my ode to cheddar bay

there's a lot going on in the world right now - the mounting death toll in myanmar/burma, clinton/obama at a critical juncture, the narcissistic mf in austria thinks that we should be grateful he didn't kill his daughter (narcissism's funny that way isn't it!), oil's close to $124 a barrel, the olympic torch reached the top of everest - yet today none of those topics is blog worthy. because today i'd like to publicly proclaim my love for -

the cheddar bay biscuit

the cheddar bay biscuit , it's exact ingredients shrouded in secrecy, is a glorious creation only available at the cadillac of fast food restaurants and, as our waiter informed us, the only item on the menu that is actually made from scratch in the restaurant. ah, the cheddar bay biscuit - pounds of cheese, loads of butter, and 9 delectable grams of fat per biscuit! it's a wonder that i'm not insisting on cheddar bay biscuits as my main source of sustenance. in the end there are very valid reasons why it's not - one must eat at this establishment and the rest of the food is over-priced crap and frankly, as a person who grew up where seafood is actually from the sea and lobsters go from ocean to table with no tank in the middle (and are actually lobsters - the ones with two claws and no spinney protrusions - and not langostinos or craw fish), it's embarrassing.

and so, i will continue to salivate over the cheddar bay biscuit from afar and hope that someday soon i will find another friend who will indulge my fancy and go with me (my partner, best friend, and another friend have already drawn the line :( ).
