Every part of it is edible! Except for the styrafoam and tinfoil and
paper clips and hooks and whatever those damn dots are on. And that non
foodsafe tree she's sticking the poison gumdrops on.
It's like watching Saddam Insane with those

It's worse than that. It's burnt on the outside, wildly overdone and
bone dry on the outer rim, and stone cold raw never been cooked in the
center. And she put it in a 350 or whatever oven for awhile, then
turned the oven off and let it sit for TWO HOURS, then took it out to
REST? It's been in a damn stone cold oven for at least the last hour.
She's serving it all at room temperature.

Every notice every time she says EVERYONE LOVES THESE it's about

yeah. the spuge is supposed to look like icicles, and then she puts a
red hot. Looks like somebody with a nosebleed sneezed on it. Or it's
Satan's icicles and has little eyes.
