Oh, Craigslist.

Sometimes people who are funny get on Craigslist, and they make a funny post. This is one.

--Click this guy right here--

SO then I decided to make one of my own:



Boom.

Things I've Learned / Things I Know

- Brett Michaels is a zombie.
- Yankees are the anti christ.
- Clocks that make noise every hour should be outlawed and burned at town square.
- Water is the best thing in the world, ever.
- Happiness is not a warm gun, Lennon/McCartney.
- Having a sexual attraction for a fake serial killer would be considered a 'problem'. But really, how can you NOT like Dexter Morgan?
- Every time I see a band I liked long before everyone else on VH1 or MTV, I die a little inside. Also, I think every time that happens an actual Hipster dies too.
- I don't care how much wood a woodchuck can chuck. It doesn't involve me.
- I miss my parents.
- I still don't understand why women like guys who sound like women when they sing.
- long tailed sylph = coolest bird in all the land.
- Seinfeld is funny.
- If you don't sleep with pillows you don't deserve to sleep in a bed.
- If you own all of the Saw's you should be curb stomped.


And now your daily dose of 'Awwww':

Wild rice so-- erm. I mean Black Japonica soup.

Someone went and did something stupid. I couldn't find the wild rice brand I wanted, so I asked a random and picked up the bag of rice (that I purchased) and said its cheaper and tastes the same.

I started cooking my soup today.
I put the Japonica into the water.
I walked away to go get the chicken bouillon.
I turned back to the pot and saw this:



Pitch black water. I stared at it for a while thinking Tim Curry would pop out of it (think 'Fern Gully'), decided to take a picture of it then googled the shit out of "Black Japonica" and I got this:

http://recipes.wikia.com/wiki/Black_japonica_rice

So, do I make this rice into a thicker soup? Or should I go to the grocery store and buy actual wild rice?

The dangerous side of me wants to try and make this Asian rice into an amazing soup.
But the Indian in me is getting very pissed off.


UPDATE!!: The soup is possibly the best I've made, ever. And its better than any 'wild rice' soup I've had. Yes, even better than Lund's. I think its the local heavy whipping cream I used. Mmmmmm.

Boredom.




This is what boredom looks like.
I laid half on the couch with my legs on the wall. Because I'm a regular human being and thats what regular humans do when they want to 'chillax'.

So, tomorrow I'll be making home made wild rice soup. It'll be my first time trying so lets hope that goes well. I'm kind of sick of eating pita, hummus, whole wheat bread, nutella, greek yogurt, salad, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. But I will never, I repeat.....NEVER get sick of eating those Limon chips. I will seriously eat them like they are going out of style because my luck, they'll discontinue them or stop carrying them at my local ghettomart.

Random: Next week I'm thinking of tackling home made pizza. With of course trader Joe's pizza dough. I tried it once, and now I have acid-flashback-esque well uhm, flashbacks of it.

More random: I bought a dragon fruit. I've never had dragon fruit. If its anything like the best fruit ever to grace this planet I'll be pleased. Also, next time I go to The Wedge I'll be picking up miniature kiwis. I remember I stopped eating kiwis because I had an allergic reaction when I was 12, but hey....I can get past the itchy tongue, throat, and dry mouth.

Watching:

+This season of Dexter makes me mad. But I nominate Micheal C. Hall for being the most sexually attractive ginger in all the land.

+GLEE. GLEE. -insert something teenie bopperish I would have said 10 years ago-

+I started watching Arrested Development again since my reoccuring crush on Will Arnett is at a firey all-time high. Plus I missed it, and I cannot wait for the movie.

+Holy....holy, South Park. Matt Parker and Trey Stone want to get shot. I think making obnoxious over the top cartoons is a plea from them both. They want to get shot. If you didn't watch tonights episode, I suggest you keep an open mind and realize it isn't 'too soon' anymore. You'll understand what I meant after you watch it. There, I just gave you a homework assignment.

+Minnesota sports break my metaphorical balls.


Tata for now.

Chip Count

As I was gallivanting around my new neighborhood I noticed a corner market, its doors and windows caged like there should be animals inside of it. The individuals spilling out were a combination of Gary Busey and your typical hipster kid. Curious, like a cat I went inside.

I always liked corner markets. Some call them ghetto, I call them miniature diamonds in the rough. If I didn't go inside I wouldn't have found the epic plethora of chips they had on display. I'm not a chip gal, per say but I do enjoy a crispy treat from time to time. I stood there and picked one out....then another..and another....

Needless to say I picked 4 bags. SO, I guess for the time being I am a chip gal.

Now I shall rate them on taste, bag creativity, bag smell, crispiness, chip size and addictiveness.

Kettle Brand Spicy Thai



Bag Creativity: It looks like a 3rd grader with MS Paint did it. Yes if you enjoy simplicity by all means, love this bag. But I do love the color red.
Bag Smell: Thai-y. You can spot on smell the ginger right off the bat.
Crispiness: Its kettle cooked so you'd expect a nice crunch. And that, you do.
Chip Size: Nothing too snazzy, regular sized chips, the kind you'd expect thats kettle cooked.
Taste: Each bite you taste another flavor, just like in thai food it has many spices. Which leads me to...
Addictiveness: You'll want to eat the whole bag, but the grease factor sets in and being the smart person you are you'll settle for about 5 handfuls.

Sylvia's Honey Jalapeño


Bag Creativity: It makes me feel weird. Since there are Packers and Vikings colors on the bag. Sylvia, you must be a Saints fan. But I guess Sylvia is the "Queen Of Soul Food" welp, last time I checked chips aren't full of soul.
Bag Smell: Smells like chips. I'm kind of bored with it.
Crispiness: Not that crispy, kind of feels like you're biting into a soft pillow that melts in your mouth. My soul feels lifted. (Good job, Syl.)
Chip Size: Most of them are about the size of a 8 month year olds fist. (sorry only thing I could really compare it to)
Taste: Nothing too snazzy here, has a bit of a bite to it but the honey evens the spice out nicely.
Addictiveness: I wouldn't sit down and eat a whole bag of these. BUT, Sylvia you did a good job.


Vinter's "The Original" "Louisiana" The Perfect HOT SAUCE 'One Drop Does It' Potato Chips!!




Bag Creativity: First off, awesome product placement. I saw this bag and I automatically got excited. But then I read its "naturally delicious"....wait. How so? Now I'm confused. Also, it seems like "V" from V For Vendetta also sponsors these chips. THEN you got this guy:

There is so much business on this bag I don't think I want to eat these chips anymore. I mean, this guy here Vinnie is sweating. I don't want to sweat while I eat. My dad does that and its disgusting.
Bag Smell: It smells like Louisiana Hot Sauce. My nose now has a vendetta against me. Ooooooh, I see why the "V" is there now.
Crispiness: It has a good ol fashioned crunch. Not the chip that'll rip the roof of your mouth like Cap'n Crunch.
Chip Size: I think I sat on this bag....moving on.
Taste: SPICY. Just like its sauce form it makes your mouth feel tingly.
Addictiveness: If I could put chicken on these, I would.

Lays Limón


Bag Creativity: I love the green. The awkwardness that is chips near limes sucked me into buying this bag. I mean really? Lime? Seriously? Is this real life?
Bag Smell: Smells like a regular ol' bag of Lays.
Crispiness: Has that light crispy airness that we all know and love.
Chip Size: You know how it goes with lays, crumbles on the bottom that are mini jihad's to your gumline, regular sized chips and about 4 Andre The Giant chips.
Taste: Oh my god. Oh. My. God. This is bliss, where have these been my whole life!? I want to bathe in them. No, I really don't but....you get the idea.
Addictiveness: This bag is now gone, and I'm automatically sad about this. So more of these need to be bought. MAS LIMON PAPITAS FRITAS, POR FAVOR! You must find these, and consume them. Thank me later.
