Dear Pete,
I'm on your coast, where, I'm told, it's supposed to be something like -11 degrees tomorrow. As a result I'm trying to gain as much of a fat coat overnight as I can. Here's what I've been eating:
1. I invented a new food: the peanut butter doughnut sandwich. It's inspired by Luther Vandross's Doughnut Burger, but better, because there's no cooking or meat. Slice a Dunkin Donuts Glazed Stick lengthwise, slather with peanut butter, and enjoy. Variant for the kids: use a Jelly Stick. Variant for the teens: serve with Smirnoff Ice.
2. Dark Chocolate M&Ms
Oh my word, these are good. I can't eat regular M&Ms anymore because the chocolate is too waxy. This remedies the problem and wraps it in a crunchy candy shell. Best new candy! Best!
3. Hershey's Kissables
I thought these were going to be bigger, chocolatier M&Ms, but they combine the worst of both: awful chocolate armored in a heavy, flavorless candy shell. Unbelievably bad. I tried to pawn them off on children, but they saw right through them, and went straight for the Marie-Lus. Kissable? It's like kissing packing material.
I better go. It's starting to get dark, and these snack cakes aren't going to eat themselves.
--Jenny
