Oh crap. Ethiopian food is... no. Ethiopian food is just no.

Raw cow meat with a side of cottage cheese. Ugh.

A few miles south of West Hollywood, there's a little Ethiopian neighborhood and every once in a while, you'll have a friend who gets saucy about liking exotic food and decides to give it a try and... then we take bets on how many days they'll be sick after that.

Thai, however, I love Thai except I gotsta always pick out the cucumber as cucumber is nasty.

My brother's started dating a lady of Thai extraction (though Californian born and raised, leaving our Eastern-European-extracted Northeastern-born-and-raised asses as the actual immigrants) and so there's a lot more of it around lately.

Love the peanut sauce.

See, I can eat the peanut sauce, but prefer the Indonesian version better.  A favorite memory of mine was being in a palace, at a dinner hosted by Indonesia's leader at the time... and all this food was served that was impossible to identify as it looked nothing like anything I'd ever eaten, except in the middle of the table was a huge pile of chicken in Indonesian peanut sauce.  We all stared politely at the strange smelling guck in front of us and then tried to conceal the fact the only thing we were interested in was the chicken.  Then another lady I was with who was from Minneapolis groaned "Ohhh!  Couldn't you eat this sauce smeared on cardboard!?"

I have discovered snack perfection.

Brew a pot of Earl Grey tea.

Get two slices of whole wheat bread and some sharp cheddar and marmite. Put them together in an unholy combination. Butter the outsides of the bread. Grill.

This grilled cheese with marmite is making me weep tears of exhausted joy as I survey the boxed contents of my apartment in preparation for moving to Denver.

that is all.

Bergamot don't do it for me.

Bergamot don't do it for me.

The tea that I am going to buy in massive, bunker-lining qualities when I return to Civilization is Taylors of Harrodgate "Imperial Tea Room" tea. It's amazing. I recommend it highly.

Marmite and sharp cheddar?  That is just way too salty.

Marmite and sharp cheddar?  That is just way too salty. way too fuck*ng delicious.

Fixed that for you.

My new favorite snack is Sunflower seeds.  Is it considered preparing if you have to get a spit cup?

[jaydub]

Don't forget opening the bag.

And there's my problem with sunflower seeds and those who eat them when not alone!

[theinevitable]

wow. that's goddamn... unamerican!

(yes, I realize that Slink is not American. I guess that is the joke.)

(do you capitalize Unamerican? American looks wrong when it is uncapitalized.)

[theinevitable]

man, I can imagine. All kinds of steeples and broken glass falling out of your mouth, bloody body parts... how could you? HOW COULD YOU?

It wasn't until they put that statue in the harbor that Asherdan's reign of terror came to an end - for even he could not bring himself to destroy the little mermaid.

Apparently dip/chew, etc. is illegal in all EU countries except Norway and Sweden, or, you know, some northern ones.

In college a friend of mine spent a year in Sweden, and he brought back a bunch of snus. I did not like it. I remember a drinking party where he passed out pouches of snus to all his friends, and they left theirs in for a really long time in an effort to be "hardcore" and the night ended with all of them projectile vomiting in the bathroom while I made a hasty retreat. Disgusting.
