Consumer report

When we are at the supermarket together, I let Chef Ereck handle the decisions. Meanwhile, I wander around and use my crappy cell phone camera to photograph sights that amuse me. Recent examples:

Any'tizers. You thought chicken fries were best served just before the main course. But you thought wrong. They're best served any'time. Try rousing yourself from sleep some night for a batch of Any'tizers. You won't be sorry.


Pizza-Burger. Who doesn't love pizza? And who doesn't love burgers? And who doesn't love a cheese center? Two things gratify me about this creation: 1) It's a product of St. Francis, Wis. By my count it traveled only 84 food miles! Attention locavores. 2) Reduced fat.


Deeply snarky subhed on the front page of The Sunday Times. "She once said to me that she should never have married into a German family."
