Cookie Monster has always known what’s up with the letter ‘C’. Smart cookie, that Cookie. Not only does his favorite treat start with ‘C’, so does his lesser-known other favorite treat: coffee! (It’s pretty obvious if you notice what a spazz he is.) Being the obsessive type, there is no other mug everybody’s favorite monster would choose other than one picturing himself.

The internet loves to bacon (is it a verb yet?) and Instructables users are in on the meme. The DIY-encouraging website is sponsoring a contest where winners can take home an iPad 2 or a bacon-making All-Clad skillet. Just post your fave use of bacon and you are entered in The Bacon Challenge. As you can see from the entry pictured above (from kaptaink_cg), anything goes. Be sure to check out all of the bacon entries.
The Bacon Challenge is simple: make something amazing that involves bacon. We know, bacon is already pretty amazing on its own – therein lies the challenge! Dress it up, build with it, get creative with your porcine bounty. The challenge is to make something both original and bacon-related. If it’s about bacon, it’s eligible.

Cooking is messy business. When it is not food scraps littering the workspace, it’s spills and splashes finding a way to get on and in to everything. One way to keep grease from raining down on the stovetop is with the High Domed Stainless-Steel Mesh Splatter Cover. Like any splatter screen, it features a fine mesh construction, but with its high-domed nature and its convenient opening for utensils, this particular model offers expanded usability. Fits 10-inch to 12-inch diameter pans. Oh, and it’s dishwasher-safe, meaning that no matter what you throw at it this cover has you, well, covered.

Even after all these years, do you still occasionally feel like you ‘could’ve had a V8’? It’s a classic advertising campaign that millions are familiar with. However, modern times require a bit more sophistication in communication and Campbell’s, makers of the vegetable and fruit juice blend, have done so by creating two new flavors to speak to more palates. The two new varieties of V8 V-Fusion vegetable and fruit juice are: Concord Grape Raspberry and Concord Grape Raspberry Light. See what Campbell Soup Company has to say about it after the jump.
It doesn’t exist yet, but it could with your help. The Ventu Strainer Bowl, a Quirky project is a mash-up between a colander and a serving bowl. For whatever reason, colanders have always enjoyed a reputation as something to avoid in the kitchen–it is just too tempting to try to strain pasta and whatnot with either the lid or a fork. Capitalizing (maybe) on this idea is a project that needs your support.
If 1800 people commit to purchasing one, it will exist. While it looks like it would be an elegant solution to a common kitchen shortcut, it appears that it may have some limitations, mainly the concept of it being a wet serving device one would bring to the table. Get around that though with something to rest it in and you got yourself something there. In any event it’s a good idea that only needs a little help.
***Spoiler Alert. It doesn’t exist. The idea however is not down the drain. Check out this 4-1 Colander meets bowl meets strainer meets… slicer?
