There are a lot of 'hot wings' that aren't even half spicy.

seriously ruby the more i think about the madder it makes me. get there, see how it is. i bet it'll be fine. and then if not, move. easy.
― jergïns, Sunday, 25 May 2008 22:35 (sixteen years ago) link
i know, jordan had kind of mentioned moving a couple of times in the past, just because he's worried oakland won't be safe enough for me, but this last week he's gotten really serious about it, and i feel bad, like maybe i shouldn't have said anything to him all those times people have gone 'ohhhh oakland' to me. but yeah, i'm excited about moving there and oakland has fuckin cool art galleries and the parkway movie theatre.
what would be really awesome (except not really) is if we moved somewhere lame like alameda and the next day i got mugged outside our new house (i think this is called cutting off yr nose to spite yr own face, but whatevs).

RR, the chocolate here tastes so bad. coke tastes slightly different. cheese and butter are weird shades of yellow and cream. bread tastes like a tablespoon of sugar. oh and NO PAVLOVA.
but you should try: Waffle House All-Star breakfast salt water taffy any cereal with marshmallows grits Mexican food orange crush dr pepper (so gross but you should still try it)
theres lots more but thats all i can think of right now
― sunny successor, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 02:44 (sixteen years ago) link

jordan just told me that dr pepper has PRUNE flavouring! i was always under the impression it was of the cola family. not sure about orange crush: i don't like orange softdrinks like fanta or anything like that. but that other stuff sounds good, esp the waffle house place. america has cadbury creme eggs and hershey's so i'm not worried about the chocolate. america also has almond roca which just about makes up for anything.
i'm excited about deepfried clams.

curt1s those look kinda boring - are you supposed to dip them in stuff?

sunny, i don't actually like pavlova.

grits are awesome, esp. with butter/salt/pepper

you could visit one of America's many "culturally themed" restaurants

you can have pineapple crush instead!
i still think the chocolate will taste a lot different to you.
dr pepper tastes like cough medicine without the fun of cough medicine
another addition: Ben and Jerry's "Phish Food"

what is cool whip
cadbury's<<<<hershey's<<<<<whittaker's<<<<nestle
― Rubyredd, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 03:11 (sixteen years ago) link
Cool Whip is a "whipped topping" that people buy and put on their Jell-o or pie in place of real whipped cream. I find Cool Whip to be too sweet/cloying/artificial in taste, but some people do love it.
Nilla Wafers, though, are yummmmm just plain.
― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 03:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh, and don't forget to walk into a See's Candy store a.s.a.p. They give you a free chocolate and I am completely obsessed with some of their stuff (scotchmallows, rum nougats, raspberry creams, raspberry truffles...). See's is a West Coast thing, so you'll be in the totally right spot to wander in and try things there at random.
Oh, and their "Awesome Nut and Chew" bars are sooooo good.
btw, I love See's, but would recommend buying stuff at the counter rather than pre-boxed off the shelves, for the sake of freshness.
― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 03:55 (sixteen years ago) link
i love see's mini pops (the chocolate and butterscotch ones, not vanilla though normally i love vanilla).
― estela, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 03:59 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm not sure I have tried the vanilla ones. I usually try not to eat candy that sits on my teeth because I'm totally paranoid about cavities (and dentists).

They have dr peppers in australia, they dont have in nz?
― wilter, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 05:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Grits rule. Use butter and salt, pls.
― libcrypt, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 05:21 (sixteen years ago) link
add enough butter and any starch is good. grits are worth a try
― YOUR ORGANS, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 06:59 (sixteen years ago) link
The way Curtis describes grits has me thinking of polenta, I guess it's the same family of flavour what with being corn and all.
― Trayce, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 09:31 (sixteen years ago) link
grits don't really sound like my kinda thing, but fuck it, i'll try them out.
come on guys, i need some more 'healthy' stuff to try, because this shopping list is starting to make jordan worry about my health (he already said 'you're not gonna eat this all right away, right?' so i pouted and pulled the 'BUT IM MOVING HALF WAY ROUND THE WORLD' card on him. which pretty much gives me a license to eat whatever i want and fuck my arteries).
― Rubyredd, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 11:55 (sixteen years ago) link
cool whip sounds like the same kind of aerated cream cans we get here (which i adore).
Has anyone mentioned White Castle hamburgers yet?
Also lol Cool Whip, I know the guy who invented it.
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 12:28 (sixteen years ago) link
RR, cool whip isnt the same as the cans. its totally next level. id be surprised if there was any dairy involved at all.
― sunny successor, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 13:27 (sixteen years ago) link
its one of those "foods" where you eat a spoonful and think "this is terrible!" then you eat another spoonful.

Cool Whip = tub of processed awesome
Ingredients
Cool Whip is made of water, corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated coconut and palm kernel oil (CPKO), sodium caseinate, vanilla extract, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60 (glycosperse), and beta carotene.
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 13:53 (sixteen years ago) link
also apparently the guy I thought invented Cool Whip... didn't???
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 13:54 (sixteen years ago) link
Dan, are you seriously recommending White Castle hamburgers!?
Cool Whip makes me shudder, but apparently many people enjoy it, so don't listen to me, RR; try it for yourself!
