On the other hand, the new @reeses peanut butter cups with the potato chips inside is the best thing I’ve put in my mouth in a minute.

The only thing in this world more overrated than Oreos is Nutella. Fight me.

Why is no one talking about the fact that Jaqen Hagar is the Soviet prison guard in Stranger Things Season 4? Those eyes! That voice!

The forced and salesy Jurassic Park tie-in would’ve been fine (if a little cringey) as a @BravoTopChef Quick Fire. But it’s just offensive as the Elimination Challenge. What did it have to do with Houston? Nothing. And why was Joe Flamm even there? #topchef

Listen @BravoTopChef, do the schticky product placement thing for the Quickfire, not the Elimination Challenge. Devoting 1/3 of the episode to Houston’s expat Nigerian community and that cool guest chef was a disservice. #topchef

I’m about to rant about tonight’s @BravoTopChef so buckle up: did anyone else think the episode was completely backwards? #topchef

Parenting a kid who’s really into music means having to break the news to them WAY TOO OFTEN that an artist they love has died tragically. Today it’s Taylor Hawkins. Just grateful we saw the Foos live at Wrigley pre-pandemic. May his memory be a blessing.

Do you ever make Fig Hamantaschen for #Purim? Try buttery cookie dough enfolding mission fig jam. The final flourish is dipping them in chocolate with pistachios. Get the #hamantaschen recipe by @westoftheloop: bit.ly/3ps5iHg 📹by @feastingonfruit

Is trendy alternative “potato milk” what we Jews have been squeezing out of our latke batter this whole time?

I’m STILL seeing food bloggers & content creators call dishes things like “Crack Dip” because, supposedly it’s so good, it’s addictive. This is so outdated, insensitive and just plain lazy. Drug addiction and racism aren’t funny.

You know Omicron is bad because I just learned how to pronounce it.

Am I the only person who thinks “Home Alone” is a terrible, sadistic movie? Sure, Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are burglars. That doesn’t mean I want to watch them get hit in the face with paint cans for 2 hours.

Great Cyber Monday deal on this @KitchenAidUSA pasta roller attachment. I use mine all the time for pasta and dumpling dough: amazon.com/KitchenAid-KSM…

The absolute highlight of Patisserie Week on #GBBO was when Giuseppe, wearing the ugliest shirt I’ve ever seen, said he had to buy new clothes because he hadn’t enough. That was the shirt he bought?

Colin Kaepernick gets blackballed from the NFL for protesting a societal ill in a way that hurt exactly 0 people. Aaron Rodgers lied about his vaccination status, flouted league rules & exposed countless people to a deadly virus. Can’t wait to see the NFL’s response.
