How the World's Biggest Corporations, From Starbucks to Wal-Mart to Barnes & Noble, Claim to Be 'Local'
HSBC, one of the biggest banks on the planet, has taken to calling itself "the world's local bank." Starbucks is un-branding at least three of its Seattle outlets, the first of which just reopened as "15th Avenue Coffee and Tea." Winn-Dixie, a 500-outlet supermarket chain, recently launched a new ad campaign under the tagline, "Local flavor since 1956."Kris and Oregano - so cute!

12 Days of Cookies - Day 2 - Moravian Spice Cookie Wafers
Moravian Spice Cookie Waffers
From Food Network Kitchens
This cookie comes to us from North Carolina by way of Central Europe; it's a classic, peppery spice cookie brought to the U.S. by Moravians in the 1700s. The key to this cookie is rolling it super-thin to get that characteristic snap; it's a lot easier to roll it that thin between waxed paper.
"Scotch" Shortbread Cookies
"SCOTCH" SHORTBREAD COOKIES I don't know about you, but I have done way too much eating this holiday...especially when I'm supposed to be in race training! Ugh! I do know, though, that I have a horrible sweet tooth, and I just am not willing to give up some of my goodies...unless my arm is twisted!Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Hearts
This weekend I made the chocolate dipped shortbread heart recipe that I featured on YumSugar last week. My friend Jon was over so he was working as my sous-chef/photographer while I was making these cookies. They came out really good (I dipped some in white chocolate which the recipe doesn't call for) and while I was making them my dad kept saying how he wasn't going to eat any and that he didn't like shortbread and blah blah blah.Little Dippers

Anne Hathaway douses herself in perfume to get into character
I’m kind of torn about actress Anne Hathaway, 25. She has been wearing daring, gorgeous outfits that make her look like a rare jewel. She has a very unique exotic look that’s borderline geeky and not cookie cutter at all.
