[Gopher]

Whoop Russ... Blessings be to you and yours you tall man,. i can not vouch for any one else but I am glad you dropped in to say hi to us. Congratulation on the wedding, I think I gave them before, but more are always good.. Great news on  the girl child to be.. May you be blessed with angels all around..

You have no idea how seloso (jealous) I am, over the meals you eat... Tisk, Enjoy your working vaction, go easy on the beer, eah. I don't know why, but you seem to get into some interesting exploits when you drink and then you return with some adventurous stories of your intoxicated evening.. One day it may not be a pleasant one & you now got the wife and the little one on the way to worry about. So Be Careful.. Sheesh now I sound like my flaming father...

Have Fun Russ And keep us all filled in on life on the other side of the planet..And your strange or amazing exploits.  

Lunch today was a rather simple Knorr Chicken noodle soup, Asian style with fresh green onions Chinese broccoli instead of bokchoi ( I don't like bokchoi much) & a couple of drops of toasted sesame oil.  for such a simple meal it was pretty good, but needed more meat.  

I will do this again but add some diced chicken and perhaps some fresh cilantro...

what a beautiful day..

I had the 'Vancouver usual' for dinner today! ))

eggplant curry w/jasmine rice and an Indian stew as a side with a beer.

brain food.

beats frozen pizzas.


 

[Russ]

Thanks Orik.. Well the dinner wasnt as good today but still great. I keep missing breakfast, but tomorrow I have plans to make it. I normally eat breakfast and no lunch. We had snapper, chicken, and some sort of pork stir fry.

Well, onto the beer. ice cold can of san miguel.

You dont like Bokchoi? (sp?) Really? I actually tend to like it cooked with garlic and butter, and then dosed in magi sauce. Cooked till its just a little bit of crunchiness left.

[DDD]

Well, onto the beer. ice cold can of san miguel.


  That sounds like a good lunch to me

[Orik]

 I checked the spelling on BokChoi it seems the correct spelling is Bok Choy. yes Russ it is not amongst my favourite vegetables. I will eat it over Brussels sprouts just to point out  how much I hate Brussels Sprouts.  and I will eat Brussels Sprouts before I will eat turnips... Don't get me wrong I wont waste food, no matter how much I dislike a food. I have gone hungry to many times in the past to do that.

I will try almost all foods at least once, it just depends on what is on the menu, there are some things I may not eat...

Snails, I won't eat them again. It seems I am allergic. One kind I can eat fine, the other kind nearly killed me my lips and throat swelled up and I got all Flemmy & talk about ugly... Since I have no idea what kind of snails they where, whether the fresh or salt variety I find it is safer if I just avoid them..

Caterpillars very similar reaction to snails. Potentially lethal. So I will no longer eat them either.

When it comes to survival you eat what you have to, to survive..

Earth worms are not bad just make sure you soak them in water to clean out the earth, then fry them up even better if you can add a couple of eggs now you got a nice breakfast..  Earth worms are like a crispy bacon..

Rotisserie cooked rabbit done on a apple wood camp fire this is still by far, the best damned meal I ever did eat..

I  have had snake fried with black pepper, rock salt and some Asian  spices had it with some guys at Hon's talk about delicious... And No  that is not a regular menu item, it was just one of the fringe benefits  for working for the Chinese... Some awesome authentic meals.
 
 I have had eel but found it very disgusting greasy too, I am not sure how people can eat that very often.

Food's I still have to try

Rattle Snake
Grasshoppers
Locus
Thai spiced Tarantula deep fried till crispy supposed to be excellent
Balut
Possum
Alligator
Horse
100 year old egg =( problem is the potassium in them is to high, so I may not be able to try them
Prairie Oysters AKA Calf Testicles
Monkey but since the species are now so endangered this will never occur.

and so many other exotic and strange dishes..

What is the weirdest food you have eaten
Or what is the weirdest food you wish to try ?

I don't really have a list of foods I'd like to try. I deal with that stuff as it comes. If I'm very hungry I order something I know I'll eat. If I order something new and don't like it, I wont eat it. The food goes to waste and I just order something else which only increases the bill. If the person I'm with has something I'd like to try I'll ask for a sample taste. Hopefully, they wont mind parting with one bite. If I like it then I know I can order it next time we go back.

  Lunch- one pork chop, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes with brown gravy and a cup of mixed fruit.

Bok choi is so good along with sui choi and yu choi.  Yu choi is my favorite.  I love it especially with rice and bbq duck.  And I also love the chinese brocolli with the oyster sauce.  Oh, I'm salivating already.  My lunch is bland now.  

  I'm having a turkey meat sandwich with alfafa sprouts and an apple.

[Orik]

tuna on whole wheat bun. rather dry and kind of stale.. not a very good lunch today.  

[DDD]
