But good Mexican food is almost as hard to find as a bandersnatch.


Oh, and I definitely vouch for rootsfan. <fond smile>

I s'pose bandersnatch coulda been worked into that obvious "pussy" crack...

I haven't had one of those in years. Are they as good as I remember them being?

I'm sure they are. Of course, when I grew up, in my small town they actually were Slushies.

Haven't seen that name for years. Others: Slush Puppy, Mr. Misty (Dairy Queen)

Icee's and Slurpees are different, they're okay, but not as good as the slushie.
 
Good like that

Indeed. And the universe will reimburse you for your non-pussy joke.
I've arranged for it to pay you in Indian food for the next month.

I don't remember why we're vouching.
In fact, I don't remember much. My corrosive love of Joan Rivers and M&Ms has made me forget many things. Shame.
 
Deep dish pizza; thin, crunchy crust pizza; chicken parm pizza.
 
Spicy chinese and hot mexican, although finding decent mexican here is like the stone rolling away in easter morning. About all they have is Taco Hell, Chevys and something that some italians call mexican :rolleyes:
 
Ugh.

Could you hear my exasperated sigh when I read that? (You know what I mean.)
 
Death row food



New Hope Mills Old Fashioned Buckwheat Pancakes
(it's milled by a Mennonite family in upstate New York using an honest-to-god water-powered grist mill- you can find it on ye olde Internet),
Smithfield Ham (the REAL thing, not some skanky "country ham"),
Yorkshire pudding,
grilled yellowfin tuna steak (seared over mesquite),
wild rice,
popovers,
my mom's (requiescat in pace, {sigh} I guess I've had my last batch) french toast (made with an iron skillet using bacon fat),
grilled cheese sandwiches,
English muffins, and
popcorn (and lots of it, preferably Jolly Time or Orville Redenbacher white kernels prepared using either a hot air popper or an open mesh basket, then smothered with melted Land O'Lakes lightly salted butter and seasoned with copious amounts of celery salt).

I love those few half-popped kernels you get with every batch. Like the popcorn was trying to break free and didn't quite make it. Someone needs to figure out a way to market just those.
 
I have had a few months in the South of France and I miss the basic French food.
Miss the fresh locally produced peaches, lettuces, strawberries, cheese, red wine,
chestnut cake, fresh, beautiful salad nicose for lunch with white wine, local fish and melon, which I was given to tried at the local market and fresh warm pain au chocolate. I found it so easy to eat right and I find it so much harder now I am home, because the veggies don't taste as good and the prices are much higher.

I also love good basic Italian food, Moroccan, Indian and classic English food too.
 
Any good, dark chocolate, & whole lobster, nothing fancy, no stuffings or sauces, just steamed with maybe a little melted butter on the side, & for dessert, some good, rich, heavy New York style chees e cake.

Uh oh. I think I gained 5 lbs just typing that. :)
 
Fresh (not fast-food) pizza from a real pizzeria
Spinach salad with cranberries, feta cheese, almonds, and raspberry vinaigrette dressing
Broasted chicken (really crisp skin)
Green tea
Beefsteak tomatoes
Avocadoes
Swedish meatballs
Really good coffee (not so easy to find!)
Belgian waffles (fresh, not frozen!)

Klondike triple chocolate bars! :)

Lately I've been really into this local Turkish place. Great Adana kebab, which is apparently chopped or ground lamb mixed with spicy red pepper and served with a flatbread. And really wonderful grilled calamari.

can't get enough

Roasted Cauliflower with Dill & Lemon


1 large head cauliflower cut into florets
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard ( or more to taste )
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 lemons, juice of
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon extra light olive oil
1-2 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
ground black pepper


Preheat oven to 400°F. Place cauliflower florets in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine all other ingredients to make a sauce, whisking until blended.

Pour marinade over the cauliflower and toss until coated. Spread on baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the cauliflower.

Bake for 30-45 minutes or until tender, but not mushy. Toss once, if desired, halfway through cooking. The cauliflower should have some browning around the edges.

*my tastes prefer chrunchy vegetables, so about 20 minutes bake time
