Rant 296 / Can It Be Food Time Now?


A couple days ago I found this jar of biscuits at home. At first glance, the brown dots on the light brown cookies gave me the impression that they were some sort of nut cookies, either walnuts or almonds.

I was hungry, so I picked it up and checked the expiry date. My mum has trouble seeing small letters so she usually doesn't check all these things. What I found on the label surprised me - "Chicken Bak Kwa Cookies". (Bak Kwa = Chinese roasted meat slices)

Huh??

Meat cookies???

(Btw looks cool huh? Found this on /wg/ lol! Thought this pic would be quite useful for exclamations.)

So I opened it, noting the label on the cap that it says "Prima Deli", a confectionary that my mum frequents.

Taste-wise, it wasn't bad at all. The bak kwa is sweet anyway, so it didn't taste too strange with the buttery cookie. One thing I like about it is that there is a lot of meat so the batter was probably half meat, half cookie batter.

Its texture, though, has some room for improvement. The bak kwa bits was too tough. Though the cookie crumbled quite nicely in the mouth, the meat needed quite a bit of chewing. So overall they were like some sort of chewy meaty cookies.







Apparently there's a documentary called "Jesus Camp" (poster above).

From Wikipedia:

All three children are very devout Christians. Levi, who has ambitions of being a pastor, has already preached several sermons at his father's church, Rock of Ages Church in
St. Robert, Missouri
. He is homeschooled (as are many of the campers), and learns physical science from a book that reconciles creationism with scientific principles. He is also taught that global warming is a hoax and that the Earth's temperature has a history of natural fluctuation not caused by humankind (e.g., the Ice Age was not due to any industry or pollution by mankind). Levi preaches a sermon at the camp in which he declares that his generation is key to Jesus's return. Rachael, who also attends Levi's church (her father is assistant pastor), is seen praying over a bowling ball during a game early in the film, and frequently passes Christian tracts (including some by Jack Chick) to people she meets. She does not think highly of non-charismatic churches (or "dead churches," as she calls them), feeling they aren't "churches that God likes to go to". Tory is a member of the children's praise dance team at Christ Triumphant Church. She frequently dances to Christian heavy metal music, and feels uncomfortable about "dancing for the flesh".

Though it's true that our Earth has a long history of temperature fluctuations, the current levels of CO2 are unprecedented, according to our polar ice. The current temperatures are also some of the highest in Earth's history.

Our generation is key to Jesus's return. Every generation says that.

God can't dislike anything or he'd have completely destroyed your land the way Katrina levelled New Orleans. C'mon, the Bible has already depicted how he destroyed heathens. He leaves no prisoner. To say he is merciful is to imply that he changes or you're contradicting yourself. God cannot change because there are many undesirable implications to that.

And dancing for the flesh? LOL!

Aren't you glad you're living in a secular nation?

Btw check out the Trivia section at IMDB for this movie.

And here's a hilarious comment from www.imdb.com:

Should be categorized "Documentary/Horror", 16 November 2006
10/10
Author: Max Prodanov from Sofia, Bulgaria

This is really a horror movie. It's comparable to The Ring and Emily Rose.

I thought we were living in the 21st century. This movie reminds me more of the 16th.

On one hand, this movie is an unforgettable experience, like a dive into darkness. On the other hand, you're left asking yourself - "am I a sadist? I'm watching little kids getting tortured, brainwashed, their lives getting deformed". When you watch this movie, the first thing you want to do is go to IMDb and write a review about it.

So,

If you're in a happy mood right now, don't watch this movie.

If you want chills down your spine, by all means, watch it!

10/10









My breakfast:


On the left, "breakfast roll" ham wrapped around huge prawns cut into halves and baked, with some chicken sausages and black pepper sprinkled on the dish. On the right, pancakes made from pancake mix, with whipped cream on top.


RAWR!!
