Hey,

So if you didn't like cake made of pie perhaps you'll enjoy:

A CAR MADE OF CAKE!!!

And here's how they made it.

Hey,

Four words describe it
A million words never could
A cake made of pie

OMGWANT!

Hi,

So, normally I'm a gin man. Vodka never really appealed to me.

But this? Oh I have to get this. The 8 minute video is just the icing on a cake made entirely of icing.

SKULL!

Hey,

There are probably some things better than a bunch of foodies inviting you to Oleana for a celebration and offering to pick up the tab. But I don't know if I'd survive it.

I'm still full!
Tom

p.s. OMG good!

Hey,

So, last night I came up with this idea for a small, DIY gaming convention. As you might guess from the title, the twist for this con is that it's all about Fine Food and Great Gaming. You have attendees break down into groups and each group takes a "meal slot" where it's their job to prepare a meal for the con attendees.

Despite the "Mountain Dew and Doritos" cuisine that most people think of when they think of gaming, there's a surprisingly large number of people who really like to cook as well as game. I figure that a day/weekend of blowing out the stops and cooking up a storm while gaming would be a lot of fun. Especially if you paired some of the food with the games that were running. The late-night wine tastings and Baron Munchausen would be lots of fun too.

The only real problem is finding a suitable space where you have room for gaming and food prep facilities (that's accessible to the con). It's been suggested that perhaps there's a rotating dinner party type deal where the con moves from house to house, which might also work, but seems less appealing than one big space.

...but I gotta say, the best part about the Fall is the fact that Honeycrisp apples come into season.

In case you missed it -- Honeycrisp Apples are the Platonic Ideal of an apple. Yes, they cost like $4/lb. and theres about 2-3 apples per pound, but don't skimp. Go down to Whole Foods, get one and then go eat it. First bite you'll think "It's pure apple bliss!".

That it is, my friend, that it is.

We need to go to Vegas.

We need to hit this restaraunt called the In-N-Out.

We need to order a 250x250.

We need to show these people who's boss.

It's like bucket burger!
