So I ate this food with my mouth the other day and hey listen to this:

A continuation of this thread, because I really like hearing about the things people are eating.

Nothing too fascinating here lately, though I had a perfectly serviceable goat biryani last night.  I also had Chicken Pakora, which were fucking awesome in my mind when I was ordering them.  However, when they were delivered, they were basically just semi-soggy chicken fingers with a slight curry-ish flavor.  REALITY LOSES AGAIN.

The upside of this is that I'm now pretty sure I could create my own chicken pakora, and mine would be like twenty times more delicious.  Project time!

i forgot to mention: the mustaine coffee isn't too dark, and has a nice earthy thing happening, but it keeps you shredding all day long.


i mean that in a good way.

I had a great big burrito from Oso Burrito earlier. It was pretty tasty. Tonight I think a bunch of us dudes are going to an Indian place for my buddy Shane's birthday, which was the same day as Aug's.

[heather marie]

i'm gonna make pakoras real soon. like, maybe tomorrow.

right now i'm making a big ol' pot of chickpea noodle soup from veganomicon for richard. he's getting sick (or already there) and we're detoxing from all the nasty shit we ate in indiana so i figure this will be good. smells awesome, will report back later. but carrots, onions, garlic, mushrooms, chickpeas, soba noodles + broth = can't go wrong with that, right?

Man, I should get a really nice dinner this evening. Where should I go?

[Ah_Pook]

go get a steak topped with blue cheese and possibly other things.

or get a sushi feast. like so much sushi.

[G.C.R]

go for malaysian.

i got a waitressing job at this swish asian restaurant, and it is possibly the simplest thing in the world, but why had I never before discovered the wonder that is coconut rice? (especially when you add satay sauce and chilli powder.)

Damn. A really fat steak sounds really good. You might be on to something there.

[clare]

melting moments. yum. made by the talentrd chick at the cafe near where i work, that has just closed down. i guess i'd better learn how to make them, but if i knew what was in them i probably wouldn't want to go near them.

[diesel_powered]

Okay, so dig this. I went out and grocery shopped and ended up having a steak the size of a toilet seat with blue cheese, asparagus, and potatoes. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

So my gf drug me here today www.georgetowncupcake.com and we waited in line for over an hour.  I bitched and moaned the whole time, but I gots to say, that was the tastiest fucking cupcake I've ever fucking put in my mouth. fuck.

I had Indian food for lunch. Usually the place is pretty expensive, but on weekends they do a lunch buffet and it's awesome! Chicken curry, bread, rice, chutney, repeat. Delicious!

[heather marie]

Red lentil dal with rice, and some sort of gigantic baked samosa contraption that I will call "calmosas" because the dough was more like a calzone dough than anything else. Oh, how I missed real food.

My birthday today, so I sprung for the good shit at the gourmet pizza joint. Italian sausage, roasted peppers, spinach, goat cheese and cheddar. A fine pizza.

[girl]

Happy Birthday, Arlo!

[hannah]

I will watch some fine Canadian comedy in your honor, sir.

[YojimboMonkey]

Goddamn.  Mapo Tofu.  Who'da thunk it?  That's some good shit.

Also that sounds like a pretty damn good pizza ellaguru.  And a happy birthday to you as well.

hm, all that sounds amazing too.  I will buy your cookbook when it becomes available. 

[ellaguru]

Thanks! The pizza was good, the birthday drinking the night before was good. All told, a decent weekend to get older.

A friend of mine had a Miracle Fruit party the other day.  Miracle Fruit is an African berry which is made of REAL LIVE MAGIC; you eat one, and it temporarily changes the way your tongue senses flavors, mostly making things seem sweeter, less sour, less bitter.   It lasts for about a half-hour, then disappears.  The big hits were the following changes:

Lemon tasted like it had been dipped in confectioner's sugar -- still a bit sour, but the sweetness blasts right through that.

Grapefruit tasted like some kind of delicious citrus candy, all tartness and bitterness removed but with a definite grapefruit taste still, unlike any other fruit.  This seemed to be everyone's favorite.

Guinness tasted like a wondrous cupcake -- without the bitterness, it was like a dark, sweet, slightly-chocolately baked good.  No one else seemed to agree with me on that, though.

One of them super-sour gummy worms?  It tasted exactly like a regular gummy worm.  Definitely not the most interesting of the foods, but the clearest proof of the chemical effect.

Baking chocolate tasted a bit less horrible, but it didn't end up being delicious or anything.  Still, it didn't have its standard effect of making me feel like I was eating a particularly unsavory dust kitty, so that's something.

A fascinating night!

[theothermike]

Where did you get those? That sounds awesome.

[Wally]

I think those things would have freaked me out a little, i like to have a rough idea of what something tastes like before i put it in my mouth.


I just had some palak paneer, it was alright if a bit of a rushed job. I probably should have ground up those cadamon seeds Of course if greg had eaten it then it would have tasted of apple tart.

[diesel_powered]

Are you sure it was a "magic berry", Greg?

Are you sure it wasn't LSD?

[Ashley]

That is fucking amazing and I absolutely want a miracle fruit party.
