Did you know you can buy Clamato juice with built-in horseradish? Cuz you can.
We made the best caesars the other day for breakfast, and they ruled. I added extra horseradish into mine to thicken it up a bit - make it more of a meal…
10/10 points for Clamato juice with built-in horseradish! Great idea! Huge props!
Today I had a real bad hangover and then Johnny called so I asked him to bring me a “cute juice”. Normally people would be like, “what the fuck are you talking about by a “cute juice”?” but Johnny was like, “ok, bud!” and showed up about 20 minutes later with this thing.
Now, it’s technically not a “JUICE” because it’s actually a “SODA”, but the cute factor of it totally makes up for that!
Taste, however - not so good. Berry Lemonade Soda = Sugar flavoured sugar water. It took me 6 hours to drink it.
Cute cute cute, and a little message underneath the lid: “You just helped save a child’s eyesight! Thank You!”
Cracklins. Deep fried pork skin. I swear to god.
First of all, I got these in the mail from an Internet Stranger. They came from New Orleans.
I wasn’t sure if these things could “go bad” or whatever, because like, meat? you know? i don’t know, but i tried one anyways.
*OH YEAH BUT WAIT! when these came to my mailbox, they stunk it up THROUGH THE ENVELOPE! I’m not joking! And then when I brought them into my apartment, they stunk up my living room! THROUGH THE ENVELOPE! Oh, and they were just in a normal like, sandwich bag…?
So I opened them up and ate one. I had one bite, and then my mouth rejected it and it just dropped out of my mouth. Not good.
These deep fried pork skins were not good.
I should have known better.
(but hey! I’m glad I got them! what a nice surprise!)
The other day Jablonski and I went out for breakfast to the new breakfast place, Reds.
Ruled.
See that little grapefruit up there? Minted sugar on it. Awesome.
And then I got a tomato, some sourdough toast, and an egg. The egg tasted like meat, which was weird, but I still ate it.
I like that place. The coffee was pretty good, and they have stevia instead of sugar. Well, i shouldn’t say INSTEAD of sugar, because they also have sugar, so I guess I should say “The coffee was pretty good, and they offer stevia as well as sugar!”
Our waitress was pretty rad. I didn’t take any pictures of her, though I should have. She kept touching Eric which I thought was really funny. It was too early in the morning to touch a stranger!
Check this thing out.
It’s a Pannekoeken. That’s a dutch pancake. We went to that place called The Pfanntastic Pannenkoek Haus.
You can get these pannekoekens in so many different flavours. I got “sweet”, Johnny got “savoury”, and Rich got “sweet & savoury” which was by pfar the winner - apple & bacon! WTPF.
On mine, there were Saskatoon Berries, which are pretty much my pfavourite thing in the world.
I would have enjoyed this meal waaaay more, but a pfew nights before I had made out with a dude that had a girlfriend, and I totally got busted. WORST HUMAN EVER. so even though I was sitting at this great meal, with 2 of my pfavourite pfriends, eating a huge thing covered in my pfavourite berry, I was just super bummed and hating life and mentally punishing myself. Plus, Johnny just kept looking at me and laughing, making things double-embarrassing.
Sigh. Pfuck My Lipfe.
This is Korean Hot Pot.
You know what? I wasn’t all that into it.
It tasted good, but fuck. I’m just not into that whole “cook it yourself” bullshit, you know?
Jenny ordered Soju, and the funny waitress didn’t want to sell it to her, saying, “No no - only old korean men drink Soju!” and Jenny was all, “No - really. I like it! I want it!” and the lady just stood there saying “no, no!” and finally she gave in and brought it to us. It was putrid, but Jenny really does love it.
(i feel like I’m sort of ripping you off with this entry, because we ate this meal in like, September…but whatever.)
well.
December was here last month, and the picture above is basically all I ate. Chocolate. And other random shitty junk food. Lots of chips and salsa. Tons of booze. Random handfuls of baked goods. I had pizza a few times.
but! January and a whole new year has arrived, so guess what. Food blog time. Back on track.
stay tuned, rats.
The other day I went to the Farmers Market to pick up some empanadas.
It was a blizzard, I swear to God, so I was like, “I should just do all my grocery shopping here at this Farmers Market!” and so I did. The produce section is called “CHONGO’S” which I love.
So I got a whole bunch of awesome shit, and then the cute lady, after telling me it took her 4 hours to get to work when normally it takes her 15 minutes, was like, “HAVE YOU EVER TRIED RED KIWI?!” and she made me buy this red kiwi.
I do believe it was the best kiwi I have ever eaten.
The fur part is still brown like normal kiwi, but inside - RED KIWI! and you can taste that it’s red, I’m serious.
Well well well. Speaking of Grey Cup Sunday.
This is a bratwurst, some sourkraut, and some macaroni salad.
It was fucking delicious.
I got so drunk that night that I rightfully should have puked, but I think it was this bratwurst that saved me that night.
Or something like that.
Well. Sometimes I say stuff that I don’t actually mean, and then I think “why the fuck did I just say that?!”
the last time this happened was a few weeks ago, when I heard myself saying outloud “OH, I LOOOOOVE PICKLED EGGS.”
i mean, i don’t MIND pickled eggs, but I certainly don’t love them.
This one, at about 3pm on Grey Cup Sunday, was not good.
