what I ate last: bacon and eggs for breakfast Exciting food news this week - I have a teapot! I had been completely unable to find a teapot here so my kind friend brought me one from England....I'm in tea-drinking heaven. Also, my little black book has arrived. I'm excited. I even took a picture of it with my friend's camera (mine is temporarily non-functional) but my new wireless connection has some weird firewall issues going on which has stopped me uploading it, so you'll just have to wait... 0 comments permalink  
Tuesday, March 22, 2005 what I ate last: fajitas and dos equis I was sitting on Fajita Monday at the local Mexican pondering the lack of subject material for my food blog. It's not that I haven't been eating, it's not that I've been eating particularly badly, it's perhaps that I've been in one of those phases where I dont' eat anything that is either so spectacularly awful or so blazingly fantastic that I feel the need to rush home and write about it. I've been making more lunches for myself, to eat in the sunny back yard with my rooster and duckling pecking around, but they've been mostly along the lines of a simple spaghetti, leftovers, noodles and miso soup, or something-on-toast. I've eaten out, but nowhere that I haven't already mentioned several times. I did have very good barbecue twice recently - at Thomaston as the reward for lifting about a hundred poop logs [RS nickname for large railway sleeper-type objects made out of compressed household waste) into place, and at Butch's Doonanny where his father barbecued about ten Boston Butts for eight hours and made his own special sauce. I've marvelled at a few strange things in the world of American food and even eaten deep-fried frogs legs (they weren't very good) along with catfish at one riverside fish place, and I ate at the one Japanese restaurant within a fifty mile radius, which was also not very good but made a welcome change from the catfish. So my eating patterns have become homely and uneventful. But next week I get to go to Atlanta to pick up a friend from the airport. And that means a visit to the scary-but-alluring DeKalb Farmers Market. Hell yeah... 0 comments permalink
Monday, March 14, 2005 what I ate last: breakfast miso What a lovely surprise to get a package all the way from Guam with not only the promised CD from Santos but also a package of breakfast miso soup sachets, real ones with no English writing on them. Yummy, and just what I needed to assuage the hangover, no effort required. They have little pieces of dried tofu, seaweed and little dried spring onion rings in them, in case you were wondering. Thanks Santos! 0 comments permalink
