After getting one to try before they go away, I would really prefer a tostada (ALSO GONE NOW kthx) to this thing. Well, maybe if I’d asked for beans instead of the nasty meat it would have hit better. Personally I think that the shredded chicken that’s also going away would have been great filling!

You can now get those mini marshmallows by themselves in a small cylinder perfect for dispensing as topping on any hot drink of your choice. They should be next to the cocoa in your average grocery store.

Very good point. With McD’s if they get overwhelmed they tend to rush the potato products through the fryer quickly. I’ve definitely gotten soggy, undercooked ones before. With Arby’s, they usually drop the potato cakes into the fryer as you order them and they don’t usually rush it.

Great now I want some.

FYI they usually sell it in jars around Christmas.

I bought a jar of horsey sauce one year when they were selling it at Christmas, and then forgot it was in the cupboard until about 6 months past the use date.

Honestly they balance the meat and other fillings in their Reuben sandwich really well and the meat is more flavorful than most places offering. I would definitely put their corned beef on the shopping list.

However, Manic Otti, I think the point is you can get a pound of luncheon meat in a safe drive through instead…

Their potato cakes are excellent. They are basically 110% thickness McDonald’s hash brown patties.

Well the other night I suddenly realized it’s been more than 6 months since I had a donut. My favorite family owned donut factory has a drive through and pre-pandemic was 24/7 except major holidays. (Imagine... 3am and you ask for a cinnamon roll and the response is ‘just a sec, we’re icing them now’). Anyway they…

Ok I just ran out and got a Mexican pizza and some shredded chicken quesadillas before I forget and they’re gone. The pizza was bad, I may make a garden salad tomorrow and chop up the leftovers and top the salad with it. The ‘dias will be sorely missed. 

OMG NO not the shredded chicken mini quesadilla??? That’s MY 7 layer burrito! The spicy sauce blend is PERFECT for clearing out my sinuses its my total guilty pleasure.

Awful. It would be nice if corporate instead incentivized getting food access into underserved areas by reducing franchise fees and providing useful support instead of this “gotcha” screwery.

The idea about splitting the wireless networks is great. My work laptop has spotty connections and mediocre speeds to the router just 2 rooms away and I often wonder if it’s getting the slower band or not.  I don’t have the mental bandwidth to try any of this now but I hope to have the brainpower to try it in the…

I know whenever one of these “old food” snippets hit social media a lot of people wig out over them as if the effect is caused because they’re “nearly pure salt” or otherwise “loaded with chemical preservatives.” It’s nothing so complicated. The food just dried out before it rotted. You take any thin hamburger patty…

I’ve never actually made traditional Mac & Cheese from scratch. It just never felt like it was worth the time though it’s on my bucket list of things to try cooking. I usually do go with Kraft but until the pandemic only had it once in a while anymore. Recently I’ve been having it maybe once a week because I’m 1) feeli…

Interesting. I’ve been in a situation without a car for a few months and the DG across the street from my apartment complex was a big help. Just getting milk, and some lunchmeat and some canned goods let me eeke by until I got a lift to the real grocery store from friends. Someone tried to put a produce stand into…

I try to mitigate this effect by putting some amount of chips on a plate/bowl and putting the bag away before eating any. It’s a little helpful.

And it’s not just salt, sugar, and fat we’re dealing with. Look at the ingredients in Doritos - there’s MSG as well, so the umami/savory taste bud is being kicked. And did you…

Get rid of? Ok now I’m picturing a Desperate Housewives esque murder plot run by several Mafia Wives trying to get their dumb kids into a choice school. 

You’re doing it right. : )

I think we can all agree that there are a loose set of rules for pasta salad: No mayo (that’s a macaroni salad), some sort of oil and vinegar, short noodles only (nobody wants to slurp up cold linguine off a paper plate),

Interesting... I think texture can also be an issue, I know my cat prefers certain blankets to sit on. But interestingly, going along with the box idea... I have an old wingback chair in the bedroom for dressing and TV watching. After I got my cat a new shaggy throw to lounge on, and he definitely enjoyed it, one day…
