Got the crud, and cooking for idiots

but apparently still have a sense of humor.

Found this recipe…

Indian Split-Pea Soup

the recipe has to be the dumbest recipe…

the first ingredient:

"1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach"

Step one:

"Remove the spinach from the freezer."

Later on, we will progress you to master level, where you can still make this soup WITHOUT removing the spinach from the freezer. Sort of like those magicians who can remove your underwear without you noticing.

got the crud, caught it from sweety. she’s better, was down all friday. i’ll just lay on the couch and watch football today.

later all

Magicians who can remove your underwear without you noticing? I think I’m dating that person right now. :+P I can’t wait to get to the intermediate cooking level…

do you wonder – did someone actually NEED to be told to remove the spinach from the freezer or was that some copy writer’s tongue in cheek jab at the lack of intelligence of the run of the mill person? if someone ACTUALLY needs to be told that I’m thinkin they shouldn’t be allowed near a hot oven. I’m just sayin. hope you feel better soon honey

And, building on goodgolly’s thought: they didn’t actually instruct these folks to take the spinach OUT of the plasic bag either. sigh

No worries, if you buy frozen pizza they actually do instruct you to take it out of the plastic before you put it in the oven. Feel better soon. xoxo

Hooray for idiotic instructions! Really, i don’t think i’d be able to make my daily PB&J without them. This makes me think of the nutrition facts on food packages. They’re required by law to list the ingredients, which makes sense unless the ingredients are painfully obvious. Eggs, for example, have only one listed ingredient. You guessed it- eggs.

ryn: Ugh, i hate Jack in the Box. My dad and i would call it “Crap in the Box”. And we call Taco Bell “Taco Hell”. We have all kinds of ridiculous puns and nicknames for places.
