Mother Gives Birth To Black & White Twins

10/31/10 -- Odd Articles

“A mother has no problem telling her newborn twins apart – because  one was born black and the other white. Shirley Wales, 21, who gave birth by caesarean section, was astonished when the midwife handed her her children. For while son Leo resembled his Grenadian mother, with dark skin, brown eyes and thick hair, her daughter Hope was the image of her father, with light skin, blue eyes and fair sparse hair. Leo was born first weighing 5lb 14oz closely followed by his sister Hope at 6lb  3oz at Dewsbury District Hospital, West Yorkshire. Shirley said: ‘I knew I was having twins, and I knew one was a boy and one was a girl, but I couldn’t believe it when the midwife told me they had different skin tones after I’d given birth to them.” w/ photos

Lil’ Robot Costume

10/31/10 -- Hilarious

“Like many parents, we make hand-made costumes for our kids instead of buying cheaply-made (and expensive) costumes based on licensed characters. This year, my youngest son wanted to be a robot. My wife did a great job making the costume, but I just had to add some cool electronics to take it to the next level.”

Cheeseburger Cocktail

10/31/10 -- Deliciousness

“Cocktails for carnivores? A cheeseburger in a glass is just one of the protein-rich drinks concocted by mixologists with an eye toward meaty ingredients… He makes his drink with a beef stock reduction layered with muddled Roma tomatoes and fresh iceberg lettuce water. It’s garnished with an aged cheddar frico (a type of cheese crisp) and kosher dill pickle,  and it is “one of the more creative attempts that addresses the growing demand of those looking to satisfy their umami, or savory, taste receptors,” Burnett notes. It’s a little bit laborious for a bar to undertake, since it would take 20 minutes to make. If you do it at home, “You can pair it with something else meat based,” Burnett says. “It’s one of those cocktails you would indulge in if you were eating steak and fries.” w/ photo

How To Make Inside Out Apple Pies

10/30/10 -- How To's

“This was my first time ever making any pie from scratch. As a non-exact imprecise sort of cook, you would naturally assume the odds would be stacked against me. Thankfully, the pie turned out great, mostly due to some interesting techniques and also flexibility in the recipe. This recipe is a twist on the traditional apple pie because it’s sort of an inverted apple pie. For starters, there’s apple on the outside and crust on the inside. There’s ALSO more apples and cinnamon on the inside too, so it’s more than just inverted. It’s really really confused… Here’s how to make an inside out apple pie.” w/ photos
