My initial reaction to this concept was repulsion, but really, spaghetti and wieners are a normal thing. I think it would be a fun and easy thing to make for kids or strange parties. Just cut the dogs into 1 inch chunks, break the spaghetti in half and pierce pieces through each dog chunk. Then cook in boiling water according to the spaghetti directions. You could serve it with chili. Maybe even Cincinnati chili!

I cannot stop staring at this Enzo Speedster from PlayForever. This is like one of those toys that you would display and later it would become valuable.

I just finished pillaging Apartment Therapy. Check out these great finds.
Philippe Starck kitchens for Warendorf. I love the bookshelves that surround the cabinets.
Great lamp from the Supon house tour. I actually still have hundreds of the edge banding strips that I need to do something with.
And end it all with the trailer for "The Fantastic Mr. Fox". I had forgotten how giddy I was when I saw this trailer last month. Read more...

The Future of Food
We decided when we moved into this house (that is way out in the country) that we would not spend the nearly $350.00 each month for internet and cable tv. Instead we are working our Sprint card to the max by running 4 computers and a VOIP system off of it. We watch a lot of HULU to get us by. I have to say- I am quite liking it! We get to discover a new series and watch the entire season commercial free in one night.
Last night we stumbled upon "The Future of Food". A 2003 documentary about Monsanto's genetically engineered seeds.
"This stylish film is not just for food faddists and nutritionists. It is a look at something we might not want to see:
Monsanto, Roundup and Roundup-resistant seeds,
collectively wreaking havoc on American farmers and our agricultural neighbors around the world.
In the end, this documentary is a eloquent call to action."
Pretty interesting and scary stuff! It has fueled my desire to embrace the local farmers in my new found homeland. I have been sorting through Local Harvest all day.
We found our way to Bellingham WA. today and I have to say that I am in love! It has both big town and small town feel. It has a great art scene and a vibrant heartbeat. I know I will be spending a lot more time there.
Deception Pass-
This is the bridge that you have to cross to get to our home. It is super high and when the tide below it is coming in or out it looks like a toilet is being flushed.

Just snooping through the free section on Craigslist and I cannot believe how nice some of the stuff is in Vancouver!
Our beaches here are completely littered with driftwood. Plenty to go around! I am thinking about creating a few pieces with it. Something modern but also nature related. I have always loved the pieces at Bleu Nature.
I am currently investigating how to treat the wood to rid it of fungus and bugs. I found this extensive page on just how to do it here.
