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 ...

Puzzle

Sometimes we don't know what we want. Heck, most of the time we barely know what it is we need. So, isn't it amazing then that when we find it, stumble across it or when it finds us, it is basically immediately clear that it is in fact what was needed, what was wanted? Like, say you're putting together a puzzle. Perhaps it's one with oh let's say a thousand pieces (whew that's ALOT)                                                                                                                                                    http://clipart-library.com/jigsaw-puzzle.html You start with the edges putting them together and b...

Cast Off

Letting go isn't always an easy thing.  It is most times, well, a necessary thing...of course necessary has nothing to do with easy.  How many of you are currently in a relationship? No, not with chocolate or alcohol but an actual relationship with another person? They text you or call you every day several times a day...you're making plans to see them before you even finish with one date...you miss them when your time together for that date is drawing to an end...you see them walking towards you and you can't help but smile, waiting for that hug, that kiss...you have so much fun with them you can't imagine them not being around... Fun stuff right? (Ok well most of the time it is - if not, get out but that's a post for another time)  Ok so for all the currently boo'd up readers, is this your first relationship? Hmm, I'm guessing probably not - at least for most anyway. So at some point you were head over heels for someone else. Each day you woke up excit...
