The good people at Terressentia have come up with a way of using science to make booze taste better by removing impurities left over from the distillation process.

I must say that, in my opinion, Loblaws really tops all the other grocery stores in Toronto for the quality of products offered and their variety. Although it may be pricier than others, freshness is always guatanteed and the customer service is definitely admirable.

Thanks to a new diet fad, butter has been flying off the shelves in Norway. According to Reuters, butter sales jumped 20% in October and 30% in November. Further, butter production has been slashed dramatically due to a wet summer which saw a decline in animal feed quality and thus a shot fall off 25 million liters of milk.

This is a great video I found while wandering around youtube. It has some sassy language so I wouldn’t blare it at work. Mac Lethal, spits some mad rhymes while flipping flapjacks. Tight lyrics and perfect pancakes; a win both ways. Enjoy.
