It started with a Kangaroo scrotum and ended with an amber alert, this week’s social media round-up also includes cupcakes, Irish sayings, and prawn edamame. Here are six things:<\/p>\n

1. The Kangaroo Scrotum<\/a> came all the way from Australia via a friend who is travelling there for the first time.<\/p>\n

2. Cupcakes.<\/em> Heather and Lori are the Cupcake Girls<\/a> and their reality show<\/a> is a phenomenon in the city. On Thursday, carts of cupcakes miraculously appeared in the office, pushed by men and women in 80s style suits reminiscent of a Robert Palmer video.<\/p>\n

3. 6am at the Pacific Centre.<\/em> I thought people were camped out overnight for an Apple product. However, people braved the night to get a peek at Maison Martin Margiela’s new collection.<\/p>\n

4. The Irish.<\/em> I didn’t realize how funny Irish sayings were until I started working with Scottish and Irish ex-pats. I’m hoping the hilarity continues.<\/p>\n

5. Amber Alert.<\/em> Three-year-old Alvin Barnett’s face and the alert were all over Vancouver on Thursday, the day he went missing. He was found in Montana and is now safely with authorities.<\/p>\n

6. Prawn Edamame Recipe.<\/em> One delicious-looking gluten-free recipe that we tried during the week<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Required: 1-lb bag frozen shelled edamame, 2-lbs raw peeled shrimp (thawed), 1\/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp ground black pepper, 1 tbsp kosher salt, 1 tsp smoked paprika<\/p>\n

1. Heat oven to 450F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.<\/p>\n

2. Heat edamame in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Pour off any liquid and add to the baking sheet.<\/p>\n

3. Add shrimp to the baking sheet and drizzle oil over them. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.<\/p>\n

4. Mix everything together until well coated. Spread evenly over the pan. Roast for 5 minutes. Turn the shrimp and roast for another 2-3 minutes until shrimp is pink and firm. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n
