Seriously folks. Takes five minutes of your time to read one post and the chuckle you get out of it will no doubt be rewarding. It's a comic recipe cooking blog! It's like Calvin and Hobbs meets food with a side of comedic ninja! What else were you going to do with those five minutes that will make you giggle and put some perspective on the snobbish assholes that we share the world with?! If your answer is: Come up with a witty snap-crack joke and make myself laugh - then write that down and share it with the world. Some of us aren't that funny on our own time ;)
Excerpt: As the recipe makes its rounds on the internet I get sporadic influxes of comments and emails etc. and I’ve gotten so much flack for that syrup that I figured I’d go ahead and put this out there: I don’t care what kind of syrup you use. I don’t care if you use syrup at all. Whether you want to slather your pancakes with honey mustard or tap the finest, mapleiest syrup straight out of a tree, I don’t care. As long you think it tastes good, that’s all that matters. And I happen to like “fake” syrup (and its price tag). It’s what I grew up with. So why do you care? I get that you don’t like it and that’s fine. But, I’ve never said that anyone has to use exactly the same brand of ingredients that I do. That would be ridiculous. It never once mentions “Log Cabin” in text anywhere on the recipe. It’s just in that one picture because it’s what I personally used. I’m not trying to sell it. So when someone writes “God, I can’t believe he used Log Cabin. FAIL” it comes off, to me, like a desperate grab for some false sense of superiority. Like, “haha look how dumb and uninformed that guy is compared to me and my real syrup.” Come on. Syrup? Really? That’s going to be your measuring stick for the character of a person? The only thing pettier than that is a singer named Tom.
