January 26 2005 -- Blue State Update!

Some of you Red-Staters may wonder what it is we Blue
Liberal Media-Running Elites do during a snowstorm while you people are busy
going to your jobs that require you to go in on days when all signs suggest that
leaving ones home is a ticket to ones own funeral. This is what we do (every
damn day, mind you, but I had time in between synchronizing all my Movodos and
checking on my stocks to photograph this particular snowy days events)


We eat this:



And because I know you don’t know what it is, you
slack-jawed slob, I’ve labeled it. In wording I believe is befitting to the
card-carrying NRA members of the board.


Now I ask you to stop looking at my table. I almost regret
posting it just knowing that unworthy eyes may be gruffly having their way with
my table and its contents.


You may be thinking that we are pretentious for having
chopsticks for our caviar and you would be right…but you would also be smacked
and called an amateur. Would you have us use silver and oxidize the caviar? I’ll
bet you would. Which is why you weren’t invited.



I’ve already taken too long, I must return to my Grey Goose
martinis (which I keep on New Yorker coasters) so that I might continue to read
what my buddies have written in the New York Times while listening to NPR and
slowly tugging on my scrotum to Seymour Hirsh pieces.

January 25 2005 -- Nutty new candy, part 1. (It seems j0ph reviewed this stuff back in November. Oops. Go read his review here for a second opinion.)

Well, here we are again folks, and even though the roof of my mouth has been seriously wounded I just could not let that keep me away from writing up some new product reviews for you all. Today I present to you Reese's pieces with Nuts! Yup, you read that right, not only do you get that wonderful Reese's peanut butter inside each candy shell but you also get the extra added bonus of a real life peanut in every bite!



As you can see the color scheme present on the package is the same as with most every other Reese's brand product, conjuring up images in the mind of happy peanut butter flavor and perhaps even a child hood memory of the movie ET and Reese's featured role in that movie.

Anywho, opening up the package and pouring some out the first thing you will notice is the size.



No longer content to be the tiny peanut butter candies of days past Reese's has grown these guys to about triple their previous size and crammed them full with a peanut.



I was very surprised at how well the inside peanut blended with the candy shell and peanut butter flavors. There isn't a big jump going from one part of the candy to the other, everything seems to just melt nicely in your mouth, not in your hand (take that M&Ms!)

How do they taste? Well, do you like the way Reese's tasted in the past? If so then you will most likely like these. Do you like Peanut M&Ms more then regular M&Ms? If so then once again this is a candy for you. Are you allergic to nuts? If so then I suggest staying away unless you feel like having a good laugh.

Rating? I'll give these guys 4 out of 5. An already awesome candy has been given a face life. I wouldn't say these could be a replacement for normal Reese's pieces but if you have a hankering for some of them but want a little more filling of a snack then take these over the originals.



(This review has been edited! I thought there was chocolate in these things but I guess I was wrong. Danke Alex for pointing that out. Ooops.)

January 24 2005 -- Uno's to the 2nd degree. Hot damnit..

Turns out I have second degree burns on the roof of my mouth from some crab fondue that archebaldo said would be good at Pizzeria Uno's.

Well, it was good but also burned through the roof of my mouth. Here is a picture for you to enjoy.
