Fancy New Things

Grocery shopping is one of my favorite activities for some reason. No worries it's not to interact with folks as I tend to go at off times to avoid the large crowds. I do write a list of stuff I need but that's more like a suggested list outside of what the wife aka "la jefa" wrote down. With that said I do like to peruse the aisles and see what catches my attention. Easily the best marketing strategy and/or my biggest weakness is the word "NEW" on something. Chances are if its new and seems above average in the interesting scale, I'm most likely going to buy it and try it. Tonight's dinner was no exception to that trap.

Now originally I was thinking about going out to go grocery shopping and that in itself would be an excuse to stop somewhere and get something to eat. Upon a suggestion in a group text with the wife and Tina, it seemed like the agreed upon item was going to be a delicious gyro. I think sensing that I was going to go alone and/or her not being able to partake in said gyro,  Tina contacted her favorite weather wizard Tom Skilling. He in turn unleashed a heavy rainstorm in the Chicagoland area that heavily dissuaded me from venturing out to the outside world. "CURSES! YOU WIN THIS ROUND TINA!" might have been uttered...or I may have recorded a video and sent it Tina shaming her for killing my will to get a gyro.

So what was a boy left at home alone to do? The only logical option: check inside the freezer and find something he forgot he had previously bought. And what did this lonely gyro deprived boy find:

Doritos Loaded- Nacho Cheese Flavor

Notice on the top right the word "NEW!" Ding! Ding! if you guessed that was the reason I most likely bought this box of frozen food. Plus I mean Doritos most likely made me think "how can you go wrong?"

Goes in the oven 450 degrees for 12 minutes

So surprisingly these weren't microwaveable which I think kind of goes against something that would be frozen and look like fast food type quality. Still 12 minutes in the oven isn't too shabby. Figured I would serve up my immature food selection on a fitting plate.

Nothing can kill the Grimace

So honestly I don't remember a noticeable taste of Dorito flavor as I would have hoped for. The main flavor was mostly the nacho cheese flavor you get from when you order nachos in the movie theater or some other similar establishment. Also it was a bit peppery seasoning wise in my opinion. It's very likely that I was still let down from the foiled plans of obtaining a gyro for a different level of unhealthiness. I mean they weren't horrible but not really something I'd buy again...unless of course I saw the NEW! verbiage and forgotten I had tried them before. That really isn't out of the realm of possibility.

There's always tomorrow I suppose..as long as no one tells Tina...who probably just read this... CURSES!
