This will be purchased in large quantities for “Crazy Town”.

Why was I not informed?????

Thank you Archie McPhee!

While there, don’t miss out on the Bacon Floss or the Bacon Wallet (My personal favorite).

UPDATE: Of course, I just love this item.

A warning to Ace of Spades, it seems that its illegal in China to kill hobos.

OR maybe its just illegal to make soup from their heads… not sure but best to be safe…

Hey Sinner, what’s for lunch?

Glad you asked because I really want to write some words of encouragement for the maker of my lunch today, “Simply Asia”.

Today I am having the “Simply Asia Mandarin Orange Noodle Bowl”

I have been trying various “shelf stable” foods lately because they are easy, fast and can be stored in an office drawer until I get shut out of the “whats for lunch?” crowd. You know who I mean, the gang that eats lunch together every workday but proceeds the outing with a nice 30 minute round of “I dunno, what do you want?”.

I hate those people.

Hate.

Plus, there is always one wisenheimer that knows what he/she wants but refuses to speak up. They just decline every suggestion until you happen upon the “correct” one. I’ll take “WTF DO YOU WANT!!” for $100 Alex.

Wait… this was going somewhere before getting derailed….

Oh yeah, this:

So, I find myself rooting around the office for something to eat, mainly because Mrs. Sinner decided to rob me of my last dollar sometime during the night. Hint for you ladies out there: Don’t just grab money out of our wallets when we are sleeping, but if you must don’t leave it completely empty. We (foolishly) count on having the same money in our wallets when we get up and go to work only to find out that you are flat busted… Don’t do that ladies, please…

Ok, another train wreak … Focus Sinner, Focus…

The packaging was different from the other shelf stable “emergency” lunches and it was partially transparent so you could see actual noodles inside. As the package said “fork included” and I didn’t have any other means for transporting food to my mouth, this was the obvious choice.

Opening the package I remarked that there sure was a lot of packaging, a box, shrink wrap, the bowl and lid, shrinkwrapped noodles, and 3 mystery envelopes. I’m not a green nut, but dam boys… that’s a bunch of stuff sitting in my wastebasket…

I opened the noodle package and noted that the noodles inside were “damp” and not the expected ramen-type dry brick. I took that to be a sign that something good was waiting for me. Dumping the noodles and 2 of the 3 mystery packets into the bowl I was somewhat stymied by the instruction to add 2 Tablespoons of water. Who has a measure in their office? Oh, right.. I do! heh

Microwave 2 minutes, stir, add the final mystery packet and it was ready. Total 5 minutes from “I’m hungry” to “Let’s do this thing”. Not bad.

Expecting the worst, even though all signs point to “yummy”, I took the comically tiny fork provided and dug in. it was fantastic!!11! Really… don’t look at me that way… it was FRAKING AWESOME! Best part was that it continued to be great all the way through. When I was finished I wanted for more, I wasn’t hungry anymore, I just wanted more.

Great lunch guys, I will be partaking of your products many times in the future.

Also in the pile of shelf-stable stuff is:

hmmm.. maybe I will just blow off the “lunch gang of indecisiveness” again tomorrow.

Preach it brother!

Bacon + Other Food = Awesome.

That is one of the gems of wisdom that gives me hope for the future of mankind. Well, that and the KFC buffet lunch….

Must… post… this… before … heart…

gahhhhhhhh

[thump]

Hey Sinner! What’s for lunch today?

Well, normally it would be planned leftovers from the normal weekend cook-fest at Casa Sins. Maybe a stirfry or a nice curry, maybe even some sort of roast or fajitas. Ummm…. tasty…

This past weekend we didn’t have the cook-fest due to reasons beyond our control so you know what that means…

FROZEN CRAP!

Yes, its another frozen dinner review!

I felt compelled to write this review of : “El Charrito by Don Miguel’s Saltillo Dinner” because I really enjoyed it.

Other than the “Rocket Scientist” microwave instructions (heat on high, stand on your head, turn tray, heat on med-high while doing the “I found gold” dance, etc…) there isn’t anything negative to say about this offering. Super cheap (which is why I decided to try it) and tasty!

When I opened it up it had a separate compartment in the tray for the “hot sauce” (the red stuff in the pic), I thought: “Well, isn’t that cute they think they have a hot sauce”. Turns out it that this was actually was moderately warm, meaning it would blow the sinuses directly out the back of a normal person’s head. I was impressed that using this sauce that I didn’t even open my ever trusty Louisiana style pepper sauce.

So, far from being “frozen crap”, this is something I would have again and again. Not only because the price is certainly right (<$3).

Its a great value and has high “eat-ability” (Take that Budwiser!).

Got to be the best foor site evah, This is why you’re fat.

Dam straight! Everything SHOULD taste like bacon…

In fact, here is the bacon flowchart:

Just how could something called the Bacon Explosion be bad?

No way!

NY Times mentions that it is essentially “a four-pound roll of pork.”

ZOMG! you totally had me at “Bacon”, you need not pile on the praise!

He bought about $20 worth of bacon and Italian sausage from a local meat market. As it lay on the counter, he thought of weaving strips of raw bacon into a mat. The two spackled the bacon mat with a layer of sausage, covered that with a crunchy layer of cooked bacon, and rolled it up tight.

ummmmmmmmm $20 of pork product…. gggggggggggghhhhhhhhh

I’ve got $20! Gotta run…see ya!

I have returned from personal business in Minneapolis and just want to give a shout out to my friends at Pham’s Deli in the Midtown Global Market.

I ordered my favorite, Chicken Curry, and was not disappointed. I also tried a few others while I was sequestered in the nearby Sheridan, all win raves. I only went during the “cook to order” time, so I don’t know about the lunch heatlamp specials.

Just fantastic! I haven’t had such good Asian food since I lived in San Francisco.

Now it finally makes sense! It turns out Julia Child was a spy for the OSS during World War 2.

I always wondered why she used so much butter and heavy cream in her recipes, now we know …

She must have had a license to kill…

This is just beyond my ability to rationalize, and that says a lot!

My office is getting web-camed up and I just got my webcam from IT. Its the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 and it came in the packaging below:

All that packaging for a camera that (without included stand) is smaller than a notebook micro-mouse. If you include all the parts that are actually used, its still smaller than my standard Microsoft [spit] mouse.

Oh… I forgot the CD…

I’m no enviro-nutcase but, dam people all that crap is already on it’s was to a landfill…

(P.S.) Why yes, I did take that picute with the webcam.
