I’ve always loved the classic look of a bowl of apples, pears or lemons on a table or sideboard. But what I really want is something more unique, obviously, and something that you wouldn’t find anywhere else.
I have been searching high and low for the perfect filling for a simple glass ice bucket and I think these boysenberries and raspberries are just the ticket. It will take a ton to fill the whole bucket, but I think the dark red and blue will look rich and delicious!
I found this image over at
Design*Sponge and love it. I do however, have a few questions…:
1. Does the lobster fork actually count as a fork? Looks more like a lobster pick.
2. What if you have fruit for lunch? Which fork do you use? Same question goes for having fruit for desert…I am having a fork freak out!
3. Why even create an ice cream fork? What is the point? Is it just to make sure ice cream doesn’t feel left out from this outrageously absurd list of forks? Who eats ice cream with anything but a spoon or directly from a cone?
4. Don’t get me started on the fact that there is a pastry fork. Let’s say you have a fruit filled pastry. Do you use two forks? Let’s now say the pastry is filled with strawberries and bananas. Do you now use three forks? The strawberry fork (see question 5), the fruit fork and the pastry fork? Seems like overkill to me, but no one ever said I was the queen of sophistication or a fork aficionado.
5. Strawberries get their own fork? Why? Strawberries are fruit, no? Why wouldn’t the fruit fork suffice? Why do they get special treatment? Or on the other hand, why are they being marginalized into their own category? Seems like the creator of this diagram might me a bit fruitist…
Last night, when I had taken enough sleeping pills to take a horse down, I was laying awake in bed munching on Chex Mix. This is a terrible habit, lecture unneeded, problem admitted. Moving forward.
This bag of
General Mills‘
Chex Mix really had me thinking. Clearly the star of the mix are the Chex cereal pieces. They are great, and super salty in the ‘Traditional’ flavor bag (the only kind ill eat). But someone, for god’s sake, please explain to me why the pretzels get second highest billing? The always taste stale, they have no salt and there are actually 2 varieties of pretzels in the bag (the’ o’s’ and the ‘windows’ as I like to call them).
Here is why I am so upset. There is a clear dark horse in this snack grab bag and I just don’t feel the delightful bagel chips (b.c. to make things easier) get the respect they deserve. Yes, there are two varieties of b.c, the pumpernickel and the plain, but still the ratio of b.c. to anything else in the bag is sadly low.
Then it struck me. If
Post can be smart enough to find the best part of their cereal
Honey Bunches of Oats, which is clearly the bunches, and make a cereal dedicated simply to their own deliciousness called
Just Bunches, why can’t Chex Mix do the same for the b.c.’s? They make boxes of just Chex cereal and someone makes both pretzels o’s and pretzel windows. I think it is time for the b.c., specifically the mini variety from the Chex Mix family, to get it’s chance to shine!
Call me General Mills!
Why can’t Jews be put in jail?
THEY EAT LOX!
Honestly, does it get better than a delicious bagel and lox?
