Ive always thought at times my family feels sorry for me. They often send me home with more groceries than I need or bring me things I'll never wear...but now Im convinced that they are trying to kill me.
I just ate one of the worst things I had in YEARS! It was a meal where you 'just add water' and it was given to me by my mother. I didnt really think I was going to use it, but I thought, 'hey, if Im in a pinch, it cant be that bad'...and so today I was trying to make room in the pantry for some home-grown home-canned veggies and I had these two 'just add water' boxes occupying a large amount of space. So I decided it better to use them than throw them away. From time to time, Im wrong. And today was one of those days.
The first was a chicken n biscuit with potato thingy. My 8x8 pan rolled its eyes at me as I put in the potato flakes which, for the record, I have never used in my life! They are quite the science experiment, I felt like I was suddenly in the Jetsons and Rosie was going to pop through the retractable door to finish the job!
I poured over the can of 'gravy', mixed the 'biscuits' and put it in the oven.
It looked ok...not much different then when it went in. I got the distinct impression that the oven was just a formality though. I could have just ate the packaging and had a better dinning experience. Blech!
The second is a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. After my first encounter, Im kinda afraid to eat it...
I feel its rather condescending to give advice after my little diatribe. But I will say, I need to seriously reevaluate my relationship with my mother because Im now convinced I must have made her very angry lately! ;)
Dont Enjoy!
