good morning

Don't you dare get between Caid and his toasted English Muffin with cream cheese and blackberry jam.

i had breakfast at the pikes this morning with my cousin amy. this is a picture if hers...mine's there in the background. it's pretty much the same...except i also had a bagel and cream cheese.

yummmmm

consideration

today i was going to just go nuts and have ice cream for lunch.
then i saw a block of tofu in the fridge and thought better of it.
then i had the ice cream.

cheerio

i officially cannot concentrate...i might sprint down the street to buy chipotle chips like i did yesterday. when i returned from said run and offered one to my my british office-mate, he was startled for a moment, and  told me that he still thinks of chips as being what we know as french-fries, even though he's been living in america for 15 years.

i asked what he called them instead..."crisps," he told me.

i said amusedly that i should start calling them that...to which he replied "you might offend someone."

life lesson #3

nice soft brie on garlic toasty crackers is the bomb.


(well...this was a life lesson for me, anyway.)

...

it has been 36 hours since i made eggplant parmesan and my skin finally doesn't smell like garlic anymore.

vin

my roommate laura and i had wine and cheese for dinner tonight.
at one point she was describing to me the different things i could taste in her special bottle of Beaune-Montrevenots Premier Cru, that she bought while she was in france a few years back.

i swirled it, i sniffed it, i sipped it, i held it on the front of my tongue, on the back, and then swallowed it...and for the life of me all i could taste was "red wine".

oh well...at least i can still be a lord of the rings snob.

curry

sometimes i reeeally miss kuala lumpur

growl

it is not lunch time
but chipotle calls my name
yummy burrito

bring out the best

what's the big deal with mayonnaise? why all the hate? you can't have a decent tuna sandwich without some. greek yogurt just doesn't cut it for me.

yum

this year i have discovered refried beans, kimchee and coleslaw.
