I moved to Texas a few years back and definitely don’t get the love for Whataburger. They’re...fine. Not great. The patty melt is pretty solid (and my go-to if I’m eating there, which I don’t often!).

I don’t understand any of this, but I also haven’t eaten at McDonalds in a while (I do crave it now and again, trust me!) and I don’t have or care for collectible things.  So...this kind of thing baffles me.  I suppose there are those who are into it though...takes all kinds I guess?

Peri-peri sauce is great. It made me so happy when my grocery store started carrying Nando’s sauce. It goes great with my chicken/spinach/cheese wraps that I often make for lunch. I get the medium version, and this is the one time when the medium version of something actually packs a modicum of punch!

Did not know ‘happiness’ was underrated. I remember the first time I heard it, listening to her new album on my headphones as I sat on my local coffeeshop porch under the overhang, rain pouring down and getting me slightly wet. And as I let ‘happiness’ unfurl, I stopped doing anything else but soak it in. It hit hard…

That $28 is kinda ridiculous. For two people, MAYBE. For one? That’s eating for two days!

Not sure I’ll say it’s a great show, but it’s definitely better than any Star Wars media I’ve seen in quite some time. And I’m certainly enjoying it far more than Rings of Power! I’m genuinely excited to watch each new episode and really luxuriating in the slow build, well-crafted character building and engaging…

Not every day, no!  But working from home does have its benefits, one of them being it’s pretty easy to chop a bunch of stuff up and throw it in a pot and let it cook for a while.  Truly one of the things I love most about working from home...

I very much understand this is a ranking of canned chili and so I shouldn’t be saying this here but...unless in emergency need-food situation, please just make your own chili? You can make a half-decent chili in 2-3 hours (most of that being hands-off time). Yes, more expensive and time-consuming but canned chili just…

Yeah, that’s kinda what I figured.  Whenever I order from my local taco shop and am ordering 50 tacos (for work!!), I always let him know up front, “Hey I’m going to be ordering quite a few here.”  It’s helpful just to set expectations, right?

With olives on top!?

I haven’t played Madden in a while (a long while haha), but when I did, only really played it for the Franchise mode. always loved making my chosen team (Washington - they’ve been bad for so long...) into a perennial Super Bowl contender. 2002 was first version I played and I remember it being good. 2005 though - that…

Jim’s is where it’s at.  Craving one now

I can testify that I’m one of the pandemic converts. Working from home, needing lunch and there’s a Jersey Mikes right down the road. Was surprised how good they were - #13, Mike’s way - simply beautiful. I have never had the cherry pepper relish though so apparently need to try that as well!

I have never understood the aversion to cheese with apple pie. And that comes from someone who has never tried it myself! Growing up (parents Midwesterners), we always had apple pie either by itself or with ice cream. My dad makes a killer apple pie!

I don’t think I have a “favourite” pasta shape, because there’s so many good ones (depending on the dish/sauce!), but I confess I haven’t really given rigatoni a fair shake. I almost never buy it. Looking at that picture though, I think I need to try rigatoni next time I make a vodka sauce.

I wonder what it would taste like without the doritos. I’m not necessarily against chips on a sandwich, but I feel the taste is going to be overwhelming on this one.

True that. Ever want to start up a discussion with someone in Texas, ask them for their go-to breakfast taco place. I’ve had endless discussions on the key differentiators in a breakfast taco and what’s most important. (three pillars of breakfast tacos - 1) tortillas, 2) fillings, 3) sauce/salsa. Any good taco better…

Haha!  I will remember being annoyed whenever I listened to Halo2 soundtrack and skipping these tracks...

Yes

I was very confused when I moved over to the UK for a few years and first heard the term “spag bol”. Wait, what’s that? Oh just your standard tomato meat sauce? Ok, cool. Very much one of the most common meals over there, at least if my friends were a decent sampling approximation. The Brits have done just as good a…
