Moving to Neocities!

Howdy, Rebels!

The Rebel Palate will no longer update on its Blogspot site. Instead, new posts will appear on the new Neocities site at rebelpalate.neocities.org.

So why the move?

Neocities is heavily community-based. Much like Wordpress, all templates and external tools are provided by people who use the service. Plus, I like that I can edit everything manually.

That being said, Blogger was a necessary first step. If I'd gotten onto Neocities sooner, I would have been overwhelmed and probably given up.

Since I finally have a job, I may get the $5/month "supporter" membership. That would give me my own domain and more storage, among other things. This being a blog, it won't be long before I need the extra space.

And yes, all of this means The Rebel Palate is officially back.

I can't say much of my new posting schedule, because of my new job and my big project, but I will at least sort-of-ish try.

I'm thinking to do a lot more short posts, and hopefully one "big" post per month. 

I also want to make the "big" posts into video versions. I know most people would rather watch (or let's face it: listen to) a video than read an article. The Youtube channel is here.

As for blog posts, I'm pretty sure people would rather read shorter things.

I plan to start the actual posts in December, but once again you can see the new site here.

Until then, stay sexy!

The Quest For The Biggy Iggy! (Part Two)

Happy Labor Day, rebels. In the first part, I found out not only are Biggy Iggy and Chewy Louie still around, they’re at Richmond Market of Richmond, Vermont. (Click here to jump to the recommended song, "The Swag" by Link Wray and his Ray Men!) Happy Labor Day, rebels. In the first part, I found out not only are Biggy Iggy and Chewy Louie still around, they’re at Richmond Market of Richmond, Vermont. And that using Google instead of DuckDuckGo and just letting the store’s website load would have gotten me that information much faster. The Biggy Iggy is a whopping seven ounce, 530 calorie ice cream sandwich that brags about its “premium vanilla ice cream” between two chocolate-chip cookies that stay chewy right out of the freezer. They also get a lot of hype by the people who have had them before. According to the Flash Microsite, one convenience store cashier said “Biggy Iggies sell like flapjacks on a cold morning in Wisconsin.” The people of Massachusetts...

DIY Birch Beer

(Click here to jump to the recommended song, An American Trilogy as performed by Elvis Presley!) Monday is Memorial Day, and what's more patriotic than making a beverage for your cookout using an ingredient from your own backyard? If you're a New Englander like me, you may have seen bottles of birch beer in restaurant fridges or even at your local grocery store. If you've never tasted it, it has a delighful wintergreen taste that slightly resembles root beer. I myself have drunk storebought versions and made my own for years! Now it's time to show you how. NOTE: This recipe takes HOURS to make, so you may want to do this on a day off... maybe Sunday!   Also, this is a non-alcoholic recipe. If you're looking for a fermented birch beer, there are plenty of other tutorials for that on equally rebellious blogs. ;) I may make such a tutorial myself once I'm of age. YOU WILL NEED: - Sharp, straight-edged knife - Mixing Bowl - Pot/Saucepan - Hella birch twigs - Sugar ...

Maple: Why a Fall Staple?

I've been confused about this for four years: WHY is maple syrup a fall flavor?! It's harvested in early spring! Well, I SORT of get an answer. (Click here to jump to the recommended song, Minnie The Moocher by Cab Calloway!) Howdy, rebels! Today I set out to answer a question nobody asked. In 2017, I noticed sudden mentions of maple syrup as a fall flavor. This confused the crap outta me. "But maple syrup is for early spring! Why is it a fall thing all of a sudden?" I asked. Now that this blog exists, I set out to find the answer, which turned out to be a lot of answers. Mostly guesses. We'll get to that. Prior to any research, I assumed it was something to do with location and availability. Since maple syrup is high in sugar, it keeps well and is available year-round. Perhaps leaf peepers come up here and buy maple syrup in fall, then associate the flavor with the season. I'm not satisfied with that answer...
