Crave Worthy: The Folly Chair
I must admit to nursing a little crush on The Folly Chair ($950). I even love how its name represents the silliness of having two chair backs for one chair seat. Made of mahogany (though it resembles bamboo), it's paneled with handwoven caning.
Definition: Cane
Cane is the hollow, jointed stem of bamboo, wicker, or rattan that is often used to cover seats and backs of furniture and to make baskets. To say that something is "caned" suggests that a piece of furniture has been fitted with this type of stem. Do you own any caned furniture?
Pilot Watch: "Cane"
The networks have announced their fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching? Throughout the summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting my first impressions. A lot can change before a show makes it to air, so these aren't comprehensive reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now.
"Cane" Promotes Itself with an Ad You Can Eat
Sure, the whole scratch-and-sniff ad thing was revolutionary ... yesterday. We're way beyond that now.
Get a Sneak Peek of the New CBS Shows!
CBS is joining ABC and NBC by giving us video previews of its new fall shows. Some info on the new series is over at the network's fall preview site, but I've got all the clips and photos right here — including a special look at Hugh Jackman singing in the first episode of "Viva Laughlin"! Check it out:
One more "Viva" clip, plus clips from the other shows and a ton of pictures, so read more
CBS Shakes Things Up with Edgier Shows
I usually think of CBS as the most boring and reserved of all the networks, but it might be getting a bit of an image makeover come fall. Announcing its new shows at today's upfronts, the network introduced some fairly unconventional dramas — including a musical, a vampire show, and a series about 1970s swingers — plus one comedy and one reality show. The network's president said the goal this year was "to be daring and different," and with "Viva Laughlin" alone (pictured above), I'd say they've got that covered.

Taste Test: Thomas Kemper's Cane Sugar Soda
In what's become a growing trend among soda manufacturers, Thomas Kemper has recently reformulated their soda recipes and updated packaging. Instead of using high-fructose corn syrup, the new beverages are naturally sweetened with pure cane sugar.
I tasted three — Black Cherry, Root Beer, and Ginger Ale — of the company's five sodas and was pleasantly surprised by the results.

Sugar By Any Other Name
Just because you walk into a health food store doesn't mean you're going to get something healthy. You've still got to read the labels because unwanted sugar can still sneak into your food, cleverly disguised under other names.
Here's a list of sweeteners:
cane juice crystals
corn syrup
high fructose corn syrup
evaporated cane juice
unbleached sugar cane
organic dehydrated cane juice
malted barley extract
brown rice syrup
sucrose
fructose
The thing is, once any form of sugar gets into the body, there is little difference in how the body uses it.
