...still baffled, though. I had picked Continental for its direct flight and surprisingly low fare (roughly $220, including taxes, from Cleveland to Ft. Meyers), not expecting frills and stellar service. For me, these experiences dispelled the myth that most low-fare airlines want their thirsty, hungry, and frustrated customers to believe: that cheap prices and quality service are mutually exclusive. Low-fare airlines need to realize that offering competitive prices is only half the battle in being competitive, and that offering these fares is no license to actively destroy customer satisfaction...

Perhaps a diet of strictly romcom fare is no healthier for movie stars than it is for audiences. Still, Hudson does win the bridal wars in one sense: when it comes to The Dress...
...bacon-for-dessert trend isn't limited to high-end, experimental restaurants. In 2008 you could buy bacon-covered chocolate at the Minnesota State Fair or watch bacon get dipped in chocolate on the Food Network's Dinner: Impossible. "I bet other meats would work" in sugary fare, says chef Jerome Chang, whose itinerant Dessert Truck serves New Yorkers a $5 chocolate bread pudding with bacon crème anglaise. "Bacon is just more sellable because people mix it up with their pancakes and their syrup and they're used to that. Plus, people like bacon...
