i bought one at target a coupla years ago for $20, and still use it as my main toaster. rarely poach eggs in it, altho i still sometimes use it for hard-boiled eggs. it's much quicker than the traditional way of boiling eggs, and I like that i'm using one energy cycle to get both toast and eggs. agree with dan that the quality is rather low, but for $20 i can't complain. - Felicia Yue

"The October 26, 2009, Time magazine ran Kathleen Kingsbury’s article titled Sex and the Eco-City. Who knew that “green” creep had made it into the bedroom? Kingsbury describes a market of organic lubricants, biodegradable whips and handcuffs, vegan condoms, and glass or mahogany vibrators (even hand-crankable models, eliminating the need for batteries). To top it off, some Catholic... more... - Jeannie Choi

Really interesting. I liked this line: "Hands are won and lost as the inmates shuffle and toss the cards on top of one another. Their discards form kaleidoscopic arrangements in which the dead and the missing peer up together, as though from a deep, shared hole." - Christopher Chung

"Mr. Lucas acknowledges that the cards have yet to solve a murder in South Carolina, but he emphasizes that they have prompted dozens of tips, including one promising lead in a case more than a dozen years old." - Christopher Chung

Heading back to the subway, I remembered that I had intended to pick one of these up after our lunch at Xie Xie. It has been taunting us via the food blogesphere, and we've been dying to give it a try. And good is was. Great, even. Addictive and heavenly, in fact! This is NOT an overrated dessert. It's sweet, salty, creamy and crunchy. What more could you ask for in a dessert? In addition, it is such a clever play on the real thing. We are in love!

I've not had it as ice cream, but I've occasionally had other desserts that have used black sesame filling of some kind or another. Pretty delicious stuff. - Brian Chang

I’ve wanted for ages to write about Chinese thousand year old egg, also known as century egg or preserved egg (pei dan in Cantonese, pi dan in Mandarin, literally ’skin/leather egg’), but until my recent trip to China, I had no photos. Despite the rather off-putting name, they’re not really a thousand years old. Duck eggs, more commonly used than chicken eggs, are preserved for about a hundred days using a combination of ashes, lime, tea and salt. After this process, the egg white turns gelatinous and amber in colour, while the yolk becomes grey/green and can still be a little gooey in the very centre. - Jeannie Choi from Bookmarklet

Love this stuff. We usually either have it in congee or with cold tofu + thick soy sauce. In congee you don't really get much of its actual flavor since everything's all mixed up to begin with. - ronin

In 1949, LIFE photographer Gjon Mili visited Picasso in Vallauris, France. He showed Pablo some photographs of ice skaters with tiny lights affixed to their skates jumping in the dark. Picasso was immediately inspired, these photos were the result. You can see more of these in this LIFE gallery. - Jeannie Choi from Bookmarklet
