Fresh Shop: Miniature Trapdoor.

Satellite dishes, mountain men and sponges aren't your typical watercolor inspirations. But that's what we love about Miniature Trapdoor, a fresh Etsy shop out of Brooklyn, New York. Their atypical subjects will certainly have you questioning what's art and what's not. Who knew an electrical socket could be so thought-provoking?

"Green Rocks and Sponge"



















"Roof Dishes"




















"Mountain Man"

Off The Bone.

Best ribs in America? (photo from the ABC News Blog).




















If you're a fan of ribs (like me), this story, will make your stomach grumble. Ron Claiborne, from ABC's "Good Morning America" has been searching for the best ribs in America. It appears he may have found a winner.

"Dinosaur Bar-B-Que", from Syracuse, New York, was recently crowned the winner of ABC's "Best Barbecue" contest. According to John Stage, owner of Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, "straight-up hickory" is the key to their success.

Hankering for some ribs? Check out Dinosaur's award-winning recipe, here. (Story, images, video courtesy of ABC News/Blog).
