Lunch time reviews

As the summer comes to an end, so should my food supply. Last weekend I knew I needed groceries, but I really just didn't want to go. I decided to use some of this skill I have called "creativity" (and i suppose another skill that I have that allows me to eat anything, no matter how gross it is).
Anyways, this has inspired me to write about some of the more memorable lunches and suppers that I have had in the past two weeks.

It's Monday night and I should have got groceries, but we went to bp's instead.
Ordered an Extra buffalo chicken sandwich to go, and so it begins:

1/2 Buffalo Chicken Sandwich.
Hours old: about 14
Description: half of a buffalo chicken sandwich * half the fries = 1/4 the satisfaction.
Appearance: Perfect bun. Tomato was really gross.. looked like a sundried tomato; took those off. Lettuce was almost brown, looked like wet newspaper; I ate it anyways.
Impression: I felt like spicy food, and it hit the spot. Cooked it in a toaster oven so the fries and sandwich were pretty good, except that I burned the top of the bun.
Overall: 4/5

1/2 Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, part 2
Hours old: about 38
Description: half of a buffalo chicken sandwich * half the fries * 3x the age! = 1/24 the satisfaction.
Appearance: Kinda like the one the day before, more soggy though. The tomato was very disgusting, and i hammered those off quick. The lettuce was pretty gross yesterday, so i took it off today.
Impression: Not as good as yesterday. The fries were soggy, but the bun wasn't burnt. Gave me heart burn.
Overall: 4/5

2 single serving cans of beans, with crunched up crackers on top
Hours old: found the cans in my desk from eons ago.
Description: Regular, single-serving beans in tomato sauce. 225 ml * 2 cans = a whole fucking lot of beans. 2 cans, dumped into a tupperware conatiner, warmed up in a microwave with crunched up crackers on top.
Appearance: Looks like beans with crackers on top, in other words "very ghetto"
Impression: Pretty good actually, but in hindsight, I don't think I'd eat or recommend eating this many beans in one sitting. :S
Overall: 3/5

Chicken Nuggets
Hours old: about 14
Description: Six golden, white-meat, Superstore chicken nuggets reheated in a toaster oven, served with no-name mustard.
Appearance: Looks pretty good. Just like mom used to make!
Impression: Not bad, not bad. Mustard is a shitty dipping sauce.
Overall: 4/5

Hot wings
Hours old: about 14
Description: louisiana style hot wings from superstore
Appearance: Red wings (not detroit). mmm
Impression: tasty! Not too hot, but good. Tastes like fridge. Could be less greasy.
Overall: 3.5/5

Fried Rice Concoction
Hours old: about 14
Appearance: looks like shit.
Description: Basmati rice, Teriyaki chicken breasts, fried egg, corn (thanks Craig!!) and a bit of soya sauce (thanks Lindsay!!)
Impression: Tastier than it looks. Good, it better be; I gotta eat this shit tomorrow too!
Overall: 4/5

Beer and Apples
Hours old: Two beer dating back from when I moved to mcmoney, but the apples were pretty fresh.
Description: A Rickard's Red, a Rickard's Honey Brown, and two Red Delicious in a small bowl.
Appearance: Ah! Sweet nectar! And also my favorite: apples. Could there be anything better? definitely.
Impression: Rickard makes a good beer, it still tasted fresh considering how long it was sitting around the place! The apples were crisp and juicy. Surprisingly surprising!
Overall: 4.5/5

Fried Rice Concoction, Part 2
Hours old: about 38
Appearance: looks even more like shit.
Description: still Basmati rice, Teriyaki chicken breasts, fried egg, corn (thanks again, Craig!!) and a bit of soya sauce (thanks again, Lindsay!!)
Impression: Actually still good! The basmati rice has an enhanced flavor for some reason. Strange, no?
Overall: 4.3/5

Now, as the week comes to an end and all the food is eaten, and we're already in O.T.! Five seconds left on the clock; what kind of tricks am I going to pull out of my bag?

Tune in later and find out!!!

Noodles

Now, I know this isn't a new idea in the slightest sense. Whatever! We were just trying to figure out how to work these damn things...



What I gather:

#1. Roasted: Who the fuck roasts noodles? That aside, if you do plan to roast these noodles you better first make sure you have something to Take it up into.. like a space ship.

#2. Fried: Now we're talking.. Dropping these babies in boiling oil is probably the preferred method of preparing these amazing noodles because it is good to Be taken with congee.
Tip: fried vermicelli is a delicious dish it added with shredded meat mushroom. Note from Dwayne: Just make sure the meat mushroom sauce doesn't get in your eyes!

#3. Cooked in soup: Apparently, you can add these noodles to flavoured soup. Keep in mind that you probably shouldn't use unflavored soup, as the directions do not allow for it. Most importantly, don't forget to add condiments being served.. these noodles will spice up any condiment you had planned on feeding your family with.


that french doesn't look too promising either.
