Remember years ago when you thought a pack of Poptarts was a respectable breakfast? Have you eaten one since then? They aren't nearly as tasty or as nutritious as you might remember. The "home-made" poptarts from Ted's Bulletin are as delicious as you remembered those foil-packaged pastries. I hadn't planned on posting the photo here, so I didn't go through the trouble "styling" or finding the best light (i.e. I didn't embarrass myself in public by spinning the plate around and jumping from booth to booth) to illuminate both the sugary glaze with colorful sprinkles and the thick strawberry-jam filling. It was real jam, folks. With real strawberry seeds. Not...whatever that stuff is that's in Poptarts. Don't get me wrong; I'm not really a food snob, and I still enjoy the occasional Poptart, usually with a cup of Earl Grey, you know, to class it up. But Ted's version tastes better than nostalgia. Now, if only they'd serve Chef Boyardee.
Now, this looks good. Maybe just once.
