I won’t pretend that sometimes slow service isn’t strictly the fault of the server.
Nabs are what you eat when you're kind of hungry, but not enough to eat an actual meal.In other words, they're acceptable to have when you're fixin' to eat and they won't ruin your dinner like candy or potato chips—or so says my mother.
Lance, Tom's, Keebler, and Kellogg's Austin brand might be the top purveyors of peanut butter crackers, but they are all called Nabs too.. Nabs are what you eat when you're kind of hungry, but not enough to eat an actual meal.. My hometown, Winston-Salem, has a very complicated relationship with Nabs, specifically Nabisco.In 1986 R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (maker of Camel and Newport cigarettes) and Nabisco joined to create RJR Nabisco.The company headquarters were moved from the Camel City to Atlanta, taking thousands of jobs with it.
The city became a shell of itself and in many respects, is still trying to recover from that loss.Many millennials and Gen-Xers around my age remember taking field trips to Whitaker Park to watch cigarettes getting rolled, manufactured, and packaged.
We were given packs of cigarettes to give to our parents but the most exciting part of the field trip was receiving The Token..
The Token was a coin used to insert into a Nabisco vending machine to receive the snack or pack of Nabs of your choice.I think after all these years, the idea of a pot of rice taking more than five minutes from start to finish would be offensive to him, or at the very least, just not at all worth the effort.
And I guess I can't blame him.. As someone approaching the age my parents were when they were raising my sister and me, with.fewer responsibilities, 30 minutes for a whole pot of fresh grains is still a stretch most days.
Especially when they've got stuff like microwavable cups of "ancient grain blends" and pouches of quinoa that are perfectly steamed in 30-seconds.On more occasions than I'd like to admit (especially since quarantine), I've turned to a fake-fancy, marketed-to-millennials instant grain product.
