Walmart ice cream sandwiches don't melt in the sun

21. While it's tempting to use this thread to

bash WalMart, I'd rather make a plea in favor of real food.

I used to have an ice cream maker (got left behind in a divorce) and every so often I think about buying a new one. These days I live alone and it hardly seems worth the effort, but I probably should get another one.

Several years ago I was racing to catch an airplane, and needed to grab a quick bite to eat before I drove to the airport. I stopped home and heated up some leftovers in the microwave. But the leftovers were real food, and I found I could not just gobble them down. In really did need to take time and savor the flavors. Fortunately, I had enough time to do that, but it was an important lesson to me.

I don't always fix real food, but I try to do so most of the time. Even with the limitations of what I can buy at the supermarket, it is amazing how much better real food tastes than the stuff they try to pass off as food.
