Review: July 2005 Archives
- Peanut butter. Don’t listen to what everyone says about hydrogenated oils – sweet, creamy, supermarket-brand skippy is the way to go. I spent my first winter in Portland sitting on the basement stairs above the furnace, eating Fred Meyer peanut butter with a spoon. Wait, nobody was supposed to know that.
- 7-Up Plus. I was so anti at first, just because trying to market a soda as healthy – it has calcium and vitamin C! – is so totally dumb and absurd. But, you guys, it’s really good. It’s berry-licious. I am always kind of embarrassed to be caught drinking diet soda. That, and the hype about how it supposedly kills you, is what keeps me from buying it by the case at Safeway.
- Reser frozen burritos. The list of ingredients is as big as the burrito. It looks so pathetic all alone slapped on a plate. But it’s yummy and it does the job.
- Ice cream out of the carton. Especially if it’s a really big carton, like the Moosetracks ice cream my friend Elisabeth brought to dinner a couple weekends ago. When you’re alone, you can dig out all the peanut butter cups, and eat them.
- Hard-boiled eggs over the sink. It’s like the classy bachelor food (classy bachelorette version: deviled eggs over the sink). Yeah, with salt. Mmm. I could totally eat one right now.
- Cereal. When you’re a grownup, you can eat cereal five meals a day and no one cares. Even marshmallow treasures.
Okay, that was only six. Feel free to recommend suggestions.
