Frozen Dinners
Cool Stuff June 5th, 2006I bet you’re all dying to know what I’m eating for lunch today. I’m dying to eat it anyway.
I haven’t had a lot of time to make my own food because I’ve been filling most of my free time with writing. So lately I’ve become a connoisseur of fine frozen dinners.
Most of the time I’m eating frozen dinners that cost anywhere from $.75 to $1.50. I’ve found that Michelina’s fine frozen food does the job for this.
Some of my favorites (the following links just show pictures and descriptions; I’m not advertising nor am I getting paid for talking about their food—I’m just doing this because I think frozen dinners are cool. Plus, I would probably die of starvation if they had never been invented) :
Salisbury Steak
Lasagna Alfredo
Lasagna with Meat Sauce
But today I’m eating my absolute favorite frozen dinner ever (so far). Amy’s kitchen makes fine frozen (organic!) dinners. Not that I really care about it being organic (most “organic” food is a coverup for buying foreign produce), but man is this stuff good, and I love feeling like I’m eating somewhere near healthy.
Tender organic peas and Indian cheese in an authentic delicately spiced sauce. Golden carrots, onions and cumin add flavor and color to the organic basmati rice. Curried chana masala made with organic garbanzo beans and sweet tomatoes round out this delicious meal.
I bought it at Wal-Mart earlier today.
I also did my normal tour of their book section. Of course, with the new X-Men movie out, there were a lot of books on the shelf trying to ride the wave of the movie’s success. One of these novels, by Pocket Books in association with Paramount entertainment, had a picture of Wolverine on the cover . . . and Worf from Star Trek: the Next Generation.
I did a double take. Sure, comic books have been doing crossovers for a while. Even movies have gotten into it, like Alien vs. Predator, which I never saw—for good reason.
But X-Men and Star Trek? That just seems weird to me.
Personally, I’m waiting for the Conan / Carebears crossover, which I hear is in production.

Friendship Bear would so kick Conan’s butt. And no one messes with Grumpy Bear. No one.

Are you kidding? Conan’s got a sword, and the bear with the heart’s got like a cane and a top hat. Stuffing will fly!

Man, don’t you know about the power of the Care Bear Stare? It’s like a saccharine cannon!

Remember in Care Bears Episode 54 when the Care Bear Stare was thwarted by Gargamel using a reflective mirror?
Well Conan’s sword is just as shiny and reflective. The Care Bear Stare has no power over him! It just makes him angrier. He’d win this fight hands down.
Gargamel? I’m getting my crossovers confused again.

Oh man, I just realized I got into an argument about which fictional character would win in a fight. I promised myself I would never do that. Bugger.
Besides, Gemini, the evil wizard from Thundarr the Barbarian, could destroy Conan, the Care Bears, Gargamel, the Smurfs, not to mention Captain Planet and the Mighty Orbots, all with just a glance.
I’m sure Neil Gaiman would agree with me.
