Or, effort is so something only rested people should attempt.
In lieu of writing things, here are some pictures with extended captions. I don’t tend to write about my children as I feel weird about documenting their lives in public, but can I just share that my 18 month old makes Taz and Animal look placid? I am a gibbering, drooling, aching mess of a woman these days.
Which is why I didn’t object to my husband serving the kids this one night for dessert.
I forgot to retrieve the wrappers out of the trash so I’ve no idea what these are called, only that he bought them at the Vietnamese/Mexican store. The head is marshmallow, covered with a chocolate shell and gummy decorations. It gave me the shudders and I refused to watch the children eat it.
Then today at Piggly Wiggly, I saw this:
I think I can speak for all Asians when we say we don’t need no freaking help and if we did, Betty Crocker/Hamburger Helper would be the last people we’d ask. I don’t think I’ll be making this, especially as I saw something even better across the aisle. Don’t ask me what it is, it’s a surprise!

I hate Hamburger Helper, so I will not be trying that monstrosity either. Although I must confess that I am so white that I really had no idea how to make stir fried rice until I read a recipe. Then I felt like a moron for needing a recipe to learn how to make it!
Perhaps they should have named it “Crazy-White-People-who-have-no-clue-what-they’re-doing-but-want-to-be-multi-cultural Helper” That seems more accurate.
Asian Helper? Bwa haa!
They sell those marshmallow treats at our Mexican/International grocery. I tell my kids they are mayo and keep on unloading the groceries…
That chocolate thing was a treat?
Really your hubster needs to get with the programme! Mind you, knowing kids as they are, if it’s covered in chocolate they will eat pretty much anything.
Tara´s last blog post..I love daddies (so let’s big up their blogs!)
OMG I can’t stop laughing at the Asian Helper.
As for the somewhat pornographic chocolate/marshmallow pop, *shudder*
Well, I don’t know about no Asian helper, but if you’ve ever had any of them thar bar-b-qued Mongolians you’d never go back to the helper…

Hi Tracy – Is the Asian Helper for real? I think I’ll pass. I always worry when I see new products and can’t pronounce the ingredients. I’ll bet this is one of those.
Barbara Swafford´s last blog post..What Benefits Does Your Blog Provide?
Ewww… to both of them…
@MajorMilkfunction I do not think the crazy is limited to white people in this case, it’s every one that is not Asian. I do not have a word for Asian people fool enough to buy Asian Helper.
@Panini I thought it was going to be cotton candy!
@Tara I think that they chose it themselves. I don’t know where I went wrong raising them. How could you eat something with a face so crudely evil?
@Katherine I am refusing to ask where the vague pornography comes in.
@George A good friend of mine went to a real Mongolian BBQ and said that it’s nothing like what we have and they boil an old sheep or something.
@Barbara Heh, you should see my review of Macaroni Grill’s Chicken Masala in a box. It comes with a foil pouch full of wine!
@Titmouse you said it!
I think Asian Helper has got to be like one of the four horsemen of the apocolypse or something.
The have Mongolian BBQ helper in Mongolia. It’s called Airag, drink enough and you do not care what you eat. Although there are those squeamish types who would refuse to drink from a communal chipped china bowl filled with fermented mares’ milk.
