It's been a lot of rain

[cornerofmadness]

Like a lot. Like buckets. The dog birthday party was canceled. We did go out with my brother and SiL for the parentals' anniversary and my upcoming birthday. It wasn't bad. Got to play with their crazed kitten.

My brother taped my leg up to see if part of this pain is a fibular nerve entrapment.

Last night Dad liked my hair (because inside it looks brown) but tonight outside noticed hey it's violet and of course it becomes 'you sure know how to attract attention to yourself.' (i.e. how dare you?) Did not engage.


I found a few fun things mostly for spikesgirl58 but I think we can all 'enjoy' these.

As for this one, I want to know what combo of drugs you're on to come up with this combo. And also what possessed anyone to publish this recipe.


Speaking of I can't believe they published it, here a easy dinner for when you h ate your family of 4

For the first recipe - I think if we took away the mayonnaise and replaced the donut with a bagel that might actually be eatable? Cottage cheese would likely balance the sweet/sour note of the prunes reasonably well, so if we didn't have added sweetness (from the donut) or more fat (from the mayonnaise)... could work. Not that I'd want to ruin the ingredients by giving it a try when I could use them for better results in a different recipe. But still.

For the second recipe - why?! If you're trying to sell your cream of mushrooms soup and it's not supposed to stay a soup - tell people to eat it with rice and a touch of parmesan. Maybe add a couple of cherry tomatoes and parsley to improve on the colour on your plate. But don't completely ruin the product you're trying to sell by telling people to make something absolutely disgusting. (Unless the product is disgusting and you want people to blame the recipe.)

You might be right with replacing the donut with a bagel but cottage cheese doesn't seem like a good cheese to use on a sandwich

as for the other soup thing I have NO idea what was going on with that but it was nothing good

[sysann]

Oh but it's not a sandwich, I don't have any idea what could've possibly given you that idea! Don't you see that it's a salad? The donut happens to be a little incentive for your "meat and potato" man to eat his cottage cheese prunes donut salad. (I wonder if they're taking the piss regarding vegetarianism? Asking someone who'd eat potatoes to have donuts instead sounds counter-intuitive.)

The thing I find fascinating about that whole thing is that its purpose is to sell you the mushroom soup. But there's no point in telling people that it's an easy and quick meal to make if the result makes you feel sick just looking at it.

[cornerofmadness]

oh yeah I think I was thnking about the donut bun hamburgers

and the best part this isn't the only example of this from Campbell's

[sysann]

(I'm absolutely amazed that anyone could possibly call it a salad.)

Maybe the people they've hired to do their advertisements just really, really hate the company?

[cornerofmadness]

haha, right? Even jello salads make more sense than this

snort, maybe they do. Too bad that food horror open call's deadline is passed

[sysann]

I mean, after consulting wikipedia, there are apparently bread salads as a sub-category, but they look nothing like that... creation.

Maybe write one and wait for the next time something akin comes along? It does sound like a perfect inspiration.

[cornerofmadness]

yeah that is not a bread salad. It's just wrong

I am considering it, maybe about a YTuber who makes these recipes for kitsch

[sysann]

True!

Excellent. Or maybe it's a loyalty test? Like "hey if you're true fans, you'll send me pictures of this awesome new recipe I came up with"? It does sound like it'd be fun to develop the sort of person who'd come up with recipes like this in any case.

[cornerofmadness]

ha thats a good idea too

[sysann]

Hope you'll have lots of fun with whichever route you take!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks
