01/21/2005 Archived Entry: "Food Adventures"
Dates: My mom bought some over the x-mas break, I tried one and then had like 10. These things are amazing! Sweet, juicy and very textured. Soon to rival my love of avocadoes. A bit expensive though, 8$/pound, but worth it if you don’t accidentally bite into the seed. Ouch.
Hime Brand Ice Cream: First I bought a tub of Red Bean flavoured stuff. While it was delicious, the ice cream was…frosty. So it was a little bit sketchy but still good. I got some Ginger Ice Cream yesterday and as strange as it may sound I think it’s probably the best ice cream flavour I’ve ever had. It has sweet, sweet chunks of ginger in it!
All You Can Eat Sushi: Better than all you can eat Korean bbq and even…all you can eat hot pot! Though it’s not really all you can eat sushi, you can order anything from the menu of Japanese foods including various beef and chicken dishes. A bit expensive (20$) compared to hot pot but they do have to prepare the food so it’s understandable. I had not been satisfied by a meal like that in a long time.
Soft Shell Crab: My mind was going crazy over this…you eat the crab AND the shell. Total insanity. After looking it up online, I understand why the shell is soft but good grief was I ever confused at first. I really enjoyed it though; it was juicy, soft, crunchy, and…tasty.
Next Wednesday is 2-for-1 oyster night…that’s going to be FUN.

Dates are good, definitely.. but what's weird is that despite being juicy, they leave my mouth dry. Strange feeling..

dates remind me of amelia bedelia ... she once made a date cake ... but instead of the fruit, she cut up a calendar and put those dates in it.
oh amelia, will you ever stop your crazy shinannigans?

Never had soft shell crab, sushi, dates, or ginger ice cream.

Maybe it's the sugar that makes you thirsty? I can't really say I know what you're talking about though =P
Soy milk makes me thirsty.
A date cake? I wanna try...
dAN, you don't know what you're missing out on.

Thanks melpie!

I don't know what that is =(

you don't know amelia bedelia?
*gasp*
the horror!
amelia bedelia is a character in a children's book ... she's a maid but she has problems understanding instructions .. for example, they asked her to dust the living room ... and she couldn't understand why they wanted her to pour buckets of dust all over)

Hehe, at least she doesn't put the third kind of dates into her cakes. That'd be a whole different kind of story!

You should try "the works" at New York fries, or you can even make it yourself. Fries, Chili, sour cream, bacon bits, green onions, and tomatoes. SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD! I only mention it cause its something new that I've had, and I love it. But...umm...I suppose dates are good too *shrugs shoulders*

Heh, I used to make that in my freer days. Taco Bell has it also, they call it Fries Supreme or something.

You'll get junk in your trunc
Posted by Rayne @ 01/25/2005 01:55 AM EST
now do you mean trunk as in my torso, i.e. the trunk of my body ... or trunk as in my bottom?
or is this one of those comments that is left vague enough so it applies to both those who gain weight primarily in their tummies and those who gain weight primarily in their bottoms?
Posted by melpie @ 01/25/2005 10:28 AM EST
Or, the third option: that you'll have to use the bathroom.
Posted by Rayne @ 01/25/2005 04:18 PM EST
ewww ... that was so not worth me having to make a comment for.
