So by now most of you have heard about world hunger and realize that it is not a fun thing, the way we were promised it would be (remember the ad campaign for "World Hunger Day"? That didn't end up being so much fun, did it?) So what can we do to fix it.
Well, I sat down with my closest advisors (a small flashlight, a cup of peppermint tea and a nickel from 1949) and tried to solve this thing so that we can go back to just eating and not feeling guilt for doing so. I wanted to make use of existing food sources so as not t tax our already delicate ecosystem. I decided that we need to repurpose our surplus and turn it into a food item that can be shelf stable and tasty and which we can give to all the sad and poor people (happy poor people need not apply). Now to identify the raw materials which we have in excess of need.
Last week, in the midst of my current stage of "not wanting to make dinner but still want to eat it," a stage which has lasted for many, many years, and sees no sign of slowing down, I ordered Chinese food. My usual order is simply an order of plain chicken wings. Ironically, it is brought to me by someone who uses a car. I think that's ironic because, you know, wings. Maybe it isn't. When it arrived, it came along with a host of packets of sauces, some Chinese noodles an fortune cookies. I'm just one guy who wanted some wings. Do they think I am sharing this with the entire block? And this isn't the only time. I am saddled with a large collection of Chinese noodles, fortune cookies, Chinese mustard, Duck Sauce, soy sauce and hot sauce. Now, sure, I could drive around and hand them out to individual sad people, but I think that it would work out better if I could create something and mass-distribute it.
So I encourage all my chef type peeps, grind down the noodles and/or cookies, mix them sauces, and come up with the food that will save the world.
The rules -- you may not add any other ingredients.
What can you come up with? Please let me know and then provide an address so I can send the many, many packets and collections of crunchy things and you can feed the world. Let them know it's Chinese New Year time.
