Philly Cooking Cream- wtf is this stuff? Am I the only one that finds the words “cooking cream” disgusting sounding?
Fruit2day- “part rich juice, part real fruit bits” Or something like that. Why don’t you just eat real fruit? It has juice in it AND real fruit bits. And it’s real food!
meats in cans- I mean, I don’t eat any meat, but I might someday. Just not from a can.
Manwich- Mostly it’s the commercials that piss me off. “a serving of vegetables in every manwich!” No! Don’t feed this to your kids! Shit like this preys on uneducated parents that want to feed their kids healthy stuff. Just because the manwich commercial says it has a serving of vegetables in it doesn’t mean it’s healthy. Don’t do it! It doesn’t even say what vegetables it has in it, wouldn’t you think that would be a little bit important? Also, anything that says “whole grains!” on the package. Oh hey, these cheezits say they have whole grains in them, that means I can eat the whole box and be healthy, right?
I’m not trying to rant about what you should or shouldn’t eat. To prove my point, here is a list of foods that most people would find revolting that I thoroughly enjoy:
Gas station nachos- or really anything with that fake nacho cheese sauce
Tofurky- the hickory smoke flavor mmmmmmmm
easy mac- or velveeta shells and cheese. I guess you could say I have a soft spot for fake cheese
Cottage cheese- relatively healthy, but still mostly unpopular
Hey it’s 7:30 and it’s not completely dark out! I’ve made it through another winter….When the weather starts getting warm I seriously have this thought every day. Like winter is this big, insurmountable thing, and somehow I’ve managed to conquer it. I mean, it’s not like it happens every year or anything. Or that I technically live in the south, so my winter is nothing compared to some people’s. When we all suck it up and lose an hour of sleep to spring forward, it feels official. I congratulate myself for surviving. I feel this sense of accomplishment every day. All though I shouldn’t give myself too much credit, since I do still have Christmas lights and garland up on my front porch.
I went to my parents house for a much needed visit yesterday. They live in the country, and even though it’s only 45 minutes away, I almost always stay the night because it makes it seem like a little vacation away from the city. My mom and I were watching tv, and commenting on a Las Vegas commercial that we both felt the same way about. (We don’t understand the appeal of going to Vegas. At all.) My father walks by, and over hearing the conversation says to my mom, “remember when we won that trip to vegas but never got to go?” Just the thought of my parents in vegas makes me laugh. I can’t think of anyone more un-vegas like than my parents. Well, back in 1986 my parents bought their first new car. I was a toddler,with a baby sister on the way, and they made the smart decision to trade in the hand me down Cadillac for a family car. They got a wood paneled Chevy Silverado station wagon. The dealership was offering a promo of a free trip to Las Vegas with the purchase of a brand new car. Apparently, they never made good on this offer. My dad is not one to let things go, and after weeks of phone calls he resorted to personal visits to the dealership. Every day. Until they finally sent him into the owner’s office. The man pulled out his wallet and handed my dad 300 dollars cash, and asked him never to come back. I guess he was satisfied, and to this day neither one of my parents have ever been to Las Vegas. How come I don’t hear these stories until I’m 26 years old?
ps. I know I have not written anything in 6 months. Maybe I’ll be better now.
Most times I can lay in bed internetting and I am so comfy I fall asleep in like 20 minutes. But sometimes, this does not work and my back starts to hurt so I move pillows around and it’s still not right so I just keep internetting and readjusting and I still cannot fall asleep.
