It's The Little Things

The Pony works hard. Five days a week. His two days off are not consecutive. One of the small pleasures The Pony has are his suppers. He skips lunch, choosing instead to be paid for that half-hour, and not wanting to feel bloated while trying to complete his route. So he snacks on his break time, but waits for a big meal at the end of the day.


A couple days ago, The Pony made burgers again. I don't know what he used the paprika for, or the bag of Knorr noodles or rice. Maybe it wasn't for that meal.


As a side dish, he had CRAB RANGOONS. I can find them at the Hillmomba Save A Lot. They're not as good as the ones from an actual Chinese restaurant, but good enough to keep in the freezer and cook at your convenience. The Pony has looked for them over in Sis-Town, but none of the stores carry them.

Anyhoo... last time I went to Save A Lot, I picked up two boxes of crab rangoons for The Pony. He still had part of a box in his freezer. So he cooked those when he made the burgers. It looks like a LOT, but I'm sure The Pony is hungry after a day of walking 11-12 miles on his route.

Now I'm going to look for crab rangoons in all freezer sections of our supermarkets. Maybe I'll find some...

River,
Good luck! I'm surprised that I can only find them in one store. You'd think there would be other brands offering them, along with all the other frozen Chinese foods in boxed and bagged varieties in the freezer section.

We had some campers one time that really loved the crab rangoons from the local Chinese restaurant and confided that before they pulled out they bought 60 to freeze. I found this odd, since the RV's have limited freezer space. I like them, but the ones they went nuts over were just mediocre to me.

Kathy,
There's one place around here where the crab rangoons are the best I've ever had. But I still wouldn't buy them to freeze. I doubt they would come out of my oven so delicious.
