You ever get in one of the modes where you eat the same snack for days and days and weeks?
That is what's happening with me right now with Planters Chocolate-Covered Cashews. They come in cans now (the bags vanished several months ago). They're big cashews, and the chocolate is delicious too. I have no scientific proof to back this up, but it seems to me that when companies cover their nuts with chocolate, they seem to use bigger nuts. It's especially noticable with whole cashews. Maybe they just seem bigger because they are covered with chocolate, I'm not sure. I just know I'm going through whole cans in one sitting while watching television or reading.
When you think about wedding cakes, chances are that you envision a tall, elegant dessert. It has sleek sides
and might be adorned with splashes of sugar roses and pounds of buttercream frosting. Even if the cake is simple,
ungarnished with excesses of sugar sculpture and fondant shapes, a wedding cake will always be elegant.
Not all school lunch options are created equal. Schools have dietary and budgetary guidelines to go by,
but giving students the freedom of choice in choosing what they eat is not something that the guidelines can always
take into account. My junior high school, for example, sold churros for 50(cents) and you can bet that many students
were eating those fried sticks of cinnamon and sugar goodness at least a few times a week. I highly doubt that whatever
nutritional standards the “taco casserole” was made to even considered the possibility that the meal would
be augmented with a churro and a bag of Doritos. Parents generally only thought about their kids’ school lunches
when they were asked for money on the ride to school and had no control over what the kids purchased with that money.
Fortunately for parents who worry about their child’s health and waistline more than they used to, this
isn’t the case anymore.
If ever you've torn open a bag of Doritos, or dived into a
