Or any other kind of mold you wish.  Bompas and Parr, named after the two mad scientists behind the company, will custom make you a jelly mold of your liking.  I wonder if they could make a mold of my tiny NYC apartment.  I’d probably need a microscope to see it!

This photo series, shot by Mark Menjivar, is an artist’s exploration in hunger.  By taking pictures of the interiors of American’s refrigerators all across the country, Mark found himself considering the way we care for ourselves and the land through food.  I found myself fascinated.

Holy smokes!  I love pork (pork fat rules, right?) and now I can lay my head on a pork chop without all the mess?? Oh yes.  Sweet Meats pillows are awesome - large pillows shaped as pork chops, ham, beef, or get the “meat medley” of all three - I can hardly contain myself.   And, so cute, a $1.75 lapel button that reads ” I love you more than bacon.”

Oh Yeah Babe!  Tonight, Emeril pops up at the Gosselin house to show Jon, Kate and the cutey-petutey kids, some cooking fun.  A look at the “sneak peek” reveals Emeril sticking up for Jon when Kate gets bossy, and her swatting Emeril with a  spatula!  Yikes.

If you don’t already have this book, buy it now!  The Flavor Bible, written by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg, is like a feast for the culinary mind.

The book is laid out as an index of ingredients, each ingredient listing other ingredients that will pair well with it when cooking.  And in addition to the listing of flavors, there are lots of great quotes and sample menus from celebrated chefs across the nation.  It’s a fantastic source of inspiration for me, and I use the book mostly to brainstorm ideas for new menu items and love to cross-reference the a couple of ingredients to complete a dish.  Another fun way to use the book is to take a look at the odds-and-ends of ingredients in your fridge and see what flavors pair well to create a meal!

Since receiving this book, I have found myself flipping its pages time and time again, always giving me some serious food for thought!

Did you know that President Obama and family have an “Official White House Photostream” page on Flickr?   You can view photos posted almost daily of the goings-ons at the White House!  And if you are like me, you’ll be very interested in what dessert he’s serving at his next dinner party or what Michelle and local students are planting this spring in the beds of the White House Vegetable Garden.  How cool is that?!

From the UK’s Vogue.com, comes a report that fashion house Salvatore Ferragamo has put together a collection of 18th Century fine Italian recipes selected by Prince Don Paolo Borghese.  The book, entitled Le ricette per cucina raccolte dal Principe Don Paolo Borghese, will release in September.  I can hardly wait.

This collection of profiles, put together by the NY Times, is really entertaining and definitely worth spending a couple of minutes listening to.  My favorites, of course, were the stories related to food and drink–The Mozzarella Maker, The Singing Waitress, and The Blind Taster.

My pal Lizzy brought me this box of amazing chocolates from Portland chocolatier, Sara Hart of Alma Chocolate.  These artisan beauties were brilliant - each and every one of them - with the Thai Peanut Butter Cup in the middle being my rock bomb favorite.  Inside is a peanut-buttery center, rich with coconut, ginger, chile and lime (I’m sure I’ve missed something, but that’s what stood out) flavors.  Sara’s chocolates are all intriguing and Lizzy’s coming down to New Orleans soon -I sense a big box of many Thai Peanut Butter Cups in my future…

Wow.  No idea if this will be any good, but I’ll definitely go see the flick just to watch Meryl Streep’s AMAZING impression of Julia Child!   See the Julie and Julia trailer for youself!
