For the time being you’ll have to keep up with the horseshit in Washington, D.C., all by yourself.

In this post: Schwan’s, foreign food news, miscellaneous crapola.

I woke up hungry this morning and I’m still hungry right now as I write this post. I suppose I could shlep into the kitchen and find something to eat — what normal people do when they’re hungry — except I’m waiting for Schwan’s to show up with our biweekly load of frozen whatnots! Our friendly, uniformed doofus will be here about an hour from now (usually by 11:30) laden with corn dogs, teeny tacos and omelets. Yay, people! A photo of Schwan’s teeny tacos appears below for your possible interest.

While I’m on the subject — food, what else? — let’s take a look at the latest from Burger King Japan. It’s the Black Ninja Burger, which gets its hue from the bamboo charcoal used to make it. The Black Ninja comes fully loaded with a Whopper patty, fresh onions, lettuce, mayo, a slab of hash browns and the biggest wad of bacon I’ve ever seen. Those wacky Japanese!

I’m tempted to write about the government shutdown except ... I just can’t. My stomach wrenches up into a knot up every time I think about it and yesterday I actually had to take Imodium twice. So this post will focus on meaningless food news and I’ll fill my day with old movies, an afternoon nap, “Top Chef” and waiting for FedEx to deliver my Russell Stover chocolates. For the time being you’ll have to keep up with the horseshit in Washington, D.C., all by yourself. Thank you.
