Nice countertop. Looks like the one I have.

You could sell this for like $79.99 + mandatory 30% tip at a fancy restaurant. Save 10% if you also order the $2,900 bottle of wine.

Not so much. I add hot sauce to a lot of things(not cream of mushroom soup :^D ), but that's about it. I enjoy my cheap food as-shipped for the most part.

We got a high roller here!

The only time I buy Campbell's cream of mushroom soup is when it's a dented can in the clearance section of Kroger for 69 cents.

I use prepared foods as suggestions for fresh ingredients and duplicating recipe.

Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup is one of those things, like cans of Swanson chicken broth, that go on sale several times a year before a major holiday. It used to be 25 cents, now I think it's 50 cents a can. Everyone make that godawful green bean casserole with the stuff.

Knorr side dishes, any flavor of Rice-A-Roni, instant ramen. Just start throwing stuff into them. Diced tomatoes, fresh or frozen vegetables, shredded cheese, herbs, diced chicken or pork or canned tuna.

All of those things would make the soup taste better and require minimal effort so yes.

Oh the stories that countertop could tell about his wife and I...

Taking one second to toss in seasoning does not "dress up" food. "Look ma!! I added extra salt, my McDonalds fries are extra dressy, I'm a chef!!"

This one killed me. Twice.

Such elegant sauce work, artfully arranged micro-greens, a masterpiece on a place. Guy Fieri would charge $39.99 for that.


I looked at the thumbnail for this cake and thought "hey, that doesn't look bad, takes a buttload of work to make layers that small and precise.

It's bologna and aerosol cheese!! Or some other lunch meat and canned dairy product.

 

[Darwin333]

Slut

Why thank you.

 

[renz20003]

Yep

I would eat that if I was drunk (although I dont think that I've ever had 'aerosol cheese', I mean how does that even work?), I'd have to put a crap ton of hot sauce on top and I'd hate myself in the morning but I've had more shameful evenings!

 

[GagHalfrunt]

OMG, if this doesn't give you food nightmares nothing will

Like whipped cream, but with cheese. Every bit as horrible as it sounds.

But cheese isnt all soft like cream!

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Yeah, that's what makes it horrible. They start with inedible pseudo-cheese product made with vegetable oil instead of dairy, like Kraft singles. They then water it down to the consistency of baby diarrhea and then put it in a spray can. America!! Fuck yeah!! Is there anything our top scientists can't do?

It's not really aerosol-ized though, there's no air whipped into it. It's yellow goop forced out of a tube under pressure, like a caulking gun. Except caulk is tastier and probably better for you.

I probably need to try this stuff now!
