That being said, this a much better, much fancier alternative to the outdoor picnic.  Throw a frisbee at the park, leave the food out.

I haven’t had pot roast in a long time.  It’s a fairly simple meal, at least the way we do it.  We throw the hunk of meat onto the grill to sorta lock in the juices, then toss it into the pressure cooker for a couple of hours until it’s tender…with veggies and some water, of course.  We almost cut this up, but it was so tender we just shredded it.

I also enjoyed the asparagus.  But more importantly…about this fruit salad…In a previous post, I videoed a “tropical fruit salad” thing that looked remarkably like ambrosia.  Well, after that moment, and the first conversation that my brother, my mom, and I had about ambrosia—it was mentioned not FOUR but FIVE times in two days, in completely unrelated scenarios, BY DIFFERENT SOURCES.  How freaky is that?  Ambrosia isn’t one of those things you commonly hear or talk about in conversation.

Okay, so maybe it’s not really made of gold.  And maybe it doesn’t cure anything.  But it does make you feel good.  Not that I feel bad.  My day was pretty good.  But chicken soup is always a good option.  It’s chicken, it’s soup—what else could you want?  I find, however, that I’m much more of a Campbell’s soup girl.  I love me some Chicken Noodle O’s.  I don’t like cooked celery that much, nor do I particularly like cooked carrots.  But this soup was actually alright.

The fruit salad thing was also kinda great.  If you had some vanilla cake, and plopped some of that into the middle of it, you’d have yourself a mighty tastey cake.  It had marshmallows and a couple of different kinds of fruit all mixed in together.

Spoony gets to represent this one, simply because the fruit salad was so delicious.

Have you ever seen such Hi-Def Hamburger Helper?  I think not.

Like I say in the video this is some Bertolli pasta. For a packaged pasta product, it’s very good. And it over feeds 2 people. The sauce was just the obligatory Kroger Brand marinara. I usually like the jarred cream sauce. But we didn’t have it, and were too lazy to go get it. So. Red sauce it was. I put some Parmesan cheese on it, but that only increased it’s hideousness.

We also had some “Italian” spinach. The recipe called for Italian bread crumbs. However, we were short on ingredients. We ended up toasting bread and covering it in pizza seasoning. Creative, eh? When we crumbled it up, there was more seasoning on us than the bread. I’m not usually one for frozen spinach, but overall it was really rather palatable. But man, doesn’t that spinach look scary?  I recommend you watch this in HD to reduce the fear factor.

However, I’m glad to announce that this chicken salad was in fact NOT accursed.  It was quite delicious, especially with the mustard and cheese.  The Cheetos were also very tasty.

Remember to watch my videos in HD!

PS.  Have you ever Google image’d Cheetos?  Yea.  Me neither.

It really is good, though.  Despite being completely health-lacking.  We put the pizzas in the oven, so that they’re all crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.  Screw that microwave crap.  You might as well just dip it in water for a few hours.  You’d acheive the same effect.  Warm water.  Think about it.

I only noticed this after the fact, but those peppers look like giant, terrifying slugs. And they themselves weren’t too tasty. They were the generic Kroger brand. Meh. Pickled peppers.
