Hey! I have a better idea!

Last night I was looking up various ways to make broccoli and cheese. Simple, yes. I had a brick of Velveeta, frozen broccoli, rice/noodles, cream soups..etc at my disposal and was going to find some casserole recipe. All said and done, I just melted the cheese on the broccoli. This, however is not the point.

People will voice their opinions on just about anything as a blog comment no matter how trivial and mundane the original post may be. I found a question on Yahoo Answers (a veritable cesspool of information) that was similar to my broccoli and cheese needs. The comments were outstanding. There were people posting completely different recipes for this girl to try instead, people telling her to just throw out the Velveeta and go buy some real cheese, arguments about the importance of Veganism, Europeans making fun of fat Americans and so much more! I was expecting to come across a comment about how processed cheese is one of the causes of Global Warming. But, alas I did not.

Give me a fat, flabby American break. Spare yourselves the small physical effort to move your fingers across the keyboard and go back to your coffee house poetry readings. Or simply skip the question all together and find something you are interested in. Perhaps berating a girl who asked how to make a damn broccoli casserole on Yahoo answers is how you get your kicks. To each his own.

I'm going to go back to sucking down Milanos and watch South Park.

Eh, Yahoo Answers is worthless.

As far as broccoli and cheese goes, a delightfully unhealthy option is to mix the broccoli (cut small) and melted cheese or small bits of cheese together in a casserole dish, top with crushed Ritz crackers and bake until bubbly. Oh my heck it's good.
