So, as I briefly alluded to with my last post, a trip to the real-life, big city grocery store brings both trials and tribulations, including the almost comically depressive existential decline of this very blog's content. I remember when this blog used to be grassroots, man. Cell phone photos and hairbrushes all over the place. Now I'm just surrounded by women, empty space, and a thousand and one iterations of Pop Tarts that no man truly needs. The selection at Target has me yearning for the days of limited-edition Doritos that weren't throwbacks to throwbacks debuting in 2007 but really in 1963?
The sheer overload has me grabbing shit off the shelves just so I can get home and watch Community. Last week, one of those shits happened to be these spring rolls. Congratulations, Davio's, and may God have mercy on your fillet of sole.
Also, Davio's assumes its core demographic still lives with their parents. Is there anyone they don't abjectly hate?
Let's get one thing off our chests: the sauce I made to accompany this, per Davio's tutelage, bears a disproportionate resemblance to human waste. It only adds insult to injury that I attempted to arrange the rolls as though I was presenting them to a party of six drunk twenty-somethings after a showing of "Love Actually" and a rabid desire for closure and saturated fat. However, it did help detract from the sheer richness of these rolls, like mozzarella sticks wrapped in spring rolls and carefully aggregated marketing data targeting my generation's inability to let go of their childhoods. I'm surprised it didn't come with a $2 off coupon of the Blu-Ray re-release of The Princess Bride.
