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...

What I DIDN'T Set Out to Do with My Life: Polarize

If you've read any of my blog posts or have been through my dips in depression via my Facebook feed, you'll know that I think a LOT about what other people think. I'm trying hard to reverse that tendency but honestly the deprogramming to want to be liked by everyone (or most people); is a harder knot to unravel than I had previously thought. In many ways, I believe I have what is called a polarizing personality. It wasn't something I intended in any way, shape or form to have but as I do an inventory of my life and relationships I find that either people like me a lot or basically just hate me or want nothing really to do with me. I suppose I have a large brushstroke of people who are lukewarm but I have come over the years to realize that the toxic traits in myself that I continue to work towards uncovering or better yet evolving past really do tend to alienate people that I once honestly would have gone the distance for. I think it's my tendency to over commit the...

The Foodie Review = Week Ending 08/29/20

FINDS After trying two flavors I have to admit I cannot say enough good things about Simple Creations Seasoned Beef Ribeye Steaks available at Aldi's. We've now had the chop-house seasoning and the roasted garlic and herb seasoning; and all steak cuts were under $5.00. So I could get 3 for each of us (each one is a single serve); for $15.00 in total as opposed to $15.00 for probably 1 rib eye most places. Mind you I want to get a bougie rib eye at some point from a local butcher but this girl is on a hard core budget so I have to stay focused on cheap thrills. I've followed the instructions from Alton Brown for the most part from the episode: STEAK YOUR CLAIM.  Here's the suggestions: Get yourself a Ribeye. Use a Cast Iron Pan 10 Inch - 11 Inch. When making steak, put oven at 500 bake. Put skillet in oven. Coat both sides of steak with kosher salt (I did not because they were seasoned already). Put pan on high heat for 5 minutes. Black pepper on both sides. Canola Oil a...
