Preserved Topic: chicken pot pie (Page 1 of 1)

I went to the fridge to get something for dinner and there was actually some chicken pot pies in there! I thought "Cool, haven't had one of these since I was a kid I bet!" so I pulled it out and ripped it open and found that aluminum pie plate on it. I was flabbergasted, taken aback, beside myself even; I knew right away that this was not microwavable. Then, with a feeling of dread I turned it over to look at the cooking instructions, PREHEAT?! cook 30-35 MINUTES?!

Pretend that was you, what are you feeling at this point?

Jason

threep drools and says:
"mmmmm.... cold chicken pie....."

I'm thinking, "Screw the foil and the instructions, plop that sucker in a bowl and nuke it."

One more dead chicken... and for what!?!?!? hee hee just a little veggie-tarian humor there.

I would be thinking there has to be something easier and quicker to cook around here somewhere! I would also be thinking that this is the year 2001 and how did I get time warped to the past??? Then I would hear the Twilight Zone music.

Jason, so what did you end up doing?

Stuff waiting 30-35 mins. Stick the little blighter in the microwave, it still cooks them its just that they come out all soggy. Still better than waiting.

On a side note, one of my wifes best purchases last year was a combination microwave/oven/grill. It's fantastic, you can nuke stuff so that it cooks real fast, but also have the oven/grill going at the same time so that is crisps up the pastry etc. You can even cook bacon and eggs in it for those lazy breakfast in bed kinda days.

Get one. . . .

Ah, trixter, bacon and eggs. *sigh* Food of the gods, my friend, food of the gods.

Trouble is, I'm on a health kick at the moment (see post in ozone forum) so I've had to cut the bacon and eggs out for a bit. Damn I hate growing older and fatter, need to eat bacon , hhhhmmm!!!! somebody get me bacon please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sends young trainee out to shops to buy healthy apple instead*


EDIT: yeeehaaa! finally made my quarter-century post

oh, fuck all.....non-microwavable chicken pot pies.....

what's the world coming to?? I mean, what's the point? It's not like chicken pot pies are *actually* good food....they're just quick, easy, nasty little things that fill your need for fat.....

I'm with you JK......I feel for you

Well, since you asked...

My initial internal reaction would parallel Mistah Foatey Fo almost to the letter, add to it the overwhelming urge to slap my wife silly for buying such an abomination (what *was* she thinking?). Needless to say I was as equally shocked at my own reaction, and got a handle on it before anything bad came of it, my wife is truly my better half after all

This tin plate and nanosecond of irrational rage set off a whole train of thought that took me from:

"America the beautiful and most wasteful nation on earth" as I considered chuckin' that breaded chicken brick in the ever-expanding rubbish bin and looking for easier prey.

to

"Time is indeed the enemy" as I considered the day, the week, the month... my Mondays through Fridays are completely booked with activity from rise to fall and the weekends are rarely any better as far as "time to think" goes... 30-35 minutes? C'mon.

to

"When did 30 minutes become an unbearable wait for food" as I considered the well, the wait. Does my stomach crave and cave that quickly? No. What's wrong with me that I don't have the patience to wait 30 minutes for food that will sustain my body?

to

"I could afford to skip a meal" people all over the world eat a whole pantload less than I do on a daily basis. I imagine that the food I eat daily could be shared among 3 or 4 people in a less fortunate country and actually sustain them, give them life.

to

"why am I thinking about all this?" it's a frickenchickenpotpie!!!

So I did the truly American thing and popped it in the oven (didn't wanna be wasteful), then proceeded to the freezer to lay hands on a frozen delight that *was* microwavable, and cooked and ate it (I was hungry). Then I went and sat in front of my beast of a computer and plugged in a playlist of songs I needed to practice for church (on my fairly expensive guitar). Then I surfed the 'net a little and hung around the Asylum of course, trying to keep up with you prolific chit-chatters. Then my wife pops in and says, "Don't forget you have something in the oven". Doh! Figuring I had burned it, I went to pull it out and toss that ball of breaded chicken slop into the ever-expanding rubbish bin. It was golden brown and in perfect eating condition. It had been 50 minutes! Whatever... I ate it, it sucked (but it brought back memories).

I am spoiled, I have way more than I need. I'm not rich by any means but my every need is met and then some.

Moral:
Chicken pot pie will make you feel bad about yourself, don't buy any.

Throw the damn thing in the oven and eat some fucking chips or something.

Shut the fuck up with that 'chips' shit! We're talking chicken pot fucking pie.

now get back in the whole you crawled out of before I send twitch^ after your dog again.

I had my dog's asshole sewn shut and a colostomy performed on it. So bring it on twitchy.

I'm talking chips in the meantime. Its only 30 freakin minutes.

yeah, well 30 minutes (and might I interject, it took *50* minutes for poor JK's pie to cook properly) might not be a lot to you punks with nothing else to do but play with dreamweaver (hehehe), but to those of us with busy schedules, 30 minutes is a long time to wait for sone shitty ass tasting crap with 3 days worth of fat intake in it.....


and uh, word on the street is...twitch is down with the whole colostamy bag thing.....he'll fuck your dog any way

3 days of fat? really?

Jason

well, no. not really. but they've got, like, more than half a days worth. which is plenty I'd say....
