The bakery I work in offers gluten free things, but we always add the disclaimer (as we do when people ask us about nuts or other allergens) that we don’t bake in a virgin environment and that, while we do our best to avoid cross-contamination, we can’t guarantee a 100% allergen/gluten-free product. We will even…

When Mama Spatulahands got cancer, she has been on the workout kick of her life for the previous few years, trying to lose weight and get generally healthier (yeah...don’t even say it..). Between surgery and chemo, the running joke in our family was “I know you wanted to lose weight, but this is an extreme method!”

Adultosaur: the adultiest of adults on kinja.

Finally, someone else who calls it bags! I didn’t even know it was called anything else for most of my life.

A fellow Hyde Parkian!? I miss my old neighborhood so much!

Was definitely picturing this place in my head when reading the story...

I found most of them pretty easily last year. Someone’s PO box is getting stuffed with as many sandwich-chips as can be found. Preferably shipped in a monogrammed thermos.

I aims to please! Hopefully no one took (too much) offense at my sacrilegious ways ;)

Our Pinkham in Kinja, hallowed be your name. Your thermosdome come, your steak be medium-rare, on Jezebel as in Kitchenette. Give us today our daily saved bread.

WHY DOESN’T THIS HAVE MORE STARS?

Fair enough! I am, indeed, a fellow sagehen.

I have to know, did you go to Pitzer? And if so, what year?

It’s ok, I polished off my Tillamook chocolate peanut butter, so I’m all good!

Speaking of, take a trip to Xoco for me?

I wish I knew how to quit you!

I thought I had found my soul mate and we could just eat phish food and chocolate peanut butter ice cream together for the rest of our inevitably heart-attack-shortened lives and then you had to ruin it all with that pineapple junk.

Probably, but it depends on what else you have available for doughnuts. If the other doughnuts in your area are Dunkin or Krispy Kreme (as much as I love the latter), Top Pot is worth the trip.

Do I get bonus points cause I can lick my elbow?
