i love new york



There are many things I like about out here, but I have to bemoan our lack of freely distributed, city-themed condoms.

Of course, on second thought, I have to wonder what awful marketing the state of Minnesota would come up with. If NYC can play up the subway-dot angle, Minnesota might have to turn to its local features, which means we'd end up with wrappers festooned with loons, corn, wild rice, and most disturbing, tater tot hotdish:

  2. lol!

    usually rob and i just bitch that the letters that spell "nyc condoms" are not the same color as the letters of the actual subway lines that they are imitating. the "m" should be shit brown, dammit! i know this because it runs outside my windows every ten minutes!

    also - do you want to know the real reason why i became attracted to cooking? because my mother, born and raised in minnesota, makes food the minnesotan way... the world of haute cuisine began for me the day i tasted her drowning-in-velveeta au gratin potatoes and thought, "there has to be something more than this!"

    however, i have to admit that tater tot hotdish piques my interest in a dirty, dirty way. can you recommend a recipe???

    and my word verification is "msexmzas." that's what i'll call tater tot hotdish from this day forth.

  3. I must look into this for you. The other day I had this big chunk of Velveeta left over (don't ask) and I made it into mac' and cheese and I want to say that I am pretty much a connoisseur of mac' and cheese and the Velveeta version kicked the ass of any previous cheddar-laden one I have ever made. The trick is, then, to use a little bit of whole grain mustard and however much Velveeta you have lying in the crisper drawer.
