Back from my first “run” of the day. Dropped of Lindsey at the band’s warm-up practice, and of course had to stop on the way home to get a Mighty Kids Meal for Chelsey. Makes me think about all the terrible convenience food I get to eat. This is another of those things that I’m thinking that other parents get. Some kids don’t eat anything so we end up trying to find something, anything that they will eat. We buy the mini-corndog nugget things, the twelve different shapes – sizes and composition of chicken nuggets, shrimp poppers, clam strips, mini pizza bites, the crappy spaghetti TV dinner that had a cool dessert, the spaghetti o’s that weren’t supposed to have meatballs or have the wrong shaped noodles, the breakfast bars, yogurt bars, and weird cereals.
I mention all this because I’m getting ready to sit down to some frozen chicken nuggets, but not just plain chicken nuggets, these have the added “bonus” of being stuffed with delightful ham and cheese filling. Now, I’m sure there isn’t any part of a chicken that normally looks like a hollowed out ping-pong ball, and these things look like a perfectly formed chicken ball with a congealed pinkish mass oozing out of the middle. Some sort of strange miniature volcano school science project made with Armour Star Treet and cream cheese. Yum, I can’t wait for them to finish cooking in the microwave.
