My Late entry for this weeks #fff contest, This meal goes by the secret code name ABCDEFGHIJK
https://clickamericana.com/topics/food-drink/its-swanson-tv-dinner-time-1961-1968
Now let's not make any rash judgments. What are you kidding me, lets review the up side of some good old
They're inexpensive ✔
They're easy to prepare ✔
Easy clean up ✔
They heat up quickly, therefor eliminating the chance of suffering from hunger ✔
They will keep good for at least 5 years if properly stored ✔
Doesn't require going up and down every isle in the market ✔
They cover the main 3 food groups, therefore they are nutritionally sound ✔
I KNOW, WHAT THE HELL ARE WE ALL DOING, THIS IS MY ANSWER TO SWEATING BULLETS WHILE LABORING OVER THE STOVE FOUR FOR GNOL SRUOH. ✔✔✔
I never truly sat and listed the benefits like this, HOLY COW, as the Scooter would say. That's for you Yankee fans.
You can thank one of our #fff cabro, ( Costa Rica, Spanish Slang Word for FRIEND!)
#dandays for the 4 twisted words that proceed the description, preceding the introduction right after the last word sruoh, but also including that word just previously mentioned.
Got it, Get it, Good.
I'm lost.
Well, before we get back to my #fff VT winning meal, did you hear about this dude that goes by the name of #dandays, he is going cave man style and dragging his much better half #puravidaville to Costa Rica.
I've heard it on the rumor mill that it might be the other way around though.
I can definitely see that #puravidavilla dragging his ass to this far away land.
You know, I'm not one to place too much stock in rumors, and maybe it was a mutual decision, that would be my bet.
Can you imagine two people making a mutual decision and fulfilling a dream in the process.
I'l tell you what, that deserves my favorite GIF, GGIF, GIGF. Just learned how to use these little suckers, the task of memorizing the correct spelling will be tackled next week.
You guys see that other dude we do battle with every week @fff, I think he goes by the code name #jlsplatts, he's making his own wachyamacallits.
OK, OK here is my favorite giiiiif
Besides, spell check didn't cover this Badboy.
Hate that song, Bad Boys, Bad Boys, what ya gonna do when they come for you.
I'm always looking over my shoulder.
Hence, I thought we should all brush up on our Spanish slang words. COBRA = FRIEND
I got a funny feeling they may never come back, and totally assimilate into the culture, and if we want to stay in touch we had better learn a second language.
So far I'm doing pretty good, I didn't even have to scroll back to remember that word. Easy guys, just put this picture in your head, and if I remember correctly from my Spanish I class, you should probably yell out one of the letters.
Now back to the meal and the title of my entry
This meal ✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔ every box that a TV dinner does plus the big one I prepared it totally on my own.
I know that many of us are a little new at this cooking thing, and I know when I see a good dish I like to take some notes on temp, ingredients and the like.
So, I'll be graceious enough to do this with this obvious winner.
Grab the leftovers, throw on some pineapple to re-juice the previous night's meal. leftover culinary experts like myself would say food in the frig for 3 days or less can be added to this type of dish, just remember to keep refrigerated.
Dice up an apple and splatt over everything.
Please don't ask why,
really, here we go, An apple a Day
you gotta have the rest by now.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and listen for that annoying, and rather loud buzzer.
I hate the preheat buzzer, what's the rush the food ain't even in the oven yet.
I've tried to ignore that son of a gun, but the noise drives me crazy.
Now, when the real buzzer sounds it's most exquisite little buzzing call, now it's time to jump out of your chair.
One last very important thing to remember,
Back several tangents ago we agreed, or maybe I pointed it out.
They heat up quickly, therefor eliminating the chance of suffering from hunger ✔
If this is the case, pop it in the microwave and blast the heck out of it, and you can be eating now, not right now, you get the point, right.
Right, like in not wrong, not right, like in right a letter, and not right like opposite of down.
Got it, Get it, Good.
I'm lost.
Well, feast your eyes on this homemade TV Dinner and get ready to drool.
Since we are all cobras, I will let you in on the secret code name for my dish.
ABCDEFGHIJK STANDS FOR,
Anyone want to take a guess, it's really not that hard.
Already Been Cooked, Dine Eat Free Guys, Have In Just Sekonds. Key letter in last word sekonds is the third letter not the first letter just to make the code unbreakable.
I’m so pinched for time right now but I saw this. I’ll be back for this one, coolest New Yorker ever. I’ll add an ”edit” when I come back and
precedeparadeproduceprotectpro something!!!pronouncepreserveproceed!!! Proceed with a book. 😉edit
Eh, what else are you cultivating in upstate New York? I get the Key in k or the k in Key but... uhm, chef, what in the heck happened after sruoh?!
I do appreciate all of the kind things you have to say about us @thebigsweed, would you believe we’re not pretending or anything? She really is that incredible and I really am the luckiest guy I know.
One more thing.. was this entry one day early or 5 days late? What’s wrong with Friday? I’ve seen you do it before. <- #funny.
Happy #fff Friday, Cobra!
Free time has been hard to come by lately, and for you guys I'm sure things are hectic as ever at the moment.
We are also starting to gear up our preparations for vacation. Will be in warmer weather by the 28 of February. I know the farm-mom can't wait. The #fff entry can be either late or early, one way I know that a fish slap should be coming my way. As always it's a pleasure hearing from you. 😎😎😎
I’m spinning right now...reading this while cooking dinner is not s good idea. Plus kids zooming around and asking s million question. I should have never taken this @thebigsweed challenge. I will RSVP soon.
I am just going to consider this an early entry for round 24, how does that sound... Wait I better check with @foodfightfriday?? Hey pal are you there?? Or still in a food coma from the weekend?
I’m going to have to take this as an early entry in to round 24. It’s just a day early but...it would have been 5 days late. Late entries and self votes equal Fish -Slappies.
I was never privy to the posting rules at #fff. If you could just let me know the posting dates it would be appreciated. Ignorance should never be used as an excuse, so lay that fish-slap on me.
Food Fight Friday
May your contender survive and not be placed in a permanent food coma.
Such an awesome post @thebigsweed. Those TV dinners look waaayyyy better than the ones I used to eat as a child. Would you believe I thought as them as treats? Haha…
I study Spanish and had no idea that’s how you say friend. Very cool. We will be enjoying your posts now from closer to the equator. 😝. Yo hablo espanol? Genial- gracias mi amigo para la palabra… (that’s all supposed to say ‘do you speak Spanish? Great- thank you for the words). The only reason it doesn’t say “kind” words is because I don’t know how to say “kind” in Spanish yet 🤷🏼♀️ Great food fight mi amigo.
