Have these existed for years already and I just never saw one? Such a great idea. You can buy different sized ones on Amazon for roughly $10. 

Part Three - Boy Meets World Halloween Episodes

All you need to know about Boy Meets World? 

• This last episode listed in this post is one that I'm still in love with and still makes me warm inside.

• Cory's brother Eric is too far beyond great/hilarious, especially in the final season. Buy that season. 

• Topanga will forever be the hottest thing to come out of ABC Family Channel. 

I know there was technically a season one Halloween episode, but it really had nothing to do with the wondrousness of this holiday so I've omitted it. Links below!

Season Two -  Who's Afraid of Cory Wolf?

Season Five - The Witches of Pennbrook

Season  Five (not really a Halloween one, but scary) -  And Then There Was Shawn (this episode also happens to be THE BEST ONE OF ALL)

(If you're into Halloween episodes in general, go on over here and here to read parts one and two of this series.)

Part Two - Roseanne Halloween Episodes

Part two? Has to be Roseanne. Other than having one of the sexiest opening theme songs of all time, Roseanne was obviously in the top three of sitcoms with the best Halloween episodes. These were the episodes that got me into the show in general and they're still great to this day. (The worst one is probably season nine, stay away from nine!) But all the others? Gold.

You can watch all the Halloween episodes on YouTube - the links are conveniently located for you below. 

Season Two - BOO! 

Season Three - Trick Or Treat

Season Four - Trick Me Up, Trick Me Down

Season Five - Halloween IV

Season Six - Halloween V

Season Seven - Skeleton in the Closet

Season Eight -  Halloween: the Final Chapter

Season Nine -  Satan, Darling

Or if you love these episodes a lot, you should really buy this DVD I just got for $5 that contains all of the Halloween episodes.

Beecher's in NYC

As a Canadian, I often miss proper cheese curds. You know, the Quebecois ones. Those rubbery, delicious little chunks of heaven are often unheard of in these parts, so when I saw them on the menu at The Cellar at Beecher's I had to of course order them. Result? Majestic and fresh as hell. If you haven't had them for awhile (or *shudder* ever) then these are definitely just at good as the ones straight out of Quebec.

Tournesol

I have a new favourite dish and that dish is bœuf bourguignon. If you know how to make this... maybe let me know. I just ate it for the first time at Tournesol in Long Island City in Queens (thanks to the lovely Angela for suggesting we go) and it was transcendent. I promise you. This place is extremely French, lovely and better than any place you frequent so GO RIGHT NOW. And you know how I knew this place would be good? Two reasons. 

1. The free bread at the beginning of the meal was fresh as hell.
2. They gave you BUTTER instead of olive oil with the bread. I can't stand it when olive oil is the only thing accompanying a bread basket. Hate this so much. I don't care how Parisian that is, give me some damn butter. And they do here. 

I can't wait to go again. This dish is phenomenal. 

(Sidenote: Don't forget about the Movie Wardrobe Sale happening tomorrow (Saturday) in Toronto!) 

Lessons of the Week

Here are some things that I learned this week:

1. You're not supposed to ever feed your dog grapes. Seriously, don't do it. I read that here, along with many other things that are bad for dogs in general. It can cause kidney failure or make them sick. Stop doing this! I don't care how cute it is to witness!
2. The best banana pudding in the world is in the West Village at Magnolia Bakery. (Fuck those cupcakes, go here for pudding!) Can't believe it took me this long to hear about it. Apparently everyone else already knows this. Eat it. Love it. Live it. (photo below)
3. Cooked prosciutto IS WAY TASTIER THAN RAW PROSCIUTTO. Why in the hell are people not eating it cooked always? It's eons better! It's like a less fatty, thinner, meatier-tasting bacon. And I love it. I've always tried to coerce myself into loving it raw and why? 'Cause I guess I'm a rube. Never again. Always gonna cook it now. 
4. Kale can actually be tasty. I've never believed this before (I'm talking years here), because, well, it's putrid and poorly cooked most of the time. But I had some of a wonderfully under-dressed kale caesar salad with bacon last night at Murray's Cheese Bar that was the definition of delightful. I should've been less shocked though since almost everything there is amazing. 

Do these seem more like recommendations and less like lessons to you? 'Cause you're wrong. You need to get on all of these things immediately.  

There are pieces of cake in it!
