this photo makes me happy down to my very soul

Ahahahahahahahah! That is so amazing on so many levels. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

This also is amazing: Restaurant Review: Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar in Times Square. It is so hilariously mean, I cackled. Here's a representative quote: "Did panic grip your soul as you stared into the whirling hypno wheel of the menu, where adjectives and nouns spin in a crazy vortex? When you saw the burger described as “Guy’s Pat LaFrieda custom blend, all-natural Creekstone Farm Black Angus beef patty, LTOP (lettuce, tomato, onion + pickle), SMC (super-melty-cheese) and a slathering of Donkey Sauce on garlic-buttered brioche,” did your mind touch the void for a minute?" HAHHAHA. I love Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, but man, the review's thorough takedown of Guy Fieri is a thing of beauty.

College Humor: Gay Men Will Marry Your Girlfriends (VIDEO) also made me laugh.

In sadder news, RIP Hostess. I can't remember the last time I ate a Twinkie. Which might explain why they are going bankrupt, I suppose. "Twinkies, the unpretentious, freakishly versatile and seemingly indestructible snack pastry dubbed “the cream puff of the proletariat,” died Friday of complications from economic reality."

In a moment of culinary ambition, I bought a can of pumpkin, but now I realize I have no idea what to do with it. I want a side dish meal type thing, not a dessert. Any advice? And know that there is no way I am making my own ravioli, so that is out. Link me to recipes, if you would be so kind.

I continue to enjoy the delicious cheese of Beauty and the Beast, but I also recognize the show is not actually that good? Here's one improvement that should be easy to make: stop having people in the cases say things to Cat that are So On The Nose about her and Vincent. I can see the parallels without you shining a spotlight and buying a flashing neon sign. Oy. But I like the characters and the non-cop parts of the show, so I have no intention of stopping watching. It's just staying firmly in the realm of guilty pleasure. ( spoilers )
