Oh, Obnoxious!

I did a new Pop-Tart review *checks watch* almost a month ago now and forgot to highlight it here. Not that this is going to drive views or anything, but it’s nice to once in a while remember that I still run a blog.

This is easily the most annoying one I’ve done to date. And while that is by design, that doesn’t really make it any better. So… enjoy?

Sammy Time

There are a lot of advantages to working from home, and my favourite is that I can have anything I like for lunch. Of course, I usually eat the exact same thing for lunch every day because it fits my nutrition plan best, but sometimes I get a little more adventurous.

To that end: behold! Grilled Cheese Madame!

Yes, it’s just a grilled cheese sandwich with a fried egg in the middle. And yes, I know that the fried egg typically goes on top of a Croque Madame. But I wasn’t going to put the pickle and the egg on top, you know? It’s much more photogenic this way.

Honestly, I’m actually kind of sad that I had no toothpicks on hand to skewer the pickles in with. I know that’s 100% a presentation thing, but… I dunno. It would have made me happy. Made me feel more “legit,” I guess?

The Grilled Cheese Madames were oh-so delicious, and I appreciate how much easier they were to make than actual Croque Madame. Not that I mind the effort-I actually quite enjoy cooking!-but I rarely ever have deli meats in the fridge, and bechamel sauce really doesn’t add that much for how much more work you have to put in (it’s not that much). As far as I’m concerned, Grilled Cheese Madame will do both in and out of a pinch!

Also, perspective is a funny thing. Those sandwiches are pulled almost all the way to the front of the plate, but you’d never be able to tell just by looking at the photo.

TE Video: Coming Soon (Dec 2024)

Oh, things have gotten wildly out of control on my YouTube channel! Over the last month, I’ve gained over 50 new subscribers, and videos are actually getting likes now!? Only problem is, the watch minutes aren’t adding up too quick. So I guess bots can like and subscribe now?

Also all my videos are on Rumble as well. But that channel’s not doing so well. Which is too bad, because the threshold for monetization is much lower there.

Anyway, here’s what’s coming up next month (for all the bots that care):

The Knight Witch – Part 5 goes live on Dec 2, and there’s a new episode every Monday. This one isn’t gaining much traction by any metric, but I didn’t expect it to. I don’t think many people know it exists. But it’s a really good game, it’s too bad it’s buried under so many other games.

Another Code Recollection – Part 12 goes live on Dec 5, and unlike The Knight Witch, this one will actually wrap up by the end of the year. However, this series is getting even less attention than The Knight Witch, which I find odd because it’s a story-heavy game, and at least in my opinion, those are the best games to watch let’s plays of. Oh well! *shrug*

Mario & Luigi: Brothership – Part 4 will air on Dec 7. While the first episode did pretty okay (50+ views), part 2 is still sitting at zero as of this writing. Ouch. I really thought there may be some draw, as it’s a new game with big name recognition, but I seem to have been mistaken. I’m honestly not even sure if I’m going to finish the game on-camera or not. But I probably will.

A Pop-Tarts Review – I’m planning at least one for December. I won’t tell you what flavour, but I will tell you that I intend on putting it up on the 25th. There will probably actually even be another one before that, but we’ll have to see how motivated I feel over the next couple of weeks.

Crunchy… AND poppy

I posted another Pop-Tarts review video out of nowhere yesterday.

Actually, it’s been sitting in my videos folder since August; I just haven’t had the motivation to take the time to edit it. But then I did!

One of my personal goals for 2024 was to post six Pop-Tarts reviews throughout the year. Not a terribly high bar to clear. However, we’re at the end of November and this is only the second. Either crunch time is here, or I decide that I don’t really care that much about this specific goal. I’ve crushed all the ones I really cared about, so this one, I think, could slide. But I still might try! Stay tuned to find out!
