Vintage Confections makes some of the coolest lollipops I’ve seen. Space, dice, skulls, superheros, emoticons and insects are just some of the decorative options they have available. Most lollipops are available in the flavor of your choice (I’m loving options like champagne, cinnamon roll, and banana cream) and many are […]

Leather Book Case for MacBook Pros

I’m suffering roomie withdrawals from SDCC, so I’ve been gravitating towards book-themed goodies (a favorite of my roommate, Rachael’s) over the past couple days. She and I shared many great conversations on books, and I now have a giant list I need to get started on. When I’m not reading, I want […]

I ordered this Kanamit cookbook (from Twilight Zone’s “To Serve Man” episode) from Entertainment Earth almost a year ago, and it FINALLY arrived! I can’t wait to start writing all of my recipes and new cooking projects in it. I received a fully bound version (you can see it here, […]
