I'm guessing the bake took a long time because of the glass? Metal pans transfer the heat better. (I am not a cake so I could be wrong)

Most likely. I've had the same problems with quick breads in glass loaf pans.

I can so tell you’re feeling better and I’ve only known you for a year! I am so glad. 🤡 Happy 5th Birthday FIS, Dennis, Davida & the gang!!!! PS Camel milk I read, years ago, is the most nutritious milk on earth, even for humans. But I live in Texas and have never seen it, likely the governor has banned it because it’s nutritious. I’ll let him know your cake is like seeing the ass of God-it MAY change his mind! 😅😅 Well done and keep smiling, Clowns-(I’ll take up your link/offer on the steak chip thingies for sure). ❤️

Haha good catch! Pretty funny, huh? I was just doing the Mythical gang a favor since they asked (they're old friends of mine), but that was wild.

What do I have to do to get some Culver’s O-rings?!

Have an expense account. Shipping those things was an extraordinary pain in the ass.

Happy birthday!! Long time reader, first time subscriber. Did you know the Doughboy's official name is actually Poppin' Fresh? If that's not the name of a seasoned street brawler, I don't know what is.

Love the Po Ro Ro drink box!

Happy 5th birthday day. Here's to 5*5*5 many more.

That final picture of the cake, taken alone, would lead me to question what sad little persons blog I was entering. But knowing I'm here, at the happiest newsletter on earth it brings me an incalculable amount of joy!

Happy 5th birthday Food is Stupid! I am looking forward to many more. : )

Happy birthday Food is Stupid! and "hey" to its caretaker and family! I'd try anything you'd try... damn can't believe I said that out loud.

My bets on the doughboy, if nothing else he'd give Betty a fatal yeast infection.

Camel milk!! Carrefour briefly started carrying it when we lived in Doha. We bought a pint of the chocolate flavor; one taste was enough for everyone in my family. Barnyard aromas + salty funk + chocolate syrup… definitely an acquired taste. Loved reading about this trece (catorce?) leches experiment. Happy birthday, Food is Stupid!

Okay - so I feel like we're validated! I'm glad we tried it, and supposedly it's really healthy for you, but I don't think I'll be putting that in my cereal...

Happy newsletteriversary Dannis! Well done!

My god, you made something I actually would enjoy eating! 🤯 Feliz quinto cumpleaños! 🎂

I spotted the camel milk right away and went, “Daaaaaaaamn, Dannis and Davida are ballers!” Because I have seen it for sale and it is expensive! Like caviar in a frozen-solid quart bottle.

Sometimes, when customers I like are having a birthday, I’ll bring them a slice of cuatros-leches cake, which is just a slice of tres leches with some cajeta pooled onto the plate beneath it.

Happy anniversary, FISt!

We only got it because it was $4.49 for about a cup's worth, which is still extremely expensive, but happy to pay that once to try it, you know? I mean, you do you know what I did with that truffle once...

2% milk made me a little sad. Lactaid would have been much funnier! Remember that for the next milestone…

Expand full comment

I don't know about you but I am SO conditioned to grab the 2% one that it didn't occur to me to pick up any other kind!!!

Expand full comment

Classic! 2% is still pretty damn funny, considering everything else in it. Hell, you could really have padded the numbers by grabbing skim, whole, 1%, heavy cream, 1/2 & 1/2…

Oh god, what about a Tres International Delights cake? A United Nations Delights Cake? What have you done to my brain?!
