Nerd Fun: Which Celebrities Are You Taller Than?
Hey, at least I'm taller than
Janeane Garofalo! Need to kill some time while simultaneous envisioning yourself next to celebrities?
Admit it, if you came face to face with Tom Cruise you'd make him go back-to-back for comparesies.
What's Height Got to Do With It?
I'm not sure if it's because Tom Cruise has a short complex or if the media is just looking for another reason to poke fun of him, and Katie Holmes wearing high heels has been a bone of contention for as long as they've been a couple. But last night at the Tropic Thunder premiere, Katie stood tall and proud on the arm of her hubby and made it seem as though height was actually not an issue at all. Since I've never dated anyone shorter than me, I can't say how I'd feel about it, but what about you?

Non Voyage: Make Chicago Your Kid's Kind of Town
When you are through celebrating the bright lights of New York, head to the Midwest to give your children a taste of Chicago. The Windy City, which isn't really as breezy as kids might think, offers a scaled down version of big city living with its own unique flavors and sights.
- The newly reopened Shedd Aquarium is one of the hottest destinations for Chicago-bound kids with its up close and personal looks at beluga whales, sea otters and sharks. Try visiting a local aquarium to get an aquatic animal experience. The Shedd's Polar Playzone allows kids to dress up like penguins and practice waddling around with an "egg" between their legs, sliding down ramps and experiencing life in a freezing atmosphere.
- The Crown Fountain at Millennium Park is a big attraction for tots with its 50 foot towers bookending a reflecting pool of water and its video images that spout out water at unexpected times. Recreate the fun water experience with a backyard sprinkler that the kids can run through to cool off on a hot day.
- Fill the kids up on local specialties like deep-dish pizza and Chicago-style hot dogs. Gino's East may make the perfect deep-dish pie in their restaurant, but instead of having it flown in, get your family to create your own perfect cornmeal-crusted deep-dish creation. Chicago-style hot dogs are known for their heaping piles of toppings like mustard, onions, relish, pickles and celery salt, so have the tots race to see who can build the tallest frankfurter.
- Navy Pier has become a giant amusement park for kids, complete with its own 150-foot tall ferris wheel. Recreate the ferris wheel with markers and scissors with these unique instructions.

Do You Know What's Cooking This Week?
Summer is the height of food festival season, and Party and I are in the thick of it now, paying visits to everything from the Great American Food & Music Festival to Sunset magazine's Celebration Weekend. As you read this, we're at the biggest one of all, the Aspen Food & Wine Classic — but before we left we had time to make some standout Summer dishes, like Pink Torpedoes, Parmesan fricos, and an airy, berry pavlova. Were you paying attention?
How-To: Weave a Willow Pergola
Last week, I showed you this beautiful willow pergola, which was featured at Sunset's Celebration Weekend. You can tour the Mod Cottage where the pergola was featured, if you missed the great photos of this cool house.
The woven technique used in the pergola is referred to as wattle.
