i don’t much care for their regular tacos, but gimme those mini tacos and we’re talking. they’re adorable and delicious.

this comment section has made me feel so seen.

agreed, TOC is honestly mostly a big top chef reunion show and i kind of love it.

kroger actually does make a pretty decent line of frozen pizzas. for quite a time i had to put up with gluten free due to a roommate’s sensitivity and the kroger gluten free pepperoni pizza was surprisingly tasty. and at the under $6 price, you really can’t beat that.

i mean, maybe it’s because i’d rather buy the materials to make cinnamon rolls or french toast, perhaps eggs and bacon, or a few bagels with semi-decent accoutrements than fork over the obscene prices they’re asking for a small box of sugary cereal. i won’t lie, i will shovel cinnamon toast crunch, frosted flakes, and…

this assumes we have the joy of time and gas to waste. i mean, regardless of what we do, we’re going to be burning something, whether it be time, energy, fossil fuels, or cash. i’ve got a bad knee, a third floor apartment with no elevator, and minimal cash, so i’m definitely planning my meals to the dollar and making…

oh, i am not that proud to be a virginian right now. i mean i haven’t lived there for almost 20 years now but still...oof.

having been a girl scout for ten years, six of them with my mom as my troop leader and my basement as the official cookie depot of troop 574, i tasted a lot of dang cookies. i really, really miss the chalet cremes (especially lemon) and the golden nut clusters. those things were pure candy and super sweet even to my…

i have a soft spot for the doritos locos tacos, if only bc i lived in columbus, OH for a year while they were testing these out in that market (i never knew that it was such a hotbed of fast food testing, but apparently it’s got the perfect demographics) and i always enjoyed grabbing a sack of them on the walk home…

hah, i feel the complete opposite about holiday vs regular reese’s - i feel like the eggs/hearts/trees/whatever have way too much pb and way too thin a chocolate coating. the cups have the ultimate ratio so far as i’m concerned. 

it’s been nearly 20 years since i’ve had a real winter bc southern AZ doesn’t hold with that snow nonsense, but back when i did, i remember my mom quite often making the brodo recipe from her well-loved Splendid Table cookbook. she’d start it after the 6 am school cancellations on the news and it would slowly simmer…

flats are my favorite. the meat is more tender than the drummies, and there’s something so satisfying about getting it all off the bones. i’ll take drums if there’s no other option, but i refuse to capitulate to boneless wings being wings at all. they are glorified popcorn chicken and in that capacity to me, they are…

an intolerance to most legumes keeps me out of the veg-head runnings, mostly. not being able to eat soy, black beans, mung beans, peanuts, and quite a few other beans and nuts really puts a damper on both meat replacers (save for beyond meats, though those are way too expensive to use regularly) and also for getting…

two if by land, one if by sea....but keep that damn sandwich away from me.

it’s suddenly occurring to me that for as goofy a person as i am, i don’t have many kitchen tchotchkes and silly things in my favorite part of the house. i do love this little ceramic sponge-holding guy, though. my parents got him for me for christmas several years ago from a little pottery shop at an artists’…

i’d love to donate blood, and goodness knows i’ve got plenty of it kicking around, but i can’t donate because i lived in europe in the early 80's and apparently i may be a vector for mad cow disease. lame.

probably bc marketers are content thinking the average american is happy with milk chocolate and not much else. not that i don’t agree with you, but man it seems hard for a new flavor that’s not overly, sickeningly sweet to make it as a success.

not gonna lie, she took me by surprise when dropping f-bombs in not one but two songs back on folklore- including in a chorus! i’ve enjoyed her songwriting for awhile now, but it did seem completely outside her wheelhouse. not displeased by it though.

i mean, i didn’t intentionally eat the powder straight from the can, but after dumping twice as much quik as called for into the milk, i’d definitely scoop the sludgy undissolved stuff out of the glass and enjoy it after my drink...so, kinda?

i loved that show as a kid. my brother and i still to this day quote ‘dad, it’s tilted!!’ when the christmas tree goes up. even if we’re across the country we still text it to each other, it was such a great bit.
