Flash back 24 hours…I’m at Walmart grocery shopping for the weekend, I know it’s going to be brutally cold and I won’t want to go out foraging in a Polar Vortex, so I have to purchase enough meals to see me through the aforementioned weekend.
I had my steak burgers and T-Bones and stood perusing side entrees, my favorite being Green Giant Broccoli and Cheese Steamers, so I snagged two of those. Oh wait…this is something I haven’t seen before…Green Giant Italian Herb Steamers that listed on the package, broccoli, white rice, carrots, black beans, wild rice & red bell peppers in an Italian herb sauce. My mind whispered…~That would look just like Szechuan Chicken if it also included chicken!~…my mouth watered, I wanted Szechuan Chicken…so…I snagged one package of Green Giant Italian Herb Steamers and went in search of chicken.
As fate would have it, a mere two freezer doors down I found T.G.I. Friday’s Boneless Chicken Bites with Honey BBQ Sauce. The Honey BBQ Sauce posed no threat, I simply wouldn’t use it and in it’s stead pour the Green Giant Italian Herb Steamer over the T.G.I Friday’s Boneless Chicken Bites, producing what I had hoped would be a homemade Szechuan Chicken…it looked right…know what I mean? In any event…
I made this not but an hour ago…it’s terrible…not even close to Szechuan Chicken. Feeling a little foolish, I thought perhaps I could save this…this…dish…so…here’s what I did…
I fished the Honey BBQ Sauce out of the trash…rinsed off the plastic packaging in the sink…microwaved 1 minute and then poured that over my failed homemade Szechuan Chicken…*shakes head*…nope…no…that made it worse.
I’m short one meal.
Nurse…”Do you ever experience blurred vision?”
Me…”No.”
Nurse…”Do you experience dizziness when getting out of bed or standing quickly?”
Me…”No.”
Nurse…”Does heart disease run in your family?”
Me…”No.”
Nurse…””Do you ever think about killing yourself, or the people around you?”
Me…”Everyday.”
Nurse…”…*smiles*…”
Me…”What kind of fucking question is that?!”
Nurse…”I know, there’s a few really strange questions on this list.”
Me…”…Yeah…”
