The Weekend Links: Saturday Edition

From Jan I bring you your newest fascination: Cooking with Dog is a bizarre Japanese cooking show "˜hosted' by Francis—a seemingly sedated, tear-stained poodle who kindly translates the show for us in English.
*

From Elye some incredible cakes that are more art than food (although I bet they are still delicious!)
*
School Lunch Nation: a new mom and teacher is eating school lunch every day for a year, and asking a lot of thought-provoking questions about what she finds. What was your favorite school lunch, Flossers? The spaghetti at my high school was an event every time it came around - delicious stuff.
*
From the Annals of Too Much Time: If you're like me and pay more attention the background in some films than the foreground, you may have noticed that some props get recycled over and over again, such as this recurring prop newspaper, which has been, astoundingly, visually chronicled in a slew of TV shows and movies.
*
It sounds too good to be true, so, what exactly is inside a 5-hour energy drink? Asylum.com breaks it down for us, ingredient by ingredient.
*
And while you're in the food exploring mood, check out the Twinkie, Deconstructed.
*
What's red, 15 meters tall and made from 2,600 Coca-Cola crates?  Meet Crate Fan, the beverage giant's monument to the FIFA World Cup, just starting in South Africa (go USA!).  As well as a (very good) advert for the product, the company have stated that it is a very visible statement of their commitment to recycling in the African nation.
