It’s fun to look at things. Super Happy Terrific Products is a collection of some of my favorite things.
What do the Japanese love more than robots? Pancakes! So it was just a matter of time until someone combined the two and created a robot that makes pancakes. Toyo Riki Co. has invented a robot that makes okonomiyaki (flour cakes) from scratch and looks cool doing it. Thanks Amalita for sending this little gem in.
Who doesn’t like free stuff? Nobody, that’s who. Free stuff rules!
Today (February 24, 2009) is National Pancake Day and IHOP is celebrating by giving away free pancakes! You can get a free short stack (three buttermilk pancakes) for free from 7am to 10pm. The only thing IHOP asks is that you make a donation to the Children’s Miracle Network or another local charity.
But wait, there’s more! After your free breakfast at IHOP, head over to Quiznos for a free lunch.
You can get a free sub today from Quiznos by signing up for an emailed coupon on Quiznos’ MillionSubs.com page. There’s no mention on the site as to when this offer ends but, it’s called the Million Subs Giveaway and so far they have given away 202007 subs so you do the math (because I suck at math).
Do a little dance, eat a free sub, get down tonight.
Did you know that you can order Dominos through your TiVo? Its true! Dominos and TiVo have taken all the messy phone call and email headaches out of the pizza ordering process and passed the time-savings on to you.
Just go to the TiVo menu, where you can access the full Dominos menu and place your order. You can even keep tabs on your pizza’s journey (at least until it enters your mouth) with the Pizza Tracker screen. Hopefully you left the front door unlocked so that when the delivery person shows up you won’t have to get up from the couch.
Has anyone tried this yet? I’d love to check it out but we don’t have a Dominos up here in the mountains.
Over the weekend I learned that the “restaurant” Bennigan’s was going out of business. I was shocked to hear this because I thought Bennigan’s went out of business in the late 1990′s.
With Bennigan’s closing, where will people go for yummy deep fried appetizers, lack luster salads, and that special ambiance that can only come from walls covered in street signs and trombones? Thank god for T.G.I.Fridays, Applebees, Pizzaria Uno, Houlihans, Olive Garden, Chili’s, Outback Steakhouse, Fuddruckers, Ruby Tuesday, Cheesecake Factory, and Hooters!
You might recall that back in March I was visited by a traveling meat salesman who talked me into buying meat. Don’t worry if you don’t recall, you can read the original post here. It’s a short post so I don’t mind waiting while you check it out.
Done? Great! Now that we are all on the same page, I’m happy to report that after sitting in my freezer for nearly three months, we finally ate some of that meat and it was delicious! We threw a few on the outdoor grill for dinner last night and it was, hands down, one of the best carnivorous gastro experiences of my life.
The meat man told me he will be back in September and this time, I’ll be waiting with open arms rather than the skeptical eye I greeted him with in March.
