    Maraschino cherries in hot Dr. Pepper.
    Silver dragees, festive looking, vile tasting.
    Oatmeal, in the blender until oat flour, then nuke in microwave for 4 minutes with at least twice the normal amount of water.
    Makes “oatmeal soup”. Still has a little of that oatmeal texture, but you can almost ignore it.

    Overnight oats-- my oatmeal already tastes yummy and takes like 2 minutes to make.
    Also these board things:

    I mean... I like most of the things on here individually, but I don't get the hype.

    I can reliably inform you that none of you are ‘trendy’! 😉 ‘Grazing’ is the new word!

    I was planning an extensive cheese/charcuterie/fruit/veg/pickle etc etc (plus a dessert pavlova/mini cheesecake/various berries,coulis, toppings etc) for Christmas Day - proper dinner was to be Boxing Day (long story), and was reliably informed by one of my daughters these things are now called ‘Grazing Boards/Tables’!

    None of it happened of course for the Christmas That Never Was! 😂

    most kombucha is just soda in disguise but the real stuff is good imo!

    McRib...I don't really do McDonalds...but apparently the McRib is back and several of my friends are going weirdo crazy over it. Like all they want to eat is McRibs...weird.

    McRib does NOT appeal to me at all either

    Hmm...I don't think they're really "hyped"...and it's not meant to be a meal. I've seen a similar platter for appetizers and grazing for every holiday and food type get together since I was a child, especially if it was a gathering at Grandma's.

    I prefer more of a traditional Charcuterie Board to what is pictured, but that looks pretty good too...maybe it's just because of the Mediterranean side of the family or something, but this seems like a pretty just normal get together and eat pre-dinner appetizer with cocktails platter. We usually have the fixins' on hand to throw one together whenever...except my kids really like capicola ham and salami and sneak it when we're not looking.
