The Italian side of my family had more adventurous palates, so we got the ham salad, although not “pulsed” just chopped kind of chunky. They never got peanut butter, tho.

Yep to the ham salad timing, also the Corningware and club crackers. I still buy club crackers. They are underrated.

Nostalgia. I really like hand cranked pencil sharpeners.

I have some Amazon pencils. Adequate. A bit light. Perfectly usable but nothing to brag about.

After that amount of carbs, you need to turn yourself in to Type-2 Diabetics Anonymous.

I was tempted, but it’s non-stick. No self-respecting pizza stone is non-stick.

Like being a police sketch artist for people’s non-human fantasies. Also, is there a genre called crabcake?

And totally embarrassing to be seen with in public.

• What, in your opinion, is the one food that is never better homemade? Never? Probably condiments, except aioli. And pesto. Is that a condiment? I tried making mozzarella cheese once. The effort to results ratio was way off.
  

Yes! It looks like a futuristic dog bowl.

Macaroni and cheese is considered soup in Philadelphia?

I think you kind of have to buy something now and then (if you can) so your life isn’t a miserable hamster wheel of work/pay bills/work/pay bills. But as for whether the shoes were a good choice, first, $200 isn’t that much money, unless it is to you. Second, are they going to be useful, as well as fabulous? Because…

Morningstar Farms rocks now that they are non-GMO soy.

And the depression is worsened by having to clean up the mess they just made.

A good, chunky cream of tomato soup is a thing of beauty and delicious.

Mozzarella en carrozza is awesome and has probably been around as long as mozzarella.

Ok, the way some of them eat meat. LOL. But I can’t bear to think of eating fish seven days a week. More like once or twice a year.

Otherwise, if I say I’m pescatarian, literal-minded meat eaters often assume I eat fish at every meal, the way they eat meat.

Some people who are technically pescatarian only eat fish once in a great while. It’s easier for me to say I’m vegetarian, because people are usually asking what kind of restaurant we should all go to, not for my entire eating philosophy. Since I only eat fish a couple of times a year, and then only shellfish,…

Does anybody really want a hotdog that’s been inside a banana peel? Ew.
