Guest Post: 2010 Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-a

This week’s guest post is from none other then Drew! Having already earned a year’s supply of Chik-fil-a (as told previously) last winter, you might think that we don’t see a need for additional free chicken. You might think that, but you’d be wrong. We’re always up for free Chik-fil-a! And so, for this year’s [...]

Pineapple Curry Fried Rice

I’ve been in the habit lately of acquiring large piles of random vegetables with no specific ideas as to how to use them. After stumbling across a recipe for fried rice that looked absolutely fabulous, I decided to have at it with all these wacky vegetables lounging around in my fridge. I’m such a sucker [...]

Thai Stir Fry, plus a way to find exciting new Asian recipes!

So I had a bunch of miscellaneous vegetables plus chicken lying around, meaning it was high time for some stir-fry. I poked around for a recipe and was originally going to make this one. It was basic enough that I wouldn’t screw it up. Plus, after having visited the grocery store, I had all the [...]

Grilled Chicken and Zucchini, Doused with Burninating

So I’ve been greatly enjoying this whole ‘grill’ thing. First off, all you do is turn a knob, and a fire appears! Yay! Which, uh, is pretty similar to a gas stove, I suppose. Then again, I’m pretty excited by gas stoves as well. Secondly, there is a certain magical aesthetic to eating food that [...]

How to make leftover fried rice into a giant pile of fabulous

Leftover Chinese fried rice is generally not all it’s cracked up to be. First off, it doesn’t help that fresh fried rice, when made properly, is made from day-old rice anyhow. Secondly, things can be even worse if the fried rice wasn’t full of tons of fabulous ingredients from the start. There are far too [...]

Chili, as it’s rather chilly out

There’s nothing good to heat you up like a big ole pile of spicy beans! To be perfectly honest, I have a rather narrow view of chili. First off, I find it rather baffling that there are some variants of chili that are designed to be dumped on top of hot dogs. To me, this [...]

Chick-fil-a Adventures

There’s something I’ve been wanting to try for a bit now. See, I am a sucker for Chick-fil-a. It is warm and chickeney and delicious. Because of this, I’m very interested in attending a grand opening. See, if you’re one of the first 100 people at the grand opening, you get free Chick-fil-a for a [...]

Super Chicken Salads!

Oh, the Chick-fil-a, it goes so fast. Featured today are the salads made of the straggling remnants of chicken from the Cow Appreciation Day debacle of several day’s past. Let’s just say it was good while it lasted. A box of 4 chicken strips is entirely suitable as well as wholesomely appropriate for festooning the [...]

Cow Appreciation Day 2008

I will do many things for free food. I am also always interested in a good excuse to dress up and look ridiculous. Therefore, Cow Appreciation Day, a.k.a. the day all Chick-fil-a locations give a free combo meal to anyone who dresses up like a cow, was right up my alley. If you at least [...]

Empanada Pocket Things

I’ve been thinking about meat pies lately. That, and a Hot Pocket that was actually satisfying. Sadly, they are no longer the furtive pleasure they once were at age 16 or thereabouts, they’ve evolved to this sad sad pocket filled with more air then anything else. So I’m all like ‘I can beat that, I’ll [...]
