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.)
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That sounds made-up but good. I mean, unless it's just chole, but it seems like it's not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Luckily, after this discussion, KBD cooked up some yummy chicken fajita thingies. ::burp::
Now, NCIS and then Castle.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

According to Serious Eats, a double is an actual Trinidadian street food:
They are seriously nom nom nom.

ION, I have coughed myself into a splitting headache. I hate colds.

Haven't eaten much Caribbean food that's not Jamaican--we admit to haven stolen roti, pretty much, but the rest is all our own, honest. The idea of tamarind is interesting. We don't cook with it that much, although I could eat it all day in tamarind balls. Perhaps it's best had with sugar and not with chickpeas (ick).
Perkins--watching Criminal Minds tonight? Looks like eye squick. I'm going to have to not watch those precise bits.
