Welcome to the Satur-deja Vu for the week ending November 12th. I realized about three items in that I have an unusual number of food related bits so we’re just going to look at all of those and then see what’s left. Thanksgiving is coming up and Americans celebrate by eating too much, you know, just like every other day. So unfasten the button on your jeans and let’s get to it.

Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes Ice Cream – I realize this breaks my no Christmas until after Thanksgiving rule. In the case of Christmas Tree Cakes they are available for such a limited time that if you wait until December you might not get any. When I find them, and I haven’t yet by the way, I will buy three boxes and two will go in the freezer*. In the meantime I discovered Christmas Tree Cake ice cream might be a suitable replacement if worse comes to worse. It’s vanilla ice cream with red frosting swirls, green candy sprinkles and bit of yellow cake batter thrown in. It takes exactly like Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. My wife described the flavor as “way too much sugar” which is exactly what Christmas is supposed to taste like.
