So, now to the really important stuff…

1. This person made a chair out of a shopping cart.
2. Photos of Vintage Supermarkets, Grocery & Convenience Stores on Flickr.
3. Speaking of grocery stores, here are 6 subtle ways you’re getting screwed at the grocery store from the ever-fabulous Cracked.
4. And finally, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but what a horrible idea: Candwich Debuts: Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich In A Can.

Finally, we’ve added 600 new scans of found lists so now we’re only several thousand behind (although 2,900 are posted here). Links are in the right column.

FIRSTLY,

Filmly: Ever wonder how abandoned shopping carts end up where they do? Check out this great short film by Jesse Rosten.

Cart – The Film from Jesse Rosten on Vimeo.

Lostly: For more on the subject be sure to see “The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification.”

Minely: And of course you already know I wrote a book based on this very site. Right? You knew that didn’t you? It’s called “Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found” and you can buy it. Or you could buy my other book.

SECONDLY,

Creeply: The creepiest refrigerator of all time? I think I’ve seen worse. In fact, if you want creepy try looking at these gross food packages, or this amazing mask, or anything on this page.

Bestly: There is a rumor that this is the world’s best pancake recipe. Let’s all try it and see.

Cholesteroly: I can vouch for this apple dumpling recipe, though. Made it. Insane. Yum.

Mathly: If you’d rather skip the heart attack, then try making a mathematically correct breakfast — yes, a real Mobius Sliced Linked Bagel.

LASTLY,

Linky: I added my del.icio.us feed as a linkblog on the keaggy.com home page, making that the first design change to the page since I posted that layout in 2002.

Run-on-sentencey: Last month I went to SXSWi and had fun and met cool people I’d only known online and saw others I hadn’t seen in a long time and I came home inspired to make things but not quite sure what then it hit me that while there are hundred of funny and strange periodic tables out there on the web there was no periodic table that rounded up the best of the periodic tables. So I made one.

Oh, and here’s the token grocery link: Healthy Eating Begins at the Supermarket — Learn to efficiently shop for healthy foods.

Later.

Specimen #1: A completely insane apple dumpling recipe

I made these New Year’s Eve. Even though I had some champagne that night, I ended up having a butter hangover instead. Awesome. Photo above ©Ree Drummond (Via Fluid Pudding)

Specimen #2: Match & Munch Sandwich Cutters (Set of 4 Puzzle Shapes)

Even though I hate to encourage the cutting off of crusts, these sandwich slicers are pretty cool.

This is just fantastic.

Specimen #7: Hunt for shop nut who smelled staff member’s bum
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2779253/Hunt-for-shop-nut-who-smelled-staff-members-bum.html
I’m about as opposed to The Sun newspaper as I am cutting the crusts off sandwiches, but how can you pass on this story?

That is all.

General Mills is putting several classic cereal box designs back on shelves in stores like Target.

Cool. I wish Detroit would do this with cars.

In the meantime, have a look at this really interesting Food Timeline:

Ever wonder what foods the Vikings ate when they set off to explore the new world? How Thomas Jefferson made his ice cream? What the pioneers cooked along the Oregon Trail? Who invented the potato chip…and why? Welcome to the Food Timeline!

Food history presents a fascinating buffet of popular lore and contradictory facts. Some people will tell you it’s impossible to express this topic in exact timeline format. They are correct. Most foods we eat are not invented; they evolve.

• The 11 Best Foods You Aren’t Eating
• The 20 Healthiest Foods for Under $1
• Eight foods you should eat every day
• Ostrich, and the 7 other foods you should be eating
• The 29 Healthiest Foods on the Planet

On a semi-related note (how not to eat), I just finished the 6th annual celebration of National Sandwich Month over at keaggy.com: http://www.keaggy.com/sandwich/. You can see the results (58 sandwiches!) over on Flickr too.
