Poor Dora the Explorer Cake

Saw this birthday cake in the window of a Mexican bakery on Grand St in Brooklyn today. I think it scared Rusty.

Northside Karaoke Van

Janet’s birthday at the Woods –I got a pork burrito from the taco cart in their backyard patio. I likee a lot. Nice grilled shell …just like Taco Bell’s Grilled Stuffed Burrito I’m just now realizing. For some reason I took a bunch of photos of someone’s broken phone.

Ended the night with Luisa and the Karaoke Van from Northside car service. Jody had just taken it there and his mind was blown. So we had to get it home or else I couldn’t food blog about the burrito. I apologize for my singing. My memory says I rocked it, but my camera says, “NOT!” …remember “NOT!”?

This other video on Youtube, Luisa is rockin the reverb.

Malcolm Gladwell on Spaghetti Sauce

This is a great video of pop-sociologist Malcolm Gladwell at TED. I feel like I just learned a lesson in the food industry, choices and life. I suppose a White Castle Jalapeño Cheeseburger slider can be just as enjoyable as Minetta Tavern’s Black Label Burger. I wasn’t necessarily wrong.

Dinner Conversation Cards

I’m not done with writing about Omaha Steaks. A pack of dinner conversation cards came with the frozen food. I pulled one out that asked, “What’s the best Superbowl commercial ever?” I flipped over the card, thinking it was the answer. “Baseball or football?” I guess that’s what I would say.

Every Burger Chocolate Biscuits

Got these tiny cheeseburger-shaped chocolate biscuit/cookies at Jasmart. Taste like sesame cookies with chocolate …duh. But what if it did taste like a cheeseburger?

Cinnabon Lip Balm

I didn’t see a price on this Cinnabon Lip Balm from Lotta Luv, but it rang up at 59cents at my Duane Reade. They had other flavors like Tootsie Roll, Twinkies and Dairy Queen. It doesn’t quite smell like Cinnabon, but it did make my leftover veggie stew taste sweet like I put a packet of Splenda on it.

Keep Mouth Shut Fortune Cookie

Bonnie got this whack fortune cookie with her Chinese food on Christmas day tradition. This is the first time I’ve heard of this Jewish tradition – Chinese food and a movie. From my understanding, it’s because Chinese restaurants are one of the few places open on Christmas. And you know how big business movie theaters are during this day. So it all makes sense. I know some people who could use this fortune, especially during the movie part.

Food Blog Rap

I got this in my inbox –a rap written for me and my food blog by two girls Matt and I met at the Brooklyn Meatup last week.

“food blogging gone horribly wrong”

hanging out wednesdays, gnawing on meat,
check out those chicks, don’t they look sweet?
shot down baby, ain’t no love connection.
that’s a-ight, girl, it’s good for the digestion.

cupcake’s got a kimchee dog, cabbage in her teeth,
scruffy’s swillin’ greyhounds, served to her by keith.
archie’s up in cupcake’s mug, sniffin’ for a kiss,
cupcake’s smacking gum, says “you want a piece of this?”

kimchee breath: melting that moustache
kimchee breath: smells worse than a fart
kimchee breath: why you do this to me, baby?
kimchee breath: girl, you’re breaking my heart.

-scruffy jill (and cupcake katie, by way of cc)
