The Weekday Vegetarian

June 11, 2018June 10, 2018

On weekdays, he never eats anything with a face.

Have you seen this under-four-minute TED talk?  It could change your life.


And while we’re talking food . . . of total inconsequence, but because some of expressed an interest in my expired-food hobby (Hiccups and Hangovers, Parts I and II) . . . I suppose I should raise the issue of “pairing.”  You know?  As our Santorini wine-tasting tour guide tried to teach us?

In this case, however, it was not wine and fish, it was Hellman’s Lite Mayonnaise and fish cubes.

Sunday, I grabbed a half-pound of frozen fish cubes “best used by 11/4/16” . . . microwaved for a minute and then simmered in a frying until golden brown . . . and then paired them with until-recently-unrefrigerated mayonnaise “best used by January 31, 2017.”  Not even three months apart.  Really good.


Watch the afore-linked TED talk!

Quote of the Day

"Athletes make good sales people. There were once so many ex-jocks at one particular brokerage office that when somebody yelled, 'Check the tape!' (meaning the ticker), they all looked down at their ankles. Or so the story goes."
