A delicious new direction for the blog

Welp, longtime readers know this has been coming for a while now. 

Yep, I've decided to make it official and convert Baseball Card Breakdown from a cardblog to a foodie blog called Baseball Card Breakfast. Going forward, I'll put aside the cardboard and instead showcase exciting delicacies to make your mouth water.

Today's menu item is a Pop Tart Twizzler Sandwich.

Ingredients:

- Pop Tarts or storebrand equivalent (x2 pastries)
- Twizzlers (x3 ropes)
- Fruity Pebbles (1/4 cup cereal)

Cut (3) Twizzlers in half and place them on a piece of aluminum foil and put that on a skillet on the stove on medium-low heat for a few minutes. Don't overcook them, we're just softening them up a bit. 

I like to toast my Pop Tarts while the Twizzlers are on the stove. You'll probably want a fruity variety of Pop Tart for this, such as Strawberry. In this example, I've used a Cherry pairing from the storebrand box of pastry treats.

If you've got any Fruity Pebbles cereal on hand, go ahead and sprinkle some onto the sandwich to add a satisfying crunch. You could also substitute similar fruity cereal such as Trix or Crunch Berries.

Slap on the other Pop Tart and you're good to go. It'll likely be crumbly, especially if you've toasted the tarts, so this is one sandwich you may want to eat with a fork. Optionally, garnish with a scoop or two of ice cream.

Real talk: If you're watching your caloric intake, this might not be the snack for you. I haven't done the math on it, but a licensed nutritionist would likely dissuade you from making Pop Tart Twizzler Sandwiches a regular part of your diet. Still though, for a special occasion, it's a wonderful treat. Maybe do a few jumping-jacks afterwards to balance out the health implications.

Happy Eating and remember to come back for more incredible food creations here on Baseball Card Breakfast!

Ok, no, but really this was just a dumb April Fool's joke.. don't delete me, I was just kidding! 
But can you imagine?! Probably only somebody like Night Owl could get away with charging for his blog and still get a handful of readers to pay for it. (But thank god he would never do that!) Happy Easter and Merry April Fool's Day. Thanks for playing along.

Picked up this Juan Marichal relic in my latest COMC order for my Archives Reserve Master Set. It's pretty cool.

Dawning of a new era: Rainbow Brite Breakdown!

Welp, this has been coming for a while now. I'm sure you regular readers are aware of my obsession with Rainbow Brite, the enchanting doll/cartoon from the mid 80s. It has now overtaken my interest in baseball cards. So it was inevitable that this day would come. While bittersweet, it's time for me to announce that Baseball Card Breakdown will come to a close shortly, and this blog will henceforth be known as Rainbow Brite Breakdown, focusing solely on Rainbow Brite, with emphasis on Rainbow Brite collectibles and fan-fiction.

I'm sure all of you are just as excited as I am to begin this next chapter of The Breakdown!

I look forward to engaging in long, deep conversations with many of you in the coming months and years, sharing our mutual love for all things Rainbow Brite!

Yay!

Vanilla Ice Breakdown.. a new era begins

This has been coming for a while now. After much soul searching, I've decided to change direction here on the blog. Instead of baseball cards, going forward I'll be focusing only on Vanilla Ice and Vanilla Ice related memorabilia. I envision the newly christened Vanilla Ice Breakdown to be a haven for all Vanilla Ice fans to congregate and share stories of meeting Rob and showing off their various prized-possession Vanilla Ice memorabilia.

I hope you're all as excited as I am to expound upon our shared love for Vanilla Ice and all things Iced. Will it ever stop? Yo, I don't know. All I know is right now I'm all about that Ice. Nothing else.

Word to your mother.
