A few food things
Just in passing:
The tea stick (such a clever thing, I'm just in love with it)
Chocolate deities (including the Galactic Butterfly, Our Lady of Willendorf, and Hotei the Immortal)
...And for those of you who've noticed that the EU is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome this weekend:
The 54 European Union Cakes for the 50th Birthday (we're going to start collecting the recipes: the list proper is here.) Two cakes from each country in the Union. First up, from Germany and England: Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte and Eccles Cakes.
