Reality (n.) - the state of things as they actually exist; as opposed to an idealistic viewpoint.
Nick and I have really been on a Shake-N-Bake kick and it only took us three weeks to stumble across the idea of baking a few breasts, slicing them up and tossing them on a salad to have a delicious lunch. For a great Sunday lunch Nick got out the chicken and whipped up a few breasts baked to a golden perfection with that delicious crispy outer layer.
A few blog posts ago I mentioned how I bought four bags of frozen cranberries for $2. We added some of those, made a base of lettuce and homemade bread-crumb croutons topped with a dollop of Ranch Dressing and dug in.
With all of that being said I wanted to show how delicious the salads Nick fixed for us looked. It made me think back to an article that showed the depressing examples of reality foods versus expectational food. If you'd like to check that article out via College Humor be my guest. Simply click here and prepare to constantly be reminded of how crappy the foods we actually prepare are compared to their ads.
