Slutty Halloween Rebellion--Food, Food, Food


Who decided that women needed to show skin on Halloween? I am not talking about girls (they can afford to make those mistakes and later burn the photo evidence of themselves as school girls and skanky paralegals) I am talking about women...let's say 25 and up. FUCK THAT. I think it is our responsibility to eat as much candy as we can and have double chin contests. Yup.

I Love Vanilla Dessert -- Post #3

Rice Krispie Treats. The most underrated dessert on the menu. Also, the least developed. People fear that adding new ingredients will ruin a good thing, and until very recently I adamantly agreed with them.

A few days ago I went on a date to Irving Mill in Gramercy and found quite a surprise on the dessert menu - "Pork Rind Rice Krispie Treats". WHAT?! I stared for a few seconds in shock. I couldn't have imagined a more doubtful combination...maybe cookies and tuna fish? Steak and apples? This was clearly the underdog of the sweets selection - all of the other choices boasted tradition and reliability, even our waiter attempted to steer us toward the delicious sounding New York Cheesecake. I wasn't having it.

To say that this combination brings one to a state of nirvana is a gross understatement. The rice krispie treats were light, yet somehow satisfyingly dense and the pork rind (s?) added a perfect hint of saltiness that you never thought an RKT needed and now can't believe you ever went without. Go to Irving Mill and order them now. But make sure you go with an open-minded friend.
