Blogger Boggle: Hangover Cures

Editors’ Note: You know, it’s hard thinking of snarky commentary every day, so we’ve opened up the labor pool to our fellow food bloggers.

This week our panel of hung-over experts tell us their cures for fixing the nasty post-drinking bug.

Spoonfuls of honey.

Ummm, don’t hate me, but I don’t actually get hangovers. I tell people it’s the Irish blood in me, though plenty of people with more Irish blood than me get hangovers… but I’ll say after a night of heavy drinking, I sure like a good ol’ fry up – greasy breakfast, fried eggs, corned beef hash and/or bacon, sausage, home fries, buttery toast, jam, wait… what were we talking about?

—Yvo Sin, Feisty Foodie

Bacon! There was a scientific study on bacon that proved its hangover curing effects.

Blogger Boggle: Favorite After School Snack

Editors’ Note: Blogger Boggle is the new ES interview series. You know, it’s hard thinking of snarky commentary every day, so we’ve opened up the labor pool to our fellow food bloggers.

This week we’re reminiscing about our favorite after school snacks.

Banana with peanut butter & chocolate chips. Hot damn that was a great combo. Runner up: Ants on a log (celery with peanut butter & raisins) Apparently I liked snacks that were “playful.” No “Doritos” or something generic for me— it’s all about Moms who take the time to prepare the fun stuff.

Back in High School I used to make this sandwich that I just called “The Egg Sandwich.” There was only one egg on it, but it also had like 4 or 5 slices of cheap American cheese, and I buttered both sides of the bread. Delicious. Then I would go play soccer for two hours. These days I’ve substituted the sandwich with beer and the soccer with watching my cat chase a laser pointer.

I grew up in Macon, Ga. so you have to excuse me and since I’m fucking old, I date myself with a really cold bottle of Coke (glass with the name of the bottling company on the bottom) with M&M’s added til they would make the coke fizz over the top … and then drink it fast and eat the candy …

Back in the day, a simple sandwich would do me fine… as I got older, it got more complicated. I think now when I get home from school, I just rummage in the fridge and at most, fry an egg to slap on top of rice and/or leftover veggies and I’m good… wait, that’s not a snack is it? (ummm, this is probably the part where someone jumps in and yells “This is why you’re fat!” right?)
