Was traveling for a story Friday—that’s my excuse for not delivering the weekly food Tweets last week.

Better late than never? A little?

On with it.

5. John Herschell Taghap (goes by Herschell, works for Tom Douglas) is an entertaining local tweeter. He authored this today:

OH: How was the French Toast? It was ok, a pinch too much cinnamon – LOL DUDE YOU’RE EATING IN A HOSPITAL CAFETERIA.

4. Ooh, burn. Check out what Providence, RI chef Matthew Jennings tweeted.

Applicants listing your culinary school as ‘Johnson & Whales’, U should B embarrassed. It’s not a marine mammal, it’s your alma mater.

3. Not sure what this means, exactly, but we like a good José Andrés quote when we can get it. This one comes to us by way of Kevin Plunkett.

"And if the onion loves music, garlic somehow loves to dance" ~ @chefjoseandres

2. This week’s funny-because-it’s-true Tweet is brought to you by someone named Ashley.

How to tell that the family you are housesitting for is not Catholic: there is no alcohol in the fridge. THERE IS NO ALCOHOL IN THE FRIDGE.

1. And the number one tweet this week: An academic look at baked good trends from Seattle’s own Cakespy.

I like this quote about the cupcake trend not going anywhere: "the cupcake movement is more around its evolution than its dissolution".

We like it too, Cakespy. We like it too.
