Engine Oil?


Well, even though I love to cook, I also enjoy fixing my car up. I drive a Red Honda Prelude with a modified Exhaust, 8000k HID lights, a Aftermarket Intake, and a bunch of other miner things. My question is, does society really care what kind of engine oil they use? I used to be very picky and only use the expensive ones like Mobil 1 and Royal Purple, but it seems the cheap old Chevron brand which is the fraction of the cost ($6-7 compared to $2-3) has the same affects, what do you guys think?

Chinese Delight


So today I felt like making something from home, Cha Siew Goon Fun, its a chinese dish like a egg roll, but not fried and with bbq pork. Ended up wasting around $12 and made a soup to go with it, very filling and have so much soup left over, the rolls disappeared in under a minute. Heres the recipe to make it if your interested.
32oz of premade Rice Flour Roll
1/2 cup of beansprouts cooked
1/2 pound of BBQ'ed pork chopped into small pieces and mixed with Hoisin sauce
couple pieces of Cilantro

Just add everything and roll it like a egg roll, but don' fry it =D, just dip it in some soy sauce or hot sauce and eat.

Lunch


So I enjoyed a simple lunch, grabbed some chicken ramen and some frozen won tons my mom made and boiled everything together. Added a little pepper, but was kind of sad that I didn't have any eggs. It was still good without it, gotta say college students do love there ramen.

Immitation The Big Mac

Alright, so after watching a video of how to clone a Big Mac (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqVCk2oDpSE), I decided, hey I could make this. Went to the nearest market and bought a couple of things to stay in my $15 dollar budget feeding 5 people, ended up spending a little over $15 but it was worth it. Decided to stack the ground beef together in the freezer with wax paper and ended up making a bigger mess then I thought. Made a sauce with mayonnaise, thousand island dressing, salt, sugar, vinegar, and diced up some pickles. I have to say, even though it was a big mess stacking the breads after cutting them into 3 pieces, the food was delicious and the sauce complimented it very well. Tomorrow, I'll make a soup, now just what kind of soup should I make?
