  • Monkey’s Paw Turkey Sandwich

    Monkey’s Paw Turkey Sandwich

    Besides not asking for dry turkey, Homer also did not ask for tomato on his sandwich. Plus I would assume bacon was extra? And yet there it is, a extra ingredient added by the Monkey’s Paw to the turkey sandwich on rye. I know that Homer didn’t specifically ask for it, but the addition of…

  • Milhouse’s Vaseline on Toast

    Milhouse’s Vaseline on Toast

    First of all, I love that Bart is oddly intrigued at the idea of Milhouse’s Vaseline on Toast! Perhaps it runs in the family? One of the longest running jokes on The Simpsons is that Homer will eat basically anything. In fact, I can name two other instances where he specifically eats a Petroleum based…

  • Octuplets Banana Bread

    Octuplets Banana Bread

    Apu’s rants are one of my favorite things about The Simpsons. While nothing compares to his “What were you thinking!?” take down of Principal Skinner and Billy and the Cloneasaurus, his rant against Marge’s Banana Bread is pretty good too. We don’t actually get a shot of the banana bread in this episode, just a…

  • Movementarian Lima Beans

    Movementarian Lima Beans

    If you recall this episode well (and I certainly hope you do because it’s hilarious), you might remember that Homer apparently ate an “entire month’s supply” of the Movementarians low-protein gruel. So they were likely forced to switch to he Movementarian Lima Beans as a way to feed their growing religious organization. Sometimes it’s the little…

  • Isotope Dog Supreme

    Isotope Dog Supreme

    Tomorrow might be the official start of fall (which next to spring and winter, is my absolute favorite season) but that means you’ve got one last day to enjoy a summer themed meal. And what says summer (and boredom, if you’re sober) more than baseball? Besides the Isotope Dog Supreme, the Springfield Isotopes have the following…

  • Bart’s Irish Coffee

    Bart’s Irish Coffee

    Yes, I still watch new episodes of The Simpsons. Yes the quality has gone down, significantly, and most episodes are painful. As far as Season 26 episodes go, Bart’s New Friend ranks somewhere in the middle for quality. The premise isn’t all that original; Homer get hypnotized (The Blunder Years anyone?) and thinks he is 10 years…
