I think that’s a good pairing! I do think some seasoning on the cream cheese is important, so I’m interested to see what you make. Read more

I see my next post in my head now: “Nutritional Sausages: A recipe for the family classic.” Read more

Thanks for all the info! I’m surprised to hear that the anime fell off for kids, since I thought it was still so popular. But I did realize after your comment that all the ones I’ve seen advertised on Netflix are all the holy-crap-no-kids-should-be-watching-this kind. Times keep changing, huh? Read more

Hi, no - I was technically on my shift so whipping out my phone to take pics of all the food we had wasn’t ideal so I snapped what I could. The NYC style that isn’t pictured, is definitely a proper slice, if you look up Paulie Gee’s Slice Shop (in any location) that’s what we have. Recipe’s straight from Brooklyn. Read more

I am OBSESSED with it. John and I are buddies IRL. Maybe I should ask to borrow it from him just so I can say I’ve eaten electrocuted hot dogs for lunch... Read more

Clean-up was easy! The devices are very small and a quick scrubby sponge does the trick on the outside. There’s a tiny little tube on the inside (like a Windex bottle) that draws up liquid that just has to be flushed out with fresh or soapy water. Read more

I really like Nando’s! It’s kind of expensive for what it is, but grilled chicken is so underrated. I’m guessing this sandwich is also grilled chicken, yes? Read more

Hi guys, fixed it. The reason why I thought the final season wasn’t out yet was because we just watched season 4 and my brain shorted out and thought the last one was gonna be out way later. Apparently the world doesn’t revolve around me... Read more

Stuff gets stolen from our building all the time. Please feel free to camp out, I think the next thing I’m getting is a can of Pringles or something...but if whatever you take is delicious just leave a small piece of it on my front steps please!!! Read more

They sometimes use crab extract for seasoning, so you have to check the allergen list, unfortunately. I am pretty sure there’s brands that are crab free, though! Read more

Well, I’m Korean and we’ve eaten imitation crab for at least decades now so I’m assuming it’s enjoyed by a lot of Asia (but apparently not everyone). But it did originate in Japan and is a big thing there: Read more

Pollock is absolutely a fish you can enjoy as a fillet. I mentioned the Fillet-o-Fish, which is a whole piece of fish. Frozen fish products like whole battered fish fillets are also pollock a lot of time! I don’t know if I’ve seen the raw fillets in the seafood section, but I know you can definitely find it in many Read more

I checked the back of the bag I have in the freezer, bad news. There is crab in it (I think from the crab extract). It’s listed on the allergens. :( Read more

All noodles. Noodles don’t generally make good leftovers. It’s almost better if you portion out what you think you’ll want to eat and keep whatever’s left uncooked till later! Read more

This is super good to know. I did in fact get mildly twitchy about it because I didn’t realize the science was so good. I did make sure to double check with them specifically because I wanted absolutely to make sure it was going to cause issues for someone who might be interested after the review, you know? Read more
