Healthy Choices Cafe Steamers Beef Merlot

I'm not doing a video with this one because this is one of my regulars. I would rather record myself experiencing something new with the audience. 

Even though this packaging is aesthetically pleasing in a calming way, I don't have much appreciation for the small text. The instructions are also very small on the box. But I will say that it's easier to open than the traditional box. So you have an easy to open box with tiny print!

But the instructions on this meal, like most of the cafe steamers series is for it to be simple. You don't need to cut a hole in anything remove the film, just throw it in the microwave for the appropriate amount of time.

For the sake of value, you can find these costing $2.99, $3.99, or $4.99 depending on where you are and where you bought it from. $4.99 and $3.99 it's worth it. $4.99 is pushing it.

You likely won't get full, but you might get near there depending on your own body. some people might want or need two of these to get full, but I wouldn't say that you would want or need three. It doesn't hurt to eat something with these microwave meals, for the quantity that they are these days.

I would say that it's a medium to high quality meal. The tender beef, sweet crunchy baby carrots, and near fresh feeling potatoes, and green beans in savory seasoned gravy make me a repeat purchaser of this product!

if you see it for less than $4.99, definitely go for it if you want to try it! If you see it from more than $4.99, wait for it to go on sale. it's not worth more than that, because there's no guarantee one plate will get you full.

thank you for reading this review, and I hope it was informational and that you enjoyed it!

healthy choice Cafe steamers grilled chicken marinara with parmesan

I'll skip the packaging review, because you already know that part from the two previous blog post. My opinion about that hasn't changed. This is also another regular purchase for me. the overall packaging of the meal is great quality, but the parmesan amount can vary. Be aware that they skimp on the parmesan. The chicken is tender, and the noodles and broccoli have a slight firmness. It's all Greek to Me. The sauce in this one is on the weak side, in my opinion but still flavorful. something I'm noticing so far with a lot of these microwave dinners is that they're not full dinners because they focus on quality over quantity, but the quantity is was lacking. It's also the same price as the others: $2.99, on sale. Normally, $3.99 or $4.99. it won't get you full, but it can hold you over for an hour or two. I would say it's worth two or three, but not four.

I don't think miraculous was trying to be sailor moon but they have a lot in common

Here are some parallels between miraculous ladybug and Sailor Moon! Daft, clumsy teenager that believes that she's a loser when she's actually loved by everyone.  Unnecessary unhealthy and toxic relationship practices due to secret identities.  Talking animal partners. Queer coded characters! Although Sailor Moon was way more out loud about it! I don't know what France is doing. Characters lose their items and swap powers. We love power swaps, though! Love interest getting shot down and trying to deny their feeling, which makes everything worse. I will say that on Marinette's end, she never really got shot down. She just didn't know how to handle being a friend. Some of the characters can never fall in love, because of their duties. Miraculous wrote this in as a very self-imposed rule when they don't follow the boundaries that they set for the show in any other case. In Miraculous, relationships can work if people make better decisions. In Sailor Moon, the sailo...

Racism, Tim Burton, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

A lot of people have forgotten about this, but a years ago, Tim Burton said that he doesn't cast black people because race has nothing to do with the context of any of his movies.  I think this happened after Beetlejuice 1988. Black people were casted as football players in the afterlife. That makes sense. Most football players are black. We figured out decades later why that's problematic with the Kaepernick situation. Entertainment is all black people are allowed to have so when an entertainer has a political opinion it's easy to tell them to shut up. "Dance, monkey! Dance!" narrative. But with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice having that soul train scene after he said it, the context tells me that black people are allowed to exist in Tim Burton's aesthetic if they are not stereotypical singing dancing caricatures.  A lot of (white) people will argue that Tim Burton isn't racist because he casted a Latina to play Astrid. The problem with that is a lot of Mexicans...
