ursamajor: Sokka is a carnivore (why are we at war again?)
[personal profile] ursamajor: So, the kimchidilla exists. :)
[personal profile] hyounpark: BRILLIANT
[personal profile] ursamajor: ... wait, what makes the kimchidilla brilliant and the li'l kimchi anathema?! or are you being sarcastic and i totally missed it
[personal profile] hyounpark: I said that before reading the description
[personal profile] ursamajor: ... WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD GO IN A KIMCHIDILLA
[personal profile] hyounpark: I retract my prior judgment
[personal profile] ursamajor: hahaha, that looks hilarious in my fancyass font allcapsed :D
[personal profile] hyounpark: Tofu?
[personal profile] ursamajor: ................ the entire point of a quesadilla is that it's two tortillas held together by ooeygooey melted cheese. if there's no cheese, it's not a quesadilla.
[personal profile] hyounpark: Armadillos?
[personal profile] ursamajor: it's a wrap, or whatever other modern parlance bullshit is being used. I wish you luck butchering that armadillo *G*
[personal profile] hyounpark: I thought kimchi would replace the queso
[personal profile] ursamajor: no, kimchi, in its function as a hot pepper, would replace salsa.
[personal profile] hyounpark: A minced kimchi, almost a paste
[personal profile] ursamajor: yeah, but kimchi's not a binder the way cheese is
[personal profile] hyounpark: Now I'm offended
[personal profile] ursamajor: I'm confused *G*
[personal profile] hyounpark: Gochu jang!
[personal profile] ursamajor: kimchi uses gochu in its pickling, yeah? i mean, obvs not a white kimchi
[personal profile] hyounpark: Kimchi is not like salsa /korean ;)
[personal profile] ursamajor: um. it's a hell of a lot more like salsa than kochuchang!!
[personal profile] hyounpark: There's red pepper in most kimchi
[personal profile] ursamajor: salsa that's *paste-like* is an abomination
[personal profile] hyounpark: Kochujang could be the binder! FIREDILLA!
[personal profile] ursamajor: good salsa has distinguishable chunks of the vegetables it's composed of. oh dear. So your new business is going to be opening a FIRE NATION FOOD TRUCK?
[personal profile] hyounpark: MEAT IN STICKS. Meat on sticks
[personal profile] ursamajor: you have to break the sticks open? ;) *ducks*
[personal profile] hyounpark: MEAT OVER STICKS
[personal profile] ursamajor: meat around sticks?
[personal profile] hyounpark: Meat under sticks! MEAT STICKS
[personal profile] ursamajor: meat by sticks! SNAP INTO A SLIMJIM <3
[personal profile] hyounpark: MEat in sticks are like your rollup things in the freezer
[personal profile] ursamajor: ooh, good point. i don't think there's enough binder in taquitos for them to be just plain meat sticks
[personal profile] hyounpark: And the irony? My lunch today is from clover [the local vegetarian food truck]
[personal profile] ursamajor: :D what'd you get?
[personal profile] hyounpark: Chickpea patty sandwich. And fries.

You know what, let's just start with the food.

1. Question for Camberville/Boston people with experience with restaurants and celiac and/or needing to eat GF: have a friend with celiac coming to town in a couple of weeks. We're looking for a Sunday brunch (cuisine is flexible within the bounds of being celiac-friendly, she was quite adventurous foodwise pre-diagnosis) that is T-accessible, can handle a group of ~6-8 people, and takes reservations - does this exist or am I questing after a unicorn? Our current plan is the Friendly Toast, but apparently they don't take reservations, and even though we're planning to get there around 10, sounds like typical wait for our size party around that time would be ~45 minutes, and I'm like, "there's got to be a better way" ;)

2. This week has been Passover; per usual, the boy has been consuming far more matzah than me. I just make cookies, including coconut chocolate chip meringues and these cashew-cinnamon crisps:

Left: cashew cinnamon spice cookies. Right: coconut chocolate chip meringues. Pesach sameach!


Recipe for flourless cashew cinnamon cookies )

3. KORRA, I AM IN LOVE. I believe the season premiere is free to download on iTunes for now; if not, it debuts tomorrow morning on NICK. Giving Apple and Nickelodeon my $30 for season 1 posthaste, given we ditched most cable awhile back.

But that doesn't even get into the awesomeness of a female Avatar, confident and adventurous, and a more modern world. I do hope we get more good female characters in the mix soon

Sidebar: anybody else getting slight Zanarkand vibes? Okay, maybe it's just me wanting Korra and Mako and Bolin and Tidus and Wakka to all go out drinking together, get up to shenanigans, and then Lin Bei Fong comes along and shakes them all down. Mannnnnnn.

4. I also made chocolate olive oil mousse so that [personal profile] hyounpark and I would have a yummy dessert to eat while we were watching The Amazing Race succumb to trainwreckiness.

Dessert, to go along with the return of the Amazing Race.


Ugh, TAR, I watch you because most of the time you *don't* pull this bullshit. For a show that's supposed to be 40-45 minutes in viewing length, I should not be able to watch an episode in under 20 minutes because I keep having to fastforward past all the dramallama. With six teams left, I should not actively dislike four of them.

5. Is it time for more Korra yet? Is it?
