I saw these Folios cheese wraps at Costco. This sounds like a commercial but I read on the package that they are 100% parmesan cheese so I thought they would be fun to play around with.
I made a cheese wrapped cheese steak with the partially cooked cheese slices.
I think it was pretty easy to prepare. The cheese slices are wrapped in parchment and then you bake them at 375 degrees F for 6 minutes. Let them cool and bend them in the shape you want and then fill them up.
Here’s the back of the package.
My husband wrapped eggs in cheese. (sorry I didn’t photo them)
He really liked the cheese steak!
I had fun cooking with the cheese wrap. Maybe you can too!
I haven’t seen new Lay’s Potato Chip flavors in a while and today I noticed three new flavors. One was taco, another was cheddar jalapeño and I also noticed Wavy Fried Green Tomato. The Wavy Fried Green Tomato sounded the most interesting so I picked it up. As soon as I got home with the bag my husband bust it open and started munching them down. He said they weren’t bad. I go and take a sniff.
To me they oddly smell like potato salad.
I eat one.
It has a true tomato taste……It taste like a slice of tomato that is topped with mayonnaise.
I eat a few more..they still seem good to me but I don’t know WTFork I like this? I’d never sit around eating tomatoes with mayonnaise on them. Maybe it’s because they are crunchy and salty and seem pretty true tasting?
Then I try to eat one chip more slowly.
It’s not as good this way because this way I get a mouth of powder and the chip seems greasier this way.
I take a look at the ingredients.
Ingredients don’t seem too unnatural.
These aren’t bad.
For a flavored Lay’s Potato Chip the Wavy Fried Green Tomato Chips are pretty good!
I guess…
Worth a Fork!

Well those were the Different and maybe WEIRD Valentine’s Food I came across for Valentine’s Day 2020.
I’m not a vegan or vegetarian but I am selective about the ground beef that I eat. I like that there are no ground beef worries with the impossible burger. The impossible burger (at this time) is the only vegan burger that contains an ingredient called heme that comes from soy roots that makes the patty taste meat like. It is also suppose to make the patty bleed but I have never gotten an impossible burger that bleeds so far but when and IF I ever do I’ll be jumping for joy and you will hear about it.
The first Impossible Burger I tried came from The Cuff in Glendale AZ.
It’s wasn’t bad but it was a little dry and crumbly. It left a sort of butter like aftertaste that I didn’t like. My husband took a bite and said, “I’m never trying an Impossible Burger again.”
He didn’t try my next one from PNPK in Scottsdale (now closed for business).
This one was slightly better. Still dry but not crumbly. No weird buttery aftertaste.
My 3rd one came from Orlando Florida at Disney’s Food and Wine Expo at Epcot.
Impossible Burger is on the right
This Impossible Burger was also dry but was covered in delicious wasabi cream and Asian style slaw.
My fourth Impossible Burger came from Burger King.
This is the first Impossible Burger that wasn’t dry but it is odd. It has a soggy mushy center. The exterior is almost like a shell. This one doesn’t have much flavor. The ketchup and pickle are very over powering to this almost tasteless burger.
The FORKING BEST IMPOSSIBLE BURGER I’ve tasted so far (as of January 2020) was The Impossible Burger from Dog Haus in Scottsdale AZ.
They did have their regular Impossible Burger on the menu and an Impossible slider but I went for the special of the month Impossible Burger. I’m not taking about the toppings here (But the did happen to be delicious). I’m really just talking about the burger. It was nicely caramelized but thin burger. It was the only Impossible burger that was actually juicy like a real burger. This one my husband tried and he also said that it was very good. This Impossible burger actually stood up to the very flavorful SPICY HOT toppings. This one was the December/January Special by Chef Ilan Hall. It was all Vegan and was adorned with chili oil, pickled vegetables, fresh jalapeño and cilantro, hoisin sauce, spicy vegan mayo on a ciabatta bun. It was FORKING HOT and FORKING SPICY but delicious and even with all that heat and spice the Impossible burger still did taste good.
Dog Haus made the FORKING BEST Impossible Burger that I tried so far. (as of January 2020…subject to change)
I just got this in an email that on February the 2nd is potato tot day and Dog Haus is dining away FREE potato tots when you order a sandwich. Thought you might want to know if you are thinking about trying the Impossible burger from Dog Haus.

******UPDATE ******SUSPENDED out of respect for Kobe Bryant.
The Planter’s Peanut Company just released that Mr Peanut was involved in a tragic accident. The 104 year old Mr Peanut lost control of the Nut mobile to avoid hitting an armadillo.
According to someone from Planter’s, Mr Peanut had Wesley Snipes and Matt Walsh as passengers in the nut mobile. It’s not confirmed but someone was heard screaming that Mr Peanut was driving like an “OLD NUT.”
The tragic accident has been filmed and leaked on the internet. It’s been written that Mr Peanut died in an explosion and the funeral will be shown at during the 3rd quarter of the Super Bowl.
The Planters Peanut Company was founded by Amedeo Obici. He was an Italian born American from Wilkes Burro PA.
The Planters Company some time back merged with Nabisco foods and is currently owned by Kraft Heinz.
Many decades back there was a Mr Peanut Store on the Atlantic City NJ boardwalk.
Photo from Pinterest
Planters Peanuts was once a fixture in Atlantic City.
Things like this were sold in this store along with peanuts that smelled delicious.
A long time ago in a land far away it was said that children were given candy sticks in church to make them shut The Fork Up. It also has been written that a person from Germany got the idea to put a little bit of religion in the candy sticks by making them Shepard hook shape.
Some time has passed and someone got the idea to add hyssop flavoring to the candy because hyssop was used in the Old Testament for purification and sacrifice. Maybe nobody really wanted child sacrifice on their hands and they stopped adding hyssop flavoring. But maybe the real reason they stopped adding hyssop was because mint was cheaper and tasted better…
The White Stripes were added.
Or was it the Red Stripes symbolizing the blood of Christ?
Maybe you noticed that many candy canes are not flavored with mint anymore.
The following candy canes are from Archie McPhee.com
And there are Forking Oreo Candy Canes.
www.Spangler.comDoesn’t Forking matter what flavor the candy is. The Forking kid will shut the FORK UP!
We hope you have a sweet Christmas or have a Happy Joyful whatever the FORK you are celebrating and Have a Happy Forking New Year!
Here are the hottest foods that I remember trying in Metro Phoenix in no particular order from restaurants that are still in business. (the Homer Photo is from www.PeeWee.com)
The Kang Pa Curry from Krua Thai in Phoenix was in the top two spiciest burning Thai Dishes I’ve ever tried. I feared for my life when I got this dish. I didn’t even request the hottest level (Thai Hot). This dish actually burned my lips and was next to impossible to eat. I never order medium when I do Thai and always order hot…not Thai Hot. Regular hot is usually good for me….but not this time.
The other hottest Thai Dish was the Holy Basil Chicken from Suh Noi – The Little Thaiger in Scottsdale.
Again I didn’t ask for Thai Hot but this one also was crazy burning HOT. This one was burning hot in a different way. It was like eating the hottest jalapeño ever.
The two hottest Hot Chicken Sandwiches I’ve tried in Metro Phoenix were-
From Monroe’s Nashville Style Hot Chicken I tried the Hottest Chicken they offer called Shut da Cluck waffle sandwich.
It’s like Thai Hot. It’s nuclear but sneaky. First bite doesn’t seem hot but it builds fast….real fast.
The other Hottest Hot Chicken Sandwich came from Famous 48 at the original location around the time when they first opened.
This sandwich was so hot I almost couldn’t eat it and they gave extra hot sauce on the side. *****UPDATE Famous 48 changed the recipe for this sandwich since I had it the first time. It’s a completely different recipe that is much more delicious…but almost mild compared to their original recipe.
You can get some super ultra delicious food from The Barrio Gran Reserva that is especially hot if the chef knows you can take spicy food. The chef showed us her big jar of Chiltepen Peppers (they are tiny and look like pink peppercorns). Chiltepin peppers are very hot but add lots of delicious flavor to foods.
This little complimentary seed starter is really REALLY FORKING HOT!
The Aguachile from the Barrio Grand Reserva is so FORKING Delicious but is also Forking Spicy HOT.
This is a slightly different Aguachile with mango that is also deliciously extra spicy. (also from the Barrio Grand Reserva)
The Diablo Hot Chipolte Molcajete from Mariscos Playa Hermosa is also mighty HOT!
It’s a molten cauldron of hot sauce lined with different proteins.
There’s HOT Chinese Food out there!
www.GettyImages.co.UK.com
The Two hottest Chinese Dishes that I had most recently was the Fish Hot Pot from Szechuan Cuisine in Glendale.
Fish Hot Pot….(this I had before but not in a long time)
Look at all the crushed peppers on top of it. This was so spicy I went off into la la land. Next to was another hot dish called spicy chicken noodle. It was spicy too but not as spicy as the Fish Hot Pot.
The other hottest Chinese Dish was the House Special BBQ Fish from Original Cuisine in Mesa.
This was burning molten hot but also delicious. I usually hate catfish but in the right hands even catfish can be delicious!
I hope I left you Hot and Bothered for some exciting hot food!
Every FORKING THING is subject to CHANGE. Your experience may or may NOT differ.
Be a good guest and not a Forking turkey on Thanksgiving. It seems that some people have been raised by wolves and don’t know how to behave correctly on Thanksgiving. Here are few things that some people need to know.
PLEASE be a normal responsible person. If you come down with a cold PLEASE don’t bring it to Thanksgiving with you. Your germs aren’t special and incase you don’t know YOUR FARTS SMELL TOO! If you go to Thanksgiving with a cold you will inflict your illness on others. Only a Forking turkey would do something this inconsiderate.
Don’t let your children race into someone’s home like zombies not even making eye contact with the host. Just a smile and a nod goes a long way and is enough….and would be appreciated.
Don’t be a Forking Turkey and set the alarm on the host’s washer and dryer. Only a Forking NUT job Turkey would do such a thing. You know your host will know it was done by you…….so please don’t be a dumb cluck.
You might not care for every dish your host serves but DON’T BE A TURKEY and when you see something you don’t care for just don’t eat it. Only a FORKING TURKEY would scream at the table, ” I HATE PROFITEROLES!” For GOD’S sake if you don’t scream in the super market that you hate profiteroles when you see them then why the heck would you scream it in someones home? Only a Forking TURKEY does such a thing.
Only a FOKING TURKEY would re-gift a used food product that already was used that they didn’t care for. If something you tried was crap to you why in the world would you dump your already used smelly fish on someone else……What the heck were you thinking? Only a ding bat or someone who has lost their marbles FORKING TURKEY would do this.
If you or your children break something in your host’s house the right thing to do is to mention it to your host. Not saying anything really Forking make you look like a BIG FORKING RUDE and inconsiderate TURKEY. (that’s just so rude and inconsiderate)
Only a Forking TURKEY would give the host a back stabbing compliment. “That might have been the best Thanksgiving food I ever had” “But I don’t know that much about food and I would rate it two stars!” Only FORKING MORON TURKEYS say something like that.
Don’t act like you are helping to clean up the serving ware by tossing them in the trash. Only a Forking NUT JOB Turkey would do that.
We sincerely hope that the only turkey at your thanksgiving table is the one you eat.
Here are a bunch of recipes from The Forking Truth that you might want to try for Thanksgiving. Up above is for a Southwest Style Thanksgiving. It’s Guacamole Style Beets. (this recipe will go up Wednesday) Here are around 50 Forking recipes to inspire you.

I came across the Numb and Spicy Hot Pot of Lay’s Potato Chips at the Mekong International and Asian Market in Mesa Arizona. I thought that I had to give this interesting flavor of potato chips a try.
The bag looks like this on the back. It’s all in Chinese with a sticker of the ingredients in English.
Here are the ingredients.
It seems safe to eat so I open the bag and take a whiff.
It smells sort of liquorish with other aromas that remind me of fried Chinese Food.
The chips have ridges with a powdery coating. If you look closely you can see little dark specks.
Ok now I taste one….It is hot and spicy. I get mostly spicy hot at first but not too hot. I get spicy, salty and some sweet. It kinda taste like spicy Asian Fish soup. It’s not too fishy but is reminds me of fish essence…that is spicy and is mixed with flavors that are Asian Style. There is an allspice taste. The heat and flavors pass and the allspice builds……… It’s pretty darn good…..If it had less allspice it would be really great!
Those were My Forking Thought on the Lay’s Numb and Spicy Hot Pot Flavor Potato Chips.
Taste is subjective and your experience and package of chips may indeed differ.
