2005 Food Blog Awards and wearable food
I don’t have any food to rave about this post, but I do have three cool things to write about.
The first is that Chubby Hubby is a finalist in 2 categories, Best New Blog and Best Food Photography, in the 2005 Food Blog Awards. There are so many great blogs nominated in these categories, I don’t really know what my chances are. But, if you have time, please click on over to the 2005 Food Blog Awards and cast your vote. There are also a bunch of other great categories and more fantastic blogs nominated in these.
The second item comes via Robyn, aka the girl who ate everything (who in turn got this little gem from NOTCOT. Check it out below (Click on the photo to be taken to the Pagliei Online’s store).

I think these are both hilarious and cute. I’m totally tempted to get one for each for my two golden retrievers; maybe a wonton for Alix, the younger one, and a potsticker for Sascha, whom S has recently taken to calling “fatty”. They’re the perfect gift for a young, fun (female) food-lover. Pagliei also sells these on a charm bracelet. How wonderfully kitsch!

Lastly, and also via those wonderful folks at NOTCOT, check out the The Food Loop, a heat resistant, silicone food trussing tool whose manufacturers claim will make kitchen twine obsolete. I don’t know about you, but I certainly want to get my hands on these and try them out. If, for no other reason, than to take photographs of my food tied up in them.

you are rite chubbyhubby! the pendants are hilarious and totally cool. A foodie must-have if you ask me. 🙂
oh btw, i added a link to your blog on mine. I hope you don’t mind.

i don’t know about the loops… what if.. they are’nt so heat resistant afterall…. would be disastrous ^^;
On another note, i’m hoping that you could put up some lovely recipe for a risotto dish.. recently got fascinated by them, and i just made my first attempt at it! Tell me what you think of the pic.

I SOOO hope you win! I’ve voted already!
sidenote: I’ve got a case of those loops but I haven’t tried them out yet. Have you?
Hi Aun & S – as you know, I’ve been admiring your gorgeous photos since I found your site – well deserved, congratulations!
Ah, that last comment was by me. And the deleted one. Now I’m messing up your comment section. >__<
Thanks for the link! 🙂 I wish I liked jewelry more because then I wouldn’t mind wearing a shiny silver dumpling. It could be my talisman of stuffed…doughy…power!
I sure hope you win..! i voted for you twice.. once at home.. and once at the office.. hehehe!!
I voted for you too! :!
All the best!
congratulations! guess who i’m voting for for best new blog 😉 good luck – nobody deserves it more!
Shaz: So, which pendant would you order. Thanks for linking to me.
Frederico: Yah, it would be awful if the loops melted around the food, wouldn’t it? I’m impressed with your efforts. Making your own stock is awesome! I love risotto. I’ve always found the recipes in the River Cafe cookbooks to work really well. I’ll see if I can make something in the next few weeks.
Matt: Thanks so much. Nope, I don’t think they sell them here yet. I’m gonna try and order some soon.
Keiko: Thanks! Of course, congrats to you also for your nominations.
Robyn: No worries. And thanks for providing the info to begin with 🙂 It would be cool to create pendants from other foods or even other dumplings. I’d love a xiao long bao one.
Mama Bok: Thanks! That’s so sweet of you.
Green Apple: Thanks so much.
J: Thanks!
tht last pic looked a teenybit like three tapeworms wrapping themselves up around the fish O_o

Farah: hah hah… yah, they do look very sci-fi as well, no? Thanks for linking to me.

Freckles: Hi, thanks for reading. Suggest ordering it directly. Not sure if I’m going to get around to it. Not the highest priority on my shopping list… that would be a vacuum sealer. 🙂
I read about the food loops on Rachael’s website on The Fresh Approach and she says they are heat resistant AND recyclable! They sound amazing and the only downside seems to be that they are a little bulky which makes even browning a problem. Am tempted to get them too.
I think the food loops are great! I have used them several times.
Have you seen the hilarious food loop commericals online? Check them out here:
