"bed" news and stories

You know you're a foodie (or on a diet) when you dream about food, but if that isn't enough for you, there are a whole host of pillows out there that will enable you to dream on food, as well. The Food Fun range of pillows from Sofa Garden cover breakfast, lunch/dinner and dessert. The Sushi roll pillows fill in the lunch/dinner slot with Maki rolls, as well as cucumber, tuna and salmon rolls. Dessert delivers chocolate truffles, strawberry cupcakes and a velvety version of the ever-popular wafer candy, Smarties. Far and away the best of all the plush offerings are those served up for breakfast. You'll find toast (with butter, no less!), pancake stacks, fried eggs and coffee beans. You'll have to find bacon pillows elsewhere, but all of the ones that are offered here are available in both small and large sizes.

Breakfast in bed, anyone?

Eating breakfast in bed isn't a piece of cake. Unless you are lucky enough to have someone to bring it to you, you have to get up and prepare the meal before snuggling back under the covers - and getting back into bed isn't even the biggest problem. The real obstacle is that crumbs get under the covers and make the bed scratchy (not to mention the possibility of attracting bugs) the next time you climb in. This Buon Appetito bedding is part napkin, part duvet, with a built-in tie that neatly prevents crumbs from falling anywhere they shouldn't. The bedding is from a couple of German designers and doesn't appear to be available retail yet, but if you're crafty, this shouldn't be a difficult modification to make to a standard bedspread.

Of course, you could also avoid the whole issue of crumbs in the blankets by having eggs instead of toast in bed - but what would be the fun in that?

Breakfast and brunch are the two most popular meals on Mother's Day. It's fun and relaxing to have a leisurely morning meal and easier to schedule than a Sunday dinner out, since school and work the next day can create timing pressures. For some reason, people go out more than they eat in on Mother's Day. Maybe mom doesn't want to get stuck with the dishes, or perhaps no one else in the family can cook? I know that when Mother's Day rolled around, I always wanted to make my mom breakfast in bed. It seemed so luxurious, not to mention that breakfast foods can be easier for a kid to cobble together than other meals.
