One Heck of a Recipe
FOUND by Meredith in College Park, Maryland
Found this in a shopping cart at the store. I was intrigued by the items on the list; it looks like ingredients for some sort of casserole, maybe with some bonus ingredients of cough syrup and laxatives? Maybe for Sunday night dinner with the in-laws?

wow..this late in the day, and i'm first? Imagine that.

At first i thought it was a shopping list for chicken pot pie. I hope its not for a pot luck somewhere.

You'd fall asleep from the cough med, then dirty your pants.

i think i'll pass

Does the handwriting look to you like it gets looser, more tentative, and even a little hesitant or shakey down at the bottom of the list?

I think I have this recipe. It actually does use laxative and cough medicine in it. Just forestalls the constipation and allergic reaction!

Hmmm, I feel very sorry for anyone who has to take laxatives and cough syrup at the same time. Especially after the laxative kicks in and the cough syrup inevitably doesn't.

Mmm.. savory.

Haaa Mona! Dirty your pants, that's funny.

You probably won't even need the laxative after eatting that recipe, especially if the beef is tainted!!!!!

John, i can't see that link. The ubervigilant IT guys at my work have blocked it. They block nearly everything that's fun, 'cept for Found. I can't play solitaire, i can't look at tainted meat... sigh. What's the government coming to?

Maybe a little cough med before bedtime will help me to sleep more peacefully.

How about cheddar?

@Mona- We have mega-filters at my work, too. Someone has managed to find a solitaire that makes it through. Try SolitaireCraving.com. I was so excited when it came up because things are very slow at work lately, as evidenced by my very long posts!
+ July 11, 2008 08:37 AM +
reading too much in to everything
I'd say the first half of the list is to make chicken and dumplins.... mmmm

Ground meat because it's always a good standby to keep in the freezer.

Cheddar cheese... because who doesn't like cheese? Other than those lactose intolerant people in which case the laxative would not be needed...

I believe it'd be even worse if the cough medicine and laxative both took effect. Most cough medicine's knock me out... Something that would not be a good idea after taking a lazative!

But where's the can of cream of mushroom soup? And the Durkee french friend onions? Some casserole, without those...

gr meat = grizzly meat


Could be a bulimic person....always uses laxatives after eating. The cough med is for the kid at home with a cold

The laxatives could be for dessert, like the chocolate ones, yes?

I don't know what checken is.

@ LOLITA- YES... Ex-lax now comes in 3 different flavours, milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate!

thanks, mlm. That's blocked too. sigh

Lolita, i thought it was Checken, too.

Curious, i want to go to your house for a casserole, that sounds yummy

mm holly. sounds like a lovely dessert

Mona, don't be upset that Big Brother will not allow you to look at tainted meat online. We must think of the children!

The link in question makes reference to "gr beef" (ground beef?) recalled by Kroger. I happen to have grilled hamburgers for a friend and me made of said beef with no ill effects. Now I must decide what to do with the rest of it sitting in my freezer.

Voici your French friend onion qui parle.

Avec friends like moi you are never alone (though you may lose your other friends, especially avec le garlic aussi).

I thought it was "Mr Meat". I liked the sound of that. Intriguing.
+ July 11, 2008 12:05 PM +
It's like the meat at Taco Bell
Effie: It's actually Mr. E. Meat. Just in case you needed to know.

a mystery is even better than just plain old intrigue! wowee. Or maybe it's just meat filled with e numbers? hmm, not so good

just noticed someth in g interesting
It's not CHECKEN! The 'i' is dotted after all! It's waaaay over there by the 'k'. Gosh, no wonder we were all confused with that sort of camouflage. How tricky.

LOL @ ITS LIKE THE MEAT AT TACO BELL and EFFIE!!!

Never seen it spelled like, (Mr. E. Meat)I love that spelling!.....I've heard the yucky phrase only too often.
+ July 11, 2008 06:49 PM +
It's me again but I like to come here in disguise
Holly--Mr.E was a name from a board game from when I was a girl called Mystery Date. I don't remember much about it except that you opened a little door to discover your date and date could be a 'dud'. How true that turned out to be for me over the years.

As for Taco Bell and some of the other places I refuse to eat 'mystery meat' sums it up well.

Anyone notice the water stains...possibly crying over the fact they don't have laxative..and cough medicine is always a good way to drown your tears..*sniff sniff*

Looks like the fixings for chicken and dumplings, with hamburger for the next day when they're tired of cooking.

Cough syrup and laxatives reminds me of the old joke about the woman with a terrible cough who went to the doctor: "Doctor, I can't sleep, I can't eat, my head aches, my chest is sore from all this coughing. PLEASE help me."
He hands her a little pill and says, "Here, this will cure it." She doubts his word--it's just a tiny little brown pill--but swallows it down. "What's that supposed to do?"

The doctor replies: "Madam, you have just taken a large dose of the most powerful laxative known to medical science. Just try to cough now!"
