Scott and Jon's shrimp scampi pasta bowl!


I got the idea to do a blog post after I ate it, so I must apologize that there won't be a picture of the unboxed food.

But there is a video review, if you want to see the food outside of the box and cooked! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyLf1pVOc54

This is my first time doing this, and I have a lot to learn!

I decided to do microwave dinner reviews, because the quality of microwave dinners has highly increased, and it deserves recognition. Microwave dinners are way more accessible, and healthier then they were before, and the quality has gone up extremely within the past five years.

with microwave dinners becoming more accessible and healthier, they're also in better packaging. a lot of the packaging is recyclable, and some of them are even compostable! And as you can tell by the packaging, they are considering people counting calories, how much protein people are taking in, and other things, depending on what they're trying to sell. The efforts that are being made should be recognized.

The review:

I got this for $3.99 plus tax. I would say that it was small for the price, but worth it for the quality of food. The noodles were medium length and thick, the seasoning was light and mild, and definitely flavorful. And the shrimp was juicy, and flavorful, and there were more than three. I would say nine.

My only problem was the price for the portion. It was 8 oz or 227g, but I understand this is about quality over quantity. If you're looking for a full meal, have other things with this dish.

if you have the budget, go for it. If you don't, there are plenty of other microwavable meals with larger portions for the price!

Thank you for reading, and happy microwave dining!

Takoda Institute and adult education program REVIEW

The video: https://youtu.be/Uxcfu9c28YM this is a review of The takoda Institute adult education on Franklin avenue in Minneapolis Minnesota! Availability - they have reasonable daytime hours, 8 - 3 and 4. Accessibility - as someone who admittedly isn't disabled, I would say that the building is easy to navigate with wide hallways and a lot of movable furniture. The doorways do seem kind of narrow to me, so I don't know how someone with wheelchair would get into some of the rooms. But if someone who isn't wheelchair-bound I don't know what the necessary with is. But they feel narrow to me is an able-bodied person. Location - the main office in a lot of the adult education programs in a right on cedar and Franklin. These are bus routes blue Line, 22, 2, 67, and a 9 mainly. I would say that's a great location with high Public transportation traffic. cedar avenue and Franklin avenue are not so great during rush hour for personal vehicles. they do have their own parking...

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...

Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp

 A lot of you probably didn't notice, but Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp went down yesterday because the dsn a and AAA records were attacked. I don't have a full understanding of what that means, but given that the domains became available for purchase, I can make context clues based on the information I already have with my short time as a self-proclaimed internet historian. I'm also the type of person that is more interested in why this happened because what happened is a lot simpler to explain. What's not going to be so simple to explain but the media is going to try to explain anyway are the Pandora papers. The long records of a former employee recording all of Facebook's wrongdoings. I was one of the many watching the highlights of Facebook's hearing, but I wasn't watching them in full like many others. If you weren't involved at all, but you're getting involved now, you're about to learn a lot from the summaries of the Pandora...
