Alright, frankly, I find the following pieces of art to be a bit disgusting. They definitely don’t meat my tastes artwise anyway. Regardless, I must admit that these could have a meateor-like impact on the food-art scene. Puns aside, take a look. If you’d like to celebrate your love of meat without hanging raw meat…

It’s not too late to start! With just under 50 days until the 49th annual CYSF, now is a good time to get researching, if you haven’t already. The Calgary Youth Science Fair is an amazing opportunity for students grades 5 – 12 to explore a specific scientific interest to its fullest. Every year, almost…
The life cycle of chewing gum is generally as follows: processing -> packaging -> sale -> consumption -> spitting out into the garbage -> life in the landfill. On rare occasions, in the hands of the right people, such as Jason Kroenwald of Ancaster, Ontario (he now resides in Toronto) this life cycle is changed.…
The Olympics are starting in less than a month, and to get everyone feeling extra patriotic, I thought I’d let you know about a cool contest that is going on.

The other day a friend and I were discussing about dreams and whether if you die in your dream, do you die in reality? This got me more interested in the topic and thankfully after some ‘googling’ and research, the answer is no! (Phew) Dreams have been around for quite some time; at least as long…
Don’t touch that dial! There’s more bread art coming up. Well actually, since this bread art is two-dimensional, perhaps you will have to change the dial to do some shading… The Bread Art Project was created when the Grain Foods Foundation and Ted Allen, host on the Food Network, partnered up with Feeding…
I don’t know many people who hate sweets, but it seems that we sometimes have sugar cravings and don’t know why. One view is that sweets are associated with fun, happiness, or celebration. If you win a basketball game, you could celebrate with ice-cream. Some people have sugar cravings because it is a routine or…
The last time I had a nightmare, it wasn’t about bread. I wouldn’t think that it was so strange if meat appeared murderous, but gruesome grains? Be warned: the following bread may give you nightmares. And now that you have sufficient reason to think twice about heading to the kitchen alone for a midnight…

With Midterms and finals going on, we are sure to be stressed. The best cure for that is laughter. Laughter reduces the level of stress hormones in the brain, such as cortisol and dopamine. It also increases the number of anti-body producing cells and enhances the effectiveness of T-cells. It also gives you a great…
So while in search of something to blog about, I stumbled across a neat website. I was actually in the process of googling Paper Root and Twisted Goods (both of which are stores that I absolutely adore…located in Eau Claire and Southcentre, respectively, and both are also in Market), hoping that they had websites. They don’t…
