Shamrock Shake Returns to Select McDonald's, But Disappoints This Year
The first shamrock shakes of 2012 have appeared at the McDonald's in my area.
The Vegan Experience Day 19: Breaking Down Bread
I am still amazed by how many people automatically assume that "vegan" automatically means "wheat/gluten-free". Or that all vegans are "raw foodists", for that matter.
This is something you don't want on a pizza
That... that's not food.
What IS that? And why did someone think this was a good idea?
Mind-altering substances were surely involved.

Otherwise, pumpkin pie.
The Vegan Experience Day 12: This Is What Happens When I'm Too Busy To Cook
Ugh, I can't stand Amy's frozen pizzas. If I *had* to eat a frozen pizza, Amy's would be the last thing I would choose.

Super Bowl Giveaway: California Avocado Gift Box for Guacamole-Making

Guac is a close second place though.
Eyewitness Booze Investigation: Smirnoff Fluffed Marshmallow and Whipped Cream Vodkas
@Will Gordon - I have to admit, for the record, that I actually liked the Smirnoff Fluffed Marshmallow vodka...
As always, I remain a huge fan of your writing, but it seems that you and I never agree when it comes to the actual drink reviews!
We Tried Every Trader Joe's "Trader Moon" Wine
I'm intrigued by the inclusion of Sangiovese and Viognier in the Trader Moon lineup... it seems as though most vintners in California have given up on Sangiovese, which I have always thought was a shame... when done well and grown in the right locations, it can be something truly unique and special. I will have to see how this one stacks up, especially since it's priced at the value end of the spectrum.
And as a huge fan of Rhone varietals (especially Viognier), I am very excited to try the Viognier... especially at that price.
I'm not a fan of Two-Buck Chuck, but it sounds like the Trader Moon wines represent better quality and value, despite being priced slightly higher. Can't wait to try them!
Eyewitness Booze Investigation: Smirnoff Fluffed Marshmallow and Whipped Cream Vodkas
@kalinovka - I've tasted the UV cake flavored vodka. Unfortunately. I would put it in the "avoid at all costs" category.
@Will Gordon - Congratulations to you and Emily!

@Amusebouche1 - What a touching story and great tribute. I'm sure Ken would be proud.

Who Pulls Their Cheese off Their Pizza? Mitt Romney
Um... if you don't want cheese on your pizza, just ask for it without. It's not that hard.

Drinking the Bottom Shelf: Hiram Walker Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Apple Liqueurs
I recently purchased a bottle of the Hiram Walker Pumpkin Spice Liqueur, as I am a complete sucker for all things pumpkin.
This was a tragic mistake... I thought it tasted like a combination of cough syrup and how Bath & Body Works' sweet cinnamon pumpkin scented lotion might taste. It was horrible. I couldn't drink it.
@Will Gordon: I love reading your reviews... you are an incredible writer. However, you and I have very, VERY different sets of taste buds. While your drink reviews are always a lot of fun to read, I have never agreed with a single one of them.
My Pie Monday: Roman Potato, Lemon Artichoke, Neo-Neapolitan, and More!
@Chris Baker: Wouldn't have guessed from the picture that it was your first ever homemade pizza... looks like it came out great!
@Amusebouche1: That pizza looks amazing... MUST TRY THIS MYSELF. No sausage for me though (I'm a vegetarian).
