Cooking Show Classic: Julia Child on Lobsters

Julia Child takes on some live lobsters in this classic clip from The French Chef.



Side note - I really love The French Chef theme song. It's so cheerful that hearing it just makes me happy. I know I'm a dork.

Sappy Stacey Moment: Just for Men Commercial

I know I'm a total dork, but I think these father/daughter commercials for Just for Men  hair color are cute.



There's another one where the dad is going on a job interview instead of a date, but I couldn't find that one on YouTube.

Now, do I think that the dad in this commercial really needed to dye his hair to make himself more of a "nice catch"?  Of course not.  But I still 'awww' at these ads every time I see them.  Like I said, total dork.

Some of My Favorite Sites Right Now

Here are ten sites that are favorites of mine right now.  This list should give you some idea of the topics that I'll probably be blogging about a lot.

1. Food Network Humor - I love to cook and watch cooking shows, but I also think the Food Network can be pretty ridiculous sometimes, so I spend a lot of time checking out Food Network Humor.
2. Design*Sponge- This is "a daily website dedicated to home and product design". I could spend hours looking through all of the cool stuff that the Design Sponge team posts every day.
3. Decor8 - Founder Holly Becker says, "I created decor8 to catalog beautiful finds and to inspire others."  Mission accomplished.
4. Orangette - Food blog written by Molly Wizenberg.  I love her column in Bon Appetit and I love this blog. Wonderful recipes, beautiful photos, and great food writing.
5. Cake Wrecks - Yeah, I know, who doesn't love Cake Wrecks?  But that's because it's hilarious.
6. Regretsy - Where DIY Meets WTF
7. Fred Flare - I could spend so much money shopping this site.  Cute clothes and extra super cute home accessories.  How have I lived without an ice cream cone lamp and a cheeseburger phone?
8. Coconut & Lime - Another awesome food blog.
9. The Semi-Homemade Cooking forums on TWoP - Sandra Lee's Food Network show tops my "love to hate" list, so reading this forum is like hanging out with a bunch of like-minded (and hilarious) friends.
10. Better Living Through Design - Features a wide variety of cool, interesting, and sometimes just plain wacky items.  Fun and inspiring.
