My New Favorite

At the risk of being sued:

SELL YOUR STOCK IN CAMPFIRES!!!! I JUST INVENTED BROILER S'MORES!!!


Just kidding. I didn't invent them. The person who originally made the above statement didn't even invent them, I'm pretty sure. Let me check Google.

Aaaaaand no he did not.

I'm sorry. I just lied. I made that up about checking Google. But I happened to have done some non-campfire s'mores making research for my mom in January and recall coming across a lot of people suggesting broilers. But there aren't ovens in most 6th grade classrooms, so I think mom went for a microwave.

That's not even my point. I think I used that beginning to segue into my discussion about how finding new favorite things is a lot of fun. I found my newest obsession while hanging out with a particularly interesting fellow. He introduced me to the idea of taking crescent rolls and smearing the insides with Nutella, then rolling them up and baking them so they end up as a kind of pain au chocolat, but much cheaper and much better.

It's like a cheap version of croissants. KWA-sohnt. And wa-NI-yah. Those are for Amy who is saying these words in her head like this all the time. And she has infected me. And I can't wait for her to move close enough to infect me on a more regular basis. That sounds dirty.

I should go to bed. But I think tomorrow I'll make more Poor Man's Pain au Chocolat. My new favorite.

Mom's Famous Tacos

Well, I was hungry tonight so I made my mom's famous tacos. Well, they're famous to me because I used to eat them as a kid and I loved them! I described them to a friend one time and it was pointed out to me that what I eat is nothing more than a cheeseburger on a tortilla. Which is kinda funny, because I don't really like cheeseburgers.

The tacos consist of ground beef (What do you call a cow with no legs?), shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and ketchup.

Shocking, I know. Rachel likes bland food and ketchup. But you know, you like what you like. And I like giant tacos that taste strongly of onion and ketchup.


Also, right now I'm watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Awesome!
