Girl Scout Cookie Pairings
It's a question that comes up often this time of year. What wines and beers should I pair with girl scout cookies?The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette interviewed experts to find the answer. Basically, you want sweet wines and beers, but they offer some more specific recommendations. For instance:
Thin Mints: a sparkling Shiraz, or a hoppy, chocolatey American porter.
Samoas: a fortified wine (such as R.L. Buller Victoria Tokay), or a dry, Irish stout aged in bourbon barrels.

New Use For Baby Poo
Research to produce sausage containing probiotic properties is being undertaken in Spain. They are working with bacteria found in baby poo to make the specialized sausage. The idea is to make getting probiotics from food easier for people who do not like dairy products such as yogurt.

Shocking Peas
A recent Daily Mail article about a woman who is suing her lawyer for failing to explain to her that "finalising her divorce would terminate her marriage" contains another little nugget of weirdness toward the end:Just one week after getting married, a woman in Kuwait has filed for divorce after discovering her husband prefers to use bread, rather than a fork, to eat peas. Traumatised by the 'shocking sight', she said she could no longer live with him, owing to his lack of etiquette.
At least he doesn't use his fingers. That would be really barbaric.

Exploding Artichokes
Police have ruled out any kind of artichoke-themed terrorism, theorizing instead that fertilizers on the vegetable may have caused an explosive chemical reaction.
Strangely, this is just the latest in a series of exploding artichokes that have gone off in Italy. Previous incidents occurred in 2003 and 2008. [theregister.co.uk]

Football Meat Loaf
I don't think that shaping the meat loaf like a football makes it look more appetizing. And I don't understand at all the pairing of chewing gum and meat loaf.
