I'm gonna keep this tight. toy Like my vagina. First time I told that joke. It landed really well. Good job. Hell yeah. yeah people The people wanna know.
00:00:16
Speaker
How tight your vagina is? um I think just more about it probably. oh i'm not I'm not in people. What? I'm not people. i don't want to know. I don't want to know.
00:00:30

Speaker
Lies, none. so That's tight butthole. Yeah, there are two types of people in the world. The people who want to know about my vagina and the people who already know. a Oh, just like there's two people. There's two types of people in the world as well. The people that will stick their finger in their belly button and smell it and people who have never thought of doing that.
00:00:56
Speaker
Who hasn't thought of doing that? No, it was a whole thing at one of our reunions where i think Tom was like, my belly button smells. And half of the table at dinner was like, what are you talking about? And then it turned out that half of us were like, I've never smelled my belly button in my life. And everyone else was like, there's a very distinct belly button smell. Yeah, there is.
00:01:15
Speaker
And they all smell because it's just a little dark. I don't think my belly button smells. Oh, we'll figure out. You don't think... I tried the other day. Literally the other day I thought about this because I think about it about once a week. I think about this belly button discussion because and then i always stick my finger in now.
00:01:30
Speaker
So I can't smell it. I can't smell clean it regularly? like what so you know my cleaning You know my cleaning regimen in the shower. So no. the Yeah, because somehow you just have the one cesspool of bacteria that doesn't have any smell. I don't know. now You know what? next time Next time you think it's highly likely my belly button smells because I understand that if, you know, I've showered recently, yesterday.
00:01:55
Speaker
so ah some brag for you so next time you feel like it's likely you smell you tell me if it's if there's a smell no no no have to stick your finger in there for this it doesn't okay like then and so i can stick my finger and then you smell my finger and you tell me if it smells but i don't i haven't been able to smell it i don't know what the smell is referencing have you smelled your belly button
Meet the Hosts
00:02:28
Speaker
Oh, hi. We have a guest with us today. Our childhood friend, Mackenzie, also lives in Minnesota. She's in the studio. Studio. Wow.

00:02:53
Speaker
And it's good that we have Mackenzie today because she's really good at arguing. So um I've, of course, smelled my belly button. I'm wondering if you're are you doing it in the shower?
00:03:04
Speaker
No, you should do it in the shower. oh is it like enhance the smell? I think so. Interesting. OK, I'll try in the shower. Yeah, everything's lubricated. I know that at this table i am a minority, but I feel vindicated in the fact that at the reunion, half the people were like, what are we talking about as well?
00:03:26
Speaker
The belly button stink. Have you smelled your belly button, Grayson?
00:03:34
Speaker
Yes. All right. Yeah. Well, that's not our topic today anyway.
Desserts: Definitions and Debates
00:03:40
Speaker
Our topic. Oh, but please write in. Please. I need people on my side on this one that there's not this like mass. It's not a mass human experience to.
00:03:50
Speaker
I think smell your belly button in the shower. Be really funny. If only to me and several biologists listening, it's my top three bacteria found in my belly button.
00:04:03
Speaker
We all take a culture of our belly button. Oh God. yeah How does one take a culture? Sterile swab. Yeah. And then where do we send it in? Okay. well more tomorrow yeah we all send our gross swabs tomorrow i gotta slide into mara's dms and send her your swabs it better only be from your fucking belly button anyway i'm keeping it tight like some previously mentioned body parts not my belly button though that's pretty tight too i guess someone's got an innie
00:04:39
Speaker
And our topic today, now that we've primed you and you're feeling pretty probably like hungry, salivating, we will be talking about our top three favorite desserts today. God.
00:04:51
Speaker
I guess just top three desserts doesn't have to be your favorite. um I had trouble with this topic because there are so many different ranges of desserts. I was like, are we talking about desserts I would get at a restaurant, desserts I have in my house, desserts I would take to the movie theater, desserts Baked goods only?
00:05:10
Speaker
i don't think candy counts as a dessert. o Why not? Because it's candy. But it's like, what are you having for dessert? Nerd gummies? Yeah. Candy can be dessert.
00:05:23
Speaker
But if you say dessert, I'm not thinking candy. Okay. All right. that narrow your list down? No. but No, it doesn't. Now, would you say peanut butter, chocolate peanut butter cups are candy or dessert?
00:05:40
Speaker
Candy. Yeah. But if you go to a chocolate store and you have a truffle for dessert, that's still a dessert, right? I think if you're going like a chocolatier, you're getting candy.
00:05:57
Speaker
I like that you're nodding. She's looking around at all of us like, if I nod, somebody's going to nod with me and then we're going to have momentum. I think dessert means anything with sugar in it.
00:06:11
Speaker
no my It could be sugar-free. i think it's a sweet treat. A sweet treat and a dessert, same thing. So pancakes, dessert. Yeah. Pancake could be a dessert. They be. mean, there's lots of breakfast foods that are granola, dessert, cereal. Yeah. Well, granola. Yeah. I would agree. That's more not.
00:06:28
Speaker
Some people have granola for dessert. Yeah. All the TikTok almond moms. Yeah. God. Shout out. I'm sure we have at least one listening. Yeah, a chocolate-covered almond, not dessert.
00:06:39
Speaker
Okay. what about seven? But what about 20? Oh, okay, seven. Still not dessert. 20 chocolate-covered almonds. Now we're talking. going to get the shits later. You're going to get the shits from almonds?
00:06:51
Speaker
Yeah. Almonds. I don't have that experience.
00:06:56
Speaker
Dairy. Chorizo. Chorizo. Chorizo. sure it so Really? so I don't make the rules.
00:07:07
Speaker
i don't make the gut biome. Yeah. Except you can, actually. Yeah. All right. Well, let's get started. So who wants to blast off with their number three? I will. Okay.
00:07:20
Speaker
um I tried to think of very specific desserts from my life for this that gave me most pleasure. um And the number three was I was at the vegan butcher shop o um in the area and I went in randomly and I didn't have anything in mind to get, but there was this woman just selling desserts there and i bought an oatmeal cream pie cookie in the shape of a bear's head and it was like i'm still i'm still thinking about it i'm still chasing that high the frosting was perfect it was adorable it like it was the perfect amount of cinnamon in there and then like that really snowballed my love reminder that
00:08:09
Speaker
No, it snowballed my initial love of oatmeal cream pies. Yeah. Because like, I didn't like those little Debbie snacks growing up. I thought they were trash. I loved them. They're great. They're like the right amount of sweet. It's not too sweet.
00:08:22
Speaker
But yeah, a good homemade one is... Oh my God. Yeah, but I've been eating that and then lately and then like Ben and Jerry's has their non-dairy line right now and there's one that's like an oatmeal cream pie One made out like oatmeal ice cream. It's really good. It's so good. Okay, okay.
00:08:42
Speaker
But like every time I look for it, there it's either not there or they have the like full dairy version and I'm like, what are we doing making that with anything other than oat milk? Yeah, crimes. Correct.
00:08:53
Speaker
So... but that little cutesy bear that I'm still trying to find that's a good one I would love to try that thanks yeah sa see I like that we're entering the vegan I like that the first one had a little vegan flair to it of course you did was it vegan yeah oh I got it at the vegan
Vegan Oatmeal Cream Pie Story
00:09:10
Speaker
butcher shop we were talking about it and I did find a recipe for a vegan oatmeal cream pie oh that was bear shaped yeah so maybe I'll make that I Wow, that'd be cool. Because your oatmeal cookies are really good. Thank you. Thank you. What's the cream in it? Do you know?
00:09:26
Speaker
Can't remember. it didn't look good enough. Yeah. I said, was it this? and And then we moved on. I was more focused on it being shaped like a bear's head. I'm excited. But yeah, it does. I have just like, it's like a big cookie and then the two little ears.
00:09:39
Speaker
Yeah. And a snout. Oh, and a snout. Yeah. Okay. Adorable. Yeah. It's good first one. Vegan ice cream, or the not ice cream, but the like it tasted like real frosting, which is like crazy. i was like, what is this?
00:09:53
Speaker
You know, most ah commercially produced frosting is vegan slash all by Yeah. Yeah. It's not intentional, but they did it and we love it. Yeah. The vegan community.
00:10:05
Speaker
Wow. You speak for all of community. I represent all of And they all agree with you. They do. Why don't we segue into your... Great. Mine is more... These are not like rarities. These are things that I could have like most days. Awesome. And I just like really look forward to. I mentioned...
00:10:22
Speaker
ah So it's summer. It's fruit pizza time. We have a sugar cookie. We have a like a light icing and then a crap ton of berries all over it and some kiwi. And I love a good fruit pizza. And it's like shaped big enough that you don't feel guilty for eating a large slice of it.
00:10:39
Speaker
and I really love fruit pizza. What's the light icing that you're putting on it? This is important. I don't know. because i don't usually think of icing. I don't it it's yeah It is.
00:10:50
Speaker
It's like a, but it's not like a, it's not buttercream icing. It's more of like a lemon sugar. I've had like a cream cheese type one yeah on it. That's super good. My family does like yogurt.
00:11:01
Speaker
Yeah. Oh. Yeah, that's why when she said icing, I was like, I feel like it's usually like a more thick, yeah not even frosting. Do they put something in the yogurt, like sugar? No. Just yogurt? It's like vanilla yogurt. Oh, I've never had that, but I would be down to try. It's good. Homemade sugar cookie, vanilla yogurt, fresh berries. Okay.
00:11:19
Speaker
Josh's family um does like some sort of cream cheese situation and then like canned fruit cocktail. Ew. Canned fruit cocktail is wild, but I do like the cream cheese situation.
00:11:31
Speaker
Yeah. Spread on it. That slaps. Yeah. I don't like most canned fruit. and That was like all I had growing up. And now that I'm an adult, it's... I mean, peaches, though. still fuck... Yeah, I still fuck up canned peaches. Yeah, still fuck up canned peaches. And honestly, canned pears. Because the texture is reliable, unlike an actual pear. Correct. And so I'll fuck up peaches and pears, and that's about it.
00:11:53
Speaker
I don't think tried... But not in the same. Not in the same. And they can't be cubed. No, no, They have be sliced. They have to. Yeah, the big chunks. um I don't think I had a fresh pear or a fresh peach until I was like 25. What? Yeah.
00:12:04
Speaker
what yeah Whoa. I also hadn't tried a fresh cherry until I was a director of a camp. And then one of my campers had a bunch of cherries. And I was like, those are gross because I'd only had yeah cherry cough syrup and thought it was the same flavor. Turns out they're not even close. No. and this child was like, don't be it. Like, I was like, I'm not going to try one. And this child who was like me, like, mm. You're too picky. Expand your horizons.
00:12:30
Speaker
Guilted me into trying it. And I was like, wow, my world just opened up. Thank you, eight-year-old child. It is crazy, though, because I had the... I don't know if I was quite as old, but tasting Washington cherries for the first time is so world-changing. They're so good.
00:12:46
Speaker
i' been thinking about getting a cherry tree, but they're too crazy to deal with. And then you'd have to sing that song all the time. That song? Yeah. You know, the heidi the Katie Tunston. It's like, I don't know who that is. Oh, no, no, no,
00:13:04
Speaker
yeah i like that would be yeah time you saw that yeah it's the black horse it's like black horse and january dream i don't know what the song is called I think that's it. In the middle of nowhere.
00:13:17
Speaker
Yep. Something about doing all the talking. Yeah. huh All right. Well, so this good transition. Me, my turn. Yeah, you do all the talking. So mine are also like more nostalgia based.
00:13:34
Speaker
have have a lot of opinions. This one is maybe contentious and is my most nostalgic. So that's why it's third. um And it's Wanda's. It's it's an Italian cookie. Oh, my God. Shut up. That is south side of you right now. I got to look this up. It's a wedding cookie, right?
00:13:52
Speaker
Oh, I don't know if it's a wedding cookie. I never had them at a wedding. They're also called... these... Guanties. to oh i You don't fuck with these? These, I had these. I went to an Italian funeral, and they were like...
00:14:06
Speaker
there i mean, it was a funeral of, like, Italian-Americans. I think that's why it's big on the South Side, too. It's, like, it's an Italian, like, yeah celebration dessert. And so it's at funerals, weddings, like, birthday parties. Kara, you might like this cookie. It's not overly sweet. Okay.
00:14:24
Speaker
It's, like, very flaky and sort of melts in your mouth and then has, like, a lemon frosting that's, like, drizzled. Okay. Okay.
00:14:35
Speaker
This is literally what I want. yeah Yeah. They're so good. um Like so much so that so like again, Southside Des Moines, very Italian, um grew up basically like living in the restaurant to Mia and Sons and they make them. um And when we lived in Ohio, my family would bring them to me when they would visit. so So.
00:14:59
Speaker
Kelly Ann. Yeah. and um And Nana. um I just want to point out, I googled Wanda's cookies and the very first thing that comes up on Pinterest is Italian Wanda's in Des Moines, Iowa. Oh my God. Love.
00:15:12
Speaker
These are like I do think this is controversial. No, I know it is. Because It's very nostalgia for me personally. I don't think you would like them.
00:15:23
Speaker
They are these like crispy, almost like fried fried tortilla chip type texture. So far we're good. No, they're crispy, right?
00:15:34
Speaker
But they're not chip crispy. They're not crunchy. Yeah. They're like... And they come like this too
Italian Cookie Memories
00:15:40
Speaker
sometimes. I've never had that flavor. are like the If only had them covered in frosting. Same.
00:15:45
Speaker
Maybe I'm not thinking of the same. I love fried food. I love Italian icing. don't see the problem. I feel like I would love this. The next time that I get some, will we'll do a test. They're like crinkly and sometimes they have powdered sugar on them like this.
00:16:00
Speaker
I've never had them with powdered sugar. Only the like pink. Yeah. And icing. What? Okay, well, maybe these are... you need a test as well to decide if you actually hate them?
00:16:11
Speaker
I probably hate them. If they're like the Italian ones. The Italian ones are... They're the Italian cookie. Like a weird sweet. Maybe the Southside one is like American Italian, and so it's maybe different from what Marion's tried.
00:16:24
Speaker
No, I think I'm trying the... Because they're not like crunchy, crunchy. They like will melt in your mouth. Oh, like a shortbread? Yeah. Sort of, yeah. They're probably full of butter. It's probably like half butter. yeah It's probably a pound cake. Butter, sugar, flour, one, one. one And then it's like fried like a churro.
00:16:44
Speaker
Yeah. Or like a funnel cake. God, it sounds so good. Yeah. I did not eat before this. and I know. I'm like, are we having a fruitcake later? Yeah, I can't. So done.
00:16:55
Speaker
um All right. My number three dessert. ah I also did a blend of like things that are nostalgia related, which is um just a very specific one, which is i was working at Free Spirit in 2019 and we had like a potluck or something that people brought um different things to.
00:17:17
Speaker
And this one woman brought this dessert, which was marscapone heath bars and what they were was again sugar cookie base this is critical for me because i am very very uh i have a lot of texture texture issues with different crusts and things so there's a lot of pie crusts i don't like there's a lot of um like cheesecake crusts that drive me nuts um and a lot of like seven layer bars or things have
00:17:50
Speaker
Usually this like crumbly crust that I hate, like different bars will have, you know, like you get a lemon bar and it's got whatever that is on the bottom of it.
00:18:02
Speaker
There's just a lot of them that I hate. And so i usually don't even eat the bottom part because I'm like, I'm just going to, you know, be tortured during this. And they these bars had the sugar sugar cookie base. And I was like, holy shit, this is so good. And then they had like marscapone mixed with chocolate, which was amazing. And then crushed like Heath bars and toffee sauce on top. And they're so good.
00:18:29
Speaker
Absolutely amazing. asked the recipe from her and I've never made them, but yeah. I remember being like, holy shit, this is so good. So that's mine. You have the recipe though? I have the recipe. We can make them. They're easy. Okay.
00:18:42
Speaker
They're super easy. You bake the cookie and then you put the other stuff on top. Yeah. Sounds great. I'm having trouble, I think, like imagining. I can show you what they look like. Yeah, same.
00:18:53
Speaker
It's from the Food Network. they They have this kind of ganache consistency once you mix in the marscapone and the um chocolate. What is marscapone made of again?
00:19:06
Speaker
It's a type of like dairy. like I don't know if that it that was you could call it. Almond paste. No. You're thinking of marzipan? Yeah. Um, whatever. Macarons, macarons. Is mascarpone kind of in the same family as ricotta? different. I know.
00:19:23
Speaker
Is it in the same family as ricotta, mascarpone? Um, ah I would say yes-ish. It's a type of cheese. Oh. It's a soft cheese. Ricotta is more cheesy.
00:19:36
Speaker
Yeah. Mascarpone has, like, basically no flavor. It's texture-based. Like, you get it for texture purposes. It's like a fluffy white... It's like... It's like it's more like if whipped cream and ricotta had a baby. ah okay.
00:19:51
Speaker
Yeah. yeah It's, like, really creamy and smooth. um But it's not cheesy. It's more like whipped cream... And so when you mix it with the chocolate chips and like refrigerate it in this recipe, it just – the texture is so good. It's like the
Midwest Dessert Dissection
00:20:10
Speaker
easiest ganache.
00:20:11
Speaker
I'm a big ganache-based person. Ganache fucks, dude. Yeah. So almost all of my things on here have some type of – they're adjacent at least. But yeah.
00:20:22
Speaker
Should we go to our number twos? Yeah. My number two – isn ah It's a tie between Aunt Peggy's Christmas sugar cookies and that Midwest pretzel crust cream cheese middle strawberry jello with strawberries on the top.
00:20:44
Speaker
What the fuck? What monster are you describing? That has to your number two because we have to talk about it. No, they're not basic amazing.
00:20:58
Speaker
It's just nothing to get upset about here. What is the crust is like I swear God a stick of butter and then crushed up pretzels. Do you know the name of this? I'm looking at it. Pretzel strawberry bar, dude. Obviously. silly Did you have this in Des Moines proper or is this a a one of your small towns? It's rural Iowa bar. Oh God. then they are so It's called strawberry pretzel salad. That's what i'm saying. I need to point out this is actually the second time this has come up on the podcast. Thank you, Grayson. And everyone was just as blown away.
00:21:31
Speaker
Okay, I'm not super offended by that. So the middle layer is like a cream cheese mixed with like whipped cream layer, one just blocking them block in a block. And then the top- perfect thing to have at a picnic. I think this does the jello part of it better.
00:21:46
Speaker
and then the top of it is you make strawberry jello and then you put fresh strawberries in it. um And you have to eat it the day it's made. Obviously. yeah but This one is definitely a nostalgia pull for you. yeah um This is like total like nineteen fifty s yeah like crime. oh yeah Yeah, it's for sure served in the same dinner where like ah like whipped cream, marshmallow, fruit salad, like cocktail. Fruit salad. That's literally my my grandma made that every Thanksgiving. It's pretty good. It is good.
00:22:21
Speaker
i mean it When I went to England, all my flatmates had never experienced American Thanksgiving, obviously. And so I was like, I'll do American Thanksgiving. I had my grandma mail me the recipe. i was like, you guys are about to when I made it and I put it on the table. They said, doesn't that go with the pudding? No. And I said, no, no.
00:22:38
Speaker
This is part of the Thanksgiving dinner. put it on your plate right next to the stuffing. Right next to that gravy, that turkey, those green beans. Is this in replacement of cranberry sauce? No. No. You also get cranberries. I think you need a picture of fruit salad. It is literally but like whipped heavy cream. oh It's got marsh. it's She had me cut up marshmallows. It's got Queen Anne's cherries and then the cocktail mix. And also the colorful marshmallows. Oh, yeah. It's the marshmallows. It has to be like orange and green. yeah This was not a thing in my family. I'm really disgusted by this fruit salad. yeah Our fruit salad was, again, yogurt-based. Yeah, like actual actual fruit salad. Good for you. I'm really happy for you. I don't know how we escaped it though because we're also generationally Iowa. I agree. like yeah It's also a canned fruit cocktail situation. my family loves a good canned fruit. Just not myself personally. Yeah.
00:23:34
Speaker
Yeah, so I still think about that. And I think it's it's been almost half a decade since I've had it, but. I have to say, I respect the pretzel crust because it adds a little bit of salt. We got it, hopefully, a good texture. It's not getting soggy on bottom. No, that's why you get to eat it the same thing. God. yeah um ah The cream is good It's like a it's like um strawberry shortcake thingy, but a little bit fucked up.
00:23:55
Speaker
But I hate Jell-O. Yeah. This is a texture nightmare. think it's probably good. I like a crunch. No, I'm thinking about the Jell-O and then the fact that there are chunks of strawberry in the Jell-O and then you got that middle like whippy thing and then you got soggy, crunchy pretzels. It's not soggy because you bake it. Same day. Well, yeah. think Yeah, so you bake the crunch. Yeah, you bake it.
00:24:18
Speaker
You're describing you're describing the this thing as if it's outrageous, but it sounds so good the way you're describing it. I know. All the things. note No problem. Man.
00:24:30
Speaker
Controversial. This is a good one. Yeah. Number two. I think we should have a dessert party where we make all of these things. Cute! And then we can really judge and rank. Yeah. I like a blind taste. And we can do like a follow-up short little... A blind taste.
00:24:44
Speaker
What's this one? The chocolate ganache or the strawberry pretzel monstratity? don't want to be turned off by the look, though. And I have a feeling that look of that going to give me the ink. You want to be blind.
00:24:55
Speaker
Also, the strawberry salad bar. I like that you put hand over your eyes when you said you want to be blind. You were imagining what it would be like. I'm picturing being Kara. Yeah. Correct.
00:25:07
Speaker
Like a mile in those Louboutins. The problem is I don't eat Jell-O and never will. So no that's going to be a hard one me. don't know. What's that thing? It's agar agar. Yeah. Yeah. You could do a yeah there's vegan version. So the the substitute for gelatin is agar agar usually. just so we we could try it.
00:25:25
Speaker
Okay. We could figure it out. Yeah, I think but I am not going to make the bars, though, without the dairy in them. No, you should go full hog, and then I've learned to accept my dairy.
00:25:36
Speaker
Best three vegan desserts would be a completely different... Totally different experience....podcast episode. Yeah. We can write that down as one. Yeah. um Go ahead with your number two. My number two is berry tart from a restaurant in Minneapolis, and it's got this dark chocolate... So basically a fruit pie.
00:25:54
Speaker
Yeah, but different. um It's got chocolate on it. The fruit pie doesn't. The crust is a chocolate, like dark chocolate thing. And then the there's like a berry filling that's ah thick. It's maybe like an inch deep. And yeah and then you have fresh fruit on top. So yeah, it's basically just another fruit pie.
00:26:13
Speaker
But chocolate. But chocolate version. Chocolate fruit Yep. But tart crust and pie crust are not the same. No. Yes. So. Yeah. One's a cookie. Well, they're different.
00:26:24
Speaker
Yeah. They both got the icky. For you. Yeah, everything I say is for me. i know ah Well, I thought that would land better. But yeah, it's just a fruit pizza with chocolate.
00:26:38
Speaker
I really like it, though. The crust is chocolate. Yeah, but it's not overly sweet. It's like a it's like a dark chocolate. Yeah. Yeah. All of these should have an asterisk next to it. Not overly sweet.
00:26:48
Speaker
Nothing. Yeah. I disgusted by a sweet, sweet things. So is the middle layer just mashed up? No, it's like a smooth cream, but it's also vegan. Yeah. It sounds like it's it's a tart, so it's probably baked. It's tart.
00:27:03
Speaker
It's a chocolate berry tart. And then it has fresh fruit on top. Yes. That, yeah, I'd fuck with that. Yeah, me too. So good. Where is it from? French Meadow. Yeah, classic. Dude, I've never had a bad dessert from there. greens. No greens.
00:27:20
Speaker
Even their gluten-free vegan rose cake Fucking good That sounds nice I think a rose cake would be good and It's a rose cake because the oh Decorations on the outside or It's just roses Oh, hate that, that's a bad description think that's what it's called I saw that when I was there and I was like So what's on the inside?
00:27:41
Speaker
Chocolate? No, that's fucked up, that's fucking stupid I agree, I agree Your your dessert should be describing Or if it's not going to have a little thing that says, but yeah, it literally says rose cake and they don't really look like roses. have you They're just kind of swirly flowers. Describe a rose.
00:27:57
Speaker
The rose is a layered petal and concentric that go bigger little. It's not just a swirl. It's a swirly flower. Damn. Have you guys seen the video of the siblings arguing over ah cake with chocolate frosting being called chocolate cake?
00:28:16
Speaker
No. What the fuck? Dude, dude, literally, we were just, i was at a restaurant in Ann Arbor with Amanda and Savina. And i said, they gave us the dessert list. It's a fancy, like, restaurant. It says chocolate cake.
00:28:31
Speaker
it excuse It says a chocolate cake with like, yeah. And so, and I said, I'd like to see the dessert. Can you like get me a picture of something? I can't find it online. Or can you show me a slice of this?
00:28:42
Speaker
And everyone was like, oh, Marian, come on, come on. I'm like, no, no, this is important because also, is it really a ganache? What kind of frosting are we working with? Is it a buttercream frosting? And she shows me a picture It's fucking vanilla. No cake. That's not cake. Why you call it a chocolate cake?
00:29:01
Speaker
And I was like this is why you you get to visually sample before you actually order a dessert, because that is catfishing. That's so rude. That's fucked up. Yeah, agree. That's cakefishing.
00:29:13
Speaker
Yeah. OK, my number two um is straight up cherry cobbler. oh you That's a good one It's a no for me dog well yeah You can go to hell It's just like cherry cobbler is so That's like the better cousin Of the strawberry salad you're talking about No well I don't think a cobbler is like a salad at all They're not even The strawberry salad is what that bar is called Oh it's a fine I have so many issues with that one. That's why I'm making top three. Many names. Also, those are not comparable.
00:29:48
Speaker
I think that they are in the same family. They are tarts or like tart fruit with kind of like the pieces of the fruit are in some type of saucy thing. You explaining, but you're wrong.
00:29:59
Speaker
And then it's got the buttery crumbly thing. Yeah. No. It's the same. No. The crumbly egg. Hers is served cold, yeah first of all. You can have a cobbler served cold and it's got like good a cream. It's like berries and cream. And what do you have? What do you have with a cherry cobbler?
00:30:17
Speaker
Do you have ice cream with it? You have ass fruit and buttery, flaky. I'm just saying if there was a family reunion, those two would be invited because they related.
00:30:29
Speaker
If I asked
The Joy of Surprise Desserts
00:30:30
Speaker
for a cobbler and I got whatever the fuck Mara just talked about, I would be so pissed. I'm not saying they're the same thing. I'm saying they are related. They are in the same family, so I'm surprised that she's like, cherry cobbler, yes, strawberry salad bar. Because cherry cobbler has that like gelatinous, scoopy... So does the strawberry salad bar. mine's stationary. Hers has structure.
00:30:53
Speaker
Yeah, I get it. Yours has structure. Yeah. Literal jello. Correct. Literal Jell-O. Yeah. The gelatinous goop. Mine is slop. Yeah. Hot slop, though. That's fair. Ugh. So good. Hot slop. Cherry pie is, like, in the family, but I prefer a crumble. Yeah. um Yeah.
00:31:13
Speaker
And that's just straight nostalgia, too. Like, it's not, like, the most fancy or decadent dessert, but it fucking hits. um yeah When I was in college, they had these, like, little ramekins of cherry cobbler all the time, and I would get, like, four. Yeah.
00:31:28
Speaker
This is a serving. Right. And people would be like, what the fuck? And I'd be like, shut up. I'm allowed to do what I want. I'm an adult now. i paid for this meal plan. I will get the most from it.
00:31:42
Speaker
My number two is any dessert that is kind of like, A, a surprise. B, I wasn't supposed to have some of it.
00:31:55
Speaker
It's like not, it wasn't like given, you know, it wasn't for me. Somebody maybe made it for someone else or they give me half their dessert Like, that checks out you know what I'm talking about? Like, they have a dessert and then they're like, do you want some of this?
00:32:07
Speaker
Or they're like, I had this leftover thing. Or like, I'm somewhere and there's a birthday happening and they're like, do you want to slice a slice of cake? Or you're staring at it for long. exactly. And then you ask for some or you don't quite ask, but then you kind of ask. You guilt them. Yeah. And then they're like, do you want some of this? yeah This is a dog answer, dude.
00:32:28
Speaker
Yeah. This bad. I love it. I think surprise dessert or like unexpected dessert is one of the best desserts because it always makes me happy.
00:32:39
Speaker
i'm like super into it. it's It's... And it feels like... It shouldn't have happened. I remember one time, like the one I think about sometimes is my dad had a coworker over for like dinner at one point. My parents used to throw dinner parties when they lived in D.C.
00:32:58
Speaker
And so this coworker, she came over with a huge like... you know, 18 inch box of jelly beans, each with different flavors. And it was for me. She was like, here's this for you.
00:33:13
Speaker
That fucking hit that slap to be like, I'm about to go to this super boring dinner party where my parents literally say, if you're bored, twiddle your thumbs. Like I'm going to sit here and suffer through this.
00:33:24
Speaker
And then this lady comes here with this surprise dessert just for me. So again, that's candy, babe. But that is a dessert. That is it. I had it. For dessert. it a But anyway, my point is just the whole surprise part of it can be really good.
00:33:39
Speaker
Like my friend in college would make cakes randomly, like literally just so like every week she thought, oh, I'll bake a box cake. And then sometimes she would just show up to class, be like, you want this slice of cake?
00:33:54
Speaker
Surprise dessert? Hell yeah. Banana bread at work, dude? Hell yeah! There's a whole viral TikTok about this. Don't tell me it's shit. So the thing is, is that this is a scenario and not a dessert. It's a type of dessert. It's a surprise dessert.
00:34:11
Speaker
It's a type of dessert. You said you had trouble narrowing down your list and you chose this one that's not a specific dessert. It encompasses so many things. That's why I chose it. and Because it encompasses. Is a scenario more than a dessert? You do that all the time with your podcast options. Name one.
00:34:27
Speaker
um Okay. Lessons in patience. And what was the topic? The topic was top three exercises. Yeah. And you said any lesson in patience. That's a scenario. Because took the definition of exercise.
00:34:41
Speaker
Exactly. agree. I'm saying that that's good and that's fair and that makes our podcast great and I'm doing it too. So I don't feel like they're quite the same. yeah're You're not taking the definition of dessert. You're subverting it.
00:34:54
Speaker
No. Yeah. because I'm saying it I'm as doing a specific type of dessert, which is a surprise dessert. That is a real thing. It counts for you. It's just not gonna be in the top three. yeah so That's fine. That's fine. In college, my neighbor, ah Katie, was going to Le Cordon Bleu and her homework was cooking. yeah And so she would come over like once or twice a week with surprise food.
00:35:16
Speaker
And when you're poor and starving, that definitely hits yeah so hard. Yeah. Let's go to our ads.
00:35:30
Speaker
I think our first one of them should be agar because agar agar and agar. I think it's agar.
00:35:38
Speaker
Agar. Stick with your guns. it' Don't let her intimidate you. i mean, we use it in the lab. That's how we cultivate bacteria. Oh, I've only heard it on Bake Off and they say agar. So maybe it's British. but And I looked up if it was the same and the only difference, the ingredients are the same. It's commonly derived from...
00:36:00
Speaker
like red seaweed and they both function as gelling agents but the food agar agar has a lot more impurities in it because the agar used for the lab ah like it can't interfere with microbial growth but i was like are these fucking the same is this really what i use in the lab is what is vegan gelatin and the answer is yes holy shit wow that's wild crazy that's good one Also, other scenarios that we've mentioned as things, summer activities. Our summer activities podcast, you and I both did scenarios instead of just like biking.
00:36:36
Speaker
Is an activity not a scenario? and Like very specific scenarios, like wearing a sundress while walking and getting a cheeky surprise ice cream. I'm just saying the precedent has been set for doing scenarios as top three blank.
00:36:49
Speaker
That's all. Okay, what's number two sponsor? I think it should be Ben & Jerry's because they're classic ice cream, but also they give me vegan options. And they're available everywhere and it's consistent and they're constantly changing and they support the right side of the people. Right, you could feel good about them.
00:37:06
Speaker
yeah Yeah, one of them just got hauled out of a ah congressional committee kicking and screaming for the liberation of Palestine. That's the company I want to support. And then top number one, I would say, is ah in L.A. there's a... Well, I don't know at the restaurant ah like exists anymore. I mean, you could probably say L.A. as a sponsor just in the sense of the amount of dessert shops there and like the way they go so hard for their specific really...
00:37:35
Speaker
like inventive blending of desserts and you can get, if you have conceived of a dessert, it exists in LA in general, but there was, I don't know if it's still there, a restaurant called better than sex and all of the dessert.
00:37:51
Speaker
Yeah. For your birthday, Kara, we went once and all of the desserts have like sex names. Um, and they were super good. Agreed. I was going to say patisseries. Is that how say it? Patisserie? Patisserie.
00:38:06
Speaker
Yeah. So basically, yeah. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, which is in the chocolate shop. ah A scenario. Killin's?
00:38:19
Speaker
Killin's.
00:38:25
Speaker
So my number one is another Midwest
Homemade Twix Bars Guide
00:38:30
Speaker
bar. a boy It is a homemade Twix bar. And the bottom layer is a tube of a sugar cookie dough. This is important. and I think we're finding a theme.
00:38:42
Speaker
ah It's really important. Yeah. You bake that. And then the middle layer is caramels. And you take like those brocks. Like you take pre-made caramels. At least I think it's like 40.
00:38:53
Speaker
And then you add a can of sweetened condensed milk and butter. and then you cook that down. And then you put that over the cooled cookie dough. And then the top layer is like chocolate chips and um butter.
00:39:09
Speaker
Butter. Oh my God. but we are I've never felt so Midwest as I have in this episode. I will say what you're describing is a millionaire bar. um So it's it's not just the Midwest. um that's That's very British.
00:39:23
Speaker
Call those a Twix bar in my house. Yep. That makes sense. That's Midwest. But the dessert itself is a millionaire bar. And they do fuck. It was on my short list. Shit.
00:39:33
Speaker
um I usually make them for Josh's birthday because he fucking loves them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you do. I haven't made a Twix bar since a dessert battle at my first job. movie Oh, I like that. do you make them with sugar cookie or shortbread when you do it I do make them with shortbread. And I'm not using tub caramel. I'm making caramel.
00:39:58
Speaker
Nothing was more Midwest tub. Tub of cookies. But also tub of butter. Yeah. Oh, my God. i mean, nothing about it's healthy. No. That's not the point of this episode. so full of butter. Yeah.
00:40:12
Speaker
yeah There's butter in every and every section. Yeah. Every, so like my long list includes so much butter. Yeah. Yeah. Pasto. Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:23
Speaker
So I love those. And then Carmelite breaks apart. Hell yeah. Yeah. Yeah. ah My number one unsurprising is a lemon bar. Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:36
Speaker
I love the crust. With a shortbread or a sugar cookie because if we had a sugar cookie bottom. I would eat a lemon bar with any type bottom. Give me a bottom. I've seen you eat really bad lemon bars too. don't care what the, I love a good lemon bar, but I'll eat a bad lemon bar all day.
00:40:52
Speaker
but yeah I love lemon bars. There is just something about the acid from the lemon and the flavor and the like a little caramelized on top and then the crunchy bottom.
00:41:04
Speaker
Yeah, I feel like I always get excited about lemon bar. I'm like hell yeah I get one or two bites into this and I'm like what have I committed to why am I here? so you're shortbread hater Oh yeah. I hate it. I like shortbread.
00:41:15
Speaker
Yeah, me too. Yeah. But it's not even because it's not very sweet. yeah It's not even the, correct it's like it doesn't have anything to do with the flavor. Actually, it's the texture of the crumbliness. Um, I hate it.
00:41:25
Speaker
I hate the way when my teeth bite into it and everything about it. And then when you have the gel of the lemon bar mixed with it. But then also it's just as somebody who loves lemons. So I think this is also a controversial take on my end because I love lemons. But there's something about the like sugar and the tartness and the bitterness of the lemon sometimes on a lemon bar that when it can hit wrong for me. And it's the the taste like sticks in your mouth after. i feel like having a sugar cookie base would be too sweet.
00:41:55
Speaker
i agree could be it's not the right texture i don't know that that would help anything for me interesting because maybe the taste of the maybe but i feel like it has to do with the lemon too like the lemon mixture that's happening and then also oh the powdered sugar sometimes is too too heavy and then that texture of biting i do think that sometimes people put too much powdered sugar It's gotta to be a dust in or yeah lost yeah yeah some bust. sometimes it's like a scum layer. ah Tight vagina.
00:42:28
Speaker
This is never a dessert I'm gonna reach for. ah It's a last resort. it's like It's above cherry cobbler, oh but barely.
Lemon Bars Appreciation
00:42:41
Speaker
it's a like oh do you have anything else any surprise desserts lurking around the corner i'll just go without okay that's the best situation because then i just get i will eat i think for thanksgiving greas and smaugh made me a tub of it and i ate the whole thing by myself for like two days i feel that love i also really like lemon bars and no one else eats them it's the perfect scenario yeah yeah yeah to go ham in your corner by yourself yeah
00:43:07
Speaker
just like the pan but I don't even need a plate.
Ice Cream Enthusiasm
00:43:10
Speaker
No. Oh, me. um My top is ice cream. Just all ice cream? Yeah. um I fuck with ice cream, dude. ah I love ice cream. I worked at Dairy Queen in high school. I worked at Cold Stone in college. My mom and I usually have ice cream lunch every time we get together. Oh so cute.
00:43:29
Speaker
um And yeah you can do anything with ice cream. Hello, ice cream, vegan ice cream, regular ice cream. Sorbet. Sorbet even.
00:43:40
Speaker
um You can put chunky things it. You can put toppings on it. yeah Yeah. Put root beer on Shout Pandan ice cream. that's That's been good lately. I'm loving that. I had that yesterday.
00:43:52
Speaker
It's so fucking good. at The Dream Creamer. Would you get it anywhere else or just the Dream Creamer? Fletcher's has it too. Oh, it's real good. Mm-hmm. Um, Fletcher's might be vegan too. o I can't remember.
00:44:06
Speaker
Um, and then RIP to creep and spoon over here that had the, the best, uh, vegan ice cream. In my opinion, they had a rose cardamom, um,
00:44:19
Speaker
Everything about that is so good. rose and you It was so delicate and delicious. I don't like anything floral. i'm really picky. ok it it It can be horrible.
00:44:34
Speaker
um Really overdone. Most picky about lavender for sure. Yeah. There were so many Middle Eastern ice cream shops in L.A. where you could get just the best like pistachio, rose, like anything like that is so good. Love a pistachio for sure. But do you have ice cream feels extremely broad.
00:44:55
Speaker
So broad. You have like one you can like narrow down here. surprise dessert is not. brought It's a very specific scenario. But what's the. But it's so many different types of dessert. and all You don't even know. The ice cream. Nah, I don't have surprise dessert daily. All the time. and I mean yesterday. What was my surprise dessert?
00:45:17
Speaker
I brought you a kind vegan ice cream bar. You didn't eat it, but I brought it to you. Yeah. Ice cream bar. Sorry. That's true. Ice cream bar is true. But you didn't eat it.
00:45:28
Speaker
I didn't eat it. So I don't know if counts in this case. I think it counts for the purpose of the podcast argument. Thank you very much. ah What happened there?
00:45:40
Speaker
Choking on... Pralines and cream is probably my always go-to. Okay, that's a good one. Like, it is my fallback, most delicious. Love it.
00:45:51
Speaker
It's a candied pecan.
00:45:55
Speaker
Kara's free or you're straight to Google. I... i ah i Baskin Robbins, this made my shortlist has one of the best. Is it gold medal ribbon? It's not. It was a month. It was one month. You know, they had the flavor of the month.
00:46:09
Speaker
And September 2023, they had churro ice cream. And they had. did it have chunks? Yes. And it was perfect. I've had other churro ice creams. They do not hit like this one. It had the perfect chunks where it was chewy.
00:46:23
Speaker
It wasn't like hard. It was so good. Did you have it, Grayson? No, I'm just so hungry right now. We were having a silent conversation about how good churros were without any words. Yeah, could see it. I watched it. And it was like the the ice cream wasn't vanilla flavored. It's hard to have like a chunk of a like bread type Yeah.
00:46:44
Speaker
Because lots of times like ice cream with cake in them is gross. So gross. Yucky. It was perfect. And it had caramel ribbons in it. I had it... I had it just one day and then I had it again that day and then I had it, I found it on the last week of September. So I had it every day that week and then it was gone.
00:47:02
Speaker
And I still check every month to see if the churro ice cream is back and they've never returned it. It's commitment. And I've tried other ones and none of them are as good. Maybe you need to write a letter. Yeah. Excuse me. Can you bring this back? Hashtag churro ice cream. I don't like churros.
00:47:18
Speaker
Really? They're not for me. The churro or the chocolate or any of it? I don't like. Fried food with sugar on top? it's like No. I mean, I think this is there are lots of bad churros out there. and Are you also a funnel cake hater?
00:47:32
Speaker
Yes. Okay. You're not going to like that Italian cookie. It's fine.
00:47:39
Speaker
I said I know what it was. I didn't say I liked it. Damn. I would love for people to... also wait did you do your number one yeah lemon bar it wasn't apple pie apple pie wasn't on this list no i like apple pie but it's not it's not a fruit pie it's sweet it's not it's not not it's also like i'm very specific about my apple pies there's well there's colanders frozen the marie calendars is a good it's a good marie colanders i love I'm going to name my colander at home. That's me, my Marie colander.
00:48:14
Speaker
The frozen one is good. It slaps. It's got enough like jelly consistency in the middle. The crust bakes. It's good. Chunky are the apples? A good. They're still like, it's not consistent all the way through. Like each bit of apple has a little bit of. I'm a hater on that. I want my apples to be like soft thin. Yeah. See, I don't want that.
00:48:35
Speaker
Not necessarily soft, but they need to be so, so, so thin. We can blame my dad for that one. I like that He's a fucking snob about apple pies. He like only liked his mom's apple pie. Does he have a recipe? my No, no. And he's um rude about it. Cause my mom tried forever to like make this apple pie for him. And he's always like, do this and she'll do it. And then he'll be like, no.
00:49:04
Speaker
My mom's was better. It's like the never ending search. It's just never good. That's so frustrating. Yeah, I'm really picky about my apple pie. So that's why it's not on the list. But also I just got really excited about all these other, I'm really into fruit pizza apparently. if i had realized were the same thing, it would have happened. feel like I've never seen you consume a fruit pizza. No, we made it for her at Oh, right. Yeah. Tahoe. I do remember that. I also had it a lot in high school because you could buy them at like Hy-Vee. It was a big thing in high school. Yeah. Iowa loves fruit pizza. Yeah, they do.
00:49:30
Speaker
Thank God. My number one, i would like everybody at the same time to say what they think it is. That way we maybe we might get some of my other favorites mentioned from my actual number one. So
Cookie Cakes vs. Fruit Pizzas
00:49:41
Speaker
I'm going to count down three, two, one, and then everyone just stay at the same time. So nobody's influenced by everybody else's. That feels crazy. Don't worry. We'll then we'll go around and say them, but it's just so that you don't, you know, get influenced.
00:49:54
Speaker
So do you have my number one and in mind? I don't know. You gotta say it yeah Oh, am I guessing? Yeah, you're guessing. Right now? Yeah. What? I don't fucking know. Okay, don't worry. You don't have to guess. All right. okay Three, two, one. Fudge. Red velvet.
00:50:07
Speaker
Okay, go around. Fudge. Red velvet. Tort. Fudge. These are all really great g glut guesses. Wow. ah It's cookie cake. i'm Oh, yeah. Like the biggest cookie cake bitch in the world. basically just a fruit pizza without the fruit. That's a crazy...
00:50:25
Speaker
Kara, shut up right now. I'll give you a big cookie with frosting on of I'll give you that if they were at a family reunion. They'd both be invited because they're related. Oh my gosh. But they wouldn't be invited to the family reunion with a strawberry salad bar and cherry cobbler. It's again like if you're craving fruit and you get served chocolate, no.
00:50:45
Speaker
Yeah. I agree, Kara. This is... But yeah, a cho a chocolate chip cookie cake, specifically from a grocery store. I've had fancier ones. i mean No.
00:50:57
Speaker
That one's on on my short list too. My aunt used to work at the cookie company. What are you laughing at over here? I'm trying so hard to keep a sneeze in and it is the funniest thing the world.
00:51:08
Speaker
She leaned like a whole 90 degrees. She was like elevated or like parallel with the floor at one point. yeah I'm crying. Sorry. Yeah, cookie cake slaps. But I'm not a chocolate chip cookie person. yeah And it's always chocolate chip.
00:51:20
Speaker
It is. don't like chocolate. There are other ones, but I think chocolate chip cookie is the best. Sometimes the frosting on it is bad because of the dye. does. They do sugar cookie, I feel. They do. Yeah. I've never seen one.
00:51:31
Speaker
Because my aunt at Southridge Mall, my aunt worked at the American Cookie Company across the across the Santa platform from fucking shit Spencer's Gifts. Oh my God. Where my uncle worked. And on... Were they... It was your aunt and your uncle? Were they married so they could stare each other? They were dating. And then my aunt or my mom worked at the third corner at Zales.
00:51:55
Speaker
Yeah. so they all worked in the same hu they take their lunch breaks together i don't know i was a little kid and so i would go sit on the blow-up couches at spencer's yeah and then go get a free sugar cookie from the cookie company um what a good deal yeah yeah it's a good childhood right there okay
00:52:16
Speaker
She said, okay. Cookie slice with the frosting. will buy one and eat it within a week. It's just fruit pizza without the fruit. It's just that I'm going to hold up. No one agrees with me. I'm fine, but I don't care. It's the same thing. That's delusional.
00:52:31
Speaker
There's no fruit. First of all, that's what I just said. It's it's a fruit pizza without fruit. Crust is completely different. Yeah, it's a cookie. So shortbreads. It's not shortbread. The base of a fruit pizza sugar cookie. And so you're saying can also have a sugar cookie. Can be both. Let's get you a fruit pizza with chocolate chip cookie at the base.
00:52:53
Speaker
They're so similar. That'd be gross. Got your ass. if there were fruit on my cookie cake, I'd be severely upset. Yes, I would be like, that's not a cookie cake. Why is there fruit here? i don't want it here. Get it out.
00:53:08
Speaker
I'm so hungry. um Also, for some reason, Cub hasn't like had cookie cakes lately. What's that about? I don't know. I bought one from Hy-Vee on Monday what and I didn't share it with you. Yeah. No surprise dessert for me.
00:53:22
Speaker
Bad day. and half of it I thought was kind of gross because the frosting was terrible because of the dye yeah i probably would have loved it's like a pink also black dye will give me like tummy aches really unsurprising and green poops i don't think you know blue is too much yeah oh yeah it's always yes it's always a blue it's like that not even royal it's like sky blue or something it's very aggressive let's real quick uh uh rapid fire any honorable mentions you had that you feel like you have to get out The cup of sliced peaches that we got in the Amazon that day that they fed us a fish with a head on it. That fucking slapped. Yeah, it did. That slapped.

I've never had it for breakfast, but I would love My family is a big dessert family, so- and we never had sweets growing up. That's just breakfast for me. Maybe it's just a top two and it's ice cream and what said. Oh, milk cake. Oh, milk cookie.

Can we agree on a third? I'm not sure we're going to get to. I think I think a millionaire bar would fuck up the third. I've never had one. but I like Cherry Cobbler. I don't. Yeah, I like Cherry Cobbler. all right. I know that she doesn't. God, fuck that. I'm not a millionaire bar girl. We don't have to all agree.
