1. NFL is sadly bending a knee to the king. Unfortunately “Choose Love” won't appease "IT" — one of "ITS" minions made an employee remove a desk sign that said "Be Kind to Somebody Today."

2. Super Bowl!! At our house it's always wings. If I'm feeling like it I'll make Italian hoagies — oil, vinegar and oregano — no mayo EVER!

1. Agree entirely; 2. NEVER mayo. EVER.

While I do think Choose Love is a better saying, it strikes me as odd that they say this and spend two plus hours bashing and chasing each other on the field.

I made it with kettle cooked potato chips and dark chocolate.

Wow!

It will not last long.

That sounds absolutely awesome. Yum.

No Super Bowl for me, not as long as that idiot is there, and the NFL had to "tone down" the message.

Super what? But yeah - anything with both chocolate and potato chips in it has to be good.

I’m sad. I wanted to watch because Taylor Swift is this 76 year old’s hero. I don’t really listen to her songs. I love her philanthropy. I’m boycotting because the felon will be there. I don’t want them to count me as a viewer so he can use it as hateful rhetoric.

There's plenty else to watch on TV!

Off topic, about your bedtime cookies…is there a substitute for cherries, frozen or otherwise?

Expand full comment

I would stick with dried fruit of some variety, whether craisins or golden raisins! Or: leave them out entirely and no one will be the wiser.

I found frozen and canned. Using the frozen today. Thanks!😊

Puppy Bowl is more entertaining at least to me! I’m partial to Jalen Hurts not the Orange oaf. That’s what the remote is for.

Puppy Bowl was great this year, esp the kitten halftime!

Hubs will be watchin. I might pop in on Kendrick at halftime, but otherwise I'll be in the kitchen makin eclairs. I attempted them for the first time a coupla weeks ago & all did NOT go according to plan. lol So hopefully tonight will be my redemption. 🤞🏽

Btw, Marissa, did you watch Our Flag Means Death? It's one of my all-time favorites. It's also a Taika show. I thought I would really love WWDITS, but sadly I did not. lol I just didn't connect with it the same way I did with OFMD (and I gave it nine episodes; I really tried! 😭)

If anyone's interested in the eclair recipe: https://preppykitchen.com/chocolate-eclairs/

I absolutely loved Our Flag Means Death. Have you ever seen "Hunt for the Wilderpeople"? Another great Taika watch. How did you like the Kendrick halftime?

girrrrl. i was obsessed with kendrick's show. like when i say obsessed, i'm talkin bout i rewatched it eleventy kintillion times on youtube, read fifty-seven breakdowns of the whole thang, and watched eighty three reaction vids. and that was just night one. i'm still processin it. 🤣 i knew we'd get some drake beef, but as soon as i saw his dancers flood outta that car wearin red/white/blue, i thought OH HE BOUTA POP OFF ON THIS ADMINISTRATIONNNN. and baybeeee, he did not disappoint. he ate. left nary a crumb. it was flawless. no symbolism was lost on me. and serena was icing on the cake. 🙌🏽

i haven't watched it but i've seen a lotta buzz on reddit about wilderpeople, so i'll definitely check it out. thanks for the recc!

Oh man! I want to make this! But all I have are choc chips! How 'bout Ritz Crackers and dark chocolate? But I can't serve them to anyone here - we're all on "No-sweets, No-cr_p, Mediterranean Diet only" food plan! What if I used lemon curd and Castlenuovo olives? 🤣

Expand full comment

If after baking the cookie brittle, and let it cool, then smeared lemon curd all over it. Ohhhh that would be good. The recipe will wait until you can once again dabble in sweets!

Expand full comment

I would love a recipe for an elegant Valentines Day cookie. It probably would need to involve chocolate!

The super bowl is over (I didn't watch it) but I think I need these cookies more than ever. Maybe I'll make them this weekend.

IT’S SUPER BLUNT SUNDAY

Trump’s crypto scam is $Trump meme coin. $.18 to $75, now $17. 31 accts gain $669M. 813k accts lose a total of $2B. Trump family transaction fees=$100M. Trump reduces crypto regs as OMB kills consumer financial watchdog!💸
