I have no shame in the learning process. As I’ve said before, just by mere observation, men don’t know how to grocery shop. As for myself, having relied most of my entire life on my mother’s grocery shopping decisions, I hadn’t released how difficult it is to balance a good diet and budget. My target is to spend around $50 and eat for at least a week or two. Anyway, here’s yet another one of my receipts from today’s grocery shopping experience at Walmart: (more…)

Don’t say I’m not an American patriot when I tell you Hardee’s Memorial Day themed sandwich the Most American Thickburger isn’t anything special. Maybe Hardee’s can hook in those true blue Americans with the novelty of a Memorial Day picnic slapped together as a single sandwich consisting of standard Thickburger ingredients but with the addition of a split hotdog and kettle cooked potato chips. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think Hardee’s food lab was run by a bunch of kindergarteners. Might as well add Play-doh and marshmallows too. I kid, I kid (no, I don’t kid). (more…)

Dayum. It’s good. Hardee’s El Diablo Thickburger is a winner.
The El Diablo sandwich consists of toasted bun, third pound angus beef patty, habanero sauce, bacon, jalapeno slices, pepper jack cheese, and jalapeno poppers. Melts in your mouth good. Then the habanero sauce kicks in to give it a nice balance kick of spicy. The jalapenos, I believe, are also pickled to give it a nice tangy flavor. It’s not super spicy like how Hardee’s claims it is (that’s just their marketing using reverse psychology). But unlike their failed Jimmy Beam experiment, the El Diablo knocks it out the park.
Battle of the Century: Little Debbie Figbars vs. Newtons (formerly known as Fig Newtons)
There is a winner. Do you agree with the one I chose?
Having leftover Jolly Rancher hard candy in bulk, I realize I can convert it into drinking form. It works!!!

My fucking god, seriously? What a dumb cunt. It’s a goddamn Chinese supermarket! She’s lucky she didn’t find a giant tiger penis jerky stick hanging there.
I happen to love rodent meat, including squirrel meat. I take offense to this stupidity simply because I’m Asian. But also because there’s some ignorance behind going into a Chinese supermarket, who as it turns out has been legally allowed to sell raccoon meat for YEARS, is just now getting the fearmongering because of a dumbass.
It’s a CHINESE supermarket, stupid! What do you expect?
