Funny how rainbow jello is old fashioned, but for awhile everyone was making those layer cakes where when you cut into them they had different colours stacked on them. The two desserts probably taste about the same, are the same to prepare (easy but time consuming) but the jello looks cooler. 

Yeah, the idea that her mom broke it out frequently took me aback. Rainbow jell-o was the kind of thing you waited to show up at a church potluck because your mom made it once and realized it was more time than it was worth.

Exactly.

Unsurprising because most people are boring, but c’mon, chocolate chips are every day cookies.   Holiday cookies should be special, which is why snowballs and elaborately decorated sugar cookies always come to mind first for me.  

The food and the craftspeople make it sound like country ren faire. 

The French Laundry could counter by opening a drive through.

The ‘history’ here is that the old Coconut Grove Club fire (and the molasses flood before that) eventually turned the Boston area government into real hard-asses about health & building safety. I know from first-hand experience. The locals joke that if you applied for a liquor and restaurant license with a top-secret…

Can we please stop giving this douche bandwidth?

Funny - for me the canned tuna was the deal-breaker.

The species of fish classed as “tuna” are not small. Skipjack comes closest, at a meter and ten kilograms, but albacore is twice that. Not only are the fisheries in trouble, the species themselves aren’t doing so hot. Albacore’s been “near threatened” since 2011, and two bluefins and a bigeye range from “vulnerable”…

Trump collapsing during the debates is my fervent wish. 

OK, so your ginger ale attempt was sorely lacking in the “correct drink choice” department. The correct choice is Vernor’s which is a Michigan staple and more of a ginger cream soda if we’re being honest. The drink even has a name. It’s called a Boston Cooler. And it’s great.

Stout. Float. Any kind of stout. Coffee stout? Float. Chocolate stout? Float. Milk stout? Float.

My favorite brewery. Had my bachelor party there!

This sounds like a really gross podcast. Glad to know I can give it a miss.

While I think Marnie has the better overall selection of foods, I have to give this one to Aimee with the ubiquitous one-two punch of hot dogs and peanuts. Nothing screams baseball to me more than those two snacks. That said, Marnie would absolutely be my wing-woman if we were going to a county fair.

+1, hot dogs are the only acceptable sandwich to eat at a ball game.  Primanti’s can fuck right off.

It didn’t matter what anyone else picked, hot dogs and garlic fries get Aimee the win flat out.

this is exactly it. if you really want to order delivery, find one of the zillion chain options that have already nickel-and-dimed their way to their position anyway. they won’t feel it half as much as a real-person owned business.

My arms are full of stars to throw at you, they only let me give one but you should get all for that reference!
