While in the local Walmart the other night doing a his and hers tandem-Wednesday-night-grocery-shopping rarity... breathe... I found the latest and great thing. This is it! (sorry for the cheap phone pix)
 |
| Individual portions of the spices needed to make the dish! |
 |
| And...the recipe and cooking instructions on the back! |
1. For $2.28 you get the spices you need for this meal rather than like $20 for the large bottles of each spice.
2. They are pre-measured so no trying to figure out the difference between tablespoon and teaspoon.
3. The recipe is on a sturdy card you can keep for future use.
4. Even a cooking savant like me can probably do this right!
I'll be making this bad boy Sunday night, I'll let you know how it turns out.
Oh yeah, and I'm really pissed I missed the genius boat again with this simple idea. Maybe I'm too complex
and need to dumb myself down a bit...do ya think?
What great ideas have YOU had just a little too late??

What a brilliant idea! The person who thought of it deserves to make a fortune - I just wish it had be me that thought of it.
Neil: It made me wonder what I'm NOT thinking of right now that'll be a hit next year. I hate that.
Chuckie why are you still shopping at Wal-mart don't you know that they contributed to speeding up the apocalypse? Gah!
what about if you were extra hungry, or you were cooking for more than 1, would you need 2 packages? (just wonderin)
My wife needs that - she tends to skip the measuring part. Food is always edible but impossible to repeat!
WVW: Sad but true. Unfortunately I can no longer afford to do all my shopping at Whole Foods.
Baygirl: This prepares 1 1/2 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breats. That's about a normal 4 pack of chicken. Plenty many.
Alex: I'll let you know how it goes...since I do all the cooking, I tend to get a little loose with the measuring myself. This should save time and be more accurate1
I'm still pissed I did not think of selling rubber bands in animal shapes to every teen in the world.
I tend to cook without a recipe, just close my eyes and stir. By some strange miracle I have not killed anyone yet!
Trying To Get Over The Rainbow
I saw this at the store the other day also. I thought the same thing. DAMN, why didn't I think of that!!!!!
I told Al Gore about my internet idea and he keeps trying to take credit for it.
Jules: I don't think I could dumb myself down enough for the rubber band thing...but it looks like I'll have to try to.
Pat: Made the recipe last night and turned out pretty damn good...also found out I need a bigger skillet, made a huge mess on the stove!
PTM: That bastard! I think he is also actually trying to take credit for global warming...just saying, with his house and all...
