Dollar Menu Challenge: Jr. Cheeseburger Delux

Taste: 8/10 This burger stands with the crowd when it comes to taste and flavor.  The meat tastes like meat, the veggies mostly taste like veggies, but their sauce will rock your world.

Texture: 8/10  Is crispyness a word? I didn't think so, but I'm gunna use it here.  The crispyness of the toppings along with the juicyness of the patty is sublime.

Preparation: 6/10 this burger took FOREVER to get.  I was the only one in line and it took close to five minutes when all was said and done and it STILL came out looking kind of all over the place.  The lettuce was sticking out of one side, the tomato another, not a great way to stack a patty.

Appearance: 8/10 When looked at in comparison to all the other burgers, the Jr. Cheeseburger Delux is definitely the over all winner.


Overall: I'd give Wendy's Jr. Cheeseburger Delux 7.5/10, STEALING SECOND PLACE from the BK. Stacker.  The competition just heated up, boys.

Dollar Menu Challenge: BK Stacker

Don't drive off the road when you notice your dollar BACON!

Taste: 8/10 BACON is the only reason the BK Stacker is getting an 8.  Aside from the bacon mine just tasted like their mayo sauce- seeing as it was swimming in it.  The burger was more or less tasteless (so much for the grill).
Texture: 7/10 Bacon is good, bacon so thick in parts that I had to rip the burger like a rabid possum, not so good.
Preparation: 9/10 BACON. For $1.
Appearance: 7/10 Cute looking burger. You can see the bacon sticking out of it.

Overall: I'd give this an 7/10. It’s cheap, it has bacon, it’s generally tasty.  HOWEVER There’s only one patty, and bland uneven texture.

The Wine Diaries

This will be attached to my hand for the next week.

So this week I'm gunna have to switch things up a little bit.  This week I won't really be having the munchies, I'll be having the DRUNCHIES.  You heard me right.  Bitch gonna be drankin this week.

My friend Tucker is coming down next week so when pay day rolled around this week I decided to stock up.  I bought a really nice, expensive, BOX of wine (I consider $25 for the equivalent of 4 bottles to be a lot). I was so excited for Tucker coming down and to try my new Black Box Malbec that I couldn't actually open the box.  Like my thumbs were not strong enough.  I decided to take it out of the stoneage and use a tool.  I chose a knife.

You can imagine what happened next.  There was a geyser of red wine first at me, then as I spun frantically, all over my kitchen.  It looked like I killed a man.  I took off all my clothes and threw them in the washer, then ruined all of my and my roommate's towels picking up the mess. SORRY PAUL!  I managed to get the wine sealed back up temporarily using the "reseal the bag" technique that I know you all are professionals at.  However, when I went to pick the bag up again it burst.

I ended up funneling the wine into 3 bottles that Paul had laying around.  PRoblem with wine is that it only lasts a week after it's been exposed to air.  As of today it'll be 9 days till Tucker gets here.  The wine has to be consumed.  That's why this week we're having the Wine Diaries, which I hope to be more boozy and authentic than that Rum Diaries bullshit.  Well, here we go.

Dollar Menu Challenge: The McDouble

After tax it's 1.06. The dime's for emphasis.

The McDouble has for me, as with all stoners, a special place of my heart.  Bun, 2 slices of cheese, 2 patties, mustard, ketchup, onions and pickles have been put together for your stoned bliss.  But could this be the best $1 burger?


 High Thought: Have you ever noticed that all of the faces on the coins are facing left but Lincoln is facing right?


Without further adieu I present: The McDouble!
Cost: $1.00, $1.06 with tax

Taste: 9/10 it's meaty and, cheezy. Plus the onions, pickle, and mustard give it a good bite.
Texture: 9/10 soft, easy to bite and chew, and consistent.
Preparation: 8/10 all the necessary parts are there and it was well assembled. Easy to hold in one hand while holding a J in the other.
Appearance: 6/10 The McDouble is a thing of beauty, but it's not a visual beauty.

Overall: I'd give this an 8/10 for the Dollar Menu Challenge.

Guess what I found in the clearance section of my Acme grocery store! The new official 420 No Money apron!

TIMBER!!!! Fallout Dinner.

Today I went for a killer bike ride.  Like... I thought I might die biking up these Chester County hills.  So when I staggered back into my apartment today I needed something that would fill me- pronto.  Unfortunately I didn't really seem to have anything that was both, fast, delicious, and easy on hand- so I made something.

The other week I saw a recipe for eggs cooked in a spicy, middle eastern style tomato sauce.  That sounds a little beyond my capacities at the moment.  This is what I did instead:

Middle East Fallout:

Ingredients:
2 cups pasta sauce
3 eggs
Hot Sauce
Your Favorite Spices

 
1.) Heat the pasta sauce, spices, and (optional) Parmesan cheese to bubbling in a frying pan.
2.) When the pasta sauce boils crack the eggs into the pan.
3.) Beat one of the eggs into the sauce and leave the others to cook.
4.) Put two slices of bread into the toaster.
5.) put cooked eggs and sauce onto the toast and ENJOY! It's soo gooey and delicious.

LEFT OVERS IDEA!

Add some of that cooked rice you know you have in the fridge to the eggy mix. I threw a slice of cheddar in for good measure.
