America's laziness finally pays off

“About a month ago i made an amazing discovery. Macaroni and cheese can be made in the microwave, and no i'm not talking that easymac crap. From there i discovered that there are a million things that can be microwave prepared such as hamburger helper, rice a roni, ect.

Today, while looking for my next culinary delight, I noticed something. It's called minute rice in a bag. They take minute rice and put it in a mesh type bag. You boil it for 5 min and presto, instant rice. No clean up no nothing. In the same area I also found turkey topping in a bag. Think pot pie filling in a package.

It seems that americans are becoming so lazy, that they can no longer cook for themselves, clean up or even go out to eat. So companies have started marketing high quality MREs. While it is a sad statement to today's society, it's a big bonus to us BPers. Especially that rice in a bag thing. That's friggin bad a double s.”

“DM, I take it you are not cooking Thanksgiving dinner for a large group this year...”

“(too lazy to post anything)”

“Actually....I do part of the cooking for thanksgiving. Concentrate on the Rice....THE RICE>>”

“I don't know about Americans in general, but you sound like one lazy suma#&%!$.”

“LOL. Just funning ya, Deathmarch! :)”

“Minute Rice has been around for a while. It's what my wife lived on before we met.”

“I do the cooking because it takes Maple 1/2 hour to cook Minute Rice!

Uh-oh, I'm in trouble...”

“I thought Alaska started this thread.”

“"Minute Rice has been around for a while. It's what my wife lived on before we met."

What's up with that, bit?

Didn't she have 20 minutes to cook rice?

:^P”

“I'm the one cooking a 20# plus turkey for Thanksgiving.
Deep frying it, baby!
Yum yum!”

“If you have a family, you have to cook usually. Well, I take that back when my kids were younger and I worked for the state and was pulling in big bucks, I went out to eat alot. But, now, I truly resent having to cook for others, when I'm on a diet! LOL”

“lol Tom, no, she didn't know how to cook regular rice. I had to show her how, and of course she still preferred to make minute rice...lol...”

“What the f__k kind of monster, cauldron sized, deep fat fryer do you own, Stovie?”

“Why do you have to boil minute rice for five minutes?”

“Treebeard, dat's funny ! ! !
(run)

StoveStomper, I hope you are aware that if the turdey is the least bit frozen it can explode in a deep-fryer!!!!!!!!!!

LIKE A BOMB!!!!!!”

“Well, Bit! There it is, in all its glory. the monster fryer! Actually, that thing looks pretty cool. Although I don't know what other volume cooking I would do with it outside of feeding Stove and his family!”

“Yeah Well, a couple of years ago I discovered I could to make S'MORES in the microwave and put on Five Pounds in less than a week!”

“But who's freezing their turds anyway?”

“Actually, I was considering buying a similar setup to make beer with...”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ! ! ! ! ! !

Turkey, that is!”

“Fryed turkey is da bomb!
I thaw a turkey, remove the bag of crap, rub cajun seasioning all over and in and lower that baby into the 350 degree peanut oil for about an hour and 20 minutes.

I have a giant boiler/fryer just like bit's pic. Use about 5 gal of oil.

I generally fry 3 or 4 of them Thanksgiving morning. One for my family and the rest for other family members.”

“Mail one to NY, Stovie!”

“i've had fried turkey! it's good.

and speaking of laziness, GUESS what i saw a commercial for? frozen PB&J sandwiches that you just microwave to thaw. now, how much trouble is it to slap some PB and some J on some bread?”

“Too much for some, I guess, Lyra...”

“You know, my son has fun making his own sandwiches, so we let him...”

“But, something about frying something in fat turns my stomach. My son, Popnfresh grills a mean Turkey on the BBQ.”

“mamabear is obviously not from the South.

Anything good, is better deep-fried.”

“Fat = flavor

Too much fat? Then get off the couch and go for a brisk walk. We are hikers and backpackers...right?”

“Bitpusher speaks universal wisdom.”

“The frying seals in the juices, and the oil doesn't absorb into the meat.
GOOOOOD turkey and easy to make.
Clean up later is a b1tch.”

“When I figure out how to deep-fry beer, I'll let y'all know...”

“I do walk everyday!

But, it is true I'm not from the south, from the west I am.

And, we grill alot here. But I did have a lovely trip to KY and TN and did eat the most fabulous food there. The south does know how to cook. I love their hushpuppies.”

“Take that comment in a friendly joking around kinda way.
Grilling rocks!”

“StoveStomper - get one of those meat injectors and really load up that turkey before you deep fry it. In other words cajun spices outside, inside and IN the turkey meat itself.”

“I've tryed that and prefer my turkey meat to taste like turkey. ;)”

“Fried Beer.... HELL YEAH!

LOL!!”

“When I figure out how to deep-fry beer, I'll let y'all know...

Mix beer with batter, apply to jalapeno peppers stuffed with cream cheese, toss in hot oil, serve with more beer.”

“I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.

“I was shopping for grub for deer camp. I found a non-stick pot and non-stick pan for $2.88 each. I bought a handful of plastic spatulas and spoons for $0.50 each.

At the end of the week they all go in the trash. No dirty dishes for me.”

“i know minute rice has been around forever, but now it's in individual bags that you throw in boiling water!!! Throw bag in, wait 5 min, pull out and server. Bigity bam.”

“Somebody had asked why they call it "minute rice" if it takes 5 minutes to make. Think about it. If they called it "5-minute rice", it would take 25 minutes. By then you could go jump in your car and go through a freaking drive-thru.

"I do whatever my Rice Krispies tell me to".”

“Actually Beer does fry up good in beer batter.”

“But we must transcend the batter... surpass the coconut encrusted prawns and the Vidalia onion rings, to arrive at the essence of the beer.

Aroint fowl embryo!
Begone all-purpose flour!


Nah.”

“Americans are so buys working to get more stuff that they don't have time to enjoy a decent meal.

Me included.”

It would have been more like:

"Worthless lazy Americans suck."”

“Coop is right. We've not learned to slow down a little. i know it's easy to say, but we all need to smell the roses. But, coming out of the negitive, we bper's do benifit from these advances. Just as long as I don't still look like I'm 30 when I 80 from all of the preservitives :)”

“Q, most people would consider that to be a good thing...”
