$200 for a bucket of KFC?
That fried chicken struggle is real over in Gaza and 3 years ago, folks used to pay $200 to get The Colonel’s clucky goodness smuggled in from Egypt. The price has dropped down to around $30 a bucket these days, but y’all. These Palestinians are playing no games with this fried chicken.

Why isn’t this my breakfast right now? Why isn’t this at Taco Bell in NYC? Why is this only served until 11am? That looks like a decision best made at 3am.

People should eat more insects.
So I was reading this story on CBS News about how people should eat more insects because they could be a valuable source of nutrients for malnourished societies and bugs’ negative impact on the environment is minimal. I thought…hmm…I have some things to say about that. This is the point where I was going to include a picture of some snack bugs or people eating creepy crawlies but I was so grossed out and uncomfortable I almost threw my computer across the room.

There are two types of vegans.
OK, Vegan Friends, go on ahead and pass by this post because you know how I get.
Yesterday I had a great little LOL when Ketan tipped me off to this amazing story:
Whole Foods mixes up vegan, chicken salads
3:31 p.m. EDT May 10, 2013
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Whole Foods Market Inc. said that labels on a chicken salad and those on a vegan version were reversed at some of its cold food bars in the Northeast.

Of course I was ROLLING, picturing all of the angry hipsters in NYC going apeshit because they inadvertently ate some animal.
But then I got sad…because that’s kind of awful for some vegans.

There are no yeast rolls in NYC.
And I’m sick of it. I think I’ve finally reached my breaking point with all this hard-ass bread they put in front of you whenever you go to dinner in NYC.
I want.
A fucking.
Yeast. Damn. Roll.

Rambling Wednesdays: Guys with restricted diets are the worst.
I’ll try anything once and there’s probably a 70% chance that I’ll like it. I don’t consider myself a foodie or even the most well-rounded eater because I do have things that I don’t like:
- olives
- cucumbers (except sushi dishes)
- watermelon (all melon really, but especially watermelon)
- coconut flakes
- beets (except a really good beet salad)
But you see how small the list is? If your list of things you do like is the same length as my list of dislikes, then this just ain’t gon’ work.

If you only make brownies when there’s an office potluck or you have people coming over for dinner, then you are not doing adulthood correctly.
