"Olive Garden: For When You Want Sauce From A Bag, But Don't Want Your Family To See You Making It!"

Found you!

Maybe? I've been a horrible slacker about Twitter lately. :/

ALL HAIL CREEPY SCANDINAVIAN TUBE FOODZ.
When I get home I'll send you a link to the website where I've found a lot of Swedish weird stuff. I can at least get Siljans hardtack at Cost Plus!

I'll happily eat pickled herring and the horrible caviar out of the tube, but sour herring and lutefisk are more than I can do.

My family is from way north, so while sour herring was eaten by my great-grandparents when everyone had had enough aquavit, we never did have much lutefisk around. I don't think anyone has eaten it except my morbidly curious sister for at least 50 years.

Weird! Literally nobody in my family eats it, including my octogenarian cousins. They do love anchovies, though.

Yeah, it's pretty horrifying.

Yeah, Lutefisk is really a Minnesota thing, not a Swedish or Norwegian thing. My family, although they lived in Minnesota sometimes, are Sweden-Swedish (we have plenty of family in Sweden, and we're more in touch with them). My family doesn't eat Lutefisk. Terrifying variations on pickled herring, yes, and fucking…

I agree with much of this, BUT I LOVE OYSTERS SO THERE.

I have to admit, I was underwhelmed by Chicago's Asian food while I was there. It wasn't terrible, but I found most of it to be pretty meh. I lived at 40th and Western, so we were able to go to Chinatown whenever we wanted - it was okay, with one standout place that has since closed. It made me a sad panda. :(

Happy Birthday, Burt Reynolds!

I think she's kinda like Beetlejuice - say Marc Jacobs' name three times, and she appears and begins spamming the hell out of threads.

BRB. HORMONE POISONING.

JESUS HE'S TRYING TO KILL US NOW.

Ha! I think that's the right name for it...Kyosuke is such a freakin' badass. She's basically my Internet Writing Hero.

I bought four boxes yesterday!

I DID NOT REALIZE I COULD LOVE YOU MORE.
