A restaurant in my area did a Titanic dinner menu back in 2012 to commemorate the centennial of the sinking. It was actually a really interesting experience in that this was pretty close to eating food from another era. Overall, the food was extremely rich and we were all groggy on the drive home because of it and Read more

I’ve brought my own stroopwafels on United flights Jan 13th, the hostess caught my humor of eating it when she went by and made an “Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, so sorry, I loved those too!” and handed me my meal and champagne.  Read more

What’s even the point of this program anymore? With every change, I go to Starbucks less. I used to go every day, now a couple of times a week at most. The coffees are nice but not so nice that I want to pay as much as they are without getting any sort of reward in return (which is what this is - spend $100 to get a Read more

I use brands like Magic Spoon and Catalina Crunch to get in quick and easy protein macros. If you combine 1-2 servings by weight of either with a Premiere Protein shake as a sub in for the “milk” you can get close to 50g of protein for pretty minimal calories. Read more

I was a fool and assumed these were lower calories than regular cereals, but they are not. In fact, they are higher calories than comparable, sugary cereals such as Froot Loops and Lucky Charms. The website purposefully (and deceitfully) puts forward the low carbs and higher proteins and buries the fat and calories Read more

Hello, I live in Michigan and have never even heard of Cupid Corn.   Read more

“Low cost fillers” - by that they mean grain? They make it sounds like General Mills uses sawdust and bone meal or something. Read more

I have a rule: Never buy anything I heard advertised on a podcast.

I’m not a big cereal person, but I tried their 4 pack variety set recently. My primary motivation was to see if it was nominally ok for not spiking my blood sugar, with type 2 diabetes. Read more

It seems no one ever remembers the supersized Oreo Big Stuf from the 80's and 90's. That was the ultimate Oreo and nothing will ever top it. Read more

That’s what I’m planning on when I remodel my kitchen and relocate the stove: a powered vent. To me, nothing heats up a wok as well as a gas appliance (why I wanted the vent in the first place). That and to have a backup when the power fails as pantrog mentioned.

Of note, Popeye’s will hook up a free pie on your bday (up to one week after) if you use their app Read more

My mom told me: Never go to a restaurant on New Year’s Eve or Valentine’s Day, because the restaurant will be overcrowded and the food will be expensive but mediocre. My high school BF took me out for NYE, and her advice was spot on. We were seated at one of the many small 2-tops they shoehorned into the space to Read more

I actually kinda wish Coke Starlight stuck around. It was something appreciably different from other flavors I could find locally and I enjoyed it. Read more

I was pleasantly surprised when the one near me opened several years ago. Has a separate entrance from the store, also opens into the store, but the bar truly feels like a separate space, totally unlike the header pick. It has a dark wood, cabin feel, nice bar, more dimly lit atmosphere. Not the bright sitting at a Read more

Hunter Fieri might be okay on his own, but he is going to need to work his tail off to develop his own personality and get out of that solar totality of a shadow his father is throwing. Read more

Every time Hunter comes on screen my family all yells “FREDO”.  I’m sure he’s a great person with a lot going on, but TV shouldn’t be one of them.  I hope he finds his way out there. Read more
