OBVIOUSLY I had to try them. Take a moment to think about how roasted chicken flavor chips might taste…. In fact, they’re pretty gross. But they do grow on you..

A trio of foodie tidbits…

I found the liner notes for Cypress Hill’s Black Sunday in Restaurant Gundeldinger-Casino. Pretty random. Wish I took a picture of it, laying there on top of the booth. I didn’t actually keep it, either, so if it’s yours and you want it back, you better hope it’s still there…

Nothing beats a great slice of pie after a great meal. And after pie? More pie, of course. Tonight there was plenty of pie to go around. Homemade pumpkin and pecan topped with whipped cream.

Prune is weird too but grape is actually pretty good. ...
