Madeleine Davies — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:00:00 EST

These days, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting at least three cupcakeries (side note: stop swinging dead cats). You know the places — they have mismatched chairs and vintage wallpaper. They're staffed by cute girls with perfect bangs and all of the cupcakes have clever names like "The National Velvet." The cupcake trend, even with all this talk of the macaron and great donut revival, is still in full swing, but do you know what goes into the making of those charming little cakes? According to this infograph, it's a lot more than you'd think. More »

Harry, David, Dean & Deluca: Chocolate Pagan Easter Symbols And $6,000 Caviar

Dodai Stewart — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:00:00 EST

So: There was an ancient pagan goddess of spring named Eostre who was celebrated during the Vernal (spring) equinox. Hares (and rabbits) were symbols of the fertility of the season; the saying "mad as a March hare" came from the fact that the critters had so much sex during that time of the year. Eggs were also ancient symbols of fertility because, duh, life hatches from them. And back in the day, people would see hares hopping around in meadows and find nests of plover eggs, then mistakenly think that the fuzzy bunnies were laying them. Then arrival of Christianity confused everything and now some people celebrate Jesus with chocolate egg-laying bunnies. Insane? Sure! But there's candy involved, so it's okay. Easter foodstuffs from Harry & David as well as Dean & Deluca, after the jump. More »

Good news and bad news! Sales of boxed macaroni...

dodai — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:45:00 EST

Good news and bad news! Sales of boxed macaroni and cheese are up, reports UPI. Good news because, yum, mac and cheese is delicious comfort food, whether it is authentic or from a box. The bad news? This may be a clear indication that this country is headed toward financial ruin and we're trying to soothe our souls with pasty carbs. Kraft introduced mac and cheese in 1937 — the era known as The Great Depression. Related: So. Hungry. Right. Now. [UPI] More »

Comfort Food: Great For Stress, Except When It's Not

dodai — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:00:00 EST

Yum, here's a "no shit" study that hits the spot: Researchers have discovered that junk food lowers stress levels! Go get a cookie, we'll wait. So, yeah. University of New South Wales pharmacology professor Margaret Morris took lab rats away from their mothers as babies and divided them into groups. One group was on a "lard-laden junk food diet", including cakes, chips and pies. The other was on a low fat diet. Then all the rats went through different behavioral tests, like being exposed to really bright light. Apparently the fat rats weren't fazed by the glare, like, "Dude. It's kinda like, bright in here? Burp." And the thin rats were mega-tense; all, "OMG WTF! What is that?!??!" Anyway, there could be something for humans to learn from this about stress and appetite and why you eat high-calorie food when you're freaking out. Great, right? Except not so much if you're in jail. More »

Oh, and by the way, we totally love James Purefoy, Alan Rickman, Milo Ventimiglia, Peter Saarsgaard, Kevin McKidd, Bill Nighy, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, [Liev Schreiber -Ed.] Jonathan Pryce, Ewan McGregor, James Duval, Willem Dafoe, [David Strathairn. -Ed.] Joel McHale, Patrick Dempsey, Eric Balfour, Sean Connery, Adam Goldberg, Mark Ruffalo, and mmm, Takeshi Kaneshiro, but they're not on this poll. Maybe next time! Meanwhile, there are 22 SEXY and sweet pieces of man candy to choose from... and you only have one vote! Think carefully, hold your applause until the end, have fun!
