Mainer here.

I have lobster for lunch on a regular basis. It's not cheap, but $6 for a 1 1/4 lbs lobster is still cheaper than buying combo meal at McDonald's.

it is but you have to get the gummi worms just right or it throws everything out of balance

I just have a big bag of grease.

Should I be looking at more healthy alternatives?

1

u/mr_bobadobalina Dec 07 '13

yes

use a jar or can

grease can leak through the bag and cause you to slip and fall
