Chow sums up its 10 favorite Julia-isms in time for tonight's release of "Julie and Julia". Our fave? "When a sommelier asked her to name her favorite wine, she replied, 'Gin.'"

Holy adorableness, Batman: Bakerella's pie pops.

BoingBoing finds a great Snopes article about Van Halen trashing a concert venue after finding forbidden brown M&M's in the backstage area. Apparently David Lee Roth used the candies as a litmus test of a venue.

Ikea's New Kitchen Gadgets - Feast Your Eyes

Posted Apr 15th 2009 10:00AM by Alex Van Buren

We've already acknowledged our obsession with IKEA glassware. Now over at The Kitchn (the design arm of Apartment Therapy) they are waxing poetic about the design of Ikea's new spring kitchen accessories from the stylie triple-threat servingware above (TROLSK) to some "cake doilies" called -- no joke -- DRÖMMAR. Um, are we the only ones who think that maybe sometimes the Swedes just make this stuff up to trick us? Like, they just started putting Elven lingo in these catalogs years ago and are waiting to see if we'll catch on?

Anyways. Check out the 15 items The Kitchn has their collective, design-nerdy eye on. They're as curious as we are to see which ones stand up in the kitchen (report back if you've tried one!), and none of the featured items will cause you to shell out more than a ten-spot.

Plagued with fruit flies? Re-Nest shows how to end the invasion

All summer long, I've been buying up bags of tomatoes, quarts of peaches and at least two melons a week. I can't get enough of the sweet flavors and amazing freshness of the produce from my local farms and markets. I have, however, had more than enough of the fruit flies that often tag along with my edible hauls. For the last two months, my kitchen has offered shelter to these diminutive insects and their flitting around is starting to make me feel truly crazy.

Thankfully, just as I was about to round the bend and consider stripping my kitchen bare in order to free myself of the fruit fly plague, Re-Nest has come through with a technique for getting rid of these pests. It involves a cone-shaped piece of paper and a glass of apple cider vinegar and is apparently supposed to work wonders. I'm planning on setting one up when I get home tonight. Hopefully the fruit flies will soon be no more!

Ghostly chocolate fruit

ghosts made from strawberries and chocolate

Looking for some spooky treats to take to a friend's upscale Halloween shindig tonight? Well, you could buy these strawberry ghosts from Godiva for $4.50 a pop. If that is a little beyond your budget, you could try following these directions over at the Kitchen at Apartment Therapy and make your own. They say that all you need is fruit, chocolate, paraffin wax, a small pot, toothpicks and wax or parchment paper. Sounds like a delicious, if potentially frustrating, project. If you give it a shot, let us know how it turns out!

Make your own reusable grocery bags

Back in July, I wrote about my own efforts to carry reusable bags to the grocery store. In that post, I confessed that my reusable bag purchasing habit was potentially canceling out the effectiveness of using those bags, as I kept buying new ones. I'm happy to state that I've gotten that buying bug under control and that I am now using and reusing the same bags (although the one I took to the grocery store today has a funky, spoiled milk smell going on. Scrubbing may be in order).

However I do still long for a new bag or two and happily the Green Home at Apartment Therapy has come to my rescue with a post about ways to make your own grocery bags. They've got links to bags you can knit and bags you can sew. This is very good incentive for me to dust off my Aunt Flora's long-neglected sewing machine and see if I can't make very own, unique grocery bags.
