they really are

 

welp now I gotta acquire some of these over lunch

 

I feel like I’ve never heard anyone talk about these before and now suddenly, this season, they’re getting massive hype?

I’m seeing people praise them left and right. I’ve also been seeing a lot of Instagram recipe videos involving them too… What happened?

 

I'm gonna grab my annual box of cherry cordials when I go shopping this week

 

These were my go to

 

never even seen those before

 

Those look good. I love gingerbread

 

Whattt really? They were a childhood staple in my house lol. There never were enough, they'd last a day or two

They're nice and soft, too

 

yeah idk I just saw that Aldi was slinging them now but they’ve been around forever. Definitely a nostalgia thing

 

I'm 0 for 2 on dinner this week.

Defrosted the salmon wrong on Monday then waaaay over salted the pasta last night. It looked good though.

 

You're ahead of me, I didn't defrost anything today and we're supposed to get a foot of snow between now and this time tomorrow so I'm praying I can get to Walmart after work

 

First time I made this I fucked it up (didn't gradually stir back in retained starch water, making it too dry. Also used too much lemon, not enough garlic), I just made it again and did it the correct way, and goddamn this might be one of the best things I have ever made. Going on the regular rotation for sure.

1lb of linguini cooked to al dente
Retain 2 cups of pasta water
Strain linguini and put aside
Put pot to low-medium
Melt 8 tablespoon (1 stick) of unsalted butter with 5-7 minced garlic cloves
Once melted add in a bit of black pepper
then add in zest of 1 whole lemon
put pot on medium high
Add back in linguini with 1 cup of the retained pasta water while thoroughly tossing
Gradually keep adding back the other cup of pasta water 1 tablespoon at a time while continuing to toss
Turn pot off
Add in the lemon juice from zested lemon, parm, parsley, salt+pepper, and red pepper flakes and stir in

 

All the Christmas snack cakes are smaller and I hate it

 

Day 8 - Lemon, Elderflower - Did not like this one very much, kind of just artificial tasting all around, bad lemon flavor and the elderflower isn't doing much 4.5/10

Day 9 - Rhubarb Spice - Again not the punch you want from rhubarb, light muddy flavors, not unpleasant, but not a lot going on 5/10

Day 10 - Raspberry, Rose - Love this combo, you want to go light with rose, but I thought this could use a little more, nice bright, strong raspberry flavor with a texture 7.5/10

Fiancé got some scones so next round will be on those.

 

McCafe coffee is actually pretty good.

 

Rugelach is so damn good. I will not stop eating them if they're around. My aunt makes some bomb ones, I think learning was prerequisite for marrying into a Jewish family.

 

the Liquid Death tea is wretched btw

 

Not Jewish but have been wanting to try making Kugel because it is kinda simple and I want to see what dessert pasta tastes like

 

it's basically rice pudding you really just taste the cream cheese raisins and cinnamon

 

it's honestly fucked up how good Jingle Jangle is. I'm not even a big fan of chocolate but I could eat an entire tin of this easily

 

It's somehow greater than the sum of its parts.

 

Liquid Death's $75 'pit diaper' that lets you pee during concerts sells out in under 24 hours

 

More places should offer California Burritos as part of their standard menu.
