What are you eating?

[Darlica]

Lindorm is making mapo tofu...

It smells so good I'm already drooling!

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Petit beurre cookies covered with chocolate. 

[Aggie]

Nothing - no time for lunch today.

chocolate stars


recommended technique:
1. administer one star to self, pointish-side up, on tongue
2. press star against roof of mouth, not unlike hOLY cOMMUNION
3. allow chocolate to melt at mouth-temperature
4. repeat steps 1-3

[Darlica]

That sounds much better than what I'm having...



The leftovers of last night's Phad Thai take away.

[Pachyderm]

Sausage, bacon, egg roll, and chips with curry sauce.

Spectacularly unhealthy, but I just came back in from the worst weather this year, and need to thaw and dry out.

To quote some dude, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn..."

[Darlica]

That is what comfort food is all about isn't it? 

You are wet, cold, or in a lousy mood for some reason and you need some tasty calories get back to normal.

No dinner yet, L's about to prepare something but I'm not sure what.

[Opsa]

As I understand it, the curry spices alone negate any questionable ingredients.

I think that chocolate stars should be made the official communion wafer of the monastery. The wine, of course, should be rum, or root beer for the noncaholic. Think of your Siblings whenever you drink rum/root beer and/or eat chocolate. May those thoughts be happy ones.

All I gots is natural peanut butter on wheat toast today. No rum or chokkies! (But I'm still thnking about you, all the same.)

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

The wine could be wine, any decent one would do (instead of the sweet concoction they use nowadays).

It could be a good spaniard Garnacha, for instance.

[Aggie]

Ayuh, but if we're serving small portions the rum has more kick.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

If we are looking for kick it should be done with absynth.

[Aggie]

OK, make it 151 then.

But not flaming shots (been there, done that, still have eyebrows and esophagus, luckily) of that stuff.

H made us some kind of curry and a mango lassi. (He claims our mangoes 'suck' but I still thought his version was better than served at local place.)

I have no idea what kind of curry it was, as my tongue went numb immediately and I was blinded by Too Much Hot Spice tears.   He claims it was 'very mild'. They tell me it was delicious. 

[Aggie]

LOL, your mangoes probably do suck.  The ones here certainly do, except the times of the year I can get my hands on ripe Ataulfos (coming into season now!), and I'm sure they're still inferior to the ones back home.  Fresh from the tree is the best, alas.

Yer making me hungry for spicy spicy - I have a serious craving to do my 'green death' curry (Thai-ish style from fresh ingredients - LOTS of green chilies) but that will have to wait as I've been sitting on some nice red habaneros / Scotch bonnets (probably the former) for jerk.

[Pachyderm]

Pizza, while watching Scotland winning at the rugby. All I need is beer....
