Did you know Cracker Barrel has an online store?
I was dozing on the couch and a commercial woke me up with the news.
For someone like me who doesn’t live near the Barrel, this is good news. Unfortunately you can’t order those nasty good Southern veggies online…or have Uncle Herschel’s breakfast delivered hot to your door.
But a ceramic owl spoon rest is nice, too.
A good friend of mine — a Chicagoland native — recently moved to the South, and relayed an experience on Facebook that made me smile.
He was looking for a banana and asked a woman at a fast food counter if they had any. Her reply?
“We have a banana pudding flavored doughnut.”
Now, it took my friend’s non-Southern brain a while to process this bit of information, but the banana pudding lover in me was PSYCHED.
Banana pudding is one of the greatest desserts on the planet. (They attempt to make it where I live now, but you have to go to the deep South to get the real thing.)
While I’m not the biggest fan of doughnuts as a rule, COME ON —
Ya gotta appreciate their ingenuity!!
Know this guy?
Sure you do — the sausage guy, right?
Always reminding you to eat a good breakfast. Sometimes is being circled by the planets.
Nice guy.
Well, today, be on the lookout. He may be pushier than usual.
You may even notice him loitering around….trying to insert himself into your lunch — dinner, too.
Sausage, sausage, sausage — you won’t hear the end of it.
And that’s because it’s….
National Sausage Pizza Day!!!!
Of course, you may have already heard about this from William Shatner. He might be wandering around your house, too.
If you see something, say something. And have a slice!

Yummy? Creamy? Better-tasting?
Sorry, Greek yogurt, I ain’t buying it.
Oh, I’ve tried your wares — different brands, different fruit-and-yogurt combos, too — and it’s true you don’t taste like other yogurts…
You taste like sour cream.
And I wouldn’t choose to eat anything that has turned for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
I did add the fruit. Didn’t help. I added sweetener, too…and then wondered why I was going to all that trouble when I can simply eat Activia when I have a hankering for yogurt.
It already tastes good.
I’ll admit, John Stamos is a very appealing spokesperson for Greek yogurt, but he doesn’t deliver, either —
When I bought his brand, he was nowhere to be seen.
Maybe that accounts for the bad taste in my mouth.

Spock was famous for his Vulcan mind meld.
My family had one today via Twitter.
It began when my nephew tweeted his slightly unorthodox breakfast choice — chocolate oatmeal cookies.
I replied that his aunt would be proud — not me, my sister Lou. She has made and eaten many batches of the slightly ugly cookie…even when they didn’t really turn out.
I mean, look at them — does it really matter?
My nephew ‘favorited’ my tweet, and I shared the conversation with my sister via Skype chat (knowing she doesn’t check Twitter as often as I do). Now she is inspired to make some of the chocolate morsels for the first time in years!
Don’t you just love social media??

Did you start your morning right with a cronut?
If you answered ‘yes,’ you’re definitely a New Yorker, because this brand new croissant / doughnut hybrid is only available here in the Big Apple…at the Dominique Ansel Bakery on Spring Street.
Why is everyone crazed for cronuts? They’re fried, cream-filled and sugar-coated.
Set your sensors on stun.
When the bakery opens at 7:30am, there is already a long line. They’ve had to set a limit of six cronuts per person…and they go for $5 a pop!
Rumor has it ‘influential’ food bloggers can get them delivered…
(Better plan a trip downtown.)

Yesterday Culturalist posted the Top Ten Best Pop Tart Flavors of All Time.
Brown Sugar Cinnamon was #2.
[Insert string of expletives here] WHAT!??!??! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
No Pop Tart flavor has ever or will ever exceed the warm, Saturday-morning, better-than-even-grandma-could make goodness that is Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts.
The original un-frosted version is even yummier, if you can wrap your brain around that.
S’Mores? Chocolate Fudge? Cookies and Creme? Please, they don’t stand a chance. They’re mere snack foods. Brown Sugar Cinnamon dominates breakfast, lunch, dinner and any time in between.
