Cadbury More Than Just Gooey Eggs
Kraft Foods has been in the news the past couple days because they are attempting to acquire the candy giant Cadbury through an unsolicited offer.

Tennis Grand Slam
While my favorite Grand Slam involves crisp bacon and a trip to Denny’s, the Grand Slam in tennis should not be forgotten despite its lack of food choices. Much more media attention is paid to the Grand Slam in golf, especially since the arrival of Tiger Woods, but the Grand Slam in tennis is equally [...]
Duggars and Skype: Dinner Topics Reruns
If you’ve been keeping up with Dinner Topics, then you were right on top of things while reading your news this morning. EBay, after spinning off Skype several months ago, sold a majority of the tech company to private investors. Loyal readers already knew what Skype was, but if you need a refresher, check out [...]
