Mark your calendars for February 12!

The five-part series will air in the U.K. as part of a Stand Up to Cancer fundraiser.

The 10-part series is called "Waffles + Mochi."

Bland is out.

Swap out your licorice light posts and gumdrop garages for prosciutto paths and salami stairs.

“We had originally planned to give out just breakfast, but after listening to the House of Assembly’s address, we knew we couldn’t go back so we had to organize.”

An admin post in the group absolutely throttles the people who feel they are “crockpot masters” and thus “elevated beyond helping new crockstars.”

Meat carcasses hang from the rafters. There’s blood and sawdust on the floor. Doll-sized butchers stand in front, looking severe. (One is even holding a knife.) A historical mock-up for a museum, you think? Nope. This is an actual toy butcher shop for kids, circa 1850, and it was a runaway hit at the time.Collectors Weekly has a terrific little article on their website right now on the history of toy food.

Need a lesson in gratitude? Watch how this three-year-old boy reacts to receiving an avocado as a gift in this short video. It’s probably the most adorable thing you’ll see all day. This Vine was taken by the kid’s uncle, Jeff Simmons.

You might have been told never to play with your food as a kid, but now that you’re an adult, you can fully ignore that rule. Just look at this art project from Lucky Peach, where they turned four hot dogs into Disney princesses — Rapunzel, Ariel, Belle, and Pocahontas. We’re guessing you won’t need step-by-step instructions, but just in case you do, Lucky Peach has ’em. We have to say, the cheese dress with mustard embellishments for Belle might be our favorite.

Speaking as someone who’s had to enlist the help of her fiancé twice in the past month to find something she misplaced, I can say with certainty that it’s not cute when an adult loses something. Generally speaking, I’d imagine kids aren’t quite cheerful either when something goes missing, but the cute toddler in this video is an exception.

Imagine that you’re 5 years old and it’s Princess Week at your dance class. Obviously, this is a momentous occasion, so you have to consider your options carefully. You could go classic and dress as Belle or Jasmine, or go the more obscure route and dress as Thumbelina or the Swan Princess. But what if you decide that frilly dresses and musical numbers aren’t your thing?

New Mexico has become the first American state to take a legal stand on “lunch shaming” students who don’t have money to buy lunch. The tales of lunch shaming are not scarce — students have reportedly been stamped, forced to wear a wristband, had their lunches tossed out, or even told to perform chores in lieu of a meal. Now, thanks to the Hunger-Free Student’s Bill of Rights, kids can eat lunch without a side of humiliation.

When 5-year-old Sunshine Oelfke realized her friend didn’t have milk money for snack time at school, of her own accord she broke open her piggy bank. That was two weeks ago. Since then, the kindergartener has raised thousands online to pay for milk for her entire class at Birchview Elementary School in Ishpeming, Michigan.

On Sunday, I asked my sister where my bro-in-law was taking her for Mother’s Day lunch. “I’m not sure,” she said. “I just hope they have chairs.” Last week was her first back at work after having her second daughter and, since January, pretty much every meal she’s had — and ‘meal’ is a relative term here — has been eaten one-handed while she swayed side-to-side trying to calm a fussy infant.

Little kids love play kitchens, where they can pretend to be just like their parents — chopping, slicing, searing, and baking, with none of the yelling about how they’re about to burn themselves or poke an eye out. You’ve seen them — they’re usually clunky plastic in bright colors that just add to the visual disaster that having children turns your house into. But that wasn’t going to cut it for Reddit user mcsoup88.

Don't worry, we figured it out for you.

Netflix just announced that this season of The Great British Bake-Off will air in the United States on Friday, September 25

The waiver will last through December 31 of this year.

An Indiana elementary school has found a smart, charitable way to cut down on waste: It’s transforming all leftover cafeteria food into meals kids in need can take home on the weekends. Woodland Elementary School partnered with a food rescue organization called Cultivate to create the program.

And that's a relief given the essentialness of them.

What do the outbreaks at meatpacking plants mean when we’re standing in the grocery store figuring out dinner?
