If you’ve never played Four Foods on Friday, then head over to Val’s Kitchen to read other people’s answers and to enter your answers if you’d like.  Val has a fun question this week:

“Name four things related to food that are strange or funny to you.”

Go to Four Foods on Friday to read more .

Here are Val’s answers:

1. Minute rice. It takes more than minute.
2. Freshly frozen. As opposed to frozen after getting stale?
3. Pasta. The pound of pasta isn’t always a pound now, sometimes the box is 12 ounces.
4. Pound cake. Some of the frozen pound cakes are only 12 ounces.

Here are my answers here at Healthy Home Blog:

(Our son helped me with the first one & then I thought of the others.)

1.  Instructions for frozen pizza say “not to eat frozen pizza.”  (Shucks!  I like pizza hard and ice cold!)

2.  On a bag of frozen cook-in-the-bag veggies:  “Cook in microwave for 8 minutes” and then it says, ” CAUTION: Bag is HOT!”   (Really?)

3.  On ice cream carton:  “Keep Frozen Until Served”  (I guess I can’t leave it out on the counter for an hour.)

4. On can of non-stick baking spray made with oil it says, “Do not spray into open flames.”  (Hmmm….it’s made with oil.   There are lamps that burn oil.  Makes sense to me!)

I know they have those instructions on the packaging for a reason, but sometimes they just sound so obvious!
