The Stuffed Pancake Maker: Breakfast Just Got a Whole Lot Batter

Posted on by

Breakfast: if it isn’t over the top, I’m not interested. Just ask my mom. I also don’t get green vegetables. But I’ll certainly eat an entire stack of stuffed pancakes made with The Original Stuffed Pancake Maker (affiliate link) from Pancake Wow! It makes delicious stuffed pancakes one at a time, or, in layman’s terms, not nearly fast enough for my appetite.

The process couldn’t be easier: you just pour in some batter, add the filling of your choice on top, close the lid, then pour more batter through the hole in the lid to seal in all that delicious goodness. Is your mouth watering? My mouth is watering.

I just bought one, and, God willing, it’ll arrive before the weekend so I can kick off Saturday morning in decadent style. Of course, I’ll have no choice but to make my first batch of pancakes stuffed with LEGO pieces, so my family realizes I’m not to be trusted cooking breakfast. Then all future stuffed pancakes will be made for me while I just sit at the breakfast bar with a glass of OJ and a napkin tucked into the neck of my pajama top. What can I say? I’m a schemer.

Chinese Take-Out Jigsaw Puzzle: Where’s My Fortune Cookie?

Posted on by

Tired of jigsaw puzzles featuring scenic landscapes? I swear, if I have to assemble one more beautiful mountain range at sunrise… Well for those looking for something a little different for their next jigsaw puzzle, how about this two-sided Chinese Takeaway Jigsaw Puzzle from Fizz Creations? The 250-piece puzzle is the shape and image of a Chinese takeout container on one side, and the same shape but all noodles on the other. Great, now I’m hungry.

The puzzle has one glossy side and one matte side to make it easy to distinguish between the two puzzles, which I feel is unnecessary for a puzzle that only has 250 pieces, to begin with. Just make sure to burn a Chinese Takeout scented candle while you’re assembling it for a more immersive experience.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve attempted a lot of jigsaw puzzles during quarantine. My most recent was a 1,500 piece view of Santorini, Italy at dusk. It proved to be difficult. So difficult that I told my wife I didn’t want to finish it since I saw the dogs eat a few pieces and it could never truly be completed, even though it was me who ate those pieces and I hope she never reads this.

Precooked Giant Forest Scorpions: Bet You Can’t Eat Just One

Posted on by

Tired of eating the same old boring dinners every night? Looking for something different to spice things up a bit? How about an up to 4-inch giant Asian scorpion? Mmmmm! Is your mouth watering? My mouth is watering. Honestly, I might be drooling.

Available from the Japan Trend Shop, each giant Asian scorpion has been carefully boiled and dehydrated, with just a small amount of salt added, because who wants to eat their scorpion unseasoned? Apparently, the scorpions are used as both food and medicine in many Asian countries and are also popular pets due to their large size and low venom toxicity. I still wouldn’t let one sting my tongue though, just for the record.

Unfortunately for anybody seriously interesting in eating one, the scorpion snacks cost $53 apiece. Let me make that clear: $53 for a single scorpion. Which brings me to the next order of business: starting our own highly profitable scorpion farm. Obviously, we’ll start in my wife’s shoe closet, but we can expand to the basement as our operation grows.

Ketchup Flavored Candy Canes Are the Ultimate Christmas Condiment

Posted on by

Were you a good boy or girl this year? Doesn’t matter, 2020 has spoken and we’re all getting ketchup flavored candy canes for Christmas anyways. Created by Archie McPhee, a six-pack of “rich tomato flavor” ketchup candy canes costs $6.50 and is sure to be absent from every single Christmas list this year. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t getting them anyways!

I think my favorite part about these things is they look just like traditional candy canes, so you kids won’t realize Santa thought they were bad this year until it’s too late. Will I still sharpen the end of mine to a point and poke my brother in the leg with it until he tells on me? Well, it wouldn’t be Christmas if I didn’t, now would it? They’re called traditions after all.

So… are you thinking what I’m thinking? If it’s “I wonder what one of these would taste like melted on a hotdog” you are! And I, for one, plan on finding out. If it’s as delicious as I imagine, fingers crossed for spicy mustard and sauerkraut candy canes next year!

A Realistic Mutated Monster Toad Cake

Posted on by

Here’s some more next-level cake decorating from Natalie Sideserf of Sideserf Cake Studio. The professional pastry chef in Austin, Texas made a video showing how she made this realistic mutant monster toad cake. The toad was inspired by one of the creatures in the recently released post-apocalyptic Love And Monsters movie. Mmmm, save some warts for me.

I think my favorite things about the cake are the little teeth and all the frog slobber. Those are the kinds of details that really sell the illusion of a real mutant monster toad. Plus, okay, I don’t think any of us have ever actually seen a real mutant monster toad before, but I think we can all agree there’s definitely going to be teeth and slobber.

So, you’re wandering through the forest minding your own business when this thing hops up beside you and tells you it’s really a prince or princess in disguise and if you kiss it, it’ll reveal it’s true identity and you two can live happily ever after – what do you do? If you answered grab it and take your new talking frog show on the road, congratulations, we’re gonna be rich!

These Dexter-Themed Cupcakes Look Too Painful To Eat

Dexter Cupcakes

After a lengthy but much-deserved hiatus, everyone’s favorite serial killer is back for his seventh season on the small screen. Dexter isn’t afraid to shed a little blood (or, okay, make that a whole lot of blood) if he thinks that the person he’s after is guilty. And what better way to celebrate the season premiere with cupcakes that look almost too painful to eat?

New York City’s Magnolia Bakery whipped up a batch of red velvet cupcakes that are generously topped with shards of broken glass. In keeping with the theme, the cupcakes were then drizzled with pig’s blood as a finishing touch. Appetizing, isn’t it? We’re just kidding, of course. The glass is actually clear candy glass and that’s just bloody-red syrup dripping from the frosted cupcakes. Yum!
