Food 4 Thought


How many of you eat food? Yeah really? Me too? Now how many of you are sick of it? Oh it’s just me? Fine - I mean I'm not saying I want to quit eating (there's a very serious condition and that is NOT what I'm talking about) What I'm saying is that I'm basically BORED with food? Think about it...what do you eat? Hmm let's see I'm going to guess, chicken, beef, pork...yeah they are good, GREAT even (especially BACON!!! OMG) but how many times do you eat the same thing say every 3 days?

Not me...I'm a VEGETARIAN!...I don't eat MEAT" Ok cool but still you ONLY eat vegetables! If you're normal (hmm, ok average? Is average better than normal? I think so)...so if you're AVERAGE you probably don't like every vegetable available to you. So you end up eating the same handful of veggies You probably use your CREATIVITY in the preparation of your VEGETARIAN DELIGHTS but it's still THE SAME FOOD!!

Vegan, you say? Well you DEFINITELY have to be creative in what you eat on a daily. Still mostly vegetables but the prep is much stricter. Oh and let's not forget MEAT SUBSTITUTES (TOFURKEY - tofu turkey - yeah IDK if that's a real thing... or burgers made from, well anything but meat...)

Now here's the thing - they haven't come up with any NEW food… And if they did, would you eat it? Would I? IDK - doubt it...I mean I'm as brave as the next person but I'm still trying to figure out the level of bravery and curiosity of the first person to eat an oyster

Social media showed people eating MICE on a stick. Meh, come on man that's just too damn far! Frog legs - not new but definitely not super mainstream and definitely a NO for me.
Maybe the solution is to thrown in a few other countries/culture’s foods. Same proteins, veggies, starch sources with say a Korean chef's skill?
Oh now, look I'm still going to eat. And yeah, probably the same few protein and veggies that I like (it's a REALLY small number) Hmm, maybe I will use my CREATIVITY - dice everything up, mix them all together, bake it and VOILA, casserole!

Bon appetit!

Look before you eat...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile) This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra: The heck is THAT??!?!?!! What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not ...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...

Deal Me In

A while back, I posted about being held hostage. See, that article was about...well I don't want to go into too much detail in case you haven't had a chance to read it yet (hint hint). Suffice it to say it was about being in a situation you'd rather not be in. Maybe you've been super fortunate not to have found yourself in a situation like that...until now. And who is your hostage taker? Say hello to COVID-19...UGH!  This virus has spread so rapidly and doesn't discriminate - everyone is a potential victim or carrier/transmitter. The best way to slow down what has become a pandemic is to limit exposure. To what? Well basically PEOPLE! Schools are closed, most businesses are closed - unless they are essential (hospitals, supermarkets, pharmacies...) restaurants are open but only for takeout or delivery. No movie theater, no malls, no parties. WE are basically on restriction! House arrest without the ankle monitors... If you're married/partnered - ok so maybe ...
