My last meal would definitely involve bacon in some form.

Dear Meredith:

Ten well-known chefs (including Mario Batali, Emeril Lagasse, and Nancy Silverton) were asked eight questions about food, including what their last meals would be and what their favorite kitchen gadgets are. One of my favorite answers has to be from Mario Batali. When asked what his last meal would be, he responded, "It would be a very long one: 753 courses consumed over 15 years, each with a different wine." That is certainly one way to extend life!

Stay away from my chimney

Dear Jennifer,

I'm sure we've discussed the hilarious existence of "Hunky Santa" at the Beverly Center. But there is something far more important to dish about. And that is this awesome website that collects the scariest Santas on celluloid and junk drive. Check it out.

Crazy wine guy

Dear Jennifer,

I refuse to buy any wine without seeing this man defile it online first. This wine critic is either drunk when doing his reviews, or has absolutely no sense of shame. Wine never sounded better than when this man tells you the nose of one of the glasses "kicks you in the face." It is entertaining to watch him try to come up with 'quirks' for his online vid persona. My favorite is when he throws a bunch of corks at the camera and exclaims "Sometimes I love to throw corks!"

I love receiving mail.

Dear Meredith:

This is an awesome idea, if just a wee bit creepy. (While I do love receiving mail, i don't like receiving mail from people I don't know.) Lenka Clayton and Michael Crowe took it upon themselves to send a handwritten letter to everyone first in a village in Ireland, than in a neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA. If you follow the link, you can see all the mail they sent.

Mysterious letters

These pets are not LOL-ing.

Dear Jennifer,

We love to laugh at the adorable pictures of animals on the web, but what if the animals are not laughing along with us? This website shows the inner turmoil of pets who have been forced into cute photos. Is it sick that it's even funnier when the pets are clearly unhappy?
