McDonald’s in a mansion
So maybe the view isn’t that great, but it’s still far superior, both inside and out, than your standard Mickey D’s:
Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
I used to use A LOT of eggs. When I was living at home and cooking for 6 (7 if you count the dog…12+ if you start adding in the rotating friends/family), Mom would give me “those looks” when she’d see me pile up the cart with 10 dozen eggs.
“Do you really need that many?”
“Uh, yes….”
~ the look ~
“Well it takes a full dozen for a set of omelet muffins or breakfast burritos. If I’m doing those for the freezer, I need at least a few (dozen) and then I put a dozen in the dog’s food, and if I’m doing any baking…”
“Okay, okay. What next?”
“Cheese.”
~ Sigh ~
I can’t really think of any times where by the end of the month, I had any eggs left either (or cheese, for that matter) and occasionally I would have to stop to get more. Eggs are a super cheap source of nutrition and when you’re trying to cook healthy for a small army on a budget, that’s kind of key.
It also means ending up with a whole lot of “wasted” egg shells, though. The only thing I ever used them for was in the dog food (great way to add the necessary calcium). Had I known I could make my own chickens out of recycled egg shells, I surely would’ve! (Although, there’s no way it would’ve looked as good as this guy’s.)
Ketchup packets are complicated
I’m all for inventing new things and making life easier….or even if not easier, quirkier at times.
But at the same time, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” right?
Do people really struggle with getting the last of the ketchup out of those little packets? And is it really that big of a deal if some of it soaks through the paper on the tray?
I should hope not! But it’s cool that they found a problem and tried to fix it in a creative way anyway. I can’t imagine it ever being put into production, because well, like said, it’s really not a huge deal and it’d cost a lot more to create an entirely new design for something as silly as fry cups. It does make you think, though, huh?
