I have no problem with the concept of using preservatives to keep food fresh. In fact, I find it strangely amazing that Twinkies can last forever, whereas a freshly-baked pound cake in your kitchen generally should NOT sit there for a year. I look forward to the day when we can do this with other [...]
I have nothing worthwhile to say today, but here I am, posting anyway! Is this exciting or what? I’m feeling much better than I was a couple days ago. Thank you, to those of you who posted well-wishes. Have you seen those Little Debbie “S’mores” yet? They’re new. I tried some but didn’t care for [...]
Yes, boys and girls, there is such a thing as Bacon-And-Egg ICE CREAM. Click HERE to read all about it. (Notice how it says the toast is OPTIONAL. Yeahh, wouldn’t want to have anything WEIRD there like toast, would we?) *** .
Back in 2001, I belonged to a mailing list called “Cocktail Central Daily”. It was a recipe list for mixed drinks. Here’s a little background for you, in case you don’t know me all that well. I love reading recipes and cookbooks, yet I hardly ever actually prepare the recipes. It’s more of an “oooh, [...]
This is the time of year that McDonald’s has their Shamrock Shakes. I like them, and usually I crave them, but this year has been different. I haven’t really wanted one. A couple weeks ago I had one small shamrock shake. That was enough to last me for another year, I think. *shrug*. They just [...]
It’s almost 4:00 in the afternoon, and all I’ve had to eat so far today is a bowl of Rice Krispies and a few Oreos. I’m not trying to starve, or anything; I just haven’t been in the mood to eat anything. Don’t worry; my waistline is still the size of the Hindenburg. You will [...]
I’ve noticed, after my last few trips to the store, that prunes are now being called “dried plums.” I guess they’re being re-named because plums sound juicy, fresh, and youthfully delicious, whereas prunes have acquired an unfortunate connotation with old, dried up things. Plus, they have a reputation for, um, speeding things up in the [...]
I’m a sucker for buffets. Ever hear the standup comedy of John Pinette? I’m kinda like that too. He loves buffets and has the most hilarious things to say about waiting in line. For example, there’s the fact that the line is frequently held up by slow skinny people who take forever trying to decide [...]
On my way back from ABC group tonight, I stopped at the gas station to get a bottle of water, because I knew I didn’t have any beverages left at home. My tap water is nasty, and I know better than to drink anything that comes out of my faucet. So I got my bottle [...]
