Marzipan is a very close second and only because they use dark chocolate.,

An OKCupid guy made me hang up on him before we even met (which we never did.) I tried to politely end the call, he kept talking. I said “I have to go now” and he kept talking. Just hanging up was my only choice. I felt cruel at the time, but in retrospect he was 100% the asshole* and I dodged a bullet by not agreeing…

Almonds = awesome. So it’s just a given that almond paste + sugar = super duper awesome.

Well, I’m not a candy-ologist but I say if it’s chewy and gelatin-based, it’s probably a gummy. Haribo being a brand of gummy candy that probably doesn’t include Sour Patch Kids or Swedish fish.

I’m excited there’s a Team Marzipan. Everybody else I’ve ever met really hates it and I thought I was the only freak that likes it. I’ve even gotten weird looks buying it at Italian bakeries in Brooklyn.

I saw the movie at least 15 times in my 20s and I still managed to forget Sherlock was once Sick Boy.

I had to see the movie several times and read the book before I could decipher most of the dialogue. I have the same problem with northern England accents. Thank gods for closed captioning.

When some people criticized it as glamorizing drug use, I said “did we see the same movie?”

I watched this movie at least 15 times in my 20s. When they started publicizing this sequel, I asked myself “how the fuck did you forget that Sherlock was once Sick Boy?”

:( That sounds awful.

That’s the reaction I usually encounter when marzipan comes up.

I suspect they put heroin in blue food coloring.

I’ve done that with tubes of decorative icing. *hangs head in shame*

I bought all the ingredients once, then said “oh, fuck this” and made red marzipan cupcakes cut in half with jam in the middle. Just as good, way less hassle.

Yum.

I love those Italian rainbow cookies they sell at every grocery store in Brooklyn. I’ll often even pick off the chocolate because they’re basically little pieces of marzipan layer cake with some jam so fuck chocolate.

I would say something about master race chocolate being the best, but I’ve read (probably on a Gawker site) that it’s not that European chocolate is especially good. It’s that American chocolate is especially bad.

That’s Gawkerati for you. If I try to talk about my frustration over my inability to get a boyfriend, the consensus is that I’m trying to date out of my attractiveness league and need to get a grip because “like you’re Miranda Kerr!” (Not that I know who that is.) Yet when I mention I find attractive any man pictured,…

Codeine makes me puke. When I took it after having my wisdom teeth pulled, some vomit actually tried to sneak out through my nose and it was one of the worst things that ever happened to me. I’m not even exaggerating - it was terribly painful.

When I’m somewhere with a Cost Plus World Market, I’ll always stop just to get some Ritter Sport.
