Here’s another example of using what you have. This is a combination of two recent recipes (read that leftovers) and some green peppers that were on sale at an unbelievable price.

05/31/2011
For all practical purposes this is just about the same as TJ’s Garlic Rice Noodle Soup Bowl. The major differences are; this one has a little less sodium (salt), but still 1250 mg per bowl, and lacked a “vegetable packet”. Since the label says there’s a vegetable packet (spring onions) in the kit, and since mine was missing, I should call this Spring Onion-less Soup Bowl. But I won’t quibble.

I swear I wasn’t afraid McDonald’s would come after me if I used the words Egg McMuffin.
But the real reason we’re calling this McMessin is because we’re messin with the recipe.

Aldi versus Bumble Bee? Right down to the little plastic spoons, it’s hard to find any differences in these lunch “kits”.

TJ Indian Fare – Index – Food Review
05/15/2011
Trader Joe’s Indian Fare are quick and easy dishes suitable for a lunch, especially at the office. The main problem with most of these is, they are more like a sauce than a meal. TJ recommends they be eaten with rice, naan (Indian bread), pita bread or tortillas. That makes them a better meal, but also makes it more difficult to use as a quick office lunch. The main advantage to most of these is, they can be stored in a pocket-book size box at room temperature until opened, heated and eaten. Preparation involves no more than tearing open a heavy-duty plastic and foil pouch, emptying the contents into a bowl and microwaving for a minute or two. All of these taste good. Most have a medium heat. All will allow a little more variation into what we eat as everyday food without adding a lot of complication or expense. All are priced at either $1.99 or $2.19.
