i mean if you’re going by the straight-up definition of sandwich, that requires bread, so a lettuce-wrapped thing isn’t a sandwich. however, would definitely eat there since my fat ass doesn’t need more carbs and i’ve come to enjoy a good breadless sammy. 

a friend and i went to one of the harry potter movies back in the day with our own homemade butterbeer. it didn’t feel very authentic with it being transported in soda bottles in lieu of beer bottles (we didn’t want to risk the clinky clanky bottle rolling issue) but seeing as we were in our early twenties, the…

i effing looooove butterscotchies. back in my college days when i couldn’t eat chocolate for a time (‘twas a dark time of a limited diet that excluded anything that came from beans, chocolate included), my mom sent me a batch of oatmeal scotchies. i’m pretty sure the recipe from the back of the bag - oh my lord my…

of all the fancy foods the kid could be into, this is not exactly the high fallutinest. what’s not to love about eggs and bacon mixed with pasta and cheese? it’s the perfect amalgamation of breakfast and dinner and it comes together in 20 minutes.

if i’m thinking christmas via candy, i’m thinking of chocolate oranges, peppermint bark, those little chocolate bottles with the booze in ‘em, palmer’s ‘chocolate’ bells/santas/coins that aren’t chocolate at all but goshdangit they’re delicious, and christmas m&m’s. i know you can get m&m’s all year round but a bowl…

i think around 4 or 5 ounces? it’s a very decent buy for a dollar, i’ll put it that way.

pretty much. i know people are handling things differently and some like to throw themselves into something new, but i am definitely in the comfort in consistency camp. i have been going hard on childhood favorites (hello, super nintendo game play-throughs on youtube and plain ham-n-cheese sandwiches) so if that makes…

i found myself among those who got perturbed, but not because i hate the new version at all, it’s actually rather cute. but since they’ve been running the original for the majority of my life and it’s thus part of my Holiday Season Memory Catalog, it was jarring to hear something very familiar change up into something…

i dunno, i laughed a lot watching it and my partner did too, and our senses of humor don’t usually cross much. 

i cherish dolly so much. she takes no shit but lights up a room while doing so, and that is basically an impossible line to straddle, yet here she is, doing it for decades. 

you would think america would be all over this. it has butter in the name, for pete’s sake, that’s the ‘murrican wheelhouse. 

this was delightful to read, bc roald dahl was a genius and his books were amazing, so a sandwich inspired by him was bound to be fun at any rate. xanthan gum is seriously wild stuff too; i used it one time to thicken up a homemade dip that i put wayyyy too much sour cream into and i could have made a brick wall with…

ooh, thanks for the nod to using gluten free flour as a possibility. the perpetually hungry dude i share life with loves him some flatbread but my god, they are expensive to buy at the store ($7 for 4 pitas, ayfkm?) so i’ll definitely have to try this with a gluten free ap blend mixed with the baking powder and salt.

earlier this summer, my partner got me a pretty decent acoustic-electric guitar to replace the one i had to give up about a decade ago. thanks to quarantine i’ve felt extremely uninspired and haven’t really picked it up at all, much to his chagrin. i have a feeling he’ll stop pestering me about it once i start trying…

....i now regret asking.

i mean...i’m here for it. i know when i see them on an endcap display at fry’s i’ll put a bag in my cart. 

i am effing obsessed with mint chocolate and have been since i was a wee kiddo, this was a fun draft! i’ve gotta go with lillian on this one, because peppermint bark is bomb, mint chip is my absolute favorite ice cream of all, and fudge is my favorite sweet treat and adding mint to it is amazing. she picked three of…

i honestly have fond memories of eating those with my roommates senior year of college when HP fever was quite high (early 2000's, what a time) and once we could identify what the disgusting ones were (how did they mimic vomit and earwax so well? who’s eaten enough earwax to know?), we left them in a candy bowl on our…

i fail to see the problem with this

the dollar tree nearest to my apartment sells belly flops for $1 a bag and i snag them every time i see them since they’re not always around. they’re awesome, and i enjoy spending an episode or two of whatever i’m binge-watching picking out the beans i love and tossing the rest to my partner who will eat anything with…
