Chef Boyardee is persona non grata [View all]

Chef Boyardee is now persona non grata

So the SO and I had a disagreement.

I contribute a variable amount to food purchases monthly.

I made the mistake of coming home from the gym on my bicycle with the remains of a large Cofair sub which I proceeded to eat in the kitchen.

This initiated a lecture about not making unnecessary food purchases when we have food at home.

So to learn a lesson, I was to buy my own food and cook for myself for the remainder of the month.

This really sucked, because the SO is a gifted cook, cooked professionally for 20 years, and I have been known to burn water.

So we went grocery shopping together.

When we got to canned goods, I grabbed Chef Boyardee. Several varieties.

Like 20 cans worth.

Then to deli for a big bag of Smith's Bologna, and bread.

"Why are you buying so much of that?" You should get healthy food!"

Then it began

As a bachelor for decades, a can of Boyardee and a sandwich is a gourmet meal.

Cereal for breakfast.

Pop Tarts for snacks.

She would follow me to the pantry.

"Are you eating that again?"

"No wonder you can't lose weight!"

"That's so unhealthy! Full of sodium!"

(Very true. But I ain't hungry either )

Days later - "ISNT THAT SHIT GONE YET?!"

A week later, tried to sneak a can up to my attic man cave for the ham radio net, eating C ration style cold from the can...

"PUT THAT BACK! I DONT WANT THAT UPSTAIRS!"

The next evening, got a text while in the cave - "Get your stupid ass down here, it's dinnertime!"

Homemade chicken pot pie soup to die for

"Don't ever let me see that crap in here again!"

Thanks, Chef Boyardee!

(If you ever have time, check out the history of Chef Boyardee.

He helped feed the hungry during the depression.

Still a bargain at $1.25 a can.
