lemurs?

We're Thankful for These Finds!
Stuff You Didn't Know You Needed: Thanksgiving Order-Ahead Edition!

Yes, yes, Halloween hasn't even passed yet, BUT if you're gonna order items
in preparation for Thanksgiving, you'll wanna jump on it ASAP. These are a
few finds we've got our eyes on...

Fall Icon Cakelet Pan - How cute is this baking pan?? Use it to make adorable
li'l cakes shaped like acorns, pumpkins, walnuts, and pinecones. Heads up:
Our pumpkin + spice cake mix combo would be GREAT with this. Super-
simple, super-cute treats in a snap!

Trudeau Gravy/Fat Separator - Fat-skimming items are SUPER useful for
people who like to make gravy from turkey drippings but want to avoid all
that grease. This model is affordable and has great customer reviews online.
Get one, and keep those fatty calories out of your delicious gravy!

Collapsible Pie Carrier - If you're bringing a tasty guilt-free pie (like this one)
to a dinner at someone else's house, you'll want to make sure that sucker
gets there safely! This container expands to fit an extra-tall pie (or two short
ones) and will keep your sweets secure until it's time for dessert. Yay!




The Buzz...

Sometimes we look at our pale-green stalks of celery and wish they were a
little flashier and more vibrant. But wait! One of the world's largest celery
growers just unveiled an exciting new item: red celery! That should make for
some interesting ants-on-a-log. (The log is on fire!) ***More good news for
celery chewers! A substance called luteolin -- found in celery, carrots,
peppers, and some herbs -- could reduce memory deficits as we age.
Luteolin's anti-inflammatory properties appear to get the credit for this... Just
another reason to eat those veggies! ***McDonald's has a new product on a
test run: Chicken Flatbreads, in four varieties, with under 300 calories each.
The big question? HOW LARGE ARE THEY?! If they're sandwich-replacement
size, that's pretty cool; if they're more like snack wraps, we might wanna
pass. (If you've tried 'em, let us know what you think!) ***We've all had our
overall dining experience ruined by noisy surroundings at one time or
another. Well, that noise could affect how your food tastes. According to a
new study, sweetness and saltiness both seemed less intense in a loud
environment, but the food's perceived crunchiness was enhanced in the
same situation. WOW! ***And we have new evidence that skipping breakfast
is a bad idea... and no, it's not from your mother. A study from the
University of Tasmania suggests that people who miss those morning meals
could be at higher risk for heart disease than A.M. chewers. So eat your
breakfast... And quit slouching, for goodness' sake! That's all we've got. HG
out!
