Stuff that's good
So I've decided that I'm going to, once a week, relay a few or, in a good week, ten, (PG) things I experienced and couldn't get enough of -- themed, of course.
This week: Stuff that makes me fat
Publix Chocolate Covered Peanut Brittle
"This stuff should be renamed Christmas Crack," writes Megla on the Footballguy.com message board solely about PCCPB (which predictably degenerates into jokes about how Publix sounds like "Pube licks"). I don't frequent Footballguy.com, I googled PCCPB and it was the top link, but I totally agree with Megla. But the great thing about PCCPB as opposed to, say Harry & David's Moose Munch, which is also lethally delicious, is a) you can eat it any time of the year and not have to wait for your grandma (hi nanny) to send some to you around the holidays and b) it's a generic brand and ergo cheap.
Misha's Cupcakes
I know, I know. Cupcakes are so five minutes ago. There are now a bajillion stay-at-home moms pushing frosted crack. I'm not a cupcake freak, and haven't eaten more than a few -- and only for job purposes (really) -- since they were brought in by someone's mom after lunch time. Those were the days. But back to adult cupcake consumption. I'm not one of those women who bites into a baked good and proceeds to make o-faces (and noises), but I'd heard about the cult following Misha has acquired, so I figured I'd give them a whirl. What I thought was chocolate actually turned out to be Oreo flavored and, well, o-face to the max.
North One10's Mushroom Risotto
I love risotto. As a vegetarian, if it's between some noodles and tomato sauce and risotto, you best believe I'm ordering the latter. North One10's mushroom risotto is one of the best I've ever had. It's cheesy, buttery, carby, mushroomy goodness and I looked like Oliver Twist with a bowl of porridge scarfing this stuff. (At least I ordered the small plate.) Before sitting down to dinner, I also got to down a Parmesan risotto ball, which is pretty much what it sounds like -- a fried ball of risotto dusted with Parmesan cheese. If I didn't have the stomach of an 80-year-old lady (and been by myself), I would've downed the whole plate.
Got your own fave stuff that makes you fat? Share!

I love the HUGE meatball they have at DeVito in SOBE. I also adore those awesome tacos from San Loco Tacos (they're named differently now) across the street from The Deuce. Yummy.... Read more

Misha's cupcakes are phenomenal and addictive.
However, my latest dessert love is Brendan's Famous Key Lime Pie from Whisk. Especially after one of their turkey,brie,cran-mayo sandwiches.
And I love some ice cold tea and lemonade and even Arnold Palmers but my new summer afternoon drink is their citrus spritzer.
Other goodies lately are the Mallorca danish and strawberries n cream coffeecake from Starbucks.
