Sometimes, the universe is subtle and coy. And other days, it literally hits you over the head and asks why you have your eyes closed.
I was walking home last night and had an insatiable craving for a grilled cheese sandwich. Now, I went on a grilled cheese kick about a month ago, where I couldn’t get enough of artisan sourdough, whole-grain mustard and a delicious mixture of Gruyere, Emmenthal and caraway Havarti.
Well.
Last night, I was craving a grilled cheese sandwich made of Wonderbread and Kraft Singles. Thankfully, the grocery store was closed. Another disaster averted.
And this afternoon on Ye Olde Twitter? @fizzpoptweet asked people to name their top guilty pleasures. Okay, universe, I get it. Guilty pleasures.

Boulder’s great. It has the energy of a university town but enough grownups to make the place palatable. And for a city of its size, it has some pretty incredible food and shopping. Oh, and of course, all of that natural beauty. Let’s not forget about that.
The one thing is that it’s really freaking dry. This is slightly annoying because I’m constantly searching for lip balm or hand cream, but in the big scheme of things, it’s not so bad.
In fact, it can be rather entertaining. I left a stack of white bread on the counter (don’t ask – it’s a long story) overnight, and it turned into something akin to petrified wood. When tapped on the counter, it made this really dry tap-tap-tap sound that no food should ever make.
Anyway, we took turns launching petrified slices of bread off the balcony, frisbee-style. It was fun.

My friend Natalia is from Peru, and a few weeks ago she asked me if I had a good panettone recipe. I don’t – more on that later – and was curious as to why she wanted one.

Have you seen these McDonald’s commercials for the new Angus Burger, featuring a bakery-style bun?
What, exactly, is a bakery-style bun? Is it a bun that’s made somewhere other than a bakery? Does this mean that there is a particular style of bun that is made at bakeries? If so, why don’t I know about this?
I mean, why bother to call it a bakery-style bun? Why not just call it a bun?

For months, I’ve been meaning to go to Social at Le Magasin. It’s a two-part restaurant, with a little bistro on Water Street and a butchershop/deli facing West Cordova. I keep walking by the bistro and seeing signs for oysters and cheap martinis. I haven’t even been in there, and they already know what I like!
I’ve heard great things about their sandwiches, so it was about time that I tried one. They’re good value – I got a small sandwich for $6.75 and only managed to eat half of it. Each sandwich also comes with a bag of homemade potato chips, which are delightfully salty and ever-so-slightly burnt. It’s a daring but tasty move.
