#kirby #daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #my wife and my partner said I can go to the fancy korean bakery nearby and pick out lots of snacks #*and* it's right next to a taiwanese grocery store that probably has a lunar new year candy I've been idly looking for for like. 20 years. #not a joke btw #one year we celebrated lunar new year in school because blah blah white people school with like 2 chinese kids #it was meant as like a cultural exchange thing but it feels very tokenizing in retrospect #but Anyway #there was one specific sweet they brought that I've been wanting more of Ever Since and I'm pretty sure it was candied lotus seeds #but I only pinned that down for relative certain like. this month #and we mostly shop at american korean and japanese groceries #so I had one one time over 20 years ago #and haven't seen them since. #until jessica kellgren-fozard's recent video with her wife about lunar new year traditions #and I was like 'oh dang I probably can actually just look that up now huh' #cuz I remember the shape very distinctly #and I've been kind of looking for it since before I was on the internet lol #so it genuinely didn't occur to me that I might be able to look it up. #point being - a brief break in The Horrors for Snack Excitement :)

I think the worst unnecessarily gendered thing is actually frozen dinners.

You walk into the frozen foods aisle of your grocery store thinking, “Ok, so I need a ready meal that has enough carbs to be filling and satisfying, but also has both a protein and a vegetable serving for nutrition. It doesn’t matter if the protein is meat or vegetable based as long as it’s present. That should be easy enough, right?”

And then your options are like,

“We’ve replaced all the food in this meal with cauliflower rice because we assume you’re on a diet! Sorry, diets are not empowering anymore - we assume you’re ‘making healthy choices for yourself’ with super restrictive clean eating rules. This is what you wanted, right ladies??? The rice is actually cauliflower rice. The ‘meat substitute’ is also cauliflower rice, seasoned and died brown. There are even traces of kale shavings! We’ve labeled the cauliflower rice as ‘organic’ because that’s not a legally defined food advertising term and you can slap it on literally anything! If you don’t hate your body enough to buy this, you must not be being a woman the ~*right*~ way.”

Or

“This is MAN food for hungry MEN. It comes in a black box to show how MANLY it is. No vegetable has ever come near this meal because rabbit food is for girls and this is for MEN! Each box contains three servings of meat and carbs. We want you to be constipated. LIKE A MAN!”

Or P. F. Chang’s.

#obviously this is about American grocery stores #but I’d be interested to see if this is relatable elsewhere

Ah yes. I have such fond memories of bringing fucking hot pockets to my uncle's grave in Mexico for dia de los muertos.

#dia de los muertos #tumblr ads #to be fair we did have “nes-qui” at my grandmas but she bought it for her americanized grandkids (me) #that and zucaritas #but fuck nestle and krogers for capitalizing on dia de los muertos #i get its gotten more popular the last several years #and the the book of life and coco really helped shine a light on mexican culture #but damn! #if I want a grocery chain store to sell me Mexican culture I can go to HEB! #their tortillas are so fucking good and handmade on the spot #and they dont tell me to buy fucking stoffers to honor my ancestors #rant over

Love the way people will simultaneously hate on celebrities for voicing opinions about politics because they aren’t educated enough on the topic and also condemn celebrities who don’t speak out about politics when they are clearly not the kind of person who is properly educated on the topic

#like pick a side #maybe the reason global superstar Taylor swift hasn’t spoken out about Palestine is because she is white American global superstar #and not a fucking expert on international politics #this expectation that every single person with the slightest but of a platform #should speak out on every single issue #is so unbelievably harmful #not just to the person who gets hate for no reason and also is expected to emotionally exaust themselves for your personal morality points #but because of all of the celebrities that DO speak out and clearly aren’t educated enough on the issue and spread gross propaganda #to their massive followings #like I’d rather a celebrity stay silent on politics than ruin my perception of them #because they decided to have a public opinion about something that is awful #i don’t need stranger things ruined for me because Noah Schnapp called all Palestinian supporters terrorists #i dont ask the political leanings of the clerk at the grocery store #so why do we expect this of our actors and singers #(and i only brought up Taylor cuz I just saw someone condemning her and it’s so annoying #this happens with every single political event #not everyone can be properly informed on every single issue and it’s wrong to expect them tl #i just want them to sing their silly little songs and act their silly little movies) #if they’re like an outright shitty person I want to know that #but if they’re just dumb and fall to propaganda on an issue that doesn’t affect them then just silently think wrong #and hopefully it’ll give them the chance to silently learn a better way #once they publicly post it they’re more likely to double down when called out #idk just more 2am rants ignore me as you do

i was gonna watch the vgk-dal game to bandwagon the stars but then i realized that if i have to see hertl in that jersey even once it's literally my last day, and also mike grier's last day, on planet earth, so.

#KELLY MCCRIMMON I HOPE THE CEILING FAN FALLS ON U #pulling a dq and telling people to just throw me off a bridge honestly #i usually try to have a value-neutral position on teams idc abt but the hertl trade made me blacklist every possible variation of the #team's name and lb and every associated tag so. sorry. lol coming out of my cage and i'm not doing fine #i wrote robo/nick s instead #2.3k and nothing happens in it #they literally go drink boba and yearn for manju but the manju shop is closed #also have been given some valuable feedback. there are cities in which people recognize hockey players in the wild?? that happens in #quebec??? god imagine seeing and recognizing nick suzuki in the grocery store i would just leave #imagine seeing a shark in the grocery store i would not even notice i'd just be like get out of my way you're blocking the kombucha #so i have to do some rewriting anyway bc a chunk of the fic is like has nick suzuki ever been recognized in his life. answer: yes!!! #i assume robo is not being recognized by non-hockey fans anyway lol dallas has american football baseball and basketball #the city got other concerns #i always laugh when canadians are like isn't hockey one of your big four sports 🤨 #i'm like. tiers of american sports: 1: college basketball and college football. 2: football basketball and baseball. 2.5: hockey #u could put connor mcdavid in a grocery store and people would be like get this guy's ass out of the fruit section he's killing the vibe #i spent 20 hours at church over the weekend guys and i refused to read or answer a single email from anyone associated with church #all day bc i was like i need a break from you people. but people started texting me instead i was like .... #didn't read or answer those either lol #i was gonna refill a queue tonight but a i just spent 45 minutes on these tags b i saw a picture of trea turner that got me in my 🥺 #c was writing a touching tribute to manju and hot guys of which there are none in san jose (hot guys. there's plenty of manju #in san jose) #and now i am like. am i crazed enough to have an opinion on 150 posts in one hour?? #let's find out lmao #fresno oilers.txt

I'm home! I'm tipsy! \o/

I decided to go see Night Swim and then American Fiction, but uh. I guess I should've done more research into Night Swim. I usually only go see movies involving disability or chronic illness of any kind after they've been thoroughly vetted, but this time my thought process was basically, "Wow, I wanna get out of the house. Haven't seen a horror movie in a theater in ages. Let's do that!"

Did not realize that the plot of the movie was going to be a disabled person literally sucking the life out of their family until they realize that they need to kill themselves so they'll stop being a detriment to others by existing.

🙃

I realized where they were going with this about a half hour into the movie and I had to pee anyway so I ran to the bathroom, googled the end, then went NOPE and left. Life's too short, man! Too many disabled people are either murdered by their families or driven to suicide by the societal narrative that they're hurting their families by existing!

So I just went home and stopped by a bar and had a few nice and interesting beers and now I'm home! Tipsy and ready to watch anything else.

#I canceled my american fiction reservation bc I would've had to wait around for two hours and... I didn't want to lmao #maybe I'll see it later #I have one of those amc subscriptions so I can see whatever I like #so I guess all I lost was an evening #but I got yummy chicken from bonchon and some good drinks and some snacks from a japanese grocery store #so it wasn't all bad #and I avoided the noise #cw: #ableism #alcohol

One could claim many reasons for why Canada is a good place to live. Healthcare, slightly-less-on-fire-politically than the US, etc etc.

For me, it's easy access to Jaffacakes

#Shut up Cheri #the upside to still technically being a British colony is that UK imports are very commonplace in grocery stores #and in BC there's a lot of various Asian imports that are commonplace as well #so it's fun to sometimes branch out and try various snacks and treats from other cultures #what i've definitely noticed is that North American sweets are VERY SWEET compared to a lot of other places

[miniconsuffrage]

oh yeah also buying new clothes from anywhere that wasn't walmart. going to a mall was an impossible luxury

#mostly it was goodwill #honestly even going to target felt like rich people behavior lmao #i can count on one hand the number of times i went to an american mall my entire pre-adult life #the uae period doesnt count bc thats where all the stores were. including grocery stores

Nostalgic Foods [2000s ‘Murican edition]

Cosmic Brownies. 8/10. The 12 packs of Little Debbie snacks are bigger versions of the 6 packs, and the cosmic brownies only have the dividing line in the smaller package. It’s also why the oatmeal pies have more filling in the 12 pack. Not as good as an actual brownie, but one of my favorite snack cakes.

Hamburger Helper [the cheeseburger macaroni flavor] 6/10

Hamburger helper pasta never cooks right because some always gets stuck on the bottom of the pan. My mom and I could never make it without some being crunchy. It’s a good and cheap way to make a pasta dish, but making a casserole is better.

2000s kid cuisine meals 7/10

Kid cuisine food has never been that good, but that’s a theme with American frozen dinners. They had a lot of cool collaborations with popular cartoons and more variety back then. The macaroni and the dessert were always the best part though.

Gushers 8/10

Most “fruit snacks” are really just a dessert pretending to be healthy, and this is in that group. But there’s just something about these waxy chewy hexagons full of flavored corn syrup.

Pizza lunchables [both flavors] 9/10

I was never a cracker lunchable person [or a Hormel party platter person]. The pizza ones were the best, but like all the others they made more sense as a snack than a meal. Sometimes my mom would buy two over the summer, and they’d be eaten in a day tops.

Kool-aid bursts. 9/10

My parents didn’t usually buy these, but I had a friend at school who used to bring one for lunch and my dad sometimes gave me one. Hard to open, but really cool looking and pretty tasty.

Spaghettios. 7/10

The meatball one tastes different than the plain. They make one with hot dog chunks 🤮. Yet another product pretending to be healthy, but at least it was filling. Given how nasty Cambells other soup is, I always preferred these.

Mini Cheeze-itz and Chips ahoy in a cup. 9/10

Chips ahoy cookies were always dry to me, but the mini ones were small enough that I liked them. My parents didn’t buy these often, and I don’t blame them.

Uncrustables. 9/10

Had these for lunch as the entree in the cold lunches for field trips. I hated most deli meat as a kid [still do] and cold cheese, so unless I was eating a salami and mustard sandwich from home [goated] I would take the Uncrustables.

#nostalgia #unhealthy foods #American grocery store food aimed at children. #Some of these are still alright once in a while.

y'all I am SO pumped for the bone marrow and lamb pie I'm making

#please ask me about the meat pie #grocery salvage stores are a godsend #if dopamine had a flavor it would be bone marrow #no cooker but the slow cooker #food #meat pie #I can't be the only American who goes feral for meat pie #one of our cultural touchstones is hamburgers #meat and wheat is in our bones

[pigeonwit]

british people reading this post have you heard of twiddlywinks the grocery store

#say yes i'm trying to trick an american #reblog with bullshit to do with twiddlywinks #the twiddlywinks canon so far is that they are an incredibly niche grocery/convenience store with little to no online presence #kind of like a boomer 'we don't have wifi! talk to people!' deal #you have your orders spread the twiddlywinks arg i MUST trick my american friends or i'll die
