In Which Amy Eats... (Myspace Blog)

Food... I love food. Yummy crunchy food, soft food, sour food, liquid food... I really really love food.

But there are a few foods that are the super-est yummiest most best-est foods ever.

Mexican food, for example. Crunchy chip in spicy salsa with creamy sour cream and guacamole... menudo con limon with tons of cebolla, flautas filled with chicken so yummy that your mouth waters... enchiladas smothered in green chile grown in hatch, with an egg on top... Oh mexican food is so good. I love mexican food.

And chinese food - oh, yum yum yum - lo mein noodles eaten with chop sticks... kung pao shrimp with crunchy peanuts in its delightful spicy sauce... rice rice rice - sticky steamed rice that is like heaven, and fried rice with the peas and carrots and randome chunks of egg... fortune cookies that HAVE to be read with 'between the sheets' following, and those super sticky super sweet super yummy candies that you can eat the paper on... So So yummy.

I am telling you all this not because I am hungry. Actually, my tumbly is not rumbly at all... but full of frijoles, spanish rice, and horchata. (Ooo... horchata - arroz con leche in a glass with sprinkles of cinnamon... yum) I think I just needed to take a moment to talk about food.

There are so many yummy types of food, that I'm not sure that I have a favourite. All food is my favourite. All food, that is, except for hot dogs and bologna. According to Amy's world dictionary, hot dogs and bologna are not food. They are pig lips and cockroach legs. Ew. Not for me. I admit to having a prejudice against them. I am racist against all classes of food that involve pig lips and cockroaches. And I don't really like pork, either, but I don't hate it with the passion that I reserve for hot dogs and bologna.

There are so many types of food in the world to try... curry, for example. I have never had curry. Or swedish food. Or hugarian food. Or iranian food. Maybe I should travel around the world simply to try all the different kinds of food...

But wait. If I did that, I would have to try things like monkey brains and maggots and rocky mountain oysters. Hmm... no. Never mind. I don't want to eat those.

I forgot that you don't like hotdogs or bologna. I HATE the both of those myself! I have always hated them and I always will hate them. There are things that I hate more (like ocra, beef liver, and a few others), but those two are the two that get me the funniest looks when others find out that I hate them. It's almostlike I'm not an American because I don't like hotdogs or bologne. Go fucking figure!!

I had forgotten that you don't like hot dogs or bologna either! How funny... must be why we never have those during cook outs at Moms house. ;) Steak... yummy... though not as good since you are in fucking DALLAS!!!

And, Jimmy - you are wrong. Okra is lovely, especially when it is fried into those crunchy little rings of yummy goodness... and liver is good occasionally. But maybe I like it for the iron - I dig raw spinach too. And Rare steak.

But you are right about being un-American for not liking bologna or hot dogs. I get the looks too. So when it comes down to it - I get vegetarian hot dogs. They don't taste the same as regular crap hot dogs. Not wonderful, but fairly passable.

Love you... I'm calling you today to tell you about my shit day yesterday... my bathroom wall is trying to fall in!
