Rice -- crispy and otherwise
May. 21st, 2008 09:43 amAt the store yesterday I saw crispy rice mint M&M's in honor of Indiana Jones. Not really interested in seeing the 4th movie, but I am curious about why crispy mint is a flavor for him. Or maybe it is just a good marketing tool, and there's no other association.
Beet risotto. The beet juice makes for a very fuchsia dish. How many naturally occuring fuschia food items are there? Pomegranates. Raspberries. The risotto was rather bland despite the lovely color -- the tangy flavor I associate with beets is a function of the pickling, I think, rather than the natural beet taste.
I had to restrain myself last night from calling T to gloat. Well, not so much once I remembered it was Card Night, so he wasn’t home watching The Most Overrated Shortstop Ever make an error that resulted in six (SIX!) unearned runs in the first inning. I almost felt sorry for Mike Mussina, going only 2/3 of an inning. Almost.
And why did Jim Palmer have to mention the 2-hit shutout? Cabrera gave up a hit and then a 2 run homerun immediately.
