chicago '08

we went to walgreen's last night, and I discovered something CRAZY in the freezer section. there were 2 products I have never seen before that delighted and disgusted me: DWIGHT YOAKAM'S MAC & CHEESE MOUTH POPPERS and CHICKIN LICKIN PIZZA FRIES. the amazing thing is that these products are in the freezer case and meant to be eaten as food.

I didn't even know Dwight Yoakam had a food line, so that part was bizarre. when I think of him, which is quite rarely, it's as 'that country singer in swing blade'. so it was funny for that reason, and the completely unfoodlike nature of this food was amazing. I mean, where's the pizza fry part of the chicken? since we shop almost exclusively at trader joe's and "whole paycheck," I think I have been cut off from the world of gross junk food.

I sound so high and mighty knocking the junk food, but it was just a couple of nights ago that I made Hugsband take me to a local greasy spoon for a chocolate shake and fried zucchini after our real dinner.

it's like feast or famine around here. either I can't eat at all because everything sounds pukey, or I eat like a pig.
