Chocolate Powered Race Car

Seems like a waste of chocolate to me, but I guess it is sustainable... Thanks to Jalopnik.com via Geekologie for information on this edible vehicle.

More Cooking Gadgets

I just found a fun site with a nice list of cooking gadgets. I haven't read them all, but there's a fiberglass crisper for french fries and pizzas from Solutions that I really want. I knew it existed, but now I must have it. I think itwould be great for sweet potato fries that often get mushy.

KITCHEN CONTRAPTIONS

Kitchen Lab

Here's a fun article from popsci.com with a gallery of kitchen tools and appliances from some of the world's top chefs. This is way more fun than a food processor.

Season Your Food at Gun point

This Spice Blaster isn't useless, per say, but I think there are more ideal ways to season your food. I think it might be more fun to use it to create some mayhem rather than in the kitchen. But that's just me...

Cooking Gadgets

If you've read my blog at all you've probably figured out by now that I'm a bit of a geek. With my love of zombies and horror and my links to geeky sites, I'm now in the realm of nerdom. I think I've definitely become more geeky because of my husband. For instance, we're a 2 person household with 5 computers, 2 Macs, 2 PCs and a PC that runs Mac, Windows and Linux. It's a bit much, but just who we are. You can find us on an average evening, after dinner, sitting on the sofa with our laptops. We always laugh because we think of what we look like from our dogs' point of view: 2 people always staring at some box of light (computer,tv, cell phone).

With geekery comes gadgets. Of course my husband loves gadgets, he's a dude, but more and more I've become interested in gadgets of the culinary sort. I'll try to post if I see anything new and interesting but for now, here's a great site www.slashfood.com. They have a great category for food gadgets. Enjoy!
