dear vege ginger chicken,

you came highly recommended, and therefore left me highly disappointed. i stared at you in the freezer for days, afraid of your modest serving size (2 oz? seriously?) and high caloric content. today, too lazy to walk to whole foods for something else and too cheap as well, i zapped you in the microwave for 2 1/2 minutes, as recommended on the box.

you were too sweet, too chewy, a little too gooey, and not flavorful enough. i have never enjoyed seitan so little and used so many calories at the same time.

shame on you, vege ginger chicken. and now i have 50% of the package (2.625 servings) left that i'm going to have to eat or toss tomorrow. double shame.

at least i have some frozen edamame for a snack later, to make it up to my growling and unsatisfied belly.
