Twix Cheesecakes

I really, really, REALLY need to try this recipe. I rarely crave sweets, but when I do you better pray there's some within arm's reach if you don't want to suffer my hunger wrath. This insane looking recipe for Twix Cheesecakes on the baking blog Gingerbread Bagels looks easy to make and unbelievably decadent.

You can snobbily turn your nose up to candy as an unsuitable dessert item, but I figure candy is good and if it ain't broke then don't fix it! I'm not the hugest fan of Twix, but cheesecake + Oreos + Twix = no way that it can be anything but over-the-top mouthwatering and wickedly hedonistic. Visit the full post here: you can bet when I return from Atlanta this weekend that this is on my agenda to tackle!

this is why you're fat

A fantastic find on the internet. This site is so 'Merican I can feel myself gaining weight just visiting it. I think this is my first time linking to just another random food site without it being some sort of restaurant or other food critic-esque blog, but one visit to This Is Why You're Fat.com and you'll understand why. Here's a few of my favorites from the front page...

CORN DOG PIZZA... WOW.


Giant Breakfast Burrito
A seven pound breakfast burrito stuffed with potatoes, eggs, onions, and ham bits, lots of cheese on top and smothered in red chile.
Unbelievable. Honestly, these are just the beginning. It promises to be a sickeningly nauseous ride through artery-clogging and coma-inducing piles of gluttony of which the likes I hope I never see. Or maybe I do. It's really a mental struggle to try and deal with the obvious disgustingly over the top obese experience with what I'm sure would prove to be a tastebud explosion. It's a toss up. Either way, carnivore, vegetarian, food lover, any random person- I suggest you visit the site and just see what actually exists. Mind = blown.

In N Out

We had a bit of an unconventional brunch today, due to the "day after" festivities of my cousin Stewart's 24th birthday party. Last night (and most of the day for that matter) was spent sitting on our fat butts watching TV and eating truly delicious pizza from Papa Toni's in Encinitas as everyone nursed their hangovers and stuffed their faces.

Anyway, since this morning our tum tums were still full of num nums, we lazed about during the regular brunching hour and went to The North Park Craft Mafia Holiday Hit List in Point Loma. (Hop over to my other blog, the newly re-vamped Design Bunny, for all the details).

On the way there, we spied an In-N-Out burger, and I guess we had both silently made up our minds that that was the answer to our brunching needs.

I got my usual Cheeseburger and Ashton his usual Double Double, splitting fries and a drink. Since we recently discovered their Not So Secret menu, I was delighted at the option of adding pickles to my already delicious burger. Next time we're going to have to try it Animal Style, which I'm sure will cause massive indigestion, but I feel as though it's a risk worth taking.

I've learned that often times the food that looks the grossest tastes the best. I'm sure this case that is no exception. Plus the fact that picture was taken from a website called "Gluttonopia" is a clearly a sign from God.
