I love canned smoked oysters, but not as much their grocery store neighbour the canned smoked mussel. I open up a tin, dash in a bunch of hot sauce, then eat them with sourdough toast for breakfast. They’re super nutritious, inexpensive, high in protein....honestly surprised they’re not MORE popular.

If watching Mad Men taught me anything, it’s that every successful pitch is created out of desperation.

Sliced brioche. Mirepouix. Ridge Cut salt&pepper potato chips. Unexpected Cheddar. Cheap goat cheese. Dog treats!!

One more because Twitter is expressing it better than I ever could.....

Funny story in that my car at the time was having issues so I was borrowing my mom’s Oldsmobile Intrigue. It was a gold color, which I hated, and I hated driving it. That car saved my life. Also my mom was expecting to get her car back after two weeks of me using it; obviously she never got it back.

I was driving to work one morning when a woman ran a red light and hit me on the front passenger side at about 50 MPH. I miraculously came out of the accident unscathed - the EMS personnel who showed up looked at me and looked at my car and then looked back at me and asked “You walked out of that?” and shook his head.…

I’m so glad to hear that Ryan Fischer is doing ok! He has a long road ahead of him (how could he not develop PTSD from this?) but it sounds like he is receiving lots of love & support. Gun violence is so horrific and gunshot victims and their families have to live with the consequences of it for the rest of their…

I have a rather unholy love for Catalina dressing. I frequently will have bag salad with Catalina as a side for my lunch daily. I know better, I usually make my own salad dressings, but there’s nothing like Catalina.

I liked to make “pizza” around 3rd and 4th grade age. This entailed the following:

It’s basically sweet and sour pork, right? 

At some point I decided Catalina dressing was absolutely necessary to eat pork chops. In all fairness, my mom dried them out on the reg.

Bold of you to assume I don't still enjoy weird food.

Doctors give worse care to high BMI people. Get the shot because you will not be getting the best care if you get sick.

If you qualify as obese - I hate that word; let’s use... puppy. Everyone loves puppies. If you qualify as puppy, you are at higher risk of complications and death if you catch covid. That is a fact. You are just as valuable a person as someone who has a higher risk for any other reason. You should get the vaccine as…

On the flip side, counterfeit Yellow Tail might actually be drinkable.

Discovering that pre marinated H-Mart bulgogi was definitely a game changer for me. I do food experiments sometimes, and still the one my friends liked most was when I made pizzas with beef bulgogi (precooked in a pan before going on the pizza), green onion kimchi, and kimchi base mixed in with the marinara.

And co-opting wasn’t invented by Gen Xers, either. 

“Failure of Gen X.” I’m not sure in what magical land a “success” could have happened. Or how you would define a “success.” People may change their views over the course of a lifetime, and some not at all. Cultures change even slower than individuals. Seems a bit unfair to blame Gen X just because they furthered the…
