saying, we may not have much now, but we will. And when we do, we’ll invite everyone over and have a great feast…together.
Or, it’s fatcats getting fatter on our dime. Your call!

Obama Sworn In, Indisputably the Top Top Chef
Call us cynical, but we doubt Obama (or “O’Bama” according to Curbly) makes tuna salad when the cameras go off. On the other hand, you can totally smell Michelle Obama’s shortbread, can’t you? With hints of (very sophisitcated) orange and lemon peel, and just a kiss of amaretto? Right? Right? Fuck no!

Chandeleir of Dirty Forks and Spoons, Recycling Gone Too Far
From artist Luis Luna, a glowing orb of greasy forks from the take-out counter. How sweet. The message to re-use and re-imagine is admirable, though this…how do we say it…misses the mark.
Like the shadows. Put this thing on the floor!
