Happy anniversary to The Muppet Christmas Carol, released on this day in 1992! You may know it as the movie that features the credit "Rizzo the Rat as Himself" — pretty sure cinema peaked at that moment.

Wow, today is the 30th anniversary of The Muppet Christmas Carol! Hard to believe it's been that long since Mr. Dickens and I told Scrooge's story. By the way, if you're wonderin', my tail is still singed.

What's my fondest memory of filming The Muppet Christmas Carol? The food! You wouldn't believe the catering we had on this movie — full gingerbread houses every day! It was like a dream.

I really think that melted cheese might be the answer to all of life's problems. I can't think of one time my day wasn't immediately improved after eatin' some! Remember: Always fondue, never fondon't.

Here's a little life hack for ya: You don't have to even watch the Big Game this weekend to enjoy Big Game snacks! It's true! You can chip and dip to your heart's content without seeing a single touchdown.

On this day in 2016, the first-ever rat-owned pizza joint, PizzeRizzo, opened at Disney's Hollywood Studios in @WaltDisneyWorld! Here's to 5 years of pizza, pasta, plus dessert. Yumm!!

I love Fall, but I don't love that it's soup season. Soup isn't a meal! Unless of course we're talkin' about soup, sandwich, breadsticks, and dessert – now THAT'S a meal. Or at least an appetizer.

It's fondue night! Everything is better when it's dipped in melted cheese. Bread, meat, veggies – heck, even CHEESE is better dipped in melted cheese!

Sorry I haven't tweeted in a while. A few months ago, I dropped my phone in cheese fondue, got it fixed then dropped it in chocolate fondue. Delicious, but inconvenient.

We rats don't eat three square meals a day, we eat three SQUARED meals a day. That's NINE meals! They keep us full and teach us math at the same time.

Note for other rats in showbiz: Make sure you only eat off the craft SERVICES table, not the craft table. Take it from a rodent who's eaten one too many glue sticks.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away – and there are several apples in every apple pie, so might as well eat one of those a day just to be safe, right?

I like fancy food as much as the next rat, but I'll never make it for myself. My rule is: If a meal takes you longer to make than it does to eat, it ain't worth it.

If you're like me, you hate cold weather. Not because it's so frigid outside, but because there are still no restaurants willing to let me make a hot tub outta their tomato soup pot!

I think I just made the ultimate rat snack: A seven-layer dip where each layer is a different type of cheese! Once they all melt, ya can't really tell which layer is which... but who cares when it tastes so cheesy??

Time for me and Yolanda's favorite day after Christmas tradition: Eating a gingerbread house! We used to share a split-level, but this year we each have a ranch style to enjoy. Speaking of which, ranch dressing is surprisingly good on gingerbread!

I gotta say, cheesecake is probably the most deceptive food out there. First time I had it, I was expecting a hunk of Gouda slathered in icing — boy was I disappointed!

Here's a million dollar idea: A restaurant that offers a sampler of the full menu! Not just the appetizers — no, no! The salads! The entrees! The desserts! Even the kids menu! If you build it, I will come… and eat it.

If you ask me, every restaurant should give you free bread. And chips and salsa. And peanuts. And pizza. And if you weren't hungry before readin' this tweet, I bet you are now!

I know it can seem pretty appealing to use an extra large pizza as a blanket. Lemme tell ya – it ain't worth it! Sure, it's pipin' hot to start, but if your appetite's anything like mine that blanket won't be makin' it through the night.

Most restaurants have ketchup on the table, but I'm proposin': Gravy on every table! (And not just spilled on the tablecloth.) Name one dish that wouldn't be improved by adding gravy. Betcha can't!

Sometimes if I'm feelin' too lazy to make dinner, I'll just eat the ingredients on their own. It works fine for somethin' like a sub sandwich, but it's not fun eating crunchy noodles instead of makin' spaghetti!
