"stuffed" news and stories

It's springtime, and for My Paper Crane, that means new teeny keychains made to look like breakfast food! The company teamed up with hipster toy company Kid Robot to bring us a happy coffee in a to-go cup, a cheerful strawberry, and a stack of pancakes complete with butter pat nose.

I've blogged about Kid Robot before, but a new line of plush accessories just has to be celebrated (sorry, sometimes girliness just gets the best of me). And admit it: even the toughest, most cold-hearted person alive would have to struggle to not crack a smile at these cute little guys. If you're embarrassed, just tell people you're ordering them for a kid, and then hoard them for yourself. At only 5 bucks a pop, you can definitely afford both the grapefruit half and the cinnamon roll, and still have room for lunch. (And the keychains can be removed to turn the toys into rad zipper pulls).

When I think of meats that are stuffed, I tend not to think of cuts like flank steak because of its shape. The relatively thin cut of meat always seemed best suited to grilling and slicing, but I had to admit that it never occurred to me to pound it even thinner and roll it up, stuffing it with other wonderful flavors in the process. The mouth-watering Prosciutto and Roasted Pepper Stuffed Flank Steak pictured here was cooked up by Rachael, from Fresh Approach Cooking. The name pretty much sums up everything you need to know flavor-wise about the dish, but this presentation is outstanding - especially considering that there was no special plating to do once the meat was cooked and no garnish necessary, although you can catch a glimpse of some mixed veggies in the corner of the photo that add a bit of extra color to the plate and round out the meal.
