Iron Chef Would Kick My Butt
I steamed some mussels on Saturday, because my supervisor at work told me it would be easy. It was easy, as manual labor goes. What I didn’t count on was how ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING it would be, and how scared I would be that one of those slimy little monsters would move. Shudder.
I had also forgotten how shocked I was the very first time I ever saw a cooked mussel out of its shell and was forced to face its overwhelming ICKINESS.
That said, they were quite tasty in the wine sauce. And they are a cheap, easily prepared source of protein. It is still hard to look at them directly.
It is not hard to look at cheeseburgers.
It is very easy to look at ice cream.
This is, no doubt, why many Americans are obese.
I had the most awesome cake in the world at Alison's boyfriend Terry's birthday party on Friday. It was a chocolate cake with fudge frosting and delicious fresh berries throughout the cake part. Best cake EVER.
Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts are trying to invent low-carb doughnuts. Coke is trying to invent low-carb Coke (because Diet Coke isn't low-carb enough, for some strange reason).
