My 90s child self would have really really enjoyed that TMNT cookbook!

I‘ve always known these as dinner mints. I’ve always liked them, but I can’t imagine eating these as a satisfying “vice” treat. They make me think of eating at restaurants with my grandparents, which seems too wholesome.

I’m kind of surprised there isn’t a single state with a fancier holiday candy, like Toblerone or Ferrero Rocher or something that isn’t an ‘everyday’ purchase. If you’re buying candy from a specialty website why not get something different that you can’t just get on sale anyhow at Kroger’s.

First read your user name as “Josh The Cannibal Columnist”, which I was going to star for excellent user name/comment sync.

I’m hoping they keep QR code menus, but also keep paper menus as a prominent option. If we’re out near home, the spouse and I will often only have one phone between us or not take a phone at all. A smartphone & data plan shouldn’t be a requirement for getting a bite to eat.

Well now I just see Shakespeare as a notorious grabass- thanks a lot! Although I always envision Shakespeare as 90s Joseph Fiennes, so that softens the blow a bit.

Hey kids, let’s go to KFC and get some apple sauce!

Yeah, Cathy always seemed like part of the problem rather than part of the solution. (Cathy- get some self-confidence!!) I wasn’t an adult woman in the 80s, though, so my take might not be what was intended.

Having a cheese-less veggie pizza at Pizza Hut does not sound like a 5-star experience.

Grilled whole salmon fillet. Easy, quick cooking, adaptable to different seasoning profiles, and impresses guests from inland states. Plus any leftovers make good salmon spread.

I saw a Halloween tombstone decoration a few streets away last week that said “I didn’t get the jab!” and was quite impressed.

I’ve always confused Dune with Tremors.  Maybe because they both involve desert locations?

You’d think a company with thousands of employees would have better communications/messaging folks that would read and edit all statements from the big boss before they went out.

I’m definitely going to start using “There’s no crying in pumpkin growing” from now on when things go amiss in life.

I had assumed all their production for Halloween was completed back in January to let the candies cure to their proper staleness!

I’ve found Quorn at most regional supermarket chains (in Midwest & West Coast), but natural groceries are usually a safe bet to find it. I mainly bought it so we could have “Quorn and corn” night. Why, yes, we are dorks.

This sort of sums up the political system of monarchy nicely.

I think you’re ok with the mortgage company as long as they don’t know you also got a frozen dessert. Those cretins deserve NOTHING!

They both have children. Maybe they can go shopping together?
