SNACK TIME: Cannibal pumpkin cats, healthy White House eats, cheese pudding for breakfast, roadkill for dinner, teeny-tiny kitchens, and This Is Not a Cheesesteak

- Happy Halloween! Here’s a cat eating a pumpkin while dressed like a pumpkin!

- Living in the White House isn't the only reasonn the Obamas eat well — Michelle has positioned herself as America's most influential healthy-eating advocate. The First Lady threw a party the other day and gave each guest a little cookbook filled with healthy, low-fat recipes. It’s now available to the public so you can eat like an Obama, too.

- Cheddar breakfast pudding. Is anyone else ready to worship Madame Fromage?

- There's adventurous dining and then there's this: a British taxidermist has been living off roadkill for the past 30 years. What happens when he has a dinner party? "Here is a fricassee of freshly smushed otter, please enjoy."

- I always admire people living in tiny apartments who can make exquisite gourmet meals with next to no space. In this article, chef Shaun Hill explains how a small kitchen is not the end of the world. It just takes a little creativity and the knowledge of which kitchen tools are imperative. (That super-deluxe yogurt maker you’ve been coveting? Not necessary.)

- A new local Tumblr, This Is Not A Cheesesteak, explains what constitutes a real cheesesteak — and what doesn't. Arby's new Philly sandwich does not make the cut, obviously.
