The Utz cheese balls have made their triumphant return to the ‘Co — 35 ounces of glorious orange crunchy goodness in what appear to be 3 gallon plastic barrels.
Our first experience with these orange nuggets of delight was purely by chance. Foodnerd was hosting a “big food” party centered around bulk packaged food. I think every item was at least as big as your head. (bigger than a breadbox, certainly.) A one-gallon can of nasty dinosaur-shaped faux “spaghetti-O’s” seems to stand out in my mind, but the clear champions of the evening, able to rise above the petty name-calling and in-fighting between its over-processed and supersized brethren, were the Utz cheese balls.
Light and crunchy is to be expected. But it’s the butteriness that allows these balls to truly rise head and shoulders above the rest. The fact that there are NO hydrogenated oils (partially or otherwise), like for real as opposed to that Frito-Lay nonsense, is just gravy.
Utz cheese balls: a true champion.
Oh, and on the subject of excellent things orange and cheesy, you oughta check out this. (Which I stumbled across surfing around Flickr.) F’ing awesome.

heed this warning, all ye who fly
at least all ye who fly through LaGuardia. DO NOT eat at the chinese buffet in the foodcourt in the US Airways terminal. Trust me on this. My weekend in Ithaca involved more Gas-X and bathroom time than beer & socializing. Urgh.
and the kitchen’s not even trashed
ok, so I ran out of butter and eggs. I guess that’s a sign I should stop baking. ;-P The final tally:
cranberry upside down cake
chocolate afghans
pumpkin cranberry nut bread
espresso hazelnut brownies
banana bread
no-pudge chocolate chip brownies
and one substandard loaf of beer bread, which i’m eating myself b/c it’s a little weird and overdone.
The tallasiandude will be psyched at how good I was at cleaning up after myself given the rampaging nature of this baking bender.
