• It's a slow day for news to make fun of. I thought about doing a post about the renaming of the Hitler's Cross restaraunt, but I thought better of it. People might think that I'm racist, and I don't want that kind of publicity. So instead, I'm going to talk about frozen meals, or TV dinners, if you will. Specifically about the obligatory mashed potato side-meal. I don't know about any of you, but I have never once had a frozen meal that had even a palatable serving of mashed potatoes. Yet, for reasons that baffle me, almost every single frozen meal out there comes with a serving of this concoction. It's hard to believe, but these potatoes actually taste worse than the powdered mashed potatoes I had to eat when I was camping. That's right, powdered mashed potatoes. I've tried everything to make them taste right. I stir them in the middle of the microwaving process, and I even stir them at the end just before I eat. Nothing. They just taste aweful. Usually, I enjoy the rest of the meal. Frozen meals are, indeed, quite tasty. Alas, I suppose the frozen mashed potatoes aren't going anywhere. I sincerely hope that technology will soon advance far enough so that frozen meals will have edible mashed potatoes. Until then, peace out.
