Five-a-Day Poster Series.

The Five-a-Day poster series by UK-based Man vs Machine is so graphically intelligent. I love the way they took the idea of getting your five fruits and veggies a day and morphed it into a series of deconstructed works of art. So much so that if you weren’t aware of the basis of project, you may not even be aware of what you were looking at.

Meyer Lemon Curd.

I have a slight obsession with curd. Even though it’s a repulsive word in and of itself, the stuff is delectable beyond words. I’ve never made an attempt at making it myself, but I’m thinking that day isn’t too far around the corner. I could seriously just eat it up with a spoon – it’s just that good! I’ve seen quite a few recipes floating around the web-o-sphere lately, but it wasn’t until I saw this one using Meyer lemons that I was really sold. Not only is it extremely simple, but it looks like the chef was about to eat a bowlful, which isn’t far from what I intend to do!

The Cost Vineyard.

Nestled comfortably in the Eola Hills, just west of Salem, Oregon, you will find The Cost Vineyard. A low-yield producer of premium quality, fully estate grown Pinot Noir.

While I don’t doubt the quality and taste of their wine, what I’m in love with are their bottles. Wine labels in general fascinate me, but when one goes against the norm – as in anything – it really grabs my attention. Cost Vineyard accomplishes this by using “newspaper clippings” that strategically place their name on the bottle in small type that you might otherwise miss. Point proven: bigger and bolder isn’t always better.
