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.

Abandonment, Fear and Thanks

I woke up today very early. My significant other and I have a young puppy so that's part of the life at this time. Disturbed sleep. I woke up and just thought well, it's Thanksgiving, let's just be thankful today. I was in a good frame of mind. I had made the decision to just be present today as much as possible. But...in the wee small hours of the morning my always present depression and anxiety had other plans. I went to message a friend of mine. I connect a lot on Facebook so I went into messenger to just let her know I was thinking about her and I couldn't find her. At first I didn't worry, I figured that she and I were both struggling with the election stress and maybe she just went dark for a bit. I get that. I understand taking the mental health break if need be. Alas, she didn't just go dark.  Upon investigation I came to understand that I had a friend in real life that I care about deeply. I would try hard to check on her and send Erik over with various...

Why Do Adults Ghost Each Other?

I'm not sure I understand why we do this to each other...as adults. In so many ways, it feels like we are just grown ups who never outgrew high school.  I have been jealous of others and that jealousy has lead me at times to make moves to guard my own heart because I definitely have fomo (fear of missing out), anxiety, depression, abandonment issues and the feeling that no matter what I do, I will NEVER ever be good enough and in full honesty, I have been guilty of blocking people who have hurt me and people involved in certain things that trigger me because at times I have to look at certain parts of my life like they were addictions or toxic relationships.  I have to accept that no matter what, there are going to be a large and sometimes very visible/vocal group of people who rather than work through things with me person to person and come to an understanding or workable position would rather just make me out to be a bad person. Maybe I'm delusional thinking that I'm act...

The Foodie Review = Week Ending 09/26/20

FIRST TIME RECIPE ATTEMPTS FOR THIS WEEK: Cheesy Spinach Pesto Flatbread   *****out of 5 Stars! Ina Garten's Baked Shrimp Scampi    *****out of 5 Stars! I've decided to make this more of an open format blog adventure and not feel like I have to "fail" anything per se. So instead I'll focus on the week of culinary adventures in my household. First of all, the two recipes I picked out to try were knock out of the ballpark AMAZING (links are above to the recipes). Seriously, they both were just sensational and the shrimp scampi was even better on day 2. However a word of, ahem...warning. Look, I'm just going to be real. I've been cooking A LOT lately. I've also discovered how much I use garlic in the meals I cook. I LOVE GARLIC. However...if you eat a LOT of garlic (as I have been doing)...your ahem, smelly bits may begin to smell like...GARLIC. Seriously, I was starting to worry that the garlic smell was just imbedded in the air, then I realized it was l...
