After receiving the requisite number of votes on the CUUSO website, being green-lit by the company, and acquiring the licensing rights, LEGO has unveiled their official Back to the Future time traveling DeLorean playset. And this is it. The limited edition drops August 1st for around $55 and comes with enough pieces to mod the car into the DeLorean from any of the three movies. We're all gonna make the flying one from Back to the Future II though, right? I imagine a few purists will build the original, but the only person to build the one from the third movie will be the same guy who bought three sets so he could have them all on display simultaneously. 'That rich bastard' we'll all call him. Hit the jump for a closeup of the Doc and Marty minfigs.

GlutenfreeSingles is a dating website for people looking for a significant other that shares their gluten-free lifestyle. Cool, but I'm holding out for a dating site for people who only eat gut-wrenching junk food. Seperatebathrooms.com it'll be called.

Whether you have celiac disease, are gluten intolerant or choose to be gluten free for health reasons, we welcome you to GlutenfreeSingles, a website committed to building a national and global community for those who are gluten free. Living a gluten-free life can be challenging, especially in a world where gluten-soaked foods are just about everywhere. At GlutenfreeSingles, you are not alone!

Hey, whatever works. I know it can be hard finding someone that shares your specific lifestyle. Take mine for instance. You know how hard it is to find a girl who just wants to lay on the couch and play video games and drink beer all day? Next to impossible, and I've tried everything. My profile pic is even a Playstation controller and beer resting on my belly. Thanks to Julie, who agrees there should be a Geekologie dating website to get all you lovebirds together.

I had these popsicle molds for 14 months before using them once, yet in the weeks since I used them for the first time, I’ve made three other varieties and considered doing a 5-day week of posts here exclusively devoted to popsicle offerings. I’ve basically fallen down a popsicle rabbit hole so deep, now every time I see something that looks good, I think, I wonder how that would taste as a popsicle. (My family’s looking nervous around me, understandably.)

So, what changed? First, I realized that they hold 1/3 cup each. One-third of a cup! Do you know how little that is? You could literally stuff it with the most indulgent Ben & Jerry’s and still come in under their suggested serving size, while eating something that felt generous. Not that we’re going to do that. Yet. I also realized that all of the headaches that most iced frozen desserts involve — egg yolk custards, buckets of leftover egg whites, freezer bowls, the churning of machines so loud and groaning that we used to (seriously) lock in the bathroom so we didn’t have to hear it, only to have another two hours of freezer time to go — do not exist in Popsicle Land, a magical place where all concoctions freeze perfectly and but six hours stand between you and your next indulgence-on-a-stick. Finally, seeing as we recently decided it would be a really good idea to buy a white carpet, I especially love that at least the ones I’ve been making aren’t terribly drippy. As they’re mostly fruit purees and other thick things, they don’t so much melt back to a watery state when someone (not naming names) takes an hour to finish one.

I have a wooden box on top of my fridge where I throw all means of interestingly shaped glass bottles. I just can’t bear to throw them out, so they sit waiting to be reinvented. I love this project by Rux of Lush Prints because it gets my bottles out of the box and into the kitchen. (The fact that it’s super simple is a huge plus.) This would make a sweet gift delivered along with your favorite tea. Or choose a different design and fill the bottle with simple syrup for iced coffee or a your favorite cocktail. I’m filing away this idea for Christmas! – Amy
