goddammit. first of all, mac and cheese needs no additions, just leave it alone. secondly, raisins can be quite nice in certain applications, but this is doing them no favors in the PR department since half the planet seems to have a hate-on for them. dammit lady, what is you doing?

as a near-15-year resident of southern arizona, i can appreciate a cold drink on the holiday menu. i look forward to purchasing one before i do my annual thanksgiving shopping in shorts and a tank top.

and if she invented it alongside another chef and not this dude himself, that makes him more the step-father than the father of tiramisu, no? nevermind, i don’t know.

my mom has done this for years; she loves a good mounds bar but my dad is diabetic and she herself has dental issues so they have to limit candy. she’ll keep a cache of mounds in the secondary freezer so they don’t mow through the whole bag in one go. i’ve never resorted to freezing candy myself, but i can attest that…

i feel like not enough attention is being paid to everybody making a decently-serviceable baklava in under three freaking hours, with from-scratch philo. that is completely batshit insane to me and i’m proud of all of them. also, i giggled like a middle schooler through this entire thing and i have no regrets.

i’m a freezer girl myself. i grew up with my mom calling it ‘the bread graveyard,’ so, makes sense to me.

i love doing this with past-its-prime cereal, too. honey nut cheerios that have gotten a bit stale but are still otherwise good are perfect for a gluten-free pie crust if you’ve got someone with sensitivities. heck this summer i got funky and made one of out of lucky charms for a banana pudding pie and it was…

man, i mentioned this in the ‘what food would bring you back from the dead’ post a few days ago, but an italian sandwich from amato’s is one of the things i miss most now that i’m stuck in the southwest. that being said, the lobster roll is obviously their iconic sandwich and they need to roll with it. pun goddamn…

my bff used to live in maine and i used to live in virginia and whenever i would visit, we would get sandwiches from amato’s. i love them dearly and miss them now that i’m in the southwest and i will fight you that they have anything to do with a garbage sandwich from subway. boooooooo. just kidding i don’t wanna…

i knew my previous relationship was coming to an end when i was much more interested in doing the dishes or cleaning the bathroom than doing anything in bed or anywhere else for that matter. at this rate i should have ten lifetimes free of scrubbing dishes, but unfortunately i lack a dishwasher, so, meh.

i love how so many of these answers about bringing us back from the dead require bringing food back from the dead. seems fitting. those pb crisps were so good too, damn.

give me a bowl of my mom’s minestrone soup, a plate of spare ribs from the chinese restaurant i grew up eating at, an italian sandwich from amato’s in portland maine, and a fancy fluted glass of chocolate mousse, and i’ll think about it.

....very true. that cake looked freaking delicious and made me miss the time i spent as a child in europe. i took good baked goods for granted as a wee child.

how much time and gas money did he have to spend going to six flags for his two meals every day? that seems like far more trouble than it’s worth.

when my ex husband found out he was gluten intolerant, it hurt his poor skinny-ass candy-shoveling soul, but we found that there are quite a few gluten free options out there. regular reese’s cups are fine, as are regular snickers, milky ways, baby ruths, three musketeers, and a lot of other standard candy bars. the…

no mention of freya? aw. i rather liked her and will be sorry to lose the horse girl vegan vocal fry portion of my week. but ugh, when paul was anglo-splaining german yeasted cakes to jurgen, i cringed.

ahhhh, that is so cute! i love it the friendship and the tattoos. 

i mean, black forest cake is delicious though. tbh they both sound equally good to me right now.

a year later and i’m still mad that hermine got the axe when she did. boooooo.

according to a very lazy googlin’, there are 200 calories, 38 grams of carbs and 16 grams of sugar in one strawberry pop tart. anybody who’s mad that it doesn’t contain real strawberries in lieu of cheaper, less healthy filler is one sandwich short of a picnic. a little debbie strawberry shortcake roll only has 2 more…
