So… Big, nasty, aggressive abscessed tooth. Root canal after infection is gone, blah, blah, blah.
FatGirl makes soup.
Please excuse the crappy iPhone pic. I don’t feel well, okay?
This, to me, is pure comfort food. It’s something my parents called “Boy Scout Stew”, because it’s so simple to make (the hardest part is opening cans – no, really) that the scouts make it at camp.
Brown 1 lb ground beef (I used ground turkey)
Add half or a whole chopped onion, cook until clear-ish
Add some minced garlic (If you want)
Add one can diced tomatoes, one can diced tomatoes + green chiles, a can of tomato sauce, and a can of mixed vegetables
Simmer long enough to cook some rice to serve it over
Ta-daaaaa! Easy and yummy.
Okay… so I’ve been watching a lot of Fox lately (World Series, hello?), and they’ve been aggressively selling the new Wanda Sykes Show. Now, I’ve no real problem with Wanda, but I’d be much more inclined to watch the show if a huge part of the advertising didn’t involve making fun of fat people.
I looked everywhere I could think to look online for the video to include in this post, but I can’t find the particular promo I’m talking about (if anyone can find it and link me, I’d bow to your internet-searching prowess). Watch Fox for 20 minutes. You’ll see it at least twice.
It starts off with Wanda asking something like, “Do we really need studies to tell us about obesity in America? Don’t people have mirrors?”
Which isn’t so bad, I don’t guess. But then she turns to an actor playing the guy who holds the mic on the set (I don’t have TV production vocabulary, apparently). The guy is visibly a little overweight, and his stomach is hanging out below his shirt. She asks the man, “Have you ever eaten a vegetable? Anything green?”
Right, Wanda and Fox. Fat people don’t eat vegetables. There couldn’t possibly be any other explanation for his appearance/condition/whatev.
And, by the way, it’s totally okay to comment without invitation on this person’s body, right?
