So I think I may be finally recovering from the stomach flu that has laid Andrea & me low for the last week or so. I snuck a dab of peanut butter on my otherwise unadorned toast for lunch today. I’m still, to use Andrea’s favourite phrase, weak as a kitten.
To make up for the complete lack of variety in our diets — mmm, cream of wheat — Andrea & I have been watching a lot of Food Network, especially Iron Chef America, Restaurant Makeover and Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares.
The latter is especially entertaining because of his gentle persuasion of the “people who think that, even though they asked him to come save them from financial ruin, that they shouldn’t have to actually, you know, change their behaviors that got them there.”, as Tobias Buckell observes.
I had miso soup and a bowl of rice for lunch. Miso has never tasted SO flavourful.
