Guess what? Today is National Scrabble Day! I suggest celebrating by inviting a few friends over for a rousing Scrabble tournament. Munch on these delicious edible scrabble tiles (that are actually Meyer lemon sugar cookies!) while you add up triple word scores and fight over whether “Khaleesi” counts as a proper English word.

I’m Sorry, I Refuse To Drink A Semen Cocktail
I can endorse sperm as a cure for morning sickness or even as a natural mood booster, but, I’m sorry, I refuse to drink a semen cocktail. We all have to draw the line somewhere and this where I draw mine. I refuse to walk into a bar and order a “Galliano Cum Shot” or a “Slightly Saltier Caviar.”
In the new book Semenology: The Semen Bartender’s Handbook, Paul “Fotie” Photoenhauer, who also wrote Natural Harvest: Collection of Semen Based Recipes, teaches us how to mix selected spirits to enhance the delicate flavors of semen. To quote the Amazon book description:
“Driven by a commitment and passion for the freshly harvested ingredient, Semenology pushes the limits of classic bartending. Semen is often freshly available behind most bar counters and adds a personal touch to any cocktail.”
Since when is semen freshly available behind most bar counters? Never mind. I don’t want to know. This better not become the new mixology trend.[Huffington Post]

Weekend Project: S’mores Brownies With Peeps
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Peeps have begun their annual invasion of the grocery store candy aisle. I found a bunch of peeps recipes that involved melting them down into bright blue liquid to stir into popcorn, or heating them up and squashing them between two graham crackers, their drooping beaks peeking out from under a layer of molten chocolate. These peeps massacres made me kind of depressed, so I decided to go with a recipe that kept each Peep relatively intact: s’mores brownies with Peeps. No Peeps are harmed in the making of these brownies. At least until you eat them. Enjoy! [Shugary Sweets]
Kill Your Hanger With Kindness
Because of my hanger issues (that wasn’t a typo — I get irrationally angry when I’m hungry), I must carry snacks with me at all times. But finding the perfect, portable snack can be difficult. Must be healthy-ish. Must not get squished in purse. Must not require refrigeration. Must keep me full so I don’t get hangry again after five minutes. KIND Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt bars meet all my snack criteria. The blend of almonds, peanuts, and walnuts with a touch of sea salt is sweet and savory at the same time. Even better, its got 7grams of fiber and 6grams of protein for maximum snack efficiency. [$20.60/ Box of 12, Soap]
10 Dream Oreo Inventions
The Oreo Separator
This guy invented a machine that separates an Oreo cookie from its creme. Read More »
When I was eight, pretty much all I cared about in life was My Garbage Pail Kids collection and how I could get my hands on more Big Stuff Oreos. I was allowed to have one every day with lunch, which was the equivalent of about four regular Oreos, but still, that wasn’t enough for me. In my mission to get more Big Stuffs, I befriended a girl in the neighborhood because her mom always kept them in the house. We had nothing else in common besides our love of the giant, creme filled cookies. It was a social sacrifice I was willing to make. Clearly, if I had to choose, I was, and still am, a creme over cookie person — though as Oreo is reminding us with their newest campaign, there is no wrong answer. (Check out their new site — and declare your loyalty — here.)
Anyway, when they discontinued the Big Stuffs in 1991, and I had to revert to eating a fistful of Double Stuff Oreos, I’ll admit, I went through a period of mourning. I still hold out hope that they’ll bring them back. I even joined the Facebook group in support. It’s OK to dream. But until then, I’ve been busy concocting some other kinds of Oreo inventions that would make me just as happy as the return of Big Stuffs. Maybe. Keep reading »
