Over time I've heard praise here and there for Scottish musician Paolo Nutini, but I never really paid attention. Now his newest album Sunny Side Up is topping UK album charts (with Black Eyed Peas topping the singles list), and I figure it's high time I sit down and take a real listen.
Young Nutini is only 22, but he has the voice of an old soul.

I'm not going to lie; I'm looking forward to Cinco de Mayo for one true reason. So I can eat as much as I want of the cool, creamy, and spicy gastronomic delight known as seven-layer dip. And I'm not alone: the writers at Evite love seven-layer dip so much that they created a dessert version of it, with peanut butter, Nutella, marshmallows, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, salted peanuts, and gummy bears, to serve with Ritz crackers and Nilla wafers.

To join me on my eggcellent adventure, keep reading.

It wouldn't be Spring without seasonal hallmarks such as pastel-colored jelly beans and Cadbury Creme Eggs — and, of course, Peeps. Fans of America's favorite marshmallow delight may want to pick up Peeps: Recipes and Crafts to Make With Your Favorite Marshmallow Treat.
DIY projects range from cute and edible (s'more Peeps, Peeps meringue tartlets) to far-fetched (Peeps checkers, Peeps Christmas wreath).

Is dark chocolate's heyday over? For the candy industry, the numbers have been bittersweet: dark chocolate has experienced a huge surge in sales over the last couple of years, but research indicates that its popularity may have already peaked.

For the raver who celebrates Easter! Sure, Katie Sugar looked longingly at this candy when I walked by, but this toy (for ages five and up) isn't designed for paci-aged kids.
Perhaps this light-up lollipop/pacifier has the best intentions, but I can't shake my mental image of some clubber kid whiling away his Sunday ecstasy roll by sucking on the Easter bunny's head.
