Sorry Yan, But You Can't Cook
If you've known me for a while, you would be very proud of what I did tonight: I went on an Asian cooking extravaganza (this is coming from the guy who had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch every day last year). I had a great peanut/coconut noodle bowl with seasoned chicken at a restaurant a few weeks ago and wondered if I could recreate it cheaper at home. I got thin noodles, coconut milk, peanut oil, boneless chicken breasts, a splash of soy sauce, Emeril's Asian Essence, walnuts, and baby corn. The end result wasn't perfect, but it was certainly the best tasting thing I've ever cooked on my own. Yeah, it even tops my egg and cheese croissant sandwiches.
On March 5-7, McDonald's (ba da ba ba ba) will be giving away one million dollars to fifteen random people all across the country. So if you go eat at McDonald's this weekend, you have a one in a gazillion chance of becoming a millionaire. But this contest is a direct reaction to a lawsuit accusing McDonald's of rigging their promotional games (like the Monopoly peel-offs). Apparently they admitted that the biggest prize pieces weren't seeded out randomly; they were given to friends of high-ranking employees. This scandal reeks of that fat lavender lump, Grimace. Handouts to friends much, you chubby heliotrope? I'm pretty sure that tricked-out Bentley didn't just fall into Mayor McCheese's lap.
Everyone else in the world has linked to these, but I'll do it anyway: episodes one, two and three of the Mario Brothers saga. Two more are on the way.
