Beefy baked mac and cheese with cheesy breadcrumbs
Review: Lol, this is hamburger helper. Don't get me wrong, "cheeseburger macaroni" was my favorite growing up. I expected more of a bake and less of a spread. Also, I didn't detect any breadcrumbs. Tasty enough for nostalgia. Won't order again.
Chipotle BBQ chicken bowl with pico de gallo & avocado
Review: Tasty but unremarkable. No need to order again.
Chicken curry enchiladas with cilantro rice
Review: I was really hungry when I ate this and it was really good! That is to say *I* liked it. I wasn't expecting Indian curry (probably cause it says Japanese curry), but still quite delight. One coworker said it smelled like ramen, another said it smelled like goldfish crackers. I don't know man, they're odd ducks. Anyway, I would order this again.
Chicken ropa vieja with arroz moro and roasted sweet plantains.
Review: The packaging was faulty on this one: the bowl peeled with the plastic. I burnt the crumbles on the plantain following the microwave instructions. Still ate it though cause I was curious. I think it was cheese. The chicken and rice was a bit salty. I don't know what the cream was but I mixed it in. Not first string, but I would try this again.
Blackened shrimp & fresh corn grits
Review: Hmm. This was okay. I definitely finished it. Would I order it again? I don't think so.
BBQ chicken with gooey mac n cheese
Review: actual grilled chicken, tangy bbq sauce, very creamy, cheese-y mac. Tastes like more. Would order again.
Creamy shrimp scampi cavatelli
Review: creamy, garlicky, lemony, shrimpy. Warmed up evenly in the microwave. Nice portion size. Would order again.
Hey gang,
Do you have any tips / strategies / techniques for improving Mini and Midi completion times?
I can answer the clues correctly for the most part (unless it's a particularly tricky puzzle), and I don't use autocheck anymore 😭 BUT...
I'm at war with my coworker and he's absolutely MASSACRING me 4 days out of 5 and I can't have that anymore.
For instance, yesterday on the mini I got 35s and he got 23s. On the midi I got 2:50 and he got 2:10.
Please help me not resort to violence.
How can I improve?
I play the games against myself nearly everyday. Hoping for a few friendly rivalries.
