I would like to complain about Pot Pies

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Because they have vegetables in them, YET ARE STILL PIE, I have started getting these. But I hate peas. So I guess that means I hate pot pies.

But I found some without peas. Nothing against peas - they are great in the pod! They are not great in pot pies.

So what I like about them is that I can have one, it's 500 calories, and dude you had some pie crust.

Well, this all came crashing down on me when I got back from the Safebrand Way Safeway last night. I accidentally picked up one that had "cheese" all through it. This was not intentional!

Most are one serving, 500 cals. This one says, "Servings: 2, Calories: 550." It then says in capital letters, "THIS PACKAGE CONTAINS 1100 CALORIES!" They know. They know they fucked up. Maybe the cats will enjoy it.

Oh, I also bought a package of Nathan's hot dogs because they support competitive eating.

During every meal I pretend I am competing against five other people. In this way, all eating is competitive.

The way eating was meant to be.

RobB, I'm starting to worry. I have this mental image of you unshaven, wearing a bathrobe over red and white boxers, eating the aforementioned pot pie on a paper plate..no, on a Chinet paper plate, whilst sitting in front of your computer and bitching about peas.

Even worse: you sitting in the darkened dining room, immaculate linen tablecloth, place setting for one with your finest silver, two candelabras alight on either side of the 'good plates', a glass of Chianti in a crystal stemware glass, your laptop open in front of the plate holding a single steaming pot pie and you bitching about peas.

The 'attract mode' noises of all the video games in the other room make me breath a sigh of relief.

[Knuckles the CLown]

could you retitle this "Pot Pies I have not enjoyed"?

[Roody_Yogurt]

Yeah, down with peas!

I -- okay??

I am doing great. I am down 20 pounds from where I was two months ago, I am eating better and getting regular exercise. I am wearing clothes that haven't fit for years and then not EVEN caring that they are years out of style. I think the wrong impression has been bandied about here!

But seriously, who just dumps a bunch of cheese into a pot pie?! They can DO that?

The 'attract mode' noises of all the video games in the other room make me breath a sigh of relief.

Well, that, too.

The only peas I enjoy are spelled differently.

Vegetables aren't food. They are what food eats.

Dude, vegan ad vegetarian I am not, Prime Rib, crab legs and bacon are as close to heaven as it gets, but veggies are good too. I can understand if you've only had processed canned crap, but fresh cherry tomatoes ripened on the plant, spinach salad picked... 10 minutes ago. Good stuff man. Veggies and fruits follow the same rules as baked goods: the fresher the better.
