A quick scan of the past week

pink wedding dress, search stats, Drew D'Amelia, Trader Joe's sign

A lot of people were looking for things this week. Except Drew -- he's already found fame.

Here are a few highlights from the last week on AOA:

+ We were lucky enough to get a hint for Matthew Loiacono's Kentucky contest.

+ Buffalo chicken rangoons: neither from Western New York nor Thailand Burma/Myanmar -- discuss.

+ Rachael Ray -- or her recipes, to be exact -- got pulled into the Presidential race.

+ They Might Be Giants' John Flansburgh talked with us about The Egg and the band's song about the venue. (He wrote it while driving!)

+ It seems more than a few people in the Capital Region were racing to beat the tax deadline.

+ Renee gave us the scoop on her hunt for a different kind of wedding dress -- and her experiences shopping at local boutiques.

+ The Trader Joe's campaign kept rolling.

+ And we met Drew D'Amelia, the Mathmaticious guy.
