Vegetarian Texas Frito Pie

An Open Letter To The Makers Of Fritos

Dear M/M Frito,

Please stop making Frito chips so addictive. Please. I’m asking you nicely.

You’ve clearly put some time into making and marketing your product. And that’s just fine. But now I’m in need of some assistance and support, and you’re in a position to help.

Allow me to hit you with some knowledge.

Imagine sitting down with a bag of Fritos to a reality TV marathon (I’m seeking assistance elsewhere for my new X Factor addiction). Innocent enough.

You’ll just have a few of those chips, right?

You would never supplement that first bag of Fritos with a second bag of Fritos. No sir. No way.

So why are you waking up from your sweet dreams of Simon & Paula banter with a Frito mustache? And why is your head delicately cushioned by a pillow fashioned from Frito bags?

Why?

Shame spiral.

Texas Sheet Cake

I spend a lot of time thinking about cake.

How will I prepare my next cake?
When will I serve my next cake?
Why am I not eating a piece of cake right now?

Oh. Wait. I kind of am eating a piece of cake right now. Nice.

I do not, however, spend a great deal of time thinking about where cakes come from.

Which is why I am not entirely sure why this ridiculously delish cake is called a ‘Texas Sheet Cake’.

I can only assume that it has something to do with a cake that is larger than life originating from a state that is larger than life.

And I will admit that this cake’s epic reputation was very intimidating.

I’ve been thinking that maybe I’m just not Texas-y enough to come up with my own version of this gem.

But I really, really wanted to make it.

Ok. Fine. I really, really wanted to eat it.
