I Love Big Cheap Food

August 7th, 2008

New Trip to Gordon Food Service

I forced myself to get a haircut, and while I was beyond the cave mouth, I made a run to Gordon Food Service for some wonderful Stanislaus Super Dolce Pizza sauce. I bought two gallon cans, for $11.58. The price has gone up, but you can still top around a thousand pizzas for under twelve dollars. And it’s wonderful on pasta.

I checked the frozen cheesecake while I was there. Remember now, this is what you generally get when you order cheesecake in a restaurant. A few restaurants make their own cheesecake, some order from bakeries, and a lot buy pre-made cakes from food service companies. And guess what? They’re full of guar gum and Crisco. The ingredients are listed on the sides of the boxes you never get to see. So when I tell you I have the only good cheesecake recipe in the world, you ought to listen. It’s nearly true. Have you been to the Cheesecake Factory? Cheesecake is their main draw, and their version tastes like sweetened lithium grease.

It’s hard to believe how easy it is to eat well for cheap. They had huge slabs of spareribs for $1.59 per pound. It’s funny, but some of the best foods on earth are also among the cheapest.

I’m going to slop together a pizza, with Costco cheese and Super Dolce. I already know it will be great. I may chop up the provolone to see if I can get away with using four ounces. I’m concerned that by not using slices that totally cover the part-skim mozzarella, I’m inviting scorching. I guess I’ll find out.

Are you as creeped out by the Muslim threat to attack at the Olympics? It has been giving me the willies since yesterday. A few days back, I had a dream about the Olympics, in which a big translucent stadium sort of a thing was essentially melted by a terrorist attack. It glowed kind of a yellowish orange, and it sank inward from the top.

These guys are like psoriasis. They never go away.

Now I’m more creeped out than ever. I just took a look at the National Stadium in Beijing, and it sure looks like what I saw in the dream. Although I think the stadium in the dream had translucent sides, sort of like the swimming stadium.

Anyway, I am really tired of videos from Islamist nuts.
