SNACK TIME: Typewriter waffle irons, cook your way into D Rad’s heart, overused food words, Reading Terminal’s facelift, macaron and tea, and man-eating mushroom clothing
- Are you a fan of found objects turned awesome? Here’s a great one. Chris Dimino created this typewriter turned waffle iron for group exhibit at the School of Visual Arts. It’s not for sale and there aren’t directions to make it, but it sure is pretty.
- OMG it's a Harry Potter cookbook. Swoon. Recipe for Daniel Radcliffe to love me, please.
- I've read 'em, you've read 'em, we’ve all gotten sick of 'em — food writers overuse certain words. The number of times I’ve read "delicious"or "decadent" or (shudder) "flavorful" is obscene. I disagree with a few on this list (you gotta say something is vegan if it's vegan), but most are dead on. And infuriating, even out of context.
- Reading Terminal Market is getting a makeover. The basement is becoming storage, and the storage area around "Avenue D" is becoming space for five new retailers. It's going to be a big shuffle and the market plans to stay open through the renovations, which should be finished mid-February. The most exciting part? The bathrooms will be expanded. Women everywhere, rejoice.
- Alexis Siemons writes primarily about tea, but occasionally throws in a post about her adventures in macarons, further fueling my longtime obsession with them. Here's her short report on some pistachio and salted caramel macarons from Miel Patisserie (204 S. 17th St.). I suggest reading her posts in a quiet room with soft lighting and a good cup of something hot.
- On a slightly less calming note, here's a trained "mushroom suit" that will eat you when you die.

I'm sorry, but I could not even get through this list. This writer honestly wants to substitute "pooped" for "wilted" when referring to cook greens? I never want a word that is associated with fecal matter used in a food context. Also, it's lame. What's next? "Remove the kale from the pan once it is 'all tuckered out'"?— MLF
