Han Solo + guacamole = WRONG.  Maybe tasty, but wrong.Â

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!Â

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!

Thanks and have fun running the country!

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!

Serious Eats lays down their top 10 worst Halloween treats. In my opinion, candy corn has to be #1 on the list.  Grooosss. Ditto no-name taffy.  It tastes like shit.  Other additions would be popcorn balls, jawbreakers and fortune cookies. They’ll all land your house in flaming dog poo heaven.

I like Dum-Dums,  though!  Whoever said they got pennies for Halloween was pretty funny. Â
