I have now reached the infomercial purchases stage of unemployment

[sunstruck]

Yup. I ordered that pasta pot with the holes in the lid so you can drain the water out without using a collander.

It's only a matter of time before I have the entire Ron PoPeale catalogue AND the George Forman kitchen extravaganza.

 

[glamorilla]

does this mean you're making dinner too?

 

[Rubyfruit]

I Want that pot!

 

[Pagliacci]

Join the dark side Sunstruck.

So far I've managed to not buy anything though.
I'm so proud of myself.

 

[sunstruck]

Of course I'm cooking doll! lol I'm quite the hommaker when I'm not working 50 hours a week. lol

Tonight we had broiled scallops with steamed broccoli and couscous.

I've been maranating steak tips since this morning that I'll grill up tomorrow.

Hubby LOVES it when I cook. lol


Ruby I'll let you know how they work. I thought it was a brilliant idea and I can't believe no one thought of it before.

I've reached the "OMG I CAN"T SPEND A SINGLE PENNY!" stage of unemployment.

I have been cooking, though. Except tonight. The *thought* of the smell of food cooking was enough to make me wanna hurl.

Tomorrow night will be chicken marinated in garlic-sesame dressing grilled and tossed with pasta and assorted veggies.

I did babyback ribs the night before last, and later this week will be center-cut pork chops in a balsamic vinegar and honey reduction.

I'm getting all the pork products outta my fridge before I have to hit up mom and dad for cash!

 

[Spinaroonie]

I love the commercial

"OH NO! I was a retard and dumped the whole amount of pasta down the drain and my asshole husband is pissed!"

 

[sunstruck]

LOL I was gonna say! That's a lot of swine for a kosher kitten. lol

 

[Nora]

Did I mention the bacon? lol

Nah, I couldn't keep kosher. I love shellfish too much. I'm actually not a huge fan of pork, just cuz it's not something I was used to eating growing up (except in Chinese food, of course).

I've only recently discovered that pork chops aren't required to be breaded with shake & bake and cooked 'til they're dried out and revolting.

Oh, and there's been a change in tomorrow's meal. Hubby has agreed to go out (at 11:30pm even though he has to work tomorrow and I don't) to get me some poblanos. So tomorrow is Chicken in poblano cream sauce. Holy cow this stuff is GOOD!

I'd definitely like a consumer report when it arrives. It sounds like a good idea, but if the implementation is cheap i'd like to know.

Wait until you're off unemployment to give into the Ionic Breeze pitch -- I spent nearly a months rent on the two I just bought and that's for the compact (cheaper) Ionic breeze quadra without the UV light.

So far (about 36 hours of operation) they're living up to the claims made for them.

Oh, I want one of those too! Will you let us know if it actually works like it's supposed to??

 

[Bluesboy2]

The stage that is dangerous

Is the "Maybe I CAN make some money with one of these personal injury lawyers" stage.

 

[Mad_Jack_Rabbit]

I'm at the

"Sod looking for work I'll just take care of the kids and the home and see how long I can keep convincing the missus that ITS good to have a house husband while she goes out to work and earns the money"

 

[RawHumor]

Two words: Turbo Cooker!

 

[Rambrat]

I'm still trying to get used to the idea that Sunstroke cooks...

 

[DarkAngel]

Deep fryer!

 

[Belilica]

Good luck honey, I'm sure they have support groups for that kind of thing... this is why I don't have a credit card

 

[fuzzel]

So tomorrow is Chicken in poblano cream sauce. Holy cow this stuff is GOOD!

I WANT that recipe, please!

 

[brokenbrainwave]

new take out/delivery resturant in the area, eh sunny?

Oh, go for the oxi clean. you drapes are dirty.

 

[Purple Haze]

All I'm wondering is how long it takes for water to boil in a pot with holes in its lid...

 

[brokenbrainwave]

hazey, that is the catch. After her purchase gets there she will quickly understand she's gonna need the Ronco Air Hole Cover. But wait thats not all!!

If she orders in the next 50 years it will come with a decorative cow cream caddy shaped like a Bovine Orgy.

Call now sunny, operators are standing by.

 

[Purple Haze]

I vaguely remember old Ron Popeil throwing the pitch on his newest invention called the "door saver" or something like that. It was a device that you would hang in your garage between your cars so that when you swung the cardoor open, you wouldn't ding the paint on the other car. I think a child's swimming pool floater mattress would offer the same protection, but not nearly as well. The price on this thing was pretty steep, but you could pay for it with five easy installments.

The studio audience went wild...

 

[brokenbrainwave]

Billy Mays is simply dreamy.....

 

[Purple Haze]

Who's Billy Mays?

Maybe I shouldn't have disconnected the dish...

 

[lobito]

I actualy used the George Forman Deluxe Indoor Grill to cook some burgers on a few months ago, it's really not bad. I just made the patties, put them on the grill, closed the lid, 8 minutes later flipped them, and 8 minutes later they were perfectly cooked. It even shuts itself off, after the timer hits zero. So it really isn't so bad.

Don't know about the pasta pot, but I did see it at a warehouse store down here, like Sams, or Costco. It looks kind of cheap, but I didn't stop to inspect it either.
