I'm looking for a good eye cream to wear at night and during the day when I know I won't be going outside for a while and don't want to deal with the SPF stuff yet. So far the ones I have tried have not been soaking in and eventually get up into my eyes. Not stingy - but it's like having vasoline in your eyes. Any recommendations?

There was a discussion about knitting and riding in cars on last weekend's Car Talk (I can't find it on the site). The caller was concerned about impaling herself on a needle if the airbag were to deploy, and getting hurt in an otherwise non-fatal accident. I think the (not very comforting) consensus they came to was that we all have to die sometime.

There is now a PDF format Knitty flyer if you care to participate in a little "kamakaze marketing" on Knitty's behalf!

Peppermint Tina put up a picture of a tofu strainer and a recipe for Quickie Tasty Tofu Dish, as well as tip for requesting soy sauce in Hawii.

Diet Vanilla Coke - yes? no? I want to try it but the place I shop at only sells it in a 12-pack and I'm just not willing to commit.

Martha Inc is on tonight, while I'm not really looking forward to someone having a bad light shed on their life, I am curious.

Last night was Breakfast Dinner around here, we made cloud pancakes and they were yummy, reminded me of french toast. What do you guys do about warm foods creating condensation on plates? Besides getting a huge kitchen with those warming drawers. I don't like soggy toast and so I wrap it in a napkin (I read somewhere that this is actually called a toast diaper). A while back I saw a toast rack at Ikea and I thought it was just another thing to clutter a kitchen, but now I kinda want one.
