Warcross is the story of Emika Chen, a broke Bounty Hunter from New York who’s (like everybody else on the planet) obsessed with Warcross. The story basically starts when Emika tries a hack during the opening game of the Warcross Games (think virtual Olympics almost) and boy does it not go according to plan! It’s a take on the ”In-the-future-some-people-have-special-abilities-for-X-reason” trope. It’s a great read and even though the books are quite long, they’re so good that reading them feels like no time has gone by.

The meals are divided into plastic bags, that come in a huge insulated cardboard box. Now, in the meal bags, most of the ingredients were packaged in extra Ziploc-type plastic bags which I find just adds to the plastic that I cannot recycle here. The recipe was easy to follow and was done in about 30-40 minutes, mostly because I’m slightly paranoid about fully cooking my meat since I got salmonella a few years back. It’s not something that I personally would order every week, but the website lets you skip weeks when you don’t want to order.

So, while I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about the box, it’s nearly a week of groceries for free , Laura (who gave me the free box) wrote to me letting me know that, in the summer, the meat and ice packs are packed in an insulated bag at the bottom of the box to stay cold for longer. The fresh herbs weren’t wilted, the meat was good quality and still cold when I opened the box. You also get a paper recipe card to keep in your files, since you can’t go back to the app’s recipe once the week is over.

I believe I have read somewhere that it’s a manga adaptation, if you know more about it, tell me in the comments, I’d like to read it! You can add a bit of sesame oil if too dry, it’s going to depend on what sausage you use I think. On the other hand, it’s really good AND it looks pretty close to the dish made by Park Bong Pal sooooo So that’s it for this week’s episode of  ”Andreanne
