I have never laughed out loud at food before. Not even if the banana was just the peel and there was a clown slipping on it, would this be funnier.
Here. Have some HamBananas. BRUNCH.
Ham and Bananas Hollandaise. Just like mom used to make.
It’s supposed to be 80 degrees tomorrow.
I’m pretty sure that means chores will keep for another day..
First Twilight, now The Hunger Games — modern YA books and the cloud of phenomena they stir bear absolutely no resemblance to spinning the paperback carousel in the “Teen” section of the library in the Ye Olden Eighties.
I have read both of these books, probably more than once. Back in the day, All That Glitters weren’t no vampire.

The closest I remember to a clamor is trading Sweet Valley High titles or finding out there was another addition to the Kobie series.
Want to trip down YA memory lane? This collection of titles, descriptions, COVERS is remarkably good.

And so of course, where there’s a fuss, there’s me four years later. This is up next — as soon as I finish my Marco Pierre White memoir, and get over wanting to be called an “enfant terrible.”
In no way is this an opportunity to remind the world again that the Bro went through a phase where he wouldn’t leave the house unless he was wearing his full cowboy outfit, complete with eyeliner whiskers.
He looked almost entirely like this.
Aw.
Having popcorn out of Frank’s Special Football Popcorn Bowl, counts.
You can have your Super Bowl. This is mine.
Times Square, New York City.
1985 and 2011. Whether “then” is grittier, might depend on your definition.
The first football helmet was worn (1893) AND instant replay was first used (1963) at an Army-Navy game.
For all your Continental and Ivy League suit needs.
It’s like staring at two eras, destined for extinction but not yet. One clinging for life, leashing itself to a seemingly more viable host, hoping to hang on for just a little while longer.
It’s an instant snapshot of future fate from the past. An eclipse yet to come.
Also, Sporty Spice. That is all.
Spice Girls Polaroid camera. But why?
Much like I don’t like books or movies the first time through, food is always better in reprise, too. If toast is my favorite food, “leftovers” is my second favorite.
(I managed to cook the whole shebang without consulting the internet OR the momternet. Weird. This surely must be a milestone of Butterball proportions.)
“Give It Style. Leftovers can Taste Good and Look Good.” 1941 - 1945
Item from the Office of Government Reports, 1932 - 1947.
