    I am incredibly upset right now and I can't really be upset at anyone.

    I ordered Dominos for supper because the chicken breasts I was going to use hadn't thawed.

    I ordered the garlic bread, a medium pizza which I would eat like 1/4 and save the rest for another day, and Cinnamon sticks.
    It arrived, great, tasty garlic bread, tasty pizza, took like an hour and a half break to get hungry again.

    Open the container for the cinnamon sticks.

    It's another garlic bread.


    ...



    Crushed.
    Called the dominos location and they said they didn't have a driver available, but that I could get a free cinnamon sticks next time I ordered, which is good.

    But I was really craving that cinnamon.

    Do you have any cinnamon on hand?
    'Cause you already have some bread...

    I don't, thankfully because I just gagged thinking about doing so

    Hmm.

    I can see making pickled something that works on cupcakes. Pickled ginger is in the right ballpark I think. But not cucumber, at least not the usual kind.


    I have tried candied jalapenos. Those may fit the bill. They're pickled and sweet and also spicy and uh. Very good

    I feel like this should have rhymed.

    Today I woke up and took out my leftover sausage country gravy, and was going to heat up some biscuits for it, but then had a thought.

    I baked some frozen french fries, scrambled 2 eggs, then combined those, with the reheated gravy, in a tortilla. It was marvelous.

    I did not fire him for making it but walking away from his job to buy the kool aid and generally goof off that day he was only there for roughly 3 weeks

    i use a lot of leftover homemade pickle brines for making salad dressings, and whatnot, and for adding a bit of vinegar to things

    but the two main brines i've got are leftover from pears pickled in an apple cider vinegar brine, and a red wine vinegar one from pickled cabbage.

    The mix of vinegar and sugar and a little spice, and whatever flavours soaked in from the pickled thing is absolutely great.

    But if you drink the brine, you can't put garlic/onions/green beans/hot peppers/whatever into it to become delicious

    Yeah Little Caesars pretzel crust is pretty ok.

    I will legit defend Caesars because it's not exactly the worst junk food item. It's cheap, but it's not so cheap they're using really shit ingredients because the ingredients for pizza are already dirt fucking cheap.

    Like in terms of "tastes bad and is also bad" most fast food joints take the cake with that one. And if you want to see bad pizza, look no further than Cicis or Dominoes instead.

  • XaquinXaquin Right behind you!Registered User regular
    aww Dominoes is pretty good

    easily the best of the chain places around northern maryland at least

    of course we only have:

    Dominoes
    Little Caesars
    Pizza Hut

    I have a friend from college who is a food scientist for Little Caesars. Her role is basically to design and oversee food prep safety, help source quality ingredients and occasionally try to keep the whacky ideas from marketing from being too unhealthy. The company is one of the few national chains who still makes all their dough from scratch in house every day.

  • bowenbowen How you doin'? Registered User regular
    My only issue with Little Caesars is there's very little oversight for those pizzas they keep in the warmer. Some will sit there for an hour and the store, instead of tossing it, will hand it out and it just reduces the quality of the experience.

    If you get it fresh... it beats the other chains hands down. Still doesn't even come close to a good local pizza joint. But for $5 it's a fantastic deal too.

    It takes them 8 minutes to make a fresh one. I always wait.

    I'm not the biggest fan of Little Caesar's because of their sauce, but you can't beat the price

    also I can't buy the crazy bread, I'll just eat an entire bag without realizing it's happening

    My first job was at a Super K Mart (remember K mart?), it had a Little Ceaser's built in.
    So many nights my dinner was a bag of crazy bread and a coke.

    I miss that metabolism.

    There's this stuff called Puff'n Corn, which is hulless popcorn covered in cheese flavoring.

    I let myself buy one bag a year.

    Haven't tried the sauce, but their crockpot "Cookin' Sauces" make for an easy meal that's pretty tasty.

  • jgeisjgeis Registered User regular
    I haven't exactly been keeping an eye out for it, it I finally ran across the throwback recipe cans of Chef Boyardee Beefaroni. I had to grab a couple to see if they're actually different/decent.

    The only thing I will regularly devour compulsively is a pint of Haagan Das or Ben and Jerry's.

    I will sometimes display the unbelievable restraint it takes to save half for the next night, but rarely. The better option is to split one with the wife.

    I mentioned this in the fashion thread... but one of the top things I can't allow myself to buy are those candy-shell-covered chocolate Easter eggs. I don't know what it is, but they're impossible for me to put down.

    The only chocolate I allow in my apartment is unsweetened baking cocoa, and "meh-tier" small chocolates (like Hershey's kisses) in the freezer.

    Once every few years I might grab a package of Famous Chocolate Wafers...and then revisit the package in the kitchen so often that my roommate at the time only gets a wafer or two before the package is gone because I'm a wafer monster

    Right @tynic ??

    I think I had to buy a 2nd pack out of guilt hahaha
