I’m so happy that I made Obama pie!

Yes we can.

Cupcake Bitches

James Duncan Davidson on gourmet cupcakes:

I wandered around SoHo and the Village, ending up at Magnolia Bakery. Of course I got a cupcake. It was indeed good, but I have to say that Portland�s Saint Cupcake has them beat, hands down on the cupcake front.

Fucking cupcake bitches, call me back when they have cup-pies.

Pastomelet

What do you get when you cross some pasta with an omelet? Why you get a Pastomelet of course! A new creation from my labs that’s guaranteed to satisfy all those carb and protein cravings at once! It’s also a great way to finish of the last of that huge batch of pasta you cooked last night even though you don’t exactly want to eat straight pasta again.

Anyway, enough talk, check out the dead simple recipe.

Stephen Colbert Ice Cream

The newest Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream: Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream. Featuring vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel with all the profits going to charity. Colbert’s word: “I’m not afraid to say it. Dessert has a well-known liberal agenda. What I hope to do with this ice cream is bring some balance back to the freezer case.”

Nice!

Ben & Jerry’s American Pie Ice Cream Review

Ben & Jerry’s American Pie Ice Cream tastes just like it sounds, which is to say, absolutely fucking fantastic.

…The political message doesn’t hurt either…

Jack White Related Videos

Jack White, a.k.a V, seems to have been pretty busy recently. I’ve found a few music videos that’s he’s provided the music for on the web recently, so I’m passing around the linkage Kottke Remaindered Links style.

First up is the music video for ‘Steady, As She Goes’ (?iTMS). This is the first single from the Jacks’s new project with Brendan Benson (?iTMS) called The Raconteurs (warning: link may resize your browser window). The first album Broken Boy Soldiers comes out in just a few weeks on May 16th. It sounds like really good stuff.

White also wrote a new little song called ‘Love is the Truth’ that is featured in a new Coke Commercial titled ‘What Goes Around’ that’s available (“for a limited time” apparently) on this Coke UK site. One news outlet (probably quoting a press release) describes it this way: “The commercial is intended to convey White’s premise that one act of kindness begets another.” It’s really wonderful, but it’s also very grainy (I wish they had a higher quality version available). The commercial will be airing just once in the UK after showing up during Australia’s MTV VMAs, so Coke apparently doesn’t think it’s very good at hawking their product. Kind of a shame.

Since the site tries to prevent you from saving the file (even with QuickTime Pro) and it’s supposedly “limited” (whatever that really means), I’ve put up an iPod-ready version of the file here.

Update (5/2/06): The acoustic version of ‘Steady, As She Goes’ (?iTMS) is the iTunes free single of the week. Huzzah!

TJ’s NYC Open!

The new NYC TJ’s opens today. I’d totally go the first day; but I just spent way too much at Whole Foods. Damn it.

Mexi-Asian Dinner Creation

Nick — Fri, 18 Nov 2005 01:29:09 +0000

So I screwed up while cooking cooking tonight and had to move to plan B: scrambled eggs. I can’t stand eating just plain scrambled eggs though so I decided to put something in them. Perhaps my favorite addition to eggs is salsa, but after adding that I felt it still needed something. I had some edamame lying around in the fridge so I threw those in too (I’m already on plan B right, so why not risk plan C?).

I wasn’t expecting it to be that good (I was ready to have cereal), but to my surprise it turned out to taste pretty great. So I’m sharing the idea with the world. See Mexi-Asian Scrambled Eggs on the new Google Base (in Beta of course).

Update (5/29/06): Google ‘Disapproved‘ this item because it broke their Program Policies for some reason (can’t quite figure that one out). So instead I’ve used a little app that I just picked up called Connoisseur to upload it here.

Chocolate Covered Bacon

Nick — Sun, 02 Oct 2005 04:32:14 +0000

I’m a vegetarian and I don’t like chocolate all that much, but I must admit I’ve got a sick fascination with Chocolate Covered Bacon. Is that so wrong? (Via Slashfood.)

Trader Joes in NYC

Nick — Sat, 24 Sep 2005 05:24:08 +0000

I’ll keep this short & sweet: a new Trader Joe’s should be opening in Union Square sometime towards the end of this year or the beginning of the next. Check out this Tracking Trader Joe’s post for more. Oh man, this is gonna be so awesome!

PS: Thanks for the link Mom.
