Acme, God of All-Purpose Kitchen Gadgets

Never give a Christmas nutcracker to a crabby god.

For those of you interested in a healthy diet and wholesome fruit, here is a recipe for chocolate fruit and nut cases from Dessert Net.

And here is a tower featuring lots of little chocolate truffles from Chocolate Juice containing various fruit items to make you healthy, wealthy, and wise, provided you like getting up with the early birds. These are supposed to be for receptions and parties and things, but I see no reason why an individual shouldn't order one or two for the festive season, or just for breakfast.

While you're feasting on truffles, you can watch an exciting video from Genesis Attachments that shows their Demolition Recycler shears hard at work shearing things. There's also an excellent portrait photo of the shears doing what they do best.

Demolition is not just a craft; it's an art.

The Easter bunny is watching you....

Acme All-in-One Kitchen Gadget Found in UFO's Everywhere

What the aliens don't realize, of course, is that the handy, all-in-one kitchen gadget has been superseded by the all-in-one Swiss Army knife, which is not only handy in the kitchen, but can do your tax returns as well (special, corkscrew accounting tool featured on specially marked knife units).

Yes. It's Thanksgiving morning here in wicked auld Toronto, but no one sleeps in because the elderly, deaf and half-blind cat wakes up throughout the night thinking he's all alone and abandoned, and sends out a piercing alarm to summon caregivers and ward off demon dogs.

Here is an ad for an air-raid siren.

And here, on the Bird Face blog, are some pictures of extraordinarily large chocolate bars. And here's yet another giant chocolate bar.

It's time for a healthy, nutritious breakfast. Rutabagas, turnips and beets should do it. And this chocolate croissant pudding recipe from the LA Times--the pudding, not the recipe.

Top o' the morning to ye!
