April 27, 2012 by noemi

Guns – and weapons in general – tend to bring controversy. While they do have their uses, the potential for abuse is always huge, giving way to staunch opponents. Of course, at the other end of the spectrum, we can find the staunchest of advocates as well.

If you appreciate the beauty of guns but don’t want to dive into the controversy that surrounds it, you might want to check out a different version instead. An edible version that just might give you more pleasure than cold steel.

Enter chocolate weapons. [Read more…] about Chocolate Weapons for the Peaceful Gun Enthusiast

Spock Oven Mitt for the Trekkie Baker

October 11, 2011 by noemi

It’s National Chocolate Week, and people have been making delectable chocolate concoctions all week. Have you been doing your part?

If you are – or think you are – an ace in the kitchen, and you also cannot get enough of Spock and the rest of the Star Trek crew, then here is something that you ought to add to your (kitchen utensils/tools) arsenal: an oven mitt for Vulcans. Now you may not be a real Vulcan and may only be aspiring to be one, but practically everyone can form the Vulcan salute anyway.

The mitt is heat-safe and is made of neoprene, so you can be sure that your precious hands are kept safe while you do what you do in the kitchen. Bad news for lefties – they only mitts that fit the right hand! Still, I am sure you can manage to use this.

This is the front view.

The back of the mitt.

What do you think? While Spock will definitely not need to use the oven – food synthesizer, hello? – it is still a pretty cool accessory to have around for making cookies with yummy MSG. Grab one – or two – at Menino’s for $29.99. (Yes, I think the price is rather steep, especially since it is already at a $10 discount!)

Here’s one last look at the mitt.
