Jan 23rd, 2012 at 1:00PM: Some decisions are easy because you simply don't have a choice. The decision is made for you when there's only one option. Others force you to pick between two worthy candidates (think ice cream or cookies for dessert). Things get tricky when you encounter more than two viable options. How do you choose from a cornucopia of wonder? Here at SkyMall Monday, we typically engage in heated battles of ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

SkyMall Monday: Food Pillows
Jan 23rd, 2012 at 1:00PM: Some decisions are easy because you simply don't have a choice. The decision is made for you when there's only one option. Others force you to pick between two worthy candidates (think ice cream or cookies for dessert). Things get tricky when you encounter more than two viable options. How do you choose from a cornucopia of wonder? Here at SkyMall Monday, we typically engage in heated battles of ...Five Halloween treats for grown-ups
Oct 29th, 2011 at 11:00AM: Like many former kids, I used to live for Halloween. Sure, the dressing up part was fun, but so was TP'ing the neighbor's tree. What All Hallow's Eve was really about were Pixy Stix, Fun Dip, mini Milky Way bars, and REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups (in my world, the latter still reigns supreme).
Still, things change. We grow up; most of us lose our appetite for eating the equivalent of eight cups of ...Summer travel: best U.S. cities for localized food lovers
Jul 14th, 2011 at 3:00PM: What's that you say? Summer's half over? Those of us living here in the Pacific Northwest had no idea, given the lack of sun in these parts. But even if you're getting slapped by the mother of all heat waves, it's still early in the season for the best produce summer has to offer. As for where to get great food featuring locally-sourced ingredients? Allow me.
Some cities are inextricably linked ...Best ice cream in America not just from a shop
May 30th, 2011 at 4:30PM: Since Memorial Day is past, I think it's safe to say we've officially entered ice cream season (National Ice Cream Day is July 17) Unless you live in Seattle, in which case, it's still winter, but never mind. We still have great ice cream.
What makes for acclaim-worthy ice cream? Food writers like me tend to look for an emphasis on local/seasonal ingredients, including dairy. I love high ...Lost and Liberated in the Dordogne
May 27th, 2011 at 9:00AM: "I'm lost. I'm late. I'm sorry," I blurted into the phone, in French.
Silence.
"So, Monsieur Manouvrier, if it's OK I would still like to meet you today."
"You are an hour late. Do you think I have nothing better to do? You Americans think you are so important?" he bellowed, barely breathing between salvos. "Do you think we are so honored to speak to an American that we will stop ...Winter weather still causing travel delays in Germany
Jan 7th, 2011 at 9:15AM: Two weeks ago we reported how winter weather had caused travel delays in Europe. One of the worst-hit areas was Germany, with thick ice on the roads, canceled flights, an an overworked rail system.
Now it appears Germany's bad winter isn't over. Cold temperatures and thick ice on the roads has prompted Berlin's fire brigade to declare a weather state of emergency. Yesterday about 180 people ...SkyMall Monday: Ice Cream Ball
Dec 13th, 2010 at 1:00PM: There are plenty of things that should be included on any packing list. Items such as underwear, toothbrushes and your passport should not be left at home. However, certain sundries are oft-overlooked but are just as important as those commonly accepted essentials listed above. How many times have you been on the road only to be frighteningly without ice cream? Lack of ice cream kills thousands of ...SkyMall Monday: Top ten things to stuff in the Turkey Cake Pan
Nov 22nd, 2010 at 1:00PM: It's Thanksgiving time once again in the good ol' US of A. That wonderful time of year when we slow down, take a break and acknowledge the people and things for which we are most thankful. Most people focus on the thanks. I like to focus on the ful(l). Here at SkyMall Monday headquarters, we love to stuff our faces on Thanksgiving. From stuffing to green bean casserole to, of course, turkey, ...Getting Around Greenland
Sep 13th, 2010 at 4:00PM: When it comes to travel, Greenland has its own rules-which are nature's rules really. In fact, nature rules so completely that the weather report determines your itinerary, as do the tricky logistics of Greenland's giant glacial geography.
For starters, Greenland is the least densely populated country in the world: for every human being who lives on the coastal fringe, there are 15 square miles ...
Hidden Treasures: Bo's Ice Cream, Tampa, Florida
_thumbnail.jpg)
Aug 14th, 2010 at 3:00PM: When people typically think of Tampa, they think of the beach, nightlife and attractions. However when I think of my hometown, only one thing comes to mind - ice cream.
Bo's Ice Cream, located at 7101 N. Florida Avenue, has been serving up tasty ice cream creations in the same location for more than 50 years. Bo's has survived so long is because they only use the best quality ingredients when ...Hidden Treasures: Ted Drewes Concrete Ice Cream in St. Louis
Aug 9th, 2010 at 3:00PM: If you live in St. Louis, you know all about Ted Drewes. However, if you are just passing through, it's worth a trip out of your way to stop and enjoy a Custard Concrete. Once you pay your first visit, you will never forget it.
Not only a hometown favorite, Ted Drewes is also known in the celeb-circuit. Elvis Presley use to fly into St. Louis just to stop in and today has a special custard ...Viagra ice cream and other crazy flavors
Aug 10th, 2009 at 3:00PM: digg_url = 'http://digg.com/food_drink/Viagra_ice_cream_and_other_crazy_flavors'; Do you think you're exciting because you go off-menu at Cold Stone? That's nothing! To find the strangest flavors in the world, leave the United States and see what the world has to offer. At the top of the list is a fake Viagra ice cream in Venezuela (maybe the placebo effect will help you get lucky). Taiwan has a ...Gadlinks for Tuesday 7.28.09
Jul 28th, 2009 at 6:00PM: Welcome to this Tuesday's edition of Gadlinks. Ready for a rollercoaster ride worth of thrills and chills from around the travel world? Hang on tight, some of our favorite stories are coming this way:
Summer is all about hot days and delicious cold ice cream. Lucky for travelers, they serve up ice cream pretty much anywhere you might go, though they enjoy some rather odd flavors abroad. Ever ...Budget summer travel from New York: Burlington, Vermont
May 26th, 2009 at 11:00AM: Check out that gorgeous sunset vista. With that kind of view and a beautiful body of water nearby, you'd probably guess this was somewhere tropical. The Bahamas? Wrong, try again. San Diego, perhaps? Not that either. This sweet view can only be found in Burlington, Vermont: a little gem of a town nestled in the northern half of the state along the shores of mighty Lake Champlain. Let's be honest ...Ziploc Bag Ice Cream
Apr 20th, 2007 at 10:00AM: Here's a great, easy idea for the next time you go camping: make Ziploc Bag Ice Cream! The easiest recipe for camping ice cream comes from the clever guys at Get Outdoors:
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons salt (rock salt is best)
Mix the milk, vanilla and sugar in one ziploc sandwich bag. Place ice and salt in a ziploc freezer bag. Place the ...Photo of the Day (10/25/06)
Oct 25th, 2006 at 2:02PM: Question - As travel photographers are we just suckers for children or are they really that cute? Seriously! I know I've taken a good handful of pictures of the foreign youngsters in the past. With most of my shots I always found extremely big bright eyes looking into the lens accompanied by goofy childish grins and giggles frozen in time. Here it feels like quite the opposite. We've got two very ...Ice Cream Capital of the World
Oct 9th, 2006 at 11:24AM: One of the joys of a well constructed road trip is that it isn't as well constructed as you would have liked to it to have been, but it is here where fluke accidents occur. Some may call it a glitch in the matrix, but I say it is ice cream heaven on Earth. We didn't anticipate going there because we never knew of its existence, but along a long stretch of Iowa highway rests a small quiet kind ...Hidden Gems: Princeton, New Jersey, a photo essay
Mar 27th, 2006 at 6:01PM: Brad Hill, Princetonite, was my guide on a tour through his favorite Princeton, New Jersey haunts on a grey
Friday in March. But first, I gazed in awe at the ivy-covered Ivy-ness of the University. It's beautiful, of course, but
we were looking for gems, and hidden ones, at that. Brad's favorite spot (and mine, as well): Small World Coffee, 14 Witherspoon St., where the lattes are
poured fast ...
