What do a rake, a toy truck, a wooden spoon, and a bunch of ball bearings have in common? They have a supporting role in what's possibly the world's most complicated cocktail maker. This contraption was created by New Zealander Joseph Herscher, who is known for his other Rube Goldberg-style machine, the chocolate egg creamer.

This summer popsicles are all the rage. While YumSugar's been experimenting with them for weeks now, I have yet to join her on this icy adventure. The reason I haven't made popsicles is because I don't own any popsicle molds. However, I'm dying to whip up some fabulous frozen treats, so you helped me by finding some popsicle molds!

It's mid-July, and we're eager to be outside. Thank goodness there's no shortage of open-air festivals this week.
The coming weekend boasts the National Hamburger Festival in Ohio, where bobbing for burgers and competitive eating will abound. Other parts of the country are paying homage to a gamut of thirst-quenching refreshments, from watermelon to mixed drinks.
