The Streisand Effect
Did you know about the "Streisand Effect"?
The term refers to the 2003 attempt by Barbara Streisand to keep photos of her home from being posted online. It is now used to describe the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide or remove a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely.

Marcato Atlas 150 Classic
I like this video and would really like to have one of these pasta rollers.
Not crazy about the bass line in the jazzy tune, though.

Tomato Soup Typo
I've got a lot of these saved up but had forgotten about them; I was thinking that they'd make a great "Recipe Typos" label/category.
This one is from today (which is why I remembered the others I have been taking screen shots of) from the LuckySamples website, one of their daily recipe offerings. (click pic f/ larger size)
At first, I thought "What are 'candiced' stewed tomatoes? Are they from some region in Italy called "Candice"?" I then wondered if it was a typo for "candied tomatoes"? Ugh.
Then it dawned on me there was a space missing between "can" and "diced". Duh. My thick-headed thinking is funnier than the actual typo.
Not to me, but probably is to you.
