food: December 2007 Archives

I stumbled upon Janet D. Stemwedel's (of ScienceBlogs) foray into building gingerbread houses using sustainable building design practices. The gingerbread house was for the Bake for a Change contest.

Unfortunately, the Flickr group only has one contestant's entries. I'm really excited to see other contestants' entries, though.

Modern Toilet in Taipei serves food on toilet shaped bowls, and has toilets for seats:

The money quote:

"It's newfangled and funny, we've never eaten on toilets before, even at home!"

What, you don't eat on your home's toilets?

From Never Bashful With Butter, comes the addition of bacon to the quintessential chocolate chip cookie:

This whole thing started the other night when my husband and I were having a conversation about what foods could and could not be made better with the addition of bacon...

...Typically, I would never advocate the addition of meat to a sweet cookie, but I've always viewed bacon as "the candybar of meats" so I only felt slightly weird about it.

Amazingly enough, these cookies are DELICIOUS.

Being mostly vegetarian, I can't try these myself, but perhaps the adventurous among you might find the recipe behind the link interesting.
