    The thrill is not gone: Cheap Thrills Cuisine

      Cheap Thrills Cuisine is touted as “the world’s first culinary comic strip”. Not every newspaper carries the strip created by Bill Lombardo and Tak Bui. The low profile strip has been chugging along for many years without any fanfare. Cheap Thrills Cuisine was published in book form way back in 1995 collecting several strips of the time. The niche comic strip is still going strong without abate. The strip is distributed by Andrews McMeel Universal and hosted on GoComics every Wednesday. Chef Peppi delights the audience as the proportionally challenged curator backdrop chef who recreates Bill Lombardo’s recipes as illustrated by Tak Bui.

          Make room for banana milk, the new kid on the block. I do not know how one goes about milking a banana.

            Dark side of the loon: Moonberry Twinkies

              Many believe the moon is made of cheese. Never knew they had moonberries on the moon. Is that why NASA wants to go back to the moon? I am not feeling the love for Moonberry Twinkies. This latest Twinkie looks like charcoal filled with cream. Sorry Hostess, I have to pass. You will only find them in Walmart.

                      I am at a loss for words but yet intrigued by French’s mustard ice-cream. Coohaus Ice Cream and French’s have partnered to bring this unlikely ice-cream flavor. Too bad it is only offered in Los Angles, New York City, and the Hamptons. The good folks of French’s have an online recipe if you are not in the vicinity of these cities.
