That doesn’t even make any sense. Ship me Code Red, you bastards!

I don’t know that we have an equivalent here in the States. A quick search says it’s like Miracle Whip but that’s made by Kraft, not Heinz.

I got all excited looking at the list but they don’t have Puffcorn listed and that is fucking TRAGIC. No, it is not the popcorn. It’s cheese puffs in puffier form. They melt in my mouth and I’m not ashamed in saying I’d probably order, like, ten bags if they were on offer. Gotta get that free shipping, right?

Salad cream? What? Why do English people not speak English? God damn!

Haven’t gotten a hot coffee from them in forever but they’ve got the butter pecan flavoring right now so get yourself a medium iced with butter pecan and one cream only. You are welcome.

No Mediterranean places nearby? Been a few weeks but we usually get some falafel as an appetizer when we order from a place that has it.

I just finished The Sword of Knowledge which is not as exciting as it sounds. Three books in an anthology. C.J. Cherryh came up with the idea and had three other authors write books within the universe she created. That part is cool but it felt like each book built up to something and then stopped. Kinda…

I don’t think of myself as a criminal when playing. Just someone with slightly less scruples than my normal self. Like a murder-hobo with cars and guns. Plenty of video games out there aren’t that much more “moral” with the actions they take, either.

While I’m sure we’ll all miss those who’ve gone on to new things I’m sure we’ll grow to enjoy the new writers as much as the old just so long as Kotaku keeps its edge. That’s why we keep coming back and it sounds like the new writers understand that. Fingers crossed.

I’ve floated the idea of a later reception and getting married sooner (she does not have insurance) but it’s not what either of us really wants. Would definitely save us some money, though!

The power supply in my PC has had some serious coil whine for the past week. I ordered a new PSU on Friday but it hasn’t shipped yet and no idea when it will. Got it off TigerDirect because everything was out of stock or wouldn’t ship for two weeks on NewEgg, MicroCenter, or Amazon. My PC is chugging along but it did…

Parts of Illinois where nobody lives will open long before Chicago does. A cousin of mine insists on sticking to her wedding date in June in West Virginia and there’s just no way I’m going. Traveling there either by plane or renting a car seems ill-advised and the last thing I want is for large swaths of my family to…

Him laughing at Gary Payton was cold blooded but funny as fuck.

Guy is the best. Triple D is all about exploring and promoting local joints all over the place and that’s just great. Huge boon to those businesses. I also enjoy Triple G and it’s fun to see him pal around with other chefs. He has even brought some people from Triple D to compete on Guys Grocery Games which further…

North Carolina – pulled pork sandwich (both Eastern and Western style)

The missus cut my hair a couple weeks ago. Used trimmers along the back and sides and then I trimmed a little of the top. I should go back and finish the front tips but meh. I instructed her on how I’d seen barbers do it but she was nervous and it took over an hour. Doesn’t look bad. I’ll get it cleaned up eventually…

We bought a 2000-piece puzzle back in February (or January?) before all this began. It took two of us a couple hours a day for four days to complete. My back and neck hurt from leaning over the table for so long. My fault for standing but the damned thing went all the way across the table. I would stand on the other…

Other thing to note: they had some bomb-ass sorbet flavors at the time. Doonesbury, Strawberry Kiwi, and some sort of passionfruit thing (not a fan, personally). We served a “sorbet splash” that was said sorbet mixed with Sprite. Oi, feckin’ delicious, it was!

I worked at a B&J scoop shop in my younger days. The problem I had with Phish Food was that the marshmallow swirl doesn’t freeze all too well so you had to have it in a cup because it would melt off of a cone within seconds. In a cup, though, it’s mighty delicious. Who doesn’t love chocolate ice cream with caramel and…
