Miscellaneous Foodstuffs – Summer 2008

On the way out from State College I made a stop at a vending machine — it beckoned to me as the siren call of all vending machines, particularly ones in unfamiliar places, do.

The Mallo Cup was good, but it was only a couple weeks ago that I tried it so it definitely passes the longevity test of vending food. The Hanky Panky was tested immediately and I only ate a handful and eventually threw the rest away. Interestingly, though…

…the location of the Hanky Panky in the vending machine caused raised eyebrows…but I suppose if there is Hanky Panky to be had then it’ll happen near a Party Mix.

Before I left for Brazil, Becky and I went to the “Low-main” — the “lesser” shopping center just south of the Domain — which the developers unsuccessfully are trying to call Arbor Walk. We intended to go to Mighty Fine Burgers but the Sunday lunch crowd was in force so we went across the parking lot to Red Brick Pizza and had some mighty fine pies, although the concept of sauce is lost in translation…as is the understanding of the English language…and the Italian language…unless — and someone correct me if I’m wrong — the Italian actually have a word “RedBrick”.
