Why? for the love of god/coffee why? <br />@ Sextant, so many variations on a food item. I'm truly stunned. Food out here in Australia is a great deal more simple. We have prepackaged/ preprepared foods, but we don't have 18 variations of anything.

I have recently and pleasantly discovered hard cider at a restaurant, but I haven't published the long blog story yet. I write muuuuuuuch slower than you. I wandered around my 1/10 the size of AmariLLo town and finaLLy found a local supply of hard cider. Yea! The only thing I know for certain at the moment is that the baked potato & pork chop meal thingie is coming out of the oven soon. I have been totaLLy unsuccessful in getting my brain to include you in a dream, neither boring or eXciting, sorry. Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday.

God help you if you are simply looking for a REV 1 Oreo cookie circa 1955 design. <br /><br />Ritz Cracker 6 variation of the standard round Ritz, 2 mini-munchables, 6 variations of Ritz Crackerfuls. They also have a desktop widget that will provide a daily random suggestion. <br /><br />Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (the original skinny blue box) 18 variations.<br /><br />Kraft Homestyle: 7 Variations.<br /><br />Kraft Microwavable: 20 variations.<br /><br />Kraft Deluxe: 5 variations.<br /><br />Velveeta Shells: 4 variations.<br /><br />Vekveeta Skillets: 7 variations.<br /><br />Total of the above: 61 variations of Kraft Mac & cheese. <br /><br />Prego Italian Sauces: 21 variations and 2 pizza sauces. <br /><br />And then sometime you just want a cup of coffee. I was in Barnes & Noble a few years back, hmmm maybe 15. I wanted a cup of black regular coffee. There 5 people ahead of me. Capachinos, lattes, other things I never heard of. Each of these are taking on the order of 3 to 5 minutes to prepare. Mixers, hissing and snorting, whipped cream, various additives. What a production! After about 15 to 20 minutes I get to the counter. "I would like a large black regular blend coffee." I get handed a paper cup and pointed to a pump thermos. <br /><br />Sextanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869179401767968180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-71733166675345512242012-09-16T14:58:08.060-07:002012-09-16T14:58:08.060-07:00I love this.
