Rice with "sugar and cream"? No, sorry. That's not dessert, much less a meal. (Rice pudding? That's dessert, and maybe a meal under some circumstances. But I digress...)
Nice cooking layout, though.

"Even a child" can cook our product! They had to eat something in the murky past before Hot Pockets™.

It's not fair! All my mugs are mismatched and chipped. And all my cocktail glasses say witty things like "Historic Dubuque" or "Instant Jackass: Just Add Alcohol."

Always serve tall foods with your tall drinks. Dagwood sandwiches, for instance. Generous stacks of pancakes (especially appropriate with a breakfast drink like "The Alamo.") Or kebabs standing upright in half a strategically placed cabbage.
