Experimenting with western food this weekend. Broccoli seems okay with parmesan in soup. Still don't particularly liked cooked carrots. Found Reynold's cupcake cup inherently hilarious because of immediate mental image of Mike in a commercial for cupcakes. Are there even commercials for cupcakes? Are there food commercials? Not as in commercial for butter substitutes but, you know, an actual item of food that has been cooked and is ready for consumption?
Polling the audience: where do you go to get things framed?
[edit 13:03]
Guys, guys, you know what I discovered? Masala-chai cupcakes with cream cheese & honey frosting! It's a recipe I adopted from something (also was originally going to try lavender-earl-grey combination but forgot to take some lavender with me when I was home for the holidays--FAIL) and the cupcakes are decent, nothing too special, and the frosting is ...kind of weird, actually, but acceptable, but the two together is like magic.
Now I just need to figure out why all the stuff came out flat-topped instead of dome-topped.

Hehe I realized I haven't left a comment in a while! Yum, cupcakes!
Regarding where to get things framed - I think it is probably way cheaper to just buy a frame and do it yourself! Once I wanted to frame something I drew as a gift for someone so I went to a professional place, and it was so expensive that I ended up just doing it myself...and it ended up looking just fine!
Well there are food commercials sometimes for specific dishes available in specific restaurants, but I don't know if that's quite what you mean.
If you can find a standard size frame from a store that fits, it's definitely cheapest and easiest. Michael's does framing, but it's pretty expensive. They do have some coupons for it in the paper or the catalogue or whatever, if I'm not mistaken. There's an Armenian place here that does pretty nice frames for relatively cheap, too, although I don't know if timing of visits would work out for that.
Oh and to add to the frame thing - if the standard sized frame doesn't quite fit, you can always buy a piece of matting and put it around the picture so it fits. :3
