The Experimental OYSTER LOAF!

The Experimental OYSTER LOAF!

Reputed to be an aphrodisiac, oysters are sought after for both their delectable taste and their purported ability to make limp things hard. Which has nothing to do with why we want to make OYSTER LOAF, but still.  (7/28/05)

Cereal Noir...

A SOMBER CEREAL NOIR…

Here’s an odd short for you. It’s a little something I like to call Cereal Noir — a dirge of sorts about stale Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Reese’s Peanut Butter Puffs, and Peanut Butter Crunch. Stale cereal tastes like dust.  (3/30/05)

the frozen drink that walks like a doughnut...

Krispy Kreme’s “Doughnut” Drink…

Krispy Kreme’s been around since 1937, but the frozen drink that walks like a doughnut is a fairly recent creation. I think. It’s reviewed here, along with a bonus review of the Caramel Kreme Crunch! It’s, uh… kremey.  (8/18/04)
