Onion post-its, Tie Fighter gingerbread, and campuses are cooking your mama's recipes

So, when the Kokuyo Design award winners were announced, this post-it pad won the grand prize.

From Tokyomango:

"Each layer looks slightly different from the one before it, and the translucency and texture make it really feel like you are peeling off thinly cut layers of the onion."

It makes me want to cry.

In other Web ramblings, I found this Flickr photo set of a group of geeks who made a Tie Fighter gingerbread creation this year.

And, in an effort to get students to stop complaining about cafeteria food, schools are taking a page out of mom's recipe book.

"STORRS, Connecticut (AP) -- Stung by decades of jokes about mystery meat and soggy sandwiches, college dining halls around the country are borrowing recipes from the ultimate authority on heartwarming meals: Mom. (And Dad, too.)"

If my experience was anything to go by, you can offer gourmet food, and students will still complain. It's part of the college lifestyle.
