as the slowest cook aboard the planet, i feel like i would still find a way to make this take at least an hour.

for real though, shout out to the buttered popcorn jelly belly, those things are delightful. idgaf how polarizing they are, it usually just means there’s more left for me. my nearest grocery store sells a rotating variety of jb flavors in bulk, but buttered popcorn is a constant so i know i’m not alone!

ghiradelli butterscotch chips are what i use, and they taste lovely so far as i’m concerned. i agree you don’t get as clear a butterscotch taste in a chip as opposed to a straight-up sauce or candy, but the ghiradellis are pretty good. but a cookie with a butterscotch swirl sounds like i would eat two dozen right here…

i am with you on the oatmeal raisin cookie train. they are far more delightful than people give them credit for. also delicious? oatmeal butterscotchies, with butterscotch chips in lieu of raisins. freaking amazing.

in my house, the top tier bowl was the plastic ninja turtles prize that came shrink-wrapped to the box of ninja turtles cereal sometime back in the late 80's or early 90's. it was deep enough to get a good proportion of cereal to milk, but not so big that you’d piss your parents off by eating too much cereal at once…

oh dang, i’m having some childhood flashbacks right now. i’d completely forgotten that the so very bucolic farm-as-a-daycare i went to as a kiddo had mulberry bushes (trees, i guess?) all over the property edges, and i have many memories of eating them in the warmer months- even the funky little white ones that tasted…

holy childhood flashback batman, i’d completely forgotten about berry kix. *sigh* ah to go back to the days when the biggest struggle was getting the good cereal bowl and color changing spoon and not being left with the crappy bowl.

i enjoy it if the weather is nice, the company (if any) is good, and the food lends itself to being eaten outside, like grilled food or sandwiches. that being said, in the southwest the weather is stupidly inconvenient for more than half the year (it’s either hot, windy, dusty, or monsoony). carrying everything from…

i just discovered that i can buy duke’s at the walmart grocery across the street from my apartment. i never thought to look bc i’m in arizona, but holy crap, it is a revelation.

oh my, this sounds delightful. 

i feel like they would have to, like, the human body can only handle so much before it decides to evacuate shit. don’t they have to keep it down for a certain amount of time though? i shudder to think of how they must feel after that. guhhhh.

aside from the sheer amount of food these dudes put away, i for one cannot fathom how the body takes on that much sodium in one go. i can house approximately two nathan’s hot dogs before i feel like i’m a walking salt shaker; i can’t imagine how they process 70 effing hot dogs without winding up in the ER. howwww?

i swear it’s gotta be a textural thing. either that or they do it for the moisture, since they’re chronically dehydrated. then again i found my youngest cat faceplanting into some mashed potatoes on the counter the other day, so, who knows.

my beloved hamster i had years ago was a fiend for strawberries. the fruit, sure, but also any candy/cookie/ice cream that had strawberries was fair game to him. my favorite picture of him is his butt sticking out of a mug that had strawberry ice cream in it that he swan-jumped into from my shoulder.

heh, it is possible. his most favorite things in the world are beer, fried chicken, and homemade pizza and pasta. not eating those anymore is probably helping him out, though he’s always been a beanpole and we only found out about the gluten three years ago. i just envy the sheer amount of sweets he can eat and not…

ugh, same. my partner can survive on tamales, cheese toast, and a never-ending glut of candy and he loses weight every damn time he goes to the doctor. i hardly ever touch sweets and don’t eat all that much bc i’m hefty and i’m currently in year 31 of trying to lose some of the weight, and it is so frustrating. i wish…

ummmm, so i just tried this out with the dregs of a bag of pepitas that were languishing in my pantry, and it was delightful! i wound up microwaving them for about three and a half minutes total, with a little bit of olive oil and old bay, and just demolished them for a mid-afternoon work-at-home snack. thank you for…

maybe you can take it down a notch and find a seven-step program.

didn’t they recently make a big parade about how many vegetarian and/or vegan items you can get from their menu? if they axe the potatoes, i feel like that’s just mean. also nooooooo, i love the 7-layer burrito and the beefy frito burrito. sometimes i just want a ridiculously heavy fast food bag for very minimal…

yep. my partner is gluten intolerant and nearly every single gf bread product is an exercise in disappointment. there was one type of bun, though, that he really liked, and i use it for pretty much anything he eats - mini pizzas, burgers, hell it even presses down well enough if he wants a cuban sandwich. it’s been…
