Pizza Hack

I thought this was a really great idea for a pizza box. If you're ordering a pizza, it seems like this would be a good box to get it in. It breaks down into 4 plates and a smaller storage container for leftover pizza. Thanks to Slice.seriouseats.com and ecoincorporated.com for this cool item.

Free Ice Cream Cone

Tomorrow is free cone day at Ben and Jerry's. Thanks to www.seriouseats.com for the tip. Here is a list of the locations offering free cones tomorrow.

The Ratio of Ingredients

Check out this chart! It's a recipe breakdown of basic ingredients such as eggs, flour, water, sugar and how much you need of each to get the recipe outcome you desire. It's from Michael Ruhlman's new book, Ratio:The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking. How awesome is that? I like the bare basic approach to it. Knowing the fundamentals allows for experimentation. You can read an interview with Ruhlman by Lifehacker.com here.

Easter Eggs

Tell me those aren't some of the coolest dyed eggs you've ever seen. My husband just sent me this link and I had to pass it on. I want to talk more about dying eggs and I will try to in the upcoming week, but I think I've had one too many beers...And, Revenge of the Nerds is on so here's the link to read about it for yourself:

Old Storage Containers Become Self watering Tomato Planters

I first found this post on lifehacker.com but here's the link to full directions on growing tomatoes in old storage containers. How cool is that? Not only does it conserve water, but you don't even need garden space; just a piece of concrete.
I'm already growing some tomatoes, but I'll definitely try this next year. I'm wondering if I can try this with some other veggies or fruits, maybe strawberries?

Garden Trellis For Small Spaces

My back yard is a good size but I have a small garden area and just today I was struggling with the issue of what vegetables to plant to make the most of the space I have. I happened upon this little tip at tipnut.com. If you lack horizontal space go vertical with a vegetable trellis! Such a great idea, I'm totally gonna get started on it this weekend.

And More bacon

Oh man, I thought canned bacon was scary.... Check this s#*t out!

Thanks to ThinkGeek via Geekologie for that

Stop Letting Your Food Go To Waste

First off, people need to eat the food they buy, since, roughly 25% gets thrown away. You can read the article here. Also, half of US food ready for harvest never gets eaten.

Here's another tip form our friends over at lifehacker

Switch to a two weeks grocery cycle to waste less food

Cook two or three meals' worth of each recipe at the beginning of the two-week period, and immediately freeze the extra portions for the second week. Freeze any meat that you won't be eating within the next 48 hours.

Use up fresh fruits and vegetables first, and then supplement them with just-as-healthy frozen (foods) as you get into the second week. Check expiration dates on dairy products before you buy them; in most cases you can find products that will remain fresh for two weeks or longer. The idea is to always USE UP what you buy before you shop again.

How Long Will Your Food Stay Fresh?
