WW161: VALEK ROLLING PINS, TOBY ATTICUS FRALEY AND KEERMEET

Hey guys! Here are 5 things that I think are fantastic this week!!!!

1.) Hey Aimée, Cousin Penny, and all you baking type people…….I found this for you! I HATE to bake…but maybe if I had THIS….I would:

Engraved rolling pins to cheer up your cookies…your cakes, pasta, sugar frosting to cover the cake and even dumplings! (the one above is DOGGIES) Thanks to Valek Rolling Pins:

OMG! Burgers, fries and shakes!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

HERE IS WHERE YOU BUY IT!
Thanks Etsy!

2.) HOLY CRAP I LOVE THIS………Toby Atticus Fraley from Pittsburg takes vintage thermoses, picnic coolers, and various found thingies…..and then TRANSFORMS them into robots.

"The Secret Life of Robots", is on view at SPACE gallery in Pittsburgh through April 27, 2014! In his latest installation….he made dozens of robots in domestic vignettes….

"Robots assembled from pieces of Americana illustrate mundane everyday rituals, acts of daring, and precious milestones. These scenes of great joy and crushing sadness cover the beginning to the end of a typical robot’s lifespan, celebrating and revering the beauty in the everyday.”
Am I right nerds??? FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!!

3.) ok……here is ANOTHER food related thing…..but I had to share how DEEEELICIOUS this sounds…..thanks to The Girl Who Ate Everything!

Ingredients
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup basil pesto
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
2 (8 ounce) packages Pillsbury® Crescent Rolls
¼ cup melted butter
2 cups seasoned Panko crumbs

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray. In a medium bowl add the cream cheese, pesto, green onions, and chicken. Stir until combined. Salt and pepper to taste.
Unroll the crescent dough. Take two triangles and press them together to form a rectangle.
Spoon about ½ cup of the chicken mixture in the center of the rectangle and bring the corners of the crescent dough together, pinching to seal.
Place the Panko crumbs on a plate. Dip each chicken pillow in the melted butter (or brush it on using a pastry brush) and roll it in the Panko crumbs.
Place the chicken pillows seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken pillows have turned golden brown.
