Friday, July 18, 2003 dough
I wanted sandwiches for dinner tonight, so i started some bread, but the mate is threatening to eat all the raw dough. It's an eggless recipe, so I guess it can't hurt him. Also, he eats raw hamburger meat when he's making meatballs, because it looks too delicious to wait for. The dough, she is negligible, as far as threats to my mate's life go. I'd say the top several are the raw meat, my shotgun-totin' pappy, and some form of tetantus. Luckily, he is very resilient. Me, not so much.
The other day I had this great idea. This great money saving idea. Shoplifting! Ha ha. No, not really. I learned that lesson well. No, my great idea was to pick some leaves from the alley and eat them for dinner. I'd been meaning to do something like this for years, ever since I got a lavishly photo-illustrated field guide to edible wild plants. In the past, I'd always been too timid to go after the less-delicious seeming varieties of feral greens.
Therefore, teh book was intriguing but essentially useless, because unless you're willing to walk around abandoned railroad tracks and constructions sites and shit looking for obscure leaf-shapes, there's not much it can tell you if you already know what, say, blackberries look like. (Sidenote: the mate has never had a blackberry. Also, he has never been stung by a bee. He is from frickin' Neptune.)
But I ate some poke greens. To save money. And I woke up sick.
I'm never doing that again. posted by Frenz | 7/18/2003 07:07:00 PM
