Vegetarian Hot Dog

I tried the new Ikea vegetarian hot dog. It is delicious and a steal at .75c.
'The vegetarian sausage – made with kale, red lentils, carrots, ginger, quinoa, onion, potatoes and spices – is served on a bun with mustard, red cabbage and roasted onion.' I have yet to try their chick pea based meatball, maybe that will be next.

Creative Tuesdays - Christmas Gingerbread House

I got this inexpensive gingerbread house kit from Ikea and asked daughter L to make it up for me. You have to make your own icing to decorate and then glue the gingerbread house pieces together. L found this wonderful gingerbread house icing recipe which uses only 3 ingredients, cream of tartar, icing sugar and egg whites. And of course, being Ikea this kit came with minimal assembly instructions in picture format!

Here is the result of L's efforts and our contribution to the Creative Tuesdays 'Christmas Gingerbread' theme:

Help Us Improve

I found this neat quiz from my local drugstore which will calculate your heart age, I urge you to try it.  It's available until March 30, 2013.

I was at IKEA recently and noticed they now have these work stations set up throughout the store to solicit customer feedback. It's an interesting idea, maybe a good one.
