"abc" news and stories

I haven't had a chance to really get into Pushing Daisies, one of the new shows that premiered this season, because I have class on Wednesday nights when it airs (I know I could watch it online, but that seems like far too much commitment to television viewing for me). I watched it once and the thing that captured my attention the most was all the amazing pies that the main character creates in his bakery/cafe, The Pie Hole. While I was watching, I started to wonder if there was a place where you could find recipes for the those pies.

That thought dropped away from my mind until a couple of days ago, when I got an email From Bake Space, saying that they had created a special page, devoted to recipes from the Pie Hole. I think this one, for Mixed Tomato Cobbler with Gruyere Crust sounds pretty amazing (although it might be one to save for summer when tomatoes are amazing).

I've never seen a single episode of the show, but if you're big Lost fan, you can click over to eBay and make a bid on Apollo Candy Bars. The candy bars that are eaten by the plane crash survivors and being dropped in mysterious food shipments to the island. The candy bars sell for $10 to $60.

The auctions are part of ABC's marketing campaign for Inside the Experience, which is a Web-based virtual world. Lost fans who acquire a bar "are instructed to take a picture of themselves holding the wrapper and upload it to a 'Lost Experience' site." Additionally, there are "Golden Oracle" bars included with the regular candy bars. If you get an oracle bars, you can upload a code from the wrapper. According to the site, when enough fans have uploaded the oracle codes, a mysterious character named Persephone will reveal more "revelations."
