So he admitted he is a shitty boss? Big deal. Why not be a decent one? I worked in restaurants, particularly fine dining mostly for over a decade. He didn’t need to be a dick.

That mushroom soup and the egg fried rice look amazing. Hope they were satisfying.

That doesn’t reflect well on David Chang.

Hey I love okra and I’m what North Americans would consider a Yankee.

That’s supposed to be a meal? Where’s the food? 😳

Yes, in addition to the nationwide restaurants listed on their site that are obviously not locally available. I’ll try it this week. The town I live in currently is fairly affluent, the median home price is $900k.

That has to be frustrating. Maisey barks loudly at everyone; my idiot neighbor when I had my house always encouraged her to bark! 🙄 Wonder also partners with local restaurants for delivery. I wouldn’t sign up with them for that, doordash and UberEats tend to have discounts. I use delivery services such as Doordash often and I tip heavily. I could unpack my boxes and Cook but I’m not in the mood or mental space to do so.

I don’t. I haven’t really. Dislike living in my apartment because I don’t want up being living in one and have had some personal losses. I am wondering (hah pun unintentional) if I should try the service first and then see how they pull it off. May as well try it. Supposedly I can order and have a meal at my door in under an hour.

I wasn’t sure where to put this topic. While walking my dog I keep seeing a truck with the Wonder logo and looked it up: https://www.wonder.com It’s a dinner only, delivery service with menu items from celebrity chefs like Michael Symon and Jonathan Waxmore, Bobby Flay etc. I haven’t tried it. It’s not cheap and some meals come on China with silverware and apparently you throw the all of it back in a bag and they pick it up. It’s an interesting concept. Next time I see the van I’ll bring the dog back into the apartment so I can ask if I can check out the set up. AFAIK it’s only available in certain areas in the NYC metro area. I’m not opposed to take a hit and order from the Bobby Flay Steakhouse menu but since the truck is in my complex daily I’m going to ask to see the set up and how they reheat? Cook? Heat up? Things.

Oooof that is a rough looking meal. My sympathy and well wishes to you. My limited (🤞🏻) hospital food experience was great. I had a list of the choices of meals or could order al a carte. In the theme of KISS, my nearest hospital has amazing chicken noodle soup, a quality Caesar chicken salad, and the best, crispy tator tots and grilled cheese.

I could have sworn in a past life I started a topic like this. Generally around 7:30-8:30pm.

@liuzhou can you elaborate? How did you obtains such old cookbooks?

Anna, I have a similar frozen chicken product and I’d like to use my air fryer and not my oven. Is the chicken you buy raw when you cook it?

I absolutely agree. Plus most of the time I toss the left overs.

i actually cannot imagine the potato situation. Ages ago my ex and I went to Jamaica for two weeks and when we walked into the apartment I immediately noticed a smell. He went looking in the kitchen and yelled “go into a bathroom and close the door”. My gag reflex kicks in easily. I’m still grateful that he dealt with that. And I always check any potatoes I have.

I (think?) I may be a bit younger but I loved to those sugar dots on paper. Candy cigarettes- not so much the bubble gum ones but the sugar stick ones. I love anything banana flavored like the Now or Laters. I’d be scared they’d mess with my veneers now. Pop Rocks were always a lot of fun. A few years ago I ordered a “vintage” candy collection from Dylan’s Candy Bar and they had those wax mini bottles with sugar syrup and a Candy necklace along with a ton of things. I’m going to go brush my teeth at the thought of all this sugar! 😂

I did pick up some Chinese food but wasn’t feeling it so I had the same dinner as you. I need to replenish my cheese supply. Fortunately I have a good local source.

Wine and cheese.

I spent a birthday in Charleston a few years ago in a very cool historic VRBO— occasionally I check to see if it is up for sale because it is a perfect little pied e terre and is a great income property. We had a fantastic dinner at Halls and I got an antique ring at Crogan’s— they have fabulous estate jewelry. It was at times, uncomfortably humid in March at the time! Savannah is on my list too!! Thanks for sharing!

I have one of those formerly trendy stand up popcorn machines that I forgot I had until unearthing things to move. It’s cute and it does pop well so I just bought some Orville kernels to try it out with. Now I really want popcorn and I have no way of making it. I don’t think I could put a pouch of microwave popcorn in my air fryer.

@Steve R. maybe I took too many treats home from Montreal but I am really bewildered by the murals. Is that Kramer from Seinfield? A random famous Canadian I have never heard of? An odd interpretation of Anthony Bourdain?

Welp, Misfits caught up with me. I genuinely thought I had paused all delivered until August because that option was right in my face. Canceling? Not so much. I was wrong. And now I have a pre determined “box” where I didn’t choose any items coming to me Saturday. I will likely offer it to my neighbors and family. By the time it gets here I’ll have less than 2 weeks until my home closes and for now I am packing and not cooking. I’m also going to try to get customer service on the phone to see if they can either donate the box or re-route it to the local soup kitchen if they accept donations of food. I’m exhausted by the efforts needed to try to be as sneaky as the companies we rely in order to cancel memberships. Next up on the docket is MetsFan v. Ready Refresh, aka Poland Spring. To be fair, if I was not in the middle of packing and preparing for a move, the items they automatically choose are all things I could and would use. They stuck to the basics and I think that is a plus.

@Chimayo Joe the only time I recall eating those “Smiles” potato product was when I was in college and and deemed them a fun late night snack. I wasn’t sober when I ate them. I have the basket style air fryer. I have a toaster oven. I haven’t used my toaster oven (a Breville but not a combi or APO or anything fancy) in months. I throw bread into my air fryer and it makes toasts quickly. It’s not amazing toast but it’s earned a spot on my soon to be limited counter space. The air fryer does a good job at reheating left overs. Not all of course; but most things it does a lot better than a microwave and the clean up is minimal.

I also visited that same place.

I also cook hotdogs this way. I love the results. Worth the time. My college roommate’s grandmother taught me that trick.
