According to....

The little square on my Minnie Mouse watch, it's still August. Barely still August, but August nonetheless. So when the phone rang and it was my Mom, I was uneasy. Somehow, I knew this would not be a pleasant call. Don't know exactly how I knew, it was, as Inspector Finch says in "V for Vendetta", just a feeling. And I was right. Mom wanted to talk about Christmas. In August.

When will we have Christmas with Dad's side of the family? If we have it at the cousin who hasn't had it yet's house, then technically, The Boy and I could "magically" do Christmas with his family too (his family lives near my cousin) and golly gee, we'd be "open" for Christmas and could go see Mom and Dad. Sigh. We do this every year. The time we spend with them is never enough, we might spend 30 minutes longer with someone else, their visit is always so compressed, we're always in such a rush to get out. Oddly enough, we see them once a month, maybe once every two months the rest of the year. The only time we don't talk weekly is when they're traveling. As counterintuitive as this seems, getting hounded about Christmas plans in August doesn't make me want to drop everything and shove everyone else aside to make Mom happy. I'm a contrarian, you see.

And thus the Great Christmas Debate of 2008 starts....only 116 days to go!

blog to blog, part II

As interesting as the Omnivore's list was, someone from Slashfood came up with an All-American list. In the interest of fairness.....I'll post it too.

Totals: 34 No items, 51 Yes and 15 "I haven't, but would". Not bad.

  1. New York pizza--Yep, this April
  2. Hoppin' Joh--Don't think so, but I would.
  3. New Mexico green chile--probably
  4. Homemade buttermilk biscuits--YES, I do love a good biscuit
  5. Tasso--don't think I've had this
  6. Whole Maine lobster--Yep, although I don't like for dinner to look at me.
  7. Calabash-style shrimp and hushpuppies--Not sure what "calabash-style" is, but I've eaten my fair share of hushpuppies
  8. Kansas City barbecue ribs--nope, but I would
  9. Hot glazed Krispy Kreme--I will ONLY eat them if the HOT light is on.
  10. San Diego fish taco--don't eat fish, so a fish taco is out
  11. Cheese curds--yep
  12. Key lime pie--yep
  13. Philly cheese steak--no, but I'm intrigued by them (a REAL Philly steak "wit", that is)
  14. Memphis pork barbecue sandwich--Absolutely....yum!
  15. Lowcountry boil--No
  16. Huckleberry pie--No and I'm not sure I'd be interested. Raw huckleberries, sure, but I don't like cooked fruit.
  17. New England clam chowder--yep
  18. Boiled peanuts--yes, although I'm not a huge fan
  19. Buffalo burger--yes. have ground buffalo in the freezer as I type
  20. Eggs Benedict--nope, egg yolks
  21. Pastrami on rye--yep
  22. Corned beef and cabbage--I think so
  23. Pancakes with maple syrup--yes
  24. Everything bagel with cream cheese and tomato--I've had an everything bagel with cream cheese, don't recall if I had tomato too
  25. Thin Mints (preferably frozen)--the only kind of GS cookie I order every year, no matter what. and they hide easy in the freezer.
  26. Frito pie--I wish I could say I'd never been introduced to these delish things. Occasionally, I will make veggie chili and get 2% cheese so I can have one without fearing a coronary.
  27. Potato knish with mustard--no, but they sound really good...I have a weakness for any kind of dumpling-y thing.
  28. Silver Queen corn on the cob--I've eaten tons of corn on the cob in my life (not lately, of course), but I don't know that I've had this variety
  29. Soft pretzel from a street cart--yep
  30. Fresh-picked blueberries--yep and I was the person who picked them
  31. Sourwood honey--don't like honey
  32. State fair funnel cake--of course...and I've helped make funnel cakes
  33. Chesapeake crab cakes--I love crab cakes in general, but I'm not sure I've had authentic "Chesapeake" cakes...I certainly would if I had the chance
  34. Candied yams--for me, vegetables and sugar are NOT a good combination. I typically sneak a piece of unsugared yam out of the bowl when Mom makes these
  35. Oyster dressing--don't eat oysters
  36. Snow cone or snowball--From my favorite "frozen sugar water stand" just by Burns Park.
  37. Wild Alaskan salmon--I don't think so. I've had smoked salmon a few times, but I don't know its origin.
  38. Sautéed morels--yes.....and I pine for them
  39. Persimmon pudding--nope and not inclined to
  40. General Tso's Chicken--not a huge fan of chicken, especially not at home. Chicken fat or connective tissue freaks me out, so any chicken I eat has to be VERY well-trimmed. I don't trust that the average restaurant will do that.
  41. Frozen custard--yep, although our local Shakey's is now a Shakee's and they did something weird to their recipe. Can't eat it now. (Technically, most of what is sold as "ice cream" is actually "frozen custard" because one drop of egg is the difference between the two. If I'm making ice cream at home, it's ice cream and NOT custard. Dealing with warm dairy and eggs is too much of a PITA to me.)
  42. Italian sausage with peppers and onions on a hoagie bun--yep
  43. Chili dog--oh my yes
  44. Buffalo wings with blue cheese--see chicken phobia above. Bony pieces have all kinds of unsavory bits.
  45. Spam musubi--if I ever make it to Hawaii, maybe
  46. Saltwater taffy--yep
  47. Fluffernutter sandwich on Wonder Bread--don't eat marshmallow or Wonder bread, so no
  48. Black and white cookie--I think I have, but I don't get what is supposed to be so incredible about them
  49. Frybread--no, but it looks VERY interesting
  50. BLT with thick-cut applewood bacon--a BT perhaps, but no L
  51. Baked beans--yep
  52. Pumpkin pie--no
  53. Collards with vinegar and Tabasco--yep
  54. Tex-Mex fajitas with skirt steak and sautéed peppers--yes, I've participated in the fajita craze. I do find it a bit more work than I generally want to do when I'm eating in a restaurant. My fav "good thing" to eat at a local Mexican place is beef fajitas, extra peppers, no tortillas, no sour cream, no cheese. I just eat the meat, veg and guac (their guac is REALLY good).
  55. Fried green tomatoes--yes, they don't do much for me
  56. Succotash--no, but I'd probably like it
  57. Shrimp and grits--Oh my yes. I had this one year at Acadia (birthday dinner) and a friend re-created it a few nights later....I was one.happy.girl.
  58. Hot water cornbread--yep
  59. Barbecue chicken pizza with red onions--nope
  60. Chicken fried steak--I do love a good CFS. I'll eat the ones at KFC if I get desperate enough
  61. Carnitas burrito--yep
  62. Apple butter--no (cooked fruit thing)
  63. Geoduck--not by itself...I may have had in clam chowder or fried clam strips
  64. Soft-serve ice cream cone dipped in chocolate shell (especially Dairy Queen)--Oh yes (but not lately)
  65. Pecan pie--I've never been one for really sweet desserts and I'm not a fan of nuts in things (I do like them alone, but since the braces, not so much). However, pecan pie is a breeze to make and apparently, I do make a good one.
  66. Catfish supper at a church or fire station--how about a fish fry at a farm shop? Not that I eat the fish...I usually just have fries and hushpuppies
  67. Oysters Rockefeller--nope
  68. Homemade cranberry sauce--I'm not a big cranberry fan, although I will make a cranberry relish for Mom and The Boy
  69. Pimiento cheese--I didn't think I liked this until I had some a friend made, not bought. If all pimento cheese was like D's, I'd love it.
  70. MoonPie washed down with R.C. Cola--I realize this is heresy coming from someone born in the South, but Moon Pies have never remotely sounded good. RC is OK, I guess.
  71. Pickled watermelon rind--nope, just can't do it
  72. Cracker Jacks at the ball game--yes
  73. Smithfield ham--I think so
  74. Meatloaf and mashed potato blue plate special at diner--absolutely...I love meatloaf and mashed potatoes
  75. Chicken and waffles--no and I don't get why this would be an interesting combo
  76. Po'Boy--yep
  77. Green bean casserole with French's fried onions--nope, don't eat green beans
  78. Stuffed sopaipillas--had them, not stuffed
  79. Turducken--I find the concept interesting, but I'm not a big fan of any ingredient other than the stuffing
  80. Shad roe on toast--no
  81. Sweet potato casserole with or without marshmallows--prefer my sweet potatoes roasted
  82. Cioppino--no
  83. New York cheesecake--yep, delish
  84. Pan-fried river trout--no
  85. Jambalaya--yes
  86. North Carolina pig pickin'--haven't participated in this exactly, but I have been to a BBQ where we cooked an entire pig (and yes, it cooked over smoke and a low fire all day so it was in fact a BBQ, not a cookout)
  87. California rolls--my favorite kind of sushi
  88. Burgoo--I made a version of it, not terribly authentic. It was good. I'd be interested in trying authentic as long as it's not so authentic that there's game in it.
  89. Penuche fudge--nope and it doesn't sound that interesting
  90. Fried peanut butter and banana sandwich (the Elvis)--nope, don't do bananas
  91. Scrapple or livermush--no, although I have had goetta which is pretty good
  92. Elk medallions in red wine reduction--I was tricked into eating elk chili once....that's as close as I intend to get
  93. Muscadine grapes--I have muscadines growing in my yard
  94. Cheeseburger at backyard barbecue--at a backyard COOKOUT?!?!?! yes
  95. Open-face turkey sandwich--nope, not a turkey fan
  96. Chicago deep dish pizza--I think so
  97. Cobb salad--yep
  98. Peach pie a la mode--I'll eat peaches a la mode, but not pie
  99. Macaroni and cheese with Tillamook sharp cheddar --no, but I grew up on Kraft mac and cheese!
  100. Root beer float--root beer.....bleah, no

blog to blog

I don't normally do the "I'm posting something on my blog and I invite everyone else to join in" thing, but this one from Very Good Taste (that I got via slashfood) was pretty fun. I'm known to be a picky eater, but I only had 24 no's had 41 yes's and 35 would's. I think that's not bad, but obviously I have work to do!


Here’s what I did:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

The VGT Omnivore’s Hundred:

1. Venison: Not intentionally, anyway. I almost want to cross this out because I think deer are more valuable as wildlife than food. The Boy would say it violates my "don't eat anything cute" rule. Which I don't actually have.
2. Nettle tea: I can't imagine why I wouldn't have this. I drink every kind of tea made.

3.
Huevos Rancheros: Never had it. Can't figure out how to turn the underline off, dammit.
4.
Steak tartare: Goodness yes I'd eat this, but I haven't. (please ignore the underline)
5. Crocodile: No, because I'm quite sure it tastes chicken and while I will eat chicken if I HAVE to, I do NOT like it.
6. Black pudding
: Haven't, but I probably would.
7. Cheese fondue: HAVE eaten....in Lucern Switzerland.
8. Carp: Not a big fish person, so I'm putting this down as a "no".

9.
Borscht: A year ago, I'd have said "hell no", but I've fallen in love with beets. So yes I would try this, although I haven't.
10.
Baba ghanoush: No, because there's eggplant in it.

: Mt. Bethel at Altus makes really good blackberry, blueberry and elderberry. I have some in my pantry right now. Have and would again.
19. Steamed pork buns:

20. Pistachio ice cream: I believe I have and I certainly would again
21. Heirloom tomatoes: Have some on my counter right now. They are incredible, especially the yellow ones
22. Fresh wild berries: Absolutely. I picked dewberries as a child and now I pick wild blackberries on our land

24. Rice and beans: Absolutely. Have and would again

27.
Dulce de leche : I think I have a jar in the pantry

Baklava: I've had it, but I don't really like it.
30.
Bagna cauda: I'm there. I would, but I haven't.

46.
Fugu: I haven't, but if I ever got the chance to do it right, I think I'd have to.
47.
Chicken tikka masala: It's chicken. I'm sure it would be safe, but there are Indian dishes I'd rather have.
48. Eel: I've tried it, I do not like it

49. Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnut
: Oh yeah
50. Sea urchin: I don't think I have tried this, but I think I would.

Prickly pear:I don't think I have tried this, but I think I would
52.
Umeboshi : Nope, I like fruit plain and raw
53.
Abalone: I would try this in a second
54.
Paneer: I typically pick it out of my sag paneer
55. McDonald’s Big Mac Meal: I've never had a Big Mac. Two all beef patties I can live with, but it's the "special sauce, lettuce, pickles" that get me. And the extra bun. Please, I'm watching my unecessary carbs....

56.
Spaetzle: Here's where I'd prefer to use them. I've never had spaetzle, but I'm fascinated by them.
57. Dirty gin
martini : I've had a sip of The Boy's. It's OK. I really prefer just the olives.
58. Beer above 8% ABV: I'm 99% sure I've had something that fits this

59.
Poutine : french fries topped with fresh cheese curds covered in gravy. Yeah, I'd try it.

75. Roadkill: hell no

76.
Baijiu: A Chinese liquor. I was ready to say "yeah, I'd try it" until I read that some compare the taste to diesel. I'm trying to cut back on my diesely-tasting foods. I find them to be nutritionally poor and high in calories. Who needs that? I'll save my calories for Poutine
77. Hostess Fruit Pie: I've never had one of these. I don't like fruit pies in general (don't like cooked fruit) and these have never tempted me.

84. Tasting menu at a three-
Michelin-star restaurant.: haven't, but I would
85. Kobe beef: I've had the variety used for Kobe (Wagyu) that was raised in Australia. That count?
86. Hare: Nope, too close to rabbit

87.
Goulash: I haven't just had goulash, I've MADE it....tasty stuff. When it cools off, I'll make it again!
88.
Flowers : Yes, I've eaten flowers on salads
89. Horse: No, but I've seen a store in Italy that specializes in Carne Equina

90. Criollo chocolate: oddly enough, I haven't had this, that I'm aware of, but I would....oh my would I ever!

91. Spam: sad to say, I've had Spam. I'm not proud of it.

92.

93. Rose
harissa : haven't, but I would
94. Catfish: I'm sure I've eaten it, but I can't recall it. Not a big fish person

lox : Real bagels and REAL lox....Oh my yes
97. Lobster Thermidor: had it, loved it
98.
Polenta : I really like polenta
99.

100. Snake. Uh, no. See crocodile

Not on their list, but Vegemite. It sounds interesting. My current boss has a small jar on a bookshelf that was probably a present from someone who'd visited the AU office. If I make it to the Land Down Under, I'll try it.

Three times this week....!

I've managed to work out to a DVD I have three times this week. Admittedly, Sunday's was easy although it did make the day "start late". Today's was as well since I took today off. Tuesday, I made myself come in and work out before I started dinner, before I worried about what the kitchen looked like, before I read the mail, before I checked what was on TV. That is what I'm going to have to keep doing. If I get up late on the weekend, I can't use that as an excuse to not work out. If I have even a little time on a weeknight, I'm going to have to work out. Dinner can be a little late.

While I'm proud of my accomplishment, I know I'm not "done". Baby steps.....

Bunny ears

I'm often accused of having "bunny ears". No, they're not long and soft, they just work really well. Sometimes, too well. A team near me has a status meeting at 9 am every morning. Three of these people work in hard offices in a row just outside my cube. Do they get together to meet? Heck no. They ALL THREE sit in their offices, with the door open on speakerphone. And two of them, including their team leader, don't have "inside voices". One guy, who doesn't work in this office, but who is generally on the call, has even less of an "inside voice" than they do. Seriously, I think they could go outside to meet and they'd hear him 30 miles away. With multiple people on speaker, the echo of everyone's voice rings down the hall. Drives.me.frakking.nuts.

Headphones should be required equipment for anyone who has to speak aloud during the day and if there were a way to disable a speakerphone unless a door is shut, I'd so buy it and install in each office near me. Of course, why 3 people who sit near each other can't get in one room and shut the door is beyond me. If only I could tune out the idiocy......

heh

I really like the song "Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado and Timbaland. I find the banter back and forth fun. However, there is one line that cracks me up every time I hear it. In one bit, Nelly says "What kind of girl do you take me for?" Uh, sweetie....maybe a PROMISCUOUS ONE?!?!

I know, I'm easily amused.....

I used to like John Lynch

But then he signed with the Broncos. I really really don't like the Broncos. When they released him, I hoped he'd sign with someone else. He's a good player and I like watching him. So he finds a new team. New England. If there is anyone I like less than Denver, it's the lying cheating cheater cheater pumpkin eater Patriots.

Favre to the Jets, Lynch to the Pats. I'm going to have to stay high from September to February for this season to make any sense.

Anti-Temple Food

While "Temple Food" is what one should have, and often, what one wants more often than not can easily be classified as "Anti-Temple Food". Today, I'm ready for lunch at 10:30 am. Snacking for dinner with too many refined carbs and not enough protein combined with skipping breakfast can do that for you. So what might I want? The latest thing to hit my "There's no way I should ever eat this again, but it's so good you know I will" list: a BBQ-stuffed baked potato from the new BBQ joint in town.

It's a well-respected place in other parts of the state and we got a store about a year ago. They have large baked potatoes that they put lovely chopped pork, *real* butter, and cheese on. I generally make 2 meals out of one, which is certainly better than eating the whole thing at one sitting. But it's sooooo not what I should be eating.

Olympic thoughts

Synchronized diving is interesting. Don't know that I'd seen much of it before. The men's uniforms don't leave much to the imagination.

Beach volleyball is not a sport. It's an activity people do because laying out on the beach is boring. Yes, there are other faux sports in the Olympics. NBC hasn't shown any of them when I've been watching.

Indeed.....

This may be the best Living Will I've Seen



I,__________________, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means. Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it, or lawyers/doctors interested in simply running up the bills. If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of the following:

Glass of wine
Chocolate
Sex
Martini (preferably a chocolate one from Acadia)
Cold Beer
Chocolate
Chicken fried steak
Cream gravy
Sex
Mexican food
Chocolate
French fries
Chocolate
Pizza
Sex
Ice cream
Cup of tea
Chocolate
Chocolate
Sex
Chocolate

It should be presumed that I won't ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes, let the 'fat lady sing,' and call it a day!

 

Temple Food

Nigella Lawson refers to healthy food eaten after a period of indulgence as "temple food". I love the concept and need to put it into practice, especially this week. Trying to think of a spot to GRAB some "temple food" however, is not so easy. If it were, I'd probably eat "temple food" more often. Subway would be an option, but I'm not a big sandwich person. Plus Subway's bread is too much. Salads? Yes, salads, especially lightly dressed like I like them are good temple food. But a nightmare to eat with braces.

Sigh...I may just have green tea.

What I've learned

A blogger I read is currently posting about things he learns on a daily basis. Unfortunately, I'm not that diligent about being aware of my learning opportunities, nor am I that regular a blogger. But today, on the completion of another trip around the sun, I'm posting about things I've learned since my last trip.

I'm sure I learned a lot more than that this year, but those are the things perking in my mind at the moment. Here's to another round trip.....

The JETS?!?!?!

Bleah, bleah and double-bleah. Brett Favre a JET?!? ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHH. I hate the f'ing Jets. They are one of the few teams that I will ONLY watch if a Team I Love (tm) is playing them and has a decent chance to win (considering that Miami is in their division, that's generally not been the case recently. Oh, they play the Jets, they just haven't done well against them.). I hate the Pats and I hate the Jets, but knowing that Brady and Co are going to wipe the floor with the Jets isn't enough for me to want to watch that.

Bleah. Such nastiness for me to read as I have my morning coffee.

Still tired

And still dehydrated. So my braces are sticking to my jaws. It's quite lovely. However, I'm absolutely loving the Bombay Black CD, "Psycho Magnet". So far, my two favs are "The Ride" and "Inflicted". Yes, I know, completely opposite topics, but good nonetheless.

Bombay Black

Four of the hardest rocking guys you'll ever meet. Cool to just hang out with as well. CD release show seemed to go well. Afterparty was, well, interesting. It's been a long time since I crawled into bed at 6 am. Didn't drink all that much, so I'm not hungover today, so much as tired and definitely dehydrated.

Woo Hoo Birthday Month......

Parked in the "coveted" parking space today, spent a little time straightening my hair, wearing a killer outfit. Yep, I'd say that Birthday Month is starting out just as it should......
