It’s safe to say coconut oil is my new favorite baking product. It won’t replace the flavor of butter, but I love how coconut oil makes pie crusts flakey, gives cookies crispy edges, and adds a dense, soft, moist quality to quick breads. And wouldn’t it be nice if its purported health benefits …

Last week The Foof Queens asked if I’d like to try a product they invented to help people wrap and style packages — a gadget that dispenses slide and tie sleeves of “GiftGloss”. “Foof” is what you add to gifts to make them eye-catching, and of course it’s how Betty and her friends got their [...]

Nobody had guessed who it was, but in an SUV heading down Broadway in the snow, non disclosures were passed out and we were told that Kim Cattrall is the new spokesperson for I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.
