Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think it's like sushi - if you don't develop a taste by the time you graduate from college, it's too late for you (by which I mean me).
Really? Because it's mostly just grilled meat and rice and beans. That seems so basic to me. Surely salsa (pico de gallo) and guacamole aren't exotic anymore.
It's not a whole new palate experience of raw cod roe and wasabi.
The Fake AP Stylebook is my new favorite thing.

It's pretty awesome. Besides I knew the "Oxford comma" was a prank. I'm surprised so many of you fell for it. Noobs.
I don't find Mexican exotic - just not very interesting. Maybe I haven't had the right Mexican. (I LOVE guacamole. I'd probably eat sashimi if it was smothered in guac. But that's just avocado-love.)
GOAT TACO!!! I've never had that. I want it.
I now suddenly want roti too--like we name it in Jamaica. I think roti in Trinidad is just the bread. In Jamaica we mean the meat it wraps too. Meat wrapped in breadlike products is the nom.
I adore Mexican food. One day I'd like to eat it in Mexico. I live shamefully close now. It's a matter of time and coordination.
The Trinidadian restaurant downstairs from me does roti. I could have goat roti and a double-double for dinner. (I don't know if the double-double is an actual thing or something this woman made up - it's like a littl roti sandwich with chickpeas and tamarind in the middle. I ate so many of those when I was home with Dylan on maternity leave.)
That sounds made-up but good. I mean, unless it's just chole, but it seems like it's not.
I just have to share that I am currently sitting on a folding chair, with both a cat and a laptop on my lap. This cannot last. God willing, I'm getting a sofa this weekend. Do non-Ikea furniture stores let you walk out the door with a sofa right then?
Luckily, after this discussion, KBD cooked up some yummy chicken fajita thingies. ::burp::
Now, NCIS and then Castle.

That sounds pretty much like a recipe called Doubles in Madhur Jafrey's World Vegetarian cookbook. The cookbook said it was street food from somewhere, but I can't remember where.
