I wish I had taken a photo of the delicious popcorn I took down during today's 12:10 showing of
Road Chip (a surprisingly watchable film), but my fingers were too covered in butter to reach for my phone. I paid for this pleasure with the inevitable popcorn hangover feeling wherein your stomach feels empty and queasily full at the same time.
Here are some of the culinary moments that I did photograph this holiday season.
I purchased these specialty Frito's at a gas station in Northwest Indiana on the way back to Chicagoland after Thanksgiving. They were okay, but I doubt that I'll buy them again. Note that it is not a single-serve bag.
These are the Bacon Fondue Fries from Wendy's. I treated myself to these (for the bargain price of $2.49) after a lunchless day spent crawling in traffic on North Avenue in an attempt to obtain twelve identical hooks between two different Menards. I think it would be excessive to eat these as a side for a burger, but as a stand alone snack/lunch replacement on a frustrating day, these fries hit the spot.
I decorated these cookies myself, NTB. Of course, I did so at a friend's house where she baked all the cookies in advance, provided all the decorating materials, and had a professional cookie lady on hand. But still, I decorated them. My kids were impressed!
A mom I know makes and sells these heavenly turtles. I bought two boxes at a Christmas shopping event with absolutely no intention of gifting them. I think my husband and I made the box last about two weeks. So, so, so, so good. (Also, please note my super cool vintage Christmas oilcloth tablecloth).
Driving from Chicagoland to Ohio the day after Christmas, we stopped for gas, snacks, and a break from the relentless rain. I'm not sure what possessed me, but I chose these chips. Every member of my family was disgusted either by the chips themselves or the very idea of them. I kind of liked them and their tangy zip (to borrow a phrase) but won't actively seek them out in the future.
