My $0.99
At our supermarket last night, Mrs. Smith's frozen pies were on sale for $2.99 each. be's most favorite pie in the world is Mrs. Smith's apple, so we grabbed two and proceeded to the checkout with our other items. Upon scanning, they came up as $2.99 but then -$1.00, PLUS we had a -$2.00/2 pies coupon! We paid $0.99 for each of our pies! Our only regret is that our freezer can't hold anymore.For dinner be made red chard quiche to use up another green. I'm afraid to look in the lettuce bag but the other greens seem to be doing okay in giant Ziplocks. The quiche was really good, and simpler to make because we used a pre-made crust. He also found some recipes for "corn nuggets" online and we experimented with one of them in an attempt to re-create those Random House fritters. The batch was good, but in our opinion "too bready" so be added a can of creamed corn to the batter. This extra liquid made the fritters flatter and crispier, but so oily that we named them "Oilies."
I love watching the Food Network, but that "Iron Chef America" looks like the stupidest show. Why even bother? I didn't watch the Flay/Batali/Puck v Morimoto/Sakai they aired last year, but i sure do remember those racist ads plastered all over the subway. In it, were F/B/P each brandishing weapons like a meat tenderizer, rolling pin and leg of lamb, ready, i suppose, to "do battle" against those "other" Iron Chefs. It looked like a bunch of white guys were gonna lynch mob some Asian guys. I'm sure if there were ads of M/S ready to beat the shit out of a bunch of white guys (M/S's weapons would be a giant daikon radish and chopsticks, and they'd be in martial arts poses), everyone would scream, "Reverse racism!" or at least say, "This ad campaign is unbelievable. White guys will always win because we've beat people for centuries!" OR chant, "U! S! A! U! S! A! U! S! A! U! S! A!"
The only redeeming thing looks like Masaharu Morimoto. Has anyone ever been to Nobu when he was head chef? Or eaten at Morimoto in Philly?
