Food Post, Coast to Coast
I got two gift certificates with my paycheque today, totalling $50. Being the irresponsible card that I am, I blew it all on vegetables right away. The fresh snow peas, bamboo shoots, onion sprouts, green peppers etc.. that I'd been brooding over jealously for months were suddenly within my grasp, and costs be damned, I shamelessly grabbed at everything in sight, long suppressed need overriding all sense of propriety. Over the past few weeks I could feel my body devouring itself for some speck of nutrition, and I am not a nutritious person.
I Invited Neil over and we collaborated on the king of stirfry, a farmer's market in a wok garnished with two panloads of shredded veal, three specially bought sauces, a package of teriyaki powder, and several liberal splashes of Dr. Pepper (at my insistence). Though I don't recall ever trying to eat riotous overspending, there is no doubt in my mind that it has never tasted so good as it did today. My roommate (who is a chef) wolfed his bowl and decided to change the menu at his work a bit in tribute to the stirfry king. This reach for culinary divinity reminded me of a post by the Sun Emperor of food metaphors and co-inventor of Carrot Cake Soup himself, he who need not be named because you clicked on the link and know already, right?
Sated and lethargic, I collapsed onto my couch and watched the 1st and 2nd season Space Ghost DVD I bought sunday to judge what lucky person I know should get it for Xmas. I am Mr. Lucky! This show is far too good for other people.
