"The last one I flipped over was Jesus, so I flipped the spatula, and my husband goes, 'What? There's Jesus!' and he goes, 'Oh my God!'" said Donna Lee of Toledo, Ohio.
Her husband agreed, saying, "There's a face on our pierogi and we choose to believe on Easter it's Jesus."
This makes we want to say.... Holy Toledo!!

Irish researchers develop perfect pizza scanner
DUBLIN, Ireland -- Scientists have developed a machine combining computerized optical scanners and fuzzy logic to build mathematically perfect pizzas.
According to a report in the Times of India, the efforts of Sun Da-Wen and Tadhg Brosnan, researchers at Ireland's University College Dublin, the pizza of the future will be sauced, cheesed and topped with millimetric accuracy.
They've achieved their so-called perfect pizza by taking 25 digital snapshots of 25 pizzas. The details of those images then were broken down and transformed into a mathematical formula to define the optimal pizza crust area and spatial ratio between toppings.
Once used in production, the system will employ cameras that scan pizzas as they're made and compare them against the idea model in the photographic database. If a pie is found topped or sauced disproportionately or unevenly, it’ll be rejected or corrected.

Google search 'ultimate grilled cheese' led me to THIS:
WTF???
that's the most pathetic example of america (and possibly the world)'s favourite sandwich i have EVER seen.
fuck you, gumbeaux.

orange punch, i love you
seemingly only available in Canada, this is hands down the best frozen from concentrate juice on the market. It can soothe a hangover like no other and is guaranteed to quench your thirst anytime.
Generally, it is best to stick to the recommended 3:1 water to juice ratio, but playing with the levels to suit your mood is always a good idea.
It is also perfect for homemade popsicles.
If you haven't had it - go get some ASAP. At 77 cents a can (check your local Price Chopper), you can't lose.
Can we have Chicken Tonight tomorrow?
Chicken Tonight is a brand of jarred sauce intended to be added to browned chicken pieces in a skillet. It was available in 16 flavours such as Honey & Mustard, Country French, Chicken Cacciatore and Thai Green Curry.
The associated advertising slogan was "I feel like Chicken Tonight". In one series of television ads, these words were sung by actors as they 'flapped' their arms and cocked their necks while strutting arpund in a movement similar to the chicken dance.
Here is one of the many Chicken tonight commercials that would appear on a regular basis (specifically during T.G.I.F. maybe between Family Matters and Full House) :
The American version of the product quickly failed, however, it is still popular in Australia, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, where there exists spin-off products such as "Beef Tonight" (click), and more recently "Sausages Tonight".
On the television show The Late Show (Australia) there was a skit made where everyone danced around singing "I Feel Like A Dickhead Tonight" (click here)

molasses: lest we forget
As I bit into a Hollandia oatmeal cookie (I have since learned that Hollandia actually make molasses cookies) the other night - i was reminded of the delicious flavour of molasses. what ever happened to molasses?
well...
Molasses used to be the primary sweetener used in days of yore until refined white sugar pushed it to the back of the shelf. It has a distinctive flavor that brings extra sparkle to spice-laden recipes such as gingerbread, fruitcake, cookies, toffee, baked beans, and sauces.

Though I am not one to endorse preachy food guilt trips and the sensationalization of language for argument's sake, i will admit that Oreos are FUCKED.
In the end - all that article really made me want to do was have a 1 with a side of 3, wash it down with a 6 and finish off with some 8.... maybe go for some 5 later when i'm wasted.

ARMIN MEIWES
"The Homosexual Internet Sex Cannibal"
A lonely bisexual, the product of a tortured, cold and unloving relationship with his late, domineering mother, Meiwes, 42, collected sex and torture scenes off the internet and advertised to meet a "well-built man who wants to be eaten".
He met Bernd-Jurgen Brandes, 43, a computer engineer from Berlin, in an online cannibal "cafe".
Brandes posted an explicit and challenging note: "I offer myself to you and will let you dine from my live body. Whoever REALLY wants to do it will need a REAL VICTIM."
Meiwes, using the name Franky, replied and after an internet courtship, he killed and ate Brandes in March 2001.
They first shared Brandes's severed penis(appetizer). Meiwes says it was "tough and unpalatable". And then Meiwes stabbed his willing victim and cut him up into joints of meat.

those apples look good, but where's the chicken?
Robert C. Baker researched and developed innovative ways to use poultry. His Cornell chicken barbecue recipe has stood the taste test of time, having been showcased for more than five decades at his Baker's Chicken Coop at the New York State Fair in Syracuse, N.Y. Baker developed the recipe while working for Pennsylvania State University, but the barbecue sauce he devised was not appreciated until he joined the Cornell faculty with a mandate to promote New York state's poultry industry.
In 1999, President Bill Clinton, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea, toured the state fair. There they visited Baker's Chicken Coop eatery, specifically to savor a taste of the famous Cornell barbecued chicken. As the first family arrived at the barbecue stand, one of Baker's daughters, Reenie, presented the Clintons with a basket of New York state apples. "Those apples look good, but where's the chicken?" the president asked.
During his career, Baker developed dozens of poultry products. Some of the key products were ground poultry, chicken nuggets and turkey ham. For the chicken nuggets, Baker found a way to keep the breading attached to the nuggets during the frying process. Today the nuggets are a staple in grocery stores and fast-food restaurants. "When the nuggets came out in the 1950s, they weren't too popular," Baker told The Ithaca Journal in a 2004 interview.
Prior to 1980, chicken was packed on ice and shipped to restaurants and grocers. Baker and Joseph Hotchkiss, then an assistant professor of food science and now chair of the department, worked to develop modified atmosphere packaging and vacuum packaging to improve the chicken-shipping process. The late chicken magnate Frank Perdue implemented these ideas immediately, and the processes are used to this day.
Baker was born Dec. 29, 1921, in Newark, N.Y. He earned a bachelor's degree from Cornell in 1943, majoring in pomology at the College of Agriculture. After college he worked for Cornell Cooperative Extension in Saratoga County, N.Y., and took an interest in the 4-H youth program. He received a master's degree from Penn State in 1949 and a doctorate from Purdue University before joining the Cornell faculty in 1957.
In 1970 he founded Cornell's Institute of Food Science and Marketing and served as the institute's first director. He retired in 1989.
