It always amuses me to see how each couple has different, yet strong, views and attitudes about their wedding cake. Some want it traditional: fruit cake and top tier to freeze. At the other end of the spectrum there are those who want to depart from tradition altogether: no cake at all… well, an increasing minority chooses to step away from the all or nothing dilemma and find their own unorthodox cake solutions.
After the cheese stack, here a couple who went for an equally savory pizza wedding cake. Very brave and funny: look at the topper. Perhaps a little messy, once one wants to portion the bulk of the pizzas up, ready for the service.
Another olive of praise from me.
If you're using calorie counts in your diet plan, you might want to leave a little more buffer space. Researchers have found some notable calorie discrepancies between what's given out on health fact sheets and what independent lab tests discover.
In a study by researchers at the American Diabetic Association, a Lean Cuisine package of shrimp and angel-hair pasta listed 220 calories but burned up at 319, while a Wendy's grilled chicken wrap (one of the healthiest foods at Wendy's) promised 260 but loaded in at 344 calories. Some restaurant menu items actually came in under their advertised calorie counts, but that wasn't the norm. Researchers pointed out that restaurant portions obviously vary from customer to customer, and frozen meal makers face stiff penalties for selling underweight packages, so they tend to err on the side of heavier portions.
It's a margin of error—20 percent, by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's reckoning—to keep in mind if your New Year's diet, or any health plan, requires you to keep better track of how much you're really eating during your day.
A see-through toaster that is abso-freakin'-lutely brilliant. No more burnt toast or kitchen fires since I can see when the bread is perfectly oh-so-yummy-golden-brown.
