(i get tofu for a buck, and buy a head of green leaf for another, and some spinachette for about 2...so splitting marinade A dressing over a few weeks/months/other meals, thats 4 a week for me. i usually get something else around 3...today its left over zuccini and a touch of a pork chop...but i eat about 5 small meals a day)

she had stewed lentils for lunch, that pretty much establishes that laurel hates flavor
― elmo argonaut, Thursday, 14 June 2007 19:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh man you do not know! These are curried lentils with bacon and fresh tomatoes and madras curry and chix stock and I stirred some sour cream in for variation. They are YUM.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 June 2007 19:33 (sixteen years ago) link
!!!
i stand corrected!
― elmo argonaut, Thursday, 14 June 2007 19:35 (sixteen years ago) link
i always put coconut milk and curry in my dahl so therefore delicious (i have never called this 'stewed lentils'! maybe it's different somehow)
― rrrobyn, Thursday, 14 June 2007 19:40 (sixteen years ago) link
though bacon, whoa next level
Lauren gave out the recipe! I actually simplified it cos I never have celery, and I think she used better meat (pancetta?). I think mine is a culinary bastard, what with pork AND curry AND sour cream. But I like it.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 June 2007 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link
actually, i used smoked raw bacon from a polish butcher. definitely better than supermarket bacon, and probably cheaper!
― lauren, Thursday, 14 June 2007 19:58 (sixteen years ago) link
but bacon is tasty in almost all guises.
― lauren, Thursday, 14 June 2007 19:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I buy Boar's Head so it's at least a reasonable bacon and not like made in a factory. Dice while frozen, brown in bottom of stewpot, add veg, add lentils. Simmer. EAT.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 June 2007 20:02 (sixteen years ago) link
turkey bacon is definitely not bacon, tho. it is greasy, unpalatable reconstituted bird parts, shabbily disguised as the king of foods.
― elmo argonaut, Thursday, 14 June 2007 20:03 (sixteen years ago) link
haha, everyone, Laurel has a mouth defect that makes her taste cilantro rong!
― river wolf, Thursday, 14 June 2007 21:53 (sixteen years ago) link
(note: not liking cilantro, btw, is sort of unique in the world of not-liking-foods. some people literally taste it WRONG, which is why it tastes all soapy to poor suckers like Laurel and totally fantastic to me. it's actually a taste you'll never acquire, L, cuz yr mouth is broek! you guys probably already knew this, but whatever)
― river wolf, Thursday, 14 June 2007 21:55 (sixteen years ago) link
BTW honorary Jews (also people who convert) always know more about Judaism than born Jews, probably for the reason that Laurel said.
― Hurting 2, Thursday, 14 June 2007 21:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Yes I know! And I'm actually not clear on whether I have the genetic trait or it's just gross to me...? I took those haikus from ihatecilantro.com so they are not necc autobiographical. :D I haven't gone back and tried to analyze it in a while because GROSS but as I recall it tastes very GREEN to me, and metallic. Kind of like how pot smells...? I dislike both.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 June 2007 21:58 (sixteen years ago) link
i could never ever date a cilantro hater.
― Steve Shasta, Thursday, 14 June 2007 22:02 (sixteen years ago) link
sorry Laurel, at what could have been. RIP never forget etc.
― Steve Shasta, Thursday, 14 June 2007 22:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Yea, What's the deal with converted Jews making a big deal about being Jewish?

Does anyone know where to get cheese in Williamsburg?

i used to live with a cilantro hater. no big deal, you adjust, make concessions etc.
― chicago kevin, Thursday, 14 June 2007 22:06 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't put cilantro in my curries for a reason, Ev! At restaurants I ask if it can be served without that garnish, or if the leaves are big enough I pick them out.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 June 2007 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link
shut up kevin. standards are important.

Also I always always hold the pico, but that's also b/c I dislike onions. I will dice up some tomatoes & mash an avocado on my own at home.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 June 2007 22:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Is okay, rw, we knew it was not meant to be also because I love cites and hate psych folk/rock/anything. ;______;

OK THIS IS GOING TOO FAR

TOO FAR OFF TOPIC MAYBE

it is so funny how laurel and i are alike in so many ways (and she is graetest) and then suddenly boom there are 5 things in a row we are not alike on!

i like veggie burgers. But I like just grilling a portabello more
portabello is great to grill! if you marinate in balsamic or something it gets all juicy - is like the steak of vegetarianism!
i lived with a cilantro hater which was mostly ok cause we generally cooked our own stuff anyway and when she did cook for me it was always delicious. the only times i got really really sad was when she would make this awesome salsa. would have been million times more awesomer with cilantro :(
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 June 2007 22:48 (sixteen years ago) link
jon, ew - my digestive system is cool with all this i eat a lot of vegetables
you know what's a good addition to salsa? chipotle

I have two foods that I think I must have a genetic aversion to - canned tuna fish and hard-boiled/deviled eggs.

my ex from 2002 added this to wikipedia:
==Trivia== * Fritos (original and barbeque flavor) contain no animal products, and are a staple for vegan snack-lovers. * Fritos also is a slang term for marijuana. * The oil on Fritos is very flammable, and can be used as kindling or a small torch. * Frito pie is a traditional dish made with Fritos, chili, cheese, and onions in the Southern and Southwestern United States, particularly Texas.
