Let us join hands and sing praise for the Nooks and the Crannies

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I’ve recently discovered Thomas’ English Muffins. While I never believed that the commercials were serious in their message, I have come to realize that an English Muffin and a knife is a travesty.

An English Muffin and a fork. Ahhhh, there you go. The perfect meeting of implement and intent. The fork is the key to creating the nooks and crannies. Without the nooks and crannies, you apparently have thick toast and nothing more.

Jam. Butter. Cheese. Eggs. Bacon. Peanut butter. Mini pizzas. Is there nothing I cannot do with this thing? I’m enthralled. I’m verklempt.

mmmmmmmm - English muffin pizza. My MIL used to make batches of these and freeze them - quick and easy snack for 3 growing boys.

Doggone you, Cartooniverse, now I’m going to have to stop at the grocery store on the way home…

Why, I never thought of that. A fork you say … hm. Long have I known the wonderfulness that is English muffins, but I think you may have a point I never considered when it comes to nooks and crannies, my friend.

I shall try to remember this …

5

What kind of weak fingered freak are you? Just rip 'em apart by hand. Then you’ll see some nooks and crannies!

6

I’ll sing praises to the nooks, but I’ll be in the cold hard ground before I’ll be praising any crannies!

7

Thanks, Rue, I couldn’t figure out what he was talking about either.

8

Actually over here we only eat them with nooks.

only the bloody commoners have crannies in their muffins.

9

And let’s hear it for the crooks and nannies, while we’re at it!

10

Bread. I miss bread SOOOOOO much.

11

No apple butter on your English muffin? You do not know true bliss.

12

I just feel That Way, so I gotta say:

“Nooks” are “an interior angle formed by two meeting walls” and it’s highly unlikely to find one in breadstuff. (No, I’m NOT going to read the other definition. Why?)

13

Huh. Does that mean “nookie” (as in “getting some…”) is defined by the erotic activities relevant to a certain distance from two walls?

The things one learns on this board. :wink:

Last night I went to the yuppie grocery store 'cuz I like the carpeted aisles. After hundreds of trips to this store – each time eschewing overpriced items for which I can find cheap substitutes – I finally caved and bought some ExpensoJam. Why the strange moniker, you ask? Consulting my receipt here, I see that the 13 ounce jar of gourmet jam cost me $5.99.

Stonewall Raspberry Peach Champagne Jam

All up in my hizzouse on Saturday morning, some nooks and crannies are gonna be overflowing with this shiznat. Nowhuttumsayin’?

BTW, good thing I didn’t buy it online, huh? $7.50 for jam?!? And that doesn’t even include shizzipping!

15

You know, I’m really having a shitty day at work. This thread gave me a great laugh.

Nooks and crannies. Crooks and nannies. Ha!

And Gazelle, I literally laughed out loud.

Ah, maybe the day ain’t so bad…

16

I was gonna try apple butter one day. I still cannot figure out how they milk the trees, but then I guess I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed.

:smiley:

17

Mmm, sweet, sweet tree milk.

18

Damn, Cartooniverse! You’re just now discovering the wonderfulness of the nooks and the crannies? What a wasted life…

:wink:

But seriously, I’ve loved those little crispy muffins all my life. Alas, a few weeks ago my toaster broke, so I can’t enjoy them again until I get a new one. (Untoasted TEMs are useless!)

19

I was exiled for some years in an area where there WERE no TEMs. The miserableness of it all…thank heaven I have returned to Civilization.

They’re best with black currant preserves. Tartness to contrast the butter-filled Ns and Cs…ah…how sweet it is!

Gazelle! My FIL gave me some of that two Christmases ago! I mean, that exact flavor! You are sooooooooooo going to love it!
