Gorgeous Chain Reaction Kidney handbag by Three As Four. Why must they make such pretty things? We love that there’s two kidneys!

Kidney Parties!

Eleven years after a successful kidney transplant, Jim Wallace still appreciates his kidneys. So much so, in fact, that he and his wife have thrown a Kidney Party in celebration of his fabulous filtering organ every year since. They make kidney pie and serve kidney bean salad in honor of the organ. Very cute! {via Los Angeles Times. Thanks, Mom!}

Eat Off Organs

Dishes covered with squishy organs? Um, yeah! Check out the Anatomica bone china series by Lisa Turner for The New English. Love these, especially how she shows the kidneys on the back. Too bad $74 for a single plate is a little too rich for our blood. {via The New York Times}

Doctor’s Orders

They’re stocking candy canes at the grocery store, and our local Bed Bath & Beyond’s got plush singing rabbis (I’m not making this up), so that must mean the holidays are near. Gearing up for the holiday season before Thanksgiving fills me with disgust, but being the gut-monger I am, I suppose I must jump aboard the holiday retail bandwagon and remind you to check out our Gutsy Gift Guide. It’ll tell you what to buy if your best friend is getting a mammogram, or just the thing for your diabetic brother. There’s even a sebaceous gland lapel pin for that diligent cosmotologist who got rid of all those zits for ya. Our handy list will help you find just what the doctor ordered for that marvelous nurse, amazing pediatrician, or that special medical student in your life. So take two lapel pins and call us in the morning.
