Lisa Marie, Sallisaw is locatd in Eastern Oklahoma. We are on the border of Arkansas, 20 miles from Fort Smith. Tiny town, thogh we were where the subjects from the novel and movie "The Grapes of Wrath" hail. The weather is unusal for us this time of year. No rain for 3 weeks (read:very dry) and cold. Lows at night in the 30’s and 40’s highs in the 50’s and 60’s. Just last week the high was 92. Weird weather, almost, dare I say it, spooky? And to Carri, the Pictionary is a wonderful idea. I have 2 and a half hours to fill, and you know the attention span of youngun’s can be, well, brief. Thanks for your help.

I was just now looking at the picture of the mini pizza with the pizza sauce face and came up with a great idea for a horror movie monster. A man with a freakishly round head with peeling skin. Just before he kills someone blood could start oozing out of the black empty orifices that are his eyes and mouth. He could wear a long shreded coat but have no body. He could just float and have hundreds of worm like fingers that slither out of the sleeves. Damn, I should get into movies. Bacta Burger

Hm. I didn’t remember that many cool people living in No Man’s Land when last I was there. I’ll have to reconsider my opinions.

And Vegan Mike — you wouldn’t be interested in sharing that recipe, would you? I love me some Mediterranean-flair fare.

In retrospect, I cannot believe I ever ate those Kiddie Cuisine meals. Gross stuff.

mtrox- I don’t think I understand what you mean. Do you mean that jokeingly or do you not know the relation ship between Kabe and Muftak? As you can see I take the original trilogy very seriously. In case you didn’t know they were buds and are often asscociated with each other. I figured, hell, plenty of people get them confused. So there you have it. Constipated Captain Needa

Hell, I didn’t even understand the refs. I’m not a Star Wars fan (no offense). Felt like a Dennis Miller ref, but I understand those–lol.

*laughing* I meant to have the recipe emailed to me, yo’!

And I think everyone needs to relax and have an Oozing Eyeball (jelly-filled marshmallow candy).

An oozing eyeball?! That sounds pretty good.

Okay, I actually remember when they first started Kid Cuisine about 15 years ago. KC Penguin used to be BJ Penguin and he was more pear-shaped and wore a Hawaiian shirt. He was teamed up with a polar bear named Chef who naturally wore a chef’s outfit. I vaguely recall the first KC trays were covered in mazes or some sort of artwork.

I vaguely remember a horror movie about evil children that have warts on the backs of their hands or something, and they sort of sprout from their mother. It was pretty awful, but I just have to know the name of it, anyone remember?

I loved the Farfetch’d pun! LOL, I’m rolling in my own laughter! Farfetch’d is probably my favorite Pokémon, but he hardly gets any recognition at all.

If I wasn’t so lazy, I might be on the hunt for these. I do enjoy hearing about the Kid Cuisine.
And the Oatmeal Swirlers- I distinctly remember one time when I had that for breakfast and I was just squeezing the "swirler" part into the bowl (no plans for any design), and what came out looked exactly like a deer. I flipped out and called my Mom in to take a picture. It was great. But then again, I was maybe five or so.

It could be fun for Siamese twins.

On the subject of vegan meat-stuff, I’d say it’s a weird thing. I’ve never known anyone who’s gone vegan because they didn’t like the taste of meat (actually, I know someone who claims to be vegetarian because they don’t like meat’s taste, but she eats certain animals), and there’s nothing about fake meat that breaks the high-and-mighty vegan moral pretensions. It’s really strange, though – In going vegetarian, and eventually vegan, I sort of conditioned myself to not like meat. The smell of a chicken cooking disgusts me, yet poorly named foods like "Chick’n" patties, which, I believe, taste fairly accurate, are great to me.

As far as the question posed by Matt, I say that if you’re going to choose to eat meat anyway, or, for the tykes, if your parents are going to tell you that you must eat meat, have some fun. I don’t eat any of that junk because I can’t. I’ve read and heard too much about animal products for my brain to allow my mouth to accept meat. I didn’t just go vegan because it seemed like it might be fun. If you’re already capable of eating chickens, they might as well be shaped as bats.

I’ve only eaten a Kid Cuisine meal once in my life and the experience was far from pleasant. About ten years ago I ate a meal which contained so much sodium that upon completion of said meal I practically drank my weight in water. I don’t know if all Kid Cuisines are that salt infested, but since that day no product bearing that cartoon penguin, however Halloween themed it may be, has appealed to me.
