Man, it’s been a busy few days… actually, couple of weeks, with all the year-end activities at school and such.

From Slice Leftover pizza required, awesome plate optional. [ Photographs: Robyn Lee ] Believe it or not, we end up with a fair amount of leftover pizza at the Slice offices in SE World Headquarters. While I enjoy the occasional cold slice, I usually prefer to warm up my pizza, as do most people . But how to do this? Pizzerias reheat slices all the time, but their ovens are kept at scorching temperatures all day long. Reheating pizza in the oven or in a toaster oven on the bake setting takes more time than I’m willing to wait for a quick slice , especially since you need to use moderate heat to avoid burning the outside of a slice before the inside warms through. By contrast, toasting, though fast, often fails to heat a slice all the way through, especially if it has a thick crust. I’m not even going to talk about the soggy mess that is microwaved leftover pizza. So what’s my time-tested method? Find out, after the jump. The weapons of choice: a microwave and a toaster oven. After years of extensive research, I’ve hit on a solution: microwaving and then toasting. Please, restrain …

“Despite a pleasant cherry-berry scent, the wine honestly didn’t taste like much.” [ Photograph: SexyFresh ] They might as well rename it “Hello, Creepy,” because that’s exactly how you’ll feel purchasing Hello Kitty wine, from the moment you ask the sales clerk where to find it, right through to the cash register ring-up, where they will encircle the neck of your bottle with a pendant suitable for a six-year-old. Nothing makes you feel like a pedophile faster than buying a bottle of Hello Kitty Wine. But seriously, how’s the wine itself? I had hoped to review one of the still wines from the all-Italian lineup of Hello Kitty wines—both red and white Pinot Nero wines (“Devil” and “Angel”) were on my list, but aren’t yet available in the New York area. However, the Brut Rose version was on the shelf, also made of 100% Pinot Nero grapes. Bonus: it didn’t even sport a cutesy name. So I ponied up $25 plus tax and took it home. Hello, Creepy wine pendant. [Photograph: Kara Newman] I enjoyed the satisfying “pop” of the cork. In the glass, the color was an intense, rosy pink. It’s very pretty, even the foam …

[ Flickr: Shelli Akers ] Ronald Howes [Cincinnati Enquirer] Ronald Howes, a lifelong inventor responsible for creating the Easy-Bake Oven (as well as defense weaponry), died last Tuesday, reported the Cincinnati Enquirer. He created the iconic toy while he was director of research and new product development for Cincinnati-based Kenner Products in the early 1960s. Apparently he was inspired to fashion the tiny oven after visiting New York and seeing all the roast chestnut carts. Since then, about 20 million have been sold. Thanks to Howes, many small hands have baked brownies and cakes by way of a lightbulb. And many stuffed animal tea parties have benefited greatly because of it. Do you have fond Easy-Bake Oven memories? Do you remember what your teeny creations tasted like?

I’ve received a number of emails and blog comments from women asking about the consumption of chocolate while trying to conceive and/or while pregnant. It’s a great question. I know that during previous blog posts I was avoiding chocolate when trying to conceive, and at the time I imagined that I’d also be avoiding it during pregnancy. That said, it’s important to constantly reassess values, ideas, and plans on an ongoing basis to see if things change when new information becomes available (or when hormones take over, LOL… just kidding. Mostly.). But in all seriousness, as you’ll read below, yes, it’s true: I have enjoyed some Raw chocolate while pregnant. So. What changed? Read on… As many of you know, I’m not a midwife or doctor, so the information I’m sharing is about what I am doing and is in no way prescriptive for you. Chocolate While Trying to Conceive When I was TTC (trying to conceive) I eliminated virtually all caffeine including chocolate, coffee, and tea. I might have had one or two bites of Raw chocolate over a span of a couple of months at a time, but you get the picture. Chocolate has a limited amount of caffeine and so I was avoiding it. It…

I sorta promised myself I wasn’t gonna do this. But then curiosity took hold and I decided I’d do the research and keep the results to myself. But then the results seemed sort of facinating and I wondered why they were this way. So here you go the Top Ten most viewed pages from SippitySup in 2009. In the number one position is How to Remodel a Kitchen in 905 Days . My kitchen is great, I know it is. But really? The TOP post? I almost didn’t even make that post. Furthermore, only one of my personal favorites of 2009 even made the Top Ten, Remembering Beets so Red It’s Fusilli . Which got me thinking about what’s popular versus what’s “good” in my opinion. I have never been very good at choosing “the best” in any category. Inevitably my favorite movie of any given year gets very little box office… I can’t explain it. Perhaps I am just dumb… But guaging what people like is an important talent in the world of food isn’t it? I mean if I were to consistently put foods and recipes up here at SippitySup that had very little interest to most people, I’d soon drown in

It’s amazing what you find in dentist’s waiting rooms. Don’t ask me why, but glancing through an old dog eared British Medical Journal I came across a barmy piece of research carried out by a group of scientists in a secret experiment. Whilst I’m sure they considered it to be a most worthy social experiment if they had bothered to ask me I could have saved them a lot of time and effort because I have been observing the exact same phenomenon over many years now and I can concur wholeheartedly with their findings. Furthermore there’s no doubt in my mind that you also have independently come to the same conclusion- teaspoons have a bloody mind of their own and never stay put. In a study at their own facility, a group of scientists from the Macfarlane Burnet Institute for Medical Research and Public Health in Melbourne secretly numbered 70 teaspoons and tracked their movements over five months. Supporting their expectations, 80 percent of the spoons vanished during the period — although those in private areas of the institute lasted nearly twice as long as those in communal…

(Ok, so it’s not really the “final” countdown, but I have that song stuck in my head so I’m going with it.) Several of you have asked for updates on the charities we’re highlighting each day, and since we’re at the halfway point, I figured now was a good time. (Oh, and if you haven’t check in in a while – well first, shame on you: you call yourself an evil wrecky henchperson? Really? – but second, go here to find out what all this charity stuff is about.) All totals are as of late Friday evening, and each link goes to the corresponding donation page. Charity:Water – $11,405 raised online so far. That’s a little over halfway to our initial goal of $20K! Every $5K builds a well that serves 250 people in need of clean drinking water, so as of now more than 500 people will be helped thanks to your dollars. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital – Sorry, we didn’t set up a page to track these donations. But you know you gave, right? So that’s all that matters. Heifer International – $5,166 raised online so far. Again, that’s over halfway to our $10K goal!…

I’ve been asked many times about what I did to detox and get my body, mind, and spirit healthy for pregnancy. I’m happy to share my plan. It’s lengthy though, so get yourself a nice green smoothie or green juice, sit back and relax as you read through it all. Please keep in mind this necessary disclaimer… I’m not a midwife or a physician, and anyone thinking about getting pregnant should consult one of the aforementioned professionals to discuss your options. We are all different and we all have different toxic loads, experiences, ages, fitness levels, environments, etc. I will mention that a midwife is more likely to understand detoxing and using foods, supplements, etc for helping with pregnancy preparation over a medical doctor. So, with that out of the way… here is what I did. The Timing I started the process during the early part of summer (2008). My husband and I had the intention of cleaning our bodies and home for about 6 months before actively trying to conceive. I became a little antsy so we started trying a little sooner, to no avail, but in hindsight, I’m glad our baby waited a little longer so that my body had plenty of time to clean out (6-12 months is recommended). It was important…
