As a 70's child, this was my favorite too. I asked for this on every birthday. Haven't seen it in many years. At some point my favorite changed to chocolate w/chocolate. Now I'm wondering if that's just because yellow w/chocolate disappeared.

I feel like it's pretty common, but then again I am a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream fan, it feels like that is hard to find in comparison to yellow with chocolate icing.

Sorry for the lighting, but I made devil's food cupcakes with a sugar cookie at the bottom for the kids for tomorrow.





I am dreading what I have to cook for the next five days.

Got out the Stir Crazy and made popcorn for dinner. Chocolate mouse pie for dessert.



I did a crappy job of cutting it, but it's pretty tasty.

If you want to fancy up that popcorn dinner (for guests or a special occasion lol) try this version. I have made it a few times using microwave popcorn and it is good. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/...recipe-1943704
I haven't tried it but have heard of Mexican popcorn where you add taco seasoning, lime juice, crushed fritos or tortilla chips and hot sauce. How bad could that be?

It is really good but you have to eat it right away....not as good after it sits around. Spicy, garlicky, cheesy---what's not to like?

I would be picking out the fritos and leaving the popcorn in this mix. Both good, but I know where I'd end up.
Funny you bring up Mexican though. We love Palo popcorn, out of Sheboygan Falls, WI. They sell some here in the Chicago area, but we have friends who bring us the flavors that aren't available here. It's not fresh and hot, but the most addictive snack ever. They brought us the Mexican Street Corn version a few weeks ago and it's the only flavor I won't seek out again.

Full disclosure, I've not tried the Ranch & White Cheddar yet. The rest are amazing.

I like the look of this. Is the tuna still rare? If so, I'm on the hunt for ninja sticks.

Does anyone else have this vision of gaobest just spending his days driving all over the Bay area from restaurant to restaurant? Or just me?
