What Did You Have For Dinner Tonight?

This is interesting, tomatoes suck because they are grown in FL which is a lousy place to grow tomatoes due to there being no nitrogen in the soil and lots of pests. I've often wondered why we can grow such amazing fruit in our backyards while the grocery store's tomatoes are crap.

They do grow things here and there are farmers markets along places but from what I know it's true most of the tomato growing starts in the wintertime around here. It's true the soil is sandy all over, even inland. A hard rain it just seeps into the ground afterwards. I'm sure they grow lots of things down here and I haven't seen a cornfield since I left Ohio but I'm sure they're here somewhere inland as you go.

I had to dig this up because what I'm eating right now is scrumptious! My mum made it and I thought it'd be gross but it's not! So tonight's dinner is chili with a twist. It's Kidney beans, sweetcorn, red pepper, green olives, mushrooms, carrot and tomato.

My favorite thread, resurrected!!! So I'm on vacation, and I try to find new restaurants, all the time. I usually go to Urbanspoon.com. Anyway, here's what I've had the past few days.
Wednesday - Southern cooking. Fried chicken livers and gizzards, with onion rings and a salad. Delicious!
Thursday - I went to a new mexican restaurant, and had a fish taco, and chilli relleno. It was great, and better than the mexican restaurant that I usually go to.
Friday - Authentic Cajun restaurant. An absolute HOLE IN THE WALL DIVE. The rent on the dump couldn't be more than $300/month. But the reviews stated that....I had cajun catfish, with dirty rice and slaw. Everything was awesome, even if a little overpriced(especially given the seedy location).
Saturday - I went back to my "southern cooking" restaurant, because everyone just RAVES about, "oh, you HAVE to try their burgers, they're the best anywhere". Well, I got the one they recommended as the best, and I was totally let down. It was nothing that I couldn't have made at home. Yeah, it was a big burger on a French roll, but like I said, I could have made the SAME, at home. I was expecting to have my socks blown off, so I was let down. Needless to say, I'll be sticking to my livers and gizzards, next time I'm in town.
Tonight? Thai is my target for today! After a bland, no heat, burger yesterday, I need some HEAT. Set me on fire! I'm ordering 5, on a scale of 5!

Organic chicken with vegetables and brown rice in a tomato sauce. It was delicious.

Om nom nom! *High fives*

I wasn't really hungry, so I didn't have much of my Tea. So sleepy after my first day back at Uni. We're already getting into final project of the course territory and we've only just got back. It's a good thing that I have ideas or I'd be screwed, lol. It'll probably be one of the last proper meals I have before "late night Cereal Tea" starts again as it usually does when my schedule turns insane lol.

Rat.....on a stick. No, I don't appear to have read that wrong. Is that a typo? Or is it an actual dish? It sounds....erm....interesting.

I think it's pork. We've just always called it rat on a stick.

Ahhhh. Well that sounds alot better! Well, as better as it could be to a Veggie, lol. You conjured up an image of a deep fried rat with a wooden stick up its arse and that did not sit well with my stomach. The thing is, I wouldn't put it past some places to actually eat things like that. Since I saw the images of somebody eating a baby, I don't think anything should truly surprise me.

I had a client tell me about something like this but when we Googled it, we found it to be urban legend.
