food

I forgot to post here, after posting to different social networks—when NASA's Juno orbiter was placed in Jupiter's orbit, it just so happened to coincide with my family's Sunday night crêpe tradition (see how to make gluten/dairy/egg-free crepes, or how to make normal crepes).

So what did I do? I used some peanut butter, cream cheese, and nutella to try to depict a tasty food version of Jupiter:

A few years ago, I posted a quick and simple sweet crêpe recipe, along with directions for making the crepe (I highly recommend using a dedicated crepe maker like the one I have, a CucinaPro 12" Griddle, but a normal crepe pan works as well).

Often, someone comes up with a brilliant idea, and later, upon realizing how much work the idea will take to come to fruition, the person gives up on the idea. However, when the idea is good enough, one might sacrifice quite a bit to make the idea reality.

Such was the case when, about six months ago, my then-fiancée and I decided we loved Chai Tea Latte. In fact, we became somewhat addicted to the substance. It didn't help that my sister and her husband encouraged the addiction :)

After being introduced to some great-tasting homemade chai mix in Christmas 2009, Natalie and I decided we wanted to make enough chai mix to give two servings' worth to each guest at our wedding reception. Little did we know how much time and effort it would take to make this wedding favor.

Not only did we want the mix for each guest; we also wanted to put the mix into 'cute' little baby food jars with cloth-covered lids and custom labels. Cue step 1 - gathering supplies! Click through to continue reading...

Give me back that Filet O' Fish, give me that fish!
Give me back that Filet O' Fish, give me that fish!
What if it were you hanging up on this wall?
If it were you in that sandwich you wouldn't be laughing at ALLLLLL!

Above are the lyrics for one of the most annoying... yet intriguing commercials ever! Who remembers McDonalds' commercial (old big mac comm)? I sure do! Looks like they have another great and catchy tune on their hands, although this one doesn't have much in the way of logical sense to it.

You can download the jingle (or just listen to it) and be amazed... for hours and hours!

• Here's an MP3 of Give me back that Filet O' Fish.
• Here's an M4R (ringtone for iPhone) of Give me back that Filet O' Fish.

And below are the two (2009 and 2010) TV commercials run by McDonalds to promote their Filet O' Fish sandwich. Who can ignore a talking fish, mounted on a wall?
