If you are dieting, do not read this

I have never quite worked out what Posterous is for, but Daniel Young, the guy who runs youngandfoodish.com (great name, no?) clearly has. I'm glad, because otherwise  I would never have known about this:

That, cholesterol fans, is a plate of Cadbury Creme Eggs Benedict.  I am deadly serious. Those things which look like hash browns are FRIED CAKE.   If you are feeling brave (or are just insane) here are the full instructions, courtesy of cakespy.

(One person says in the comments:  I can't decide whether to throw up or make this for lunch.  Good point well made, I think.)

I am reminded of a poster I saw in New York:

This was at Eleni's cupcake shop, at Chelsea Market, which is brilliant and well worth a visit if you are in the Big Apple.  Americans, as you may already know, take their cupcakes very, very seriously.

Pimp That Snack (fans of intellectual property law might be interested to know it used to be called something else) is the kind of website you shouldn't start to explore unless you have some time on your hands.  My friend Suse told me about it: she also pointed me towards whatnottocrochet.com, which could also chew up lot of your time, if you are anything like me.  Here is a taster:

I mean, who *wouldn't* want a zebra head made of wool?
