Thanks to @JeffAbbott for the reminder. A Randazzo’s King Cake has now been ordered for our household.

“The idea that any of you would rather spend eight hours making shallot jam for a shallot pasta that is, by any measure, fine, as opposed to spending half an hour making queso fundido and just going ham on it with some chips, proves to me that you are lying to no one but yourselves.”

This entire article made me smile and laugh.

Tonight at Chez Turner, we tried out a new sous chef.

Please. Allow me to play you the song of my people.

Retrophisch Review: Blue Bell Mardi Gras King Cake Ice Cream

If you’re expecting ice cream to taste exactly like king cake, you will be disappointed.

If you don’t like cinnamon, you will be extremely disappointed. (And you’re probably not eating real king cake anyway.)

If you have thought what Blue Bell’s Birthday Cake ice cream needs is more cinnamon, this is for you.

It’s not great, but it’s not horrible. Probably would not purchase again.
