As I sit here and attempt to eat my first ever portion of “stew”, I am reminded of the things that you can learn from cardboard.
I discovered this weekend a way to perk up my strawberry shakes. Along with ice and water I added 5 frozen blue berries, a smidgen of wheat grass and 2 tsps of pomegranate juice. I figured it would be my version of a jamba juice. It actually reminded me of one, so please don’t spoil my strawberry delusions! However my delusions of grandure were deflated this morning when I realized that my beloved wheat grass does NOT go with chocolate! Every whif and every sip on my way to work, smelled and tasted like something my horse should be eating. I am not a hippie or yuppie, nor do I live in the vortex known as Davis CA, so I will NOT be combining these again.
The bars are good, so I will be ordering MANY of these on my next order because….for lunch….
I was carrying the cup in front of me as I walked from the lunch room and back to my hell hole of a desk. I smelled something familiar, but it surely didn’t remind me of ‘stew’. I thought maybe I was following a fart trail. I got back to my desk and set it on my candle warmer for it’s indeterminate amount of ‘soak time’ that supposedly makes all this crap edible…..while I completed a call with a client. The odor became a little stronger and it hit me……it smells perilously close to dog food. At that whif, I figured I better just salt it now, so the first sip is at least salty flavored dog food. So there I sit, staring into my cup, praying to my creator, that it doesn’t taste like dog food. I figured I would start with the broth…whew that is OK. Then I tried what I can only assume is a potato as it is white, yet it tastes like a freeze dried pea. Not bad, I can tolerate those. Now for the ‘beef’. …….remember that commercial ‘where’s the beef’? Well I think it is in the dog food can, and the dog food is in my bowl! My saving grace is that there aren’t that many pieces, the chunks are small, and I was able to slurp them up quickly and be done with them. I think if ever you could manufacture barf….this would be it!
