Who in their right mind comes home from Xmas dinner and opens up a can of Heinz Spaghetti?!?!?!
That would be NOBODY. Because only a very insane person would do such a thing!!!
My excuse is temporary insanity and PTSD upon hearing that we didn't bring home any of my mom's stuffing to snack on, so then I ended up going to our Cupboards of Yuck.
This was the first time I've tasted Heinz Spaghetti, and, I thought I'd never say this:
On Sunday, Hairy and I had a bunch of peeps over for a holiday gift exchange and "food that looks like other food potluck."
I expanded on my meat cupcakes and made a full-on layered meatloaf cake with mashed potatoes! I decorated with little tomatoes and grated parmesan cheese.
Hairy made a pepperoni pizza, that was actually puff pastry, with raspeberry sauce and white icing, and he made the little pepperonis out of white chocolate and red food coloring.
I also wanted to make bacon and eggs sugar cookies, but we kinda ran out of time to make dough from scratch, so Hairy picked up some Pillsbury dough which sort of squished out during the baking process, but you get the idea and they were still tasty!
Esther and Oliver came with hamburger cookies!!! Check out the hand-cut christmas trees AND stars of david!
And Guapo made nachos!!!! He started by baking flour tortillas with cinamon and sugar, and then topping the chips with candied cherries, mini chocolate chips, grated fresh mango, and condensed milk. So crazy!
As for the outcome of the white elephant gift exchange.....I got some delicious retro-looking pepermint ribbon candy, and also PARTINI!!! We can be just like the cool kids in the commercial!
This video is pretty much self-explanatory, but one of my typical munchy faux pas is that I don't like to cut off servings of food (like cheese). I just like to eat bites off the giant thing (like PIE!!!!) and hope that nobody notices or minds......
I freakin love pie crust. My favorite pie would be the kind that you'd throw in somebody's face i.e. 100% pure whipped cream on a crust!
Sometimes I try to find chocolatey alternatives to cookies and brownies, and chocolate graham crackers usually fit the bill.
Tonight I tried to snack on some, and then I looked and saw that they were all covered in a mysterious white speckled substance! My instant reaction was, "I JUST ATE MOLD!!!!!" This is especially bad because I have some post-Thanksgiving Day doodoos to contend with today.
Hairy took a look and thought it might be flour, since every single graham cracker was speckled. Even the pack that was not yet opened had speckles in it.
So, ultimately, I'm not sure if it is mold, or if graham crackers are even able to mold, but now these suckas are in the trash bin, and I ate Gerber Graduates biter biscuits instead. MMMM!
I've been down at the office earlier than usual, and I clearly kind of panic over what to bring to eat.
Pictured:
Activia Yogurt: Seems kind of runny and thin. Nature Valley Oats n Honey granola bar: One of my fav bar-shaped foods! Fuji Apple: from our Spud.com order Ferrero Rocher: Fine Hazelnut chocolates from Hairy! I told him during a commercial that I was into horrible holiday chocolates, e.g. ALMOND ROCA!!!!!!!!!!
But now it's freezing in the office and I seem to be craving hot, oily, bad pizza a la Domino's.
This is my super silly Yucky Food blog! No culinary delights - just minor gustatory frights. No perty pictures or fancy kitchen kung-fu. Just crappy Photobooth snaps, short videos of food consumption, and one girl navigating her away around an empty (or just strange) cupboard. It all started cuz someone said, "You're eating what? Show me."
