Nobody cares about food.

Can anyone recommend a great food to snack or gorge on while watching the world burn down?

Chill a large crystal goblet. Rub lemon peel around the rim.

Add 1/2 gal. vodka ...

With a twist of bitter(nes)s.

My daughter has gotten me on this spinach kick, mostly mixed in omelets but also with a me sandwiches.

But man, we don't use hardly any of a bag before it goes bad, which feels wasteful, but the bag is like, $1.50 or something, so it feels, less wasteful?

You can blanch them really quick, the freeze, then add them to pasta sauce.

Spinach salads can be a really amazing thing, and a great way to use a bag of spinach.

With a warm dressing of bacon grease, shallots, garlic, and vinegar. Use the bacon grease to sweat the shallots and garlic. Season to taste. The object of the game is to wilt some of the spinach with the not-quite-hot dressing as you pour. Do I need to mention the bacon goes in the salad? Didn't think so.

Throw in mandarin orange slices or some berries for something slightly sweet against the grease.

Mom thought this was some sort of traditional Armenian dish, but I suspect that just means someone with an Armenian last name told her about it. Nevertheless, it was called Armenian Wilted Spinach Salad at our house and you are welcome to carry on what may be a misguided tradition.

Popcorn. Easy to make, bit of oil and a little butter in a pan with a lit, put it on like 3/4th heat, pop away

IDK, TACOs? There is a truck on every corner.

That is true. There's one nearby that makes an awesome chicken taco. And now I'm craving some!

That's some passive aggressive advertising you got going there, KFC.

Nah, too much at once. I'll stick to my regular "micro" dosing.

Yesterday at the store I saw a new flavor of Pringles, called "Grilled Beer Brat", so I bought a can, and today I tried them.

They're not the wurst.

Sigh. I remember way back when "Cobb salad" actually meant something, and not just "chicken bacon ranch salad with half a boiled egg on top". How far our culture has fallen.

Right? Used to be this perfect mix of textures and flavors, now it’s just ranch-soaked chicken and bacon thrown on lettuce. Feels like we’ve lost the art of actually crafting a salad.

Welcome to the "young whippersnappers and their newfangled crap" stage of life.

I had to look that up. Looks amazing, and wiki says it’s typically made with blue cheese (or blue cheese dressing which would really push it to the top for me, although other cheeses can also be used.


I think I’m going to make myself a Cobb salad this weekend.

Took me a while to understand she was saying “perinaise sauce”

A Peri-Peri sauce on your nan? Wouldn't it be difficult to get it out of her wrinkles?
