You’re on an epic quest or maybe just a journey to the closest big city. You’ve fought orcs or direwolves, and you’re bone weary. You’ve slogged through rain and mud or dragged yourself through unbearably hot weather. You round a corner on a well trodden King’s Road, and finally—you see the dim glow of village lights. They are far away, hard to see – as if the lights are covered by wax paper, but they are there. You can’t wait to find the local inn. You might know it, you might not. Either way, you have an idea of what the fare will be: crusty bread, cheese, a meat stew or skewer, and a mug of mulled cider, wine, or ale. Coffee and tea might be options too along with some fruit for dessert.

Did you ever think, “Hey, I would love for my kitchen to have a Star Wars theme!” I have. Of course, I was just thinking about decor. I could put up a shelf for some of my toys and maybe make some Yoda themed contact paper for the cupboards. But I can go a step beyond that now. I can actually stock my kitchen with Star Wars gadgets and serving things and baking accessories. I think I can say that there has never been such a wide range of Force sensitive cooking gear available.

From That’s Nerdalicious!: One of the reasons I’ve always said I’d be a bad mom is the fact that, if my kid could make something like this BTTF DeLorean out of mashed potatoes, I’d be encouraging them to play with their food.

Granted, it’s not Devil’s Tower from Close Encounters, but it’d a pretty tasty looking piece of spud art.

Omnomnomzoooooooooooooooomnom.

From That’s Nerdalicious!: We’ve featured Star Wars lightsaber chopsticks in the past, so it only seems right that Harry Potter should get the same treatment—especially in the midst of the success of The Deathly Hallows Part I.

Perhaps you can use these to cast a spell that magically lifts the sushi to your mouth without the need for any real chopstick skills.

From That’s Nerdalicious! Screw you George Foreman—Breville’s got a machine that makes mini pies!

Of course, you could put this in your closet with a George Foreman grill and hope that they hook up and deliver a device that makes hamburger/pie hybrids.

Robert Downey Jr. is putting his considerable talents to the test as the voice Mr. Peanut 2.0. The change is part of a 21st century makeover that will debut this holiday.

Beyond the voice, the new Peanut is pretty unremarkable—the top hat, monocle and cane are all there but he’s wearing a jacket now. Still not classy enough to wear pants though.

I kind of always expected Mr. Peanut to be British actually, so it’s kind of odd that Downey Jr. is using his regular voice. Maybe he didn’t think that was part of the character’s essence during the months it most have taken to prepare for this role.
