Food Science

    You can argue with me, but you can't argue with Science.

Chocolate Hobnobs

    Chocolate Hobnobs are mentioned in a book I'm reading, and while I could suss out that they were some sort of sweets, I frankly have never heard of them.

    Apparently, they're made in, and quite popular in England.  So why haven't they been exported to us Yanks?

Mayochup

    Must.  Find.  This.

History Thursday

    Strange.  Very bizarre.

Pancakes and Sausage

    Well, this is just so wrong.   Hmmm.  But on second thought... 

Macaroni and Cheese

    Full disclosure.  Once upon a time, as a child, I did indeed eat mac-&-cheese this way.  Especially if the mac-&-cheese wasn't very "cheesy".

  And yes, pineapple DOES belong on pizza.

Liver

   As a kid, I hated it when we had liver for dinner.  Liz feels the same way.  So it is never served in our house  Why eat a cesspool for supper?

Taco Tuesdays!

    I frickin' love Taco Tuesdays!

Fortune Cookie Editors

Food Fantasy

    Truth be told, this is photoshopped.  But wouldn't it be great if Nabisco really made some of these?

Pot Brownies

   Okay, the truth.  I did put laxatives in one of my sandwiches at work once.  But it was to catch a coworker on the night shift who kept stealing everybody's uneaten lunches.  My ploy didn't work.  The sandwich got too soggy, and he knew t avoid it.

    Also, the wife of one of my coworkers once sneaked some pot into his lunch-dessert brownies, unbeknownst to him.  Which made for a most interesting afternoon shift.

Kale

    Kale,  Yuck.  But maybe I haven't been eating it the right way.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve

    They may be overdoing it with all the "Pumpkin Spice" variations this year.  But I don't mind.

In Praise of Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I have nothing against Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.  They're my wife's favorite kind.  And I'll eat them as well.

    If there aren't any Chocolate Chip cookies to be had.

Celery

Bananas!

Diet Water

    If I could swim in a pool of it, the flab would just wash away.

15-Cent Hamburgers

    How old am I?  I'm so old, I remember 15-cent hamburgers at one of these joints.

   Yes, the 15-cent hamburgers at Carrols were  wretchedly small, on a plain bun, and without cheese.  IIRC you added your toppings yourself.  Our local Carrols was about 2 blocks from our High School, and was the first "food" place you ran into when walking home from school in that direction.  So guess who was their target audience?

    They relied heavily on teenage employees, who of course had to wear a Carrols uniform and a stupid-looking paper hat.  But you'd best not laugh at them openly, or they'd spit in your milkshake while making it.

    Wikipedia says the chain was eventually bought out by Burger King, who in turn sold the name to a Finnish group, who in turn just recently relegated the name to oblivion.  Thus, another small bit of Americana is buried without a trace.
