Want some bread with your pasta?

This is the new Domino's "Bread Bowl Pasta". Just in case you haven't had enough carbs today, this should do you in. John ordered a pizza (why from Dominos I haven't a clue, he says because he loves the online delivery service) so I had him order one of these so I could see it in person.
I worked at Pizza Hut many summers ago. To make a pizza, one would open a can of sauce, get the frozen crust out, pour two squirts of oil in the pan, pour two ladles of sauce in the crust, get out the frozen bag of cheeze (spelling error stays), put on X number of pepperoni slices (again, from bag) and put it into the machine-oven, that brought it cooked out of the other side. There wasn't a single fresh ingredient in the entire place. I think the healthiest option was the beer on tap served in pitchers.

This bread bowl isn't doing anyone any favors. It looks like the KFC 'Famous' bowl. Remember McRibs?

Quisp

Quisp wasn't my favorite cereal. I'd say it was middle of the pack. But, for some reason, it was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read John's post on discontinued cereals. From the Quisp web site, I've learned that it was discontinued when I was five. That would make this a pretty early memory, but not an impossible one, since I could still tell you the majority of the kids who were in my kindergarten class. It's more likely that it took a year or two to clear it off the shelves.

It's the Quisp web site that prompted this post. Apparently the cereal is back in production, on a limited basis, carried by small-to-medium grocers from Milwaukee to Buffalo. And it can come to your city, too, if you'll just help spread the word. Just talk to your grocer!

The problem is that this is Quaker Oats we're talking about, owned by Pepsi. They could buy a half-dozen ads for Quisp during the Super Bowl if they felt like it. And if you know your grocer by name, chances are it's too small of a store to rate a Quaker Oats account.
