giant crap

Hello, hello! It's been a while, I know... but heck, does anyone out there really read my posts? If they do, then THANK YOU! hehe

Nways, just needed to hiss a little. But first, I'll start with some purrs.

Our oven (for those who don't know, my hubs and I have moved into our own cosy lil pad) is finally working! It was a looooong and painful journey for it to be so--let's just say that my kitchen people are a bunch of BSers--and finally today I got to test it.

Opps, that was a hiss, wasn't it? Okay. Anyhow. I made baked chicken breast with herbed butter, along with some savoury Mexican brown rice. They each took around 40 minutes or so to prepare and cook. The rice turned out really yummy ("like restaurant" says the hubs, yippee!) but the chicken? Hell, they tasted totally off!

Mind you, it's not my cooking ya (the herbed butter sauce turned out tasting fine) but it's 'cause the chicken itself--they were busuk, can you imagine!

This totally ticked me off, man! Especially since we just went grocery shopping earlier this week. Plus, the label said that the expiry date is 2nd Nov if refrigerated/later if frozen. And I usually freeze my meats.

That's not all, people. Yesterday, I found my kitchen drawer where I keep potatoes, onions and garlic full of flies, maggots and teeny-weeny eggs. Why? Because some of the potatoes were rotten, argh!

To top it all off, the mixed salad weren't that fresh, either. We had to throw some out.

Sigh. What's up with the stuff sold at Giant? The hubs and I have vowed to never shop there again. I seriously feel like feeding the chicken to the owners...
