Somewhere on the border between “too cool” and “way too creepy” lies this Bios Urn (via Presurfer). I’ll admit to the creepiness but still find it a pretty nice idea. And wouldn’t it be awesome to live on as a maple tree, maybe the most awesome of trees…?   What say you?

I have been craving this carrot+feta salad for what seems like forever. I often wake up in the morning thinking about it. Maybe because I can’t have dairy…or because it’s so awesome that I can still taste it from last time I made it (which was back in 2010, in my other, ‘pre-baby’ life)…
