The Foodie Review: Week Ending 11/13/2020



aka Carbs Glorious Carbs

A week or so ago I was up early for work or perhaps it was my day off...either way I stumbled upon Good Morning America which I rarely if ever watch. Just not a morning show person, hell I'm not a morning person. However this show featured some pretty awesome STEALS AND DEALS (apparently they do this often); and there was one deal that I could not resist. 

Having moved to the South in 2001, I frequently miss some of the flavors and sensibilities of my northern upbringing. Growing up in Pennsylvania just 75 minutes outside of New York City gave you such a perspective on food and flavors and thankfully Mom and Pop culinary delights often found everywhere you go up there. I also grew up with a fondness for BREAD. You know, crusty on the outside soft on the inside goodness? You know, slather it with butter goodness? B-R-E-A-D. The thing that as we age we're not supposed to eat because it turns us doughy. Oh well, when they aired this deal I was in...hook, line and no thinker.

Bread Basket: Assorted Bread Baskets
GMA Deal: $22.50 • 50% Savings
Bread Basket has a passion for bread and the relationships they have built with New York City’s finest bakeries by delivering their breads to the most discerning chefs and best grocers for over 30 years. With the uncertainty of current times, Bread Basket felt compelled to help these incredible artisans bring their delicious products to you and find new ways to stay in business altogether. There are four fresh bread baskets to choose from including New York (sourdough, everything seed twists, brioche buns, mini black & white cookies); Holiday (stencil bread, pumpkin cranberry loaf cake, brioche cheddar rolls, chocolate chip almond biscotti); Party (country bread, parker house rolls, funfetti cake, tortillas 7" flour); and Comfort (pizza bianca, cranberry pecan rolls, brioche dinner rolls with black and white seeds, mini belgian waffles). Overnight shipping ranges from $9 to $19, depending on location.



How can you not want this? I mean obviously if you have gluten intolerance or you're on keto I apologize, but I knew I had to order it, and of course given where I've grown up I chose the New Yorkers Basket and today it arrived!


We've already noshed on the Everything Twists (with a schmear of cream cheese delight), and had a black and white cookie. Both of which were just fun glucose elevating and carb crashing soon after wonderfulness. Plus if you're considering taking a dive into this delivery option/purchase I say it's worth it especially if you're craving flavors you cannot get at your local grocery or otherwise.

Best Picture A-Z Challenge: "A"

Today I started one of my few artistic/pop-culture challenges for myself of the new year. I'm calling it the Best Picture A-Z Challenge: watch an Academy Award Best Picture Winner for each letter of the alphabet plus a numerical entry. Oh and add in one catch...it has to be a film that I have NOT yet seen. So I build my list and then if there's more than one choice I offer up a vote to suggest which one to watch.  This first challenge is the letter A and so here were my choices: AND after the votes were in, my "A" challenge became to watch: 1960 ‧ Romance/Comedy ‧ 2h 5m Insurance worker C.C. Baxter (Jack Lemmon) lends his Upper West Side apartment to company bosses to use for extramarital affairs. When his manager Mr. Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray) begins using Baxter's apartment in exchange for promoting him, Baxter is disappointed to learn that Sheldrake's mistress i s Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine), the elevator girl at work whom Baxter is interested in himsel...

BOXING in the KITCHEN: Hello Fresh!

OUR FIRST MONTH OF BOXING IN THE KITCHEN: Boxed dinners that is provided by various great options and we have paid for our boxes so these responses and reviews are completely our own and not compensated by anyone; and with that - here we go! THE COOK'S EXPERIENCE (ERIK'S SIDE/HE SAID) When my significant other suggested that we try cooking at home, I was really excited. I was thinking to myself, now I can show off my culinary skills and introduce her to the cooking of my childhood. She suggested that we try the box subscription, Hello Fresh and immediately I could hear my mother in the background of my brain saying, "I taught you how to cook, you're better than that." From a cook's perspective, I really enjoyed cooking the Hello Fresh kits. They came neatly prepared and ready to go. The instructions were so simple, it didn't take a lot of time to prepare them. I get off of work at 5:30 pm so by the time I get home and take the fur kids out for a little bit...
