list junk food dressed up for yuppies who are too smart for junk food

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)

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.

actually, i used smoked raw bacon from a polish butcher. definitely better than supermarket bacon, and probably cheaper!

but bacon is tasty in almost all guises.

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.

turkey bacon is definitely not bacon, tho. it is greasy, unpalatable reconstituted bird parts, shabbily disguised as the king of foods.

haha, everyone, Laurel has a mouth defect that makes her taste cilantro rong!

(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)

BTW honorary Jews (also people who convert) always know more about Judaism than born Jews, probably for the reason that Laurel said.

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.

i could never ever date a cilantro hater.

sorry Laurel, at what could have been. RIP never forget etc.

Yea, What's the deal with converted Jews making a big deal about being Jewish?

re cilantro: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylthiocarbamide

yeah i'm with steve. i love cilantro in practically everything.

laurel how do you eat indian food????????????????

Does anyone know where to get cheese in Williamsburg?

i could never ever date a cilantro hater.

i used to live with a cilantro hater. no big deal, you adjust, make concessions etc.

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.

shut up kevin. standards are important.

oh river wolf!

i mean, i'm already basically assaulted by available women all day, i might as well draw the line somewhere

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.

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 just ate fish curry and i put a lot of cilantro in it p.s.

Well gosh, you must eat a lot of white bread and listen to a lot of David Sanborn then.

And what's the deal with people from the midwest being bland?

RONG

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 :(

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.

whatever, i had frito pie served to me in HIGH SCHOOL, and you ate it out of the fucking bag

shit is certifiably delicious, btw

one of the best things about gpoint is picking my own bacon...from a variety of levels.

dudes did i tell you i made yogurt this week?

b/c a friend gave me her yogurt maker
it is good yogurt

i am so tired right now. i probably need some spirulina
but my chapter is pretty much done (am rearranged things but am soon going to get to ah fuckit point) - 31 pages!

i even went and saw a rock show (simply saucer) from 11:30 to, like, 2 am. which in retrospect was kind of a nuts thing to do.

i just feel sorry for people who don't like cilantro (as i once did)

Oh bring it on.

i'll bet there's a News From Lake Wobegon about proper Lutherans who deny themselves the exotic pleasures of pico de gallo

except for the couple who secretly make tacos at midnight in their candlelit basement once each winter

Don't be silly, everyone eats tacos. They're Old El Paso seasoning on ground beef piled into a hard corn shell and topped with jack cheese, tomatoes, and iceberg lettuce. Duh.

Ah, the food of my youth.
