You Don't Need A Hard Hat To Tackle A BIG AZ

I ate a burger from a vending machine once.  I know, the horror.

I was working as an operator for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (great job, by the way) and in the break room they had a vending machine stocked with more than just candy. They had burritos, mini-pizzas, and burgers. It’s the first time I’d ever seen a burger in a machine. I don't eat food out of cans (like Spaghetti-O's or SPAM), and I thought vending machine food fit into that same category.  But then I thought, how bad could they be? Microwave burritos are good. Microwave pizza is edible. And how different can they be from a burger at a fast food joint?  I should just try it. 

So I did.

That was over a decade ago and I’ve never eaten food out of a vending machine since. The closest I’ve come was a hot dog on a roller at a truck stop.

Then, recently, I was asked if I was interested in reviewing a convenience store food product.  They'd provide me with the product and pay me to post a review on my blog. Pay me to eat something?  Helloooooo….these people totally speak my language!

They asked for an honest review - which if you’ve been reading me for any length of time, you know that's what they'd get. Do they know I freely give my opinion, asked or not?  This is The Daily Rant after all.

Let's get started.

As most of you know, Ed and I have a full kitchen in our truck.  We have a fully stocked pantry, and if you’re a regular reader, you’ve seen the meals I’ve been able to whip up - pizza, my father's famous chili, apple crisp, scallops, braciole, sausage and peppers, and so much more.  But eight years ago, in our old truck, we had the same amenities most drivers do – a fridge, microwave, hot-pot.  Some drivers crank it up a notch and carry a crock pot or BBQ grill in a side box. On a daily basis we ate oatmeal, soup, sandwiches.  I've even had cereal for dinner - those little containers they have at the c-store.  In addition to the food we ate in the truck, we also ate in truck stops and restaurants along the way.  

But sometimes, you just don’t have time to stop for a sit-down meal. Sometimes you’re in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night. That’s usually when a craving strikes. A craving for something you can’t get your hands on.

Like a burger. What if you’re in the mood for a burger? Or, better yet, what if you want to stockpile burgers in your cooler for those times when you are rollin’ down a highway in the middle of nowhere? Believe me, it happens. Miles and miles and miles without a truck stop or restaurant. If you have a craving, you’re plumb outta luck.

Unless you have a BIG AZ.

No, I’m not making fun of the size of your tuchus. I’m talking about BIG AZ burgers and sandwiches!

Here’s the scoop.

The burgers come wrapped as shown in the photo above.  You can find them in the cold sandwich case at truck stops and convenience stores.  The ones I bought ran me $3.99 per burger.  They also make chicken sandwiches, but the place I stopped at didn't have any so I bought the two types of burgers they carried.

We tried the Bacon Addict Cheeseburger and the Kickin' Jalapeno Burger.  Since there was no way I was going to take a photo of me eating a burger - believe me, I would have totally taken a picture if I looked like this  - I snapped a shot of Ed getting ready to devour one.  A real-live trucker.  In a hard hat.  I actually stopped him from working on the truck to sit down and eat one of these burgers.  It was lunch time so he wasn't hard to persuade. 

But before he ate it, I made him measure it so you could see how big the BIG AZ actually is!  This is not a kiddie meal burger.

They come pre-cooked and ready to pop in the microwave.  90 seconds and they're ready to eat.  Both Ed and I commented on how blazing hot it was coming out of the microwave. You really couldn't even hold it.  Which is a good thing because I like my food piping!!  The cheese was nice and melty and the bun was soft and pillowy.  

We - I even got my  mother in on the taste-testing - were all surprised.  The burgers were better than expected.  When I bought them at the convenience store, the cashier actually raved about them. She kinda went on and on about it.  Normally, that would have annoyed me, but in this case, she totally gave me hope.

The jalapeño burger was our favorite.  It was spicy, cheesy, and satisfying.  The bacon burger?  Just okay.  The bacon flavor was there, the bacon smell was there, but the actual piece of bacon was a bit limp and unappealing.  I don't know how it could have been crispy considering how the burger is prepared, but it wasn't the end of the world, because the the burger was still very edible.  Overall, they were good.

I can't say this type of burger tops ones I've had at my favorite burger joints, but that wouldn't really be a fair comparison anyway.  They're just not in the same category. Ultimately, this is a very convenient way to have a burger any time of day. Especially in a truck.  Middle of the night craving is where it’d come in handy for a night driver.  And if you're like me and want convenience, or you don't want to get out of the truck in the middle of the night, having a few of these in your cooler can get you through to your next meal.  You can totally buy a few days' worth - the AdvancePierre Foods website says they're good up to 14 days in the refrigerator (365 days in the freezer!).   This is the perfect way to have a burger or even a chicken sandwich whenever you want.  They even have breakfast sandwiches!

So give them a try.  They're available nationwide and you'll be in good company - people like them so much they've been awarded the convenience store consumer's choice award year-after-year.

A Leaf Springs Into Art

In 1882 James Harvey Williams and Matthew Diamond started a drop-forging business in Flushing, New York called Williams & Diamond.  Drop-forging is a process of heating metal and hammering it into a die (cast) to form a product - the hammer is raised and then "dropped" onto the piece to form it into the shape of the die that's being used. In 1884, Williams & Diamond moved to Brooklyn and was renamed J.H. Williams & Co.  It was known as one of the first companies to make mass-produced drop-forged hand tools.

J. H. Williams was eventually purchased by a company that today has immediate name recognition as Snap-On Tools.  Williams is now a subsidiary of Snap-On Industrial Brands.

This sculpture, made by Mike Lettera of Carpenter Avenue Classics, is called the J.H. Williams Desert Leaf, because it's made from automotive leaf springs and sits on a vintage forged wrench made by that very same J.H. Williams & Company.

Here is another blog post I found with a little more information on the J.H. Williams Company.

Have A Drink With A Siren

I need one of these mugs.  They're part of the Starbucks Anniversary Collection and they're just cool.  And I love the mermaid on the bag of coffee.

I'm leaning towards this one.

I always use the term mermaid, but Starbucks calls them sirens. Apparently, there is a difference.

The Image Character Of Poop

Emoji - those little icons on your phone - originated in Japan.  Today, most people couldn't imagine sending a text message without them.  

In Japanese, "E" means image and "Moji" means character.  Image Character.  Some of them are really cute, and many are sent to replace complete sentences.  My friends and I even have emoji with secret meaning.  All I have to do is send one little cartoonish icon and a complete conversation has been had.

I love getting emoji in a text or an email. They're fun. Creative. Silly. There are emoji I wish existed, ones I never use, and ones I don't even understand.  Like the poop emoji.  

Why??  Why do you need to send a pile of shit to someone?

Well, there's actually a little history on how the poop emoji came to be.

I understand there are situations where it fits - a shitty day, feeling shitty, your boss who's acting like a shit - but I'm still not entirely sold on it.  The visual of a pile of poo?  Not my thing.

But what's even more perplexing than using the poop emoji in a text or email, is the person who'd buy a poop balloon.  Sure, it makes a perfect gag gift, but I'm guessing the poop balloons that flank the checkout lines at Walmart aren't being purchased so much for gag gifts as they are by parents for their kids who are begging for them.  Kids always think poop is funny.

That said, I don't care how much my kid screamed, I would not be buying them a balloon shaped like a pile of shit.

Ed Is The Estrella In This Scenario

Over the weekend, we visited Arizona Soaring located at the Estrella Sailport in Maricopa, Arizona. Ed is interested in learning how to fly gliders and wanted to talk to the instructors and see the facility in person.

We met one of the instructors, Ron - who happened to be from Brooklyn and have ancestors from the same part of Italy my ancestors are from - who was happy to answer questions and show us around.  I listened to the initial information but once he wanted to go tour the hangar, I decided to hang back with my friend Kim and wait for Ed to finish up.  It was so hot at this point that Kim and I went to wait for Ed in the car.

Until he called to tell me he was going up for a ride in one of the gliders!  Here's Ed with the glider he's going to be riding in.  They are pulling it onto the runway to position it for takeoff.

The gliders don't have any power - no engines - they're propelled by the air flowing over the wings. And in order to get into the air that's going to flow over those wings, they have to be pulled into the sky by a tow plane.  This is the tow plane.

In this photo you can see two tiny specs on either side of that skinny cloud trail - it was the glider that went up before Ed.  At takeoff, the glider is connected to the tow plane with a cable.  The tow plane starts down the runway, pulling the glider behind it, and takes off like you'd imagine any plane would. 

The glider is pulled by the cable into the air...up, up, up....until they're at about 3,000 feet.  At that point, the glider pilot hits a lever that releases the cable.  For safety, the tow plane swoops off to one side, the glider to the other.  The glider is now on its own, at the mercy of the air flow.

Here you'll see Ed watching Ron prepare the glider for his ride.  He was doing a pre-flight inspection - checking the wings, controls, look for damage, etc. - pretty similar to what we do when completing a pre-trip inspection on the truck before our trips begin.

The glider is very lightweight, it's made of fiberglass and weighs about 1,500 pounds. There's actually a weight limit for the front of the plane where the student sits.  So if you're a fatty you can't even fly in this thing.

Here's Ed after getting into the glider.  He shimmied in, put the harness on, listened to Ron explain about the gauges, familiarize him with the flight stick, and more.

The cockpit area looked a little tight, but not as tight a fit as James Cameron's ball was.

Here they are, ready to take off.

Those two tiny dots are the tow plane and Ed's glider behind it.

They were up for about 30 minutes and the instructor even let Ed have a few minutes with the controls. Then he asked Ed if he liked roller coasters.  Of course Ed said yes.  The instructor proceeded to do a few dips before taking the glider in for a landing.  

You can watch a very short video of Ed's landing here:

Be Virtually Anywhere

My Real Life boyfriend wearing his new Virtual Reality headset. 

We had a layover in Oklahoma.  He left the truck to get a few Redbox movies and came back with the movies, two kinds of microwave popcorn, a gallon of drinking water, and this headset.  I should have known something was up when he was gone for almost an hour.  It doesn't take an hour to pick out two movies.

He set them up immediately when he got back to the truck, and for the next hour moved his head around like Stevie Wonder.  Up, down, side to side.  He even stood up at one point and turned around, still looking up down, side to side.

He let me try them and they're actually pretty cool.  You really feel like you're in the scene that you're looking at.  I walked the streets of Venice, stood on a cliff in Greece to watch the cliff divers, and marveled at the brilliant white snow on the Swiss Alps.

Yep, I'm definitely losing Ed for a while.

He has a new mistress.

Cargnegiea Gigantea

The path up to the giant Saguaro was only one of the inclines on our 2.3 mile hike yesterday.  Me, Ed, and my friend Kim met at 6:15 a.m. to do this hike in Catalina State Park.  The early hour was my idea because once the sun comes up, it's too hot for me.  At 6 a.m. it was already in the seventies.  

I was happy to see the largest cactus in the United States because it marks the beginning of the trail's descent - the steps up finally head downward just after the top of the hill. You can see Ed and I glistening from our uphill effort HERE. The hills are easy for Ed and Kim, but for me, it's like climbing Mt. Everest.  By the end of this hike I was a dripping mess. But I did it!

Here are a few fun saguaro facts from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum:

• The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is one of the defining plants of the Sonoran Desert. These plants are large, tree-like columnar cacti that develop branches (or arms) as they age, although some never grow arms. These arms generally bend upward and can number over 25. Saguaros are covered with protective spines, white flowers in the late spring, and red fruit in summer.
  
• Saguaros are found exclusively in the Sonoran Desert. The most important factors for growth are water and temperature. If the elevation is too high, the cold weather and frost can kill the saguaro. Although the the Sonoran Desert experiences both winter and summer rains, it is thought that the Saguaro obtains most of its moisture during the summer rainy season.
  
• You find this cactus in southern Arizona and western Sonora, Mexico. At the northern portion of their range they are more plentiful on the warmer south facing slopes. A few stray plants can also be found in southeast California.
  
• The saguaro is not currently listed as threatened or endangered. Arizona has strict regulations about the harvesting, collection or destruction of this species.
  
• With the right growing conditions, it is estimated that saguaros can live to be as much as 150-200 years old.
  
• Saguaro are very slow growing cactus. A 10 year old plant might only be 1.5 inches tall. Saguaro can grow to be between 40-60 feet tall (12-18m). When rain is plentiful and the saguaro is fully hydrated it can weigh between 3200-4800 pounds.
  
• The saguaro is the largest cactus in the United States.
  
• Most of the saguaros roots are only 4-6 inches deep and radiate out as far from the plant as it is tall. There is one deep root, or tap root that extends down into the ground more than 2 feet.
  
• After the saguaro dies its woody ribs can be used to build roofs, fences, and parts of furniture. The holes that birds nested in or "saguaro boots" can be found among the dead saguaros. Native Americans used these as water containers long before the canteen was available.

Friday Night Lights

Last night I went to the first high school football game I've ever been to in my life.  And it took place at the high school I went to over 20 years ago!  When I attended this school as a student, I'd never even stepped foot on this field during high school, but from what I remember it looked pretty much the same.

The reason I was there?  My two nephews  - one a junior, one a senior - were playing and I was invited to watch.  I'm not much for sports and can probably count on less than two hands how many sports-related events of any kind I've attended.  I once went to a professional game in my early twenties when my cousin got tickets to a Jets game at the Meadowlands in New Jersey.  I don't remember a thing about  it other than thinking it was a really great place to people watch.

I don't know if last night's game was a good one - I have no frame of reference when it comes to sports skill - and because I don't have any clue what was going on or who had the ball, I can't even tell you if they, as individuals, even played well.

But the woman in the stands behind me was screaming like it was her job, and they won 28-2, so I guess the game was a success.

Go, Dorados!

Primary Refraction

A storm heading to our side of town brought a rainbow to grace our mountain.  It's actually a double rainbow - you can see the very faint arch of the second one on the left side of the photo.

Interesting rainbow fact:  In a primary rainbow, the arc shows red on the outer part and violet on the inner side. This rainbow is caused by light being refracted when entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it.
