Yes. For real. They're for sale. Unfortunately for some of us, they're from England so it might take awhile to get here.

German Bacon Paper (1970s)

This made me giggle. So much love put into a pork-wrapping product.

A perfect wrapping paper for your piggy themed gifts, or just for a bacon sandwich in your lunchbox. This is vintage german packaging paper for lard and pork products. Great pig and a nice bit of type. 27cm wide and 100cm long.

School lunch in Japan is not just about eating.

This is SO lovely to watch for SO many reasons.

According to this video, Japanese school lunchtimes are not treated as a break – they are used to teach children about food sources, hygiene, respect, service, appreciation and responsibility.



p.s. I think this is actually from 2013, but it's going viral right now.

PieGram - send someone a pie.

Need a perfect, unique gift? Look no further than PieGram. I had no idea this existed, much less that it's a fine local business from Milwaukee.

PieGrams are made with love in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at Honeypie Cafe.  We make our mini pies in small batches, by hand with locally and regionally sourced ingredients. PieGrams are shipped out on Mondays and Wednesdays via the United States Postal Service Two-Day Priority mail.  We can ship anywhere in the continental U.S. PieGrams can also be purchased in person at our store in Milwaukee if you need one right away. 

Orders include cute cards by Milwaukee artists:

Dwellephant

Francisco Ramirez

Matthew Fleming

Sarah Linkus

Check the PieGram site for full details.

I read last night (in an article I don't have time to find) that to make sure the pies are destroyed in the mail, they made pies, put them in the trunk of their car and drove around for a few days. Midwest quality assurance rules.

Indulgence Chocolatiers.

A little local love here for Indulgence Chocolatiers, made right here in The MKE. (I got mine at Beans & Barley, if you're local and interested.)

But first - a confession. I ate a $6.75 chocolate-with-sea-salt bar in one sitting last night. I'm not proud that I did it, but it was was all, "Oh, hey - I'm supersmooth chocolate with salty little crystals that pop into the sweet melty chocolate in your mouth." And I was all, like, "DAMN you. I'm powerless against your sweet and savory wiles." (Except way more muffled because I had a mouth full of chocolate.)

And now that I know they have espresso/limoncello truffles (WHAT?), I'm almost terrified. Buy some of this crack for someone you love. Free shipping until 2/11.







Every morsel of chocolate offered by Indulgence Chocolatiers is meticulously handcrafted in our Milwaukee area kitchen. Our use of the finest imported Belgian chocolate gives our delicacies their rich flavor and smooth texture. As delicious as they are beautiful, our chocolates are sure to impress even the most sophisticated palate.
