> My food memory is very short. I could eat the same thing over and over again and not notice. For the past couple months my fiance has been out of town, so I've had no motivation to make a nice dinner every night. Instead I'll cook one big meal, and have that for lunch and dinner for a week. I also freeze a bit for later. Sometimes if it's really good, it will end up breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

> I usally go in food phases. For 6 months I'll eat copius amounts of banannas, edamame, eggs,black beans, or (like right now) eggs AND black beans. I like pretty much all food, and would eat all food regularly if I wasn't so preoccupied with other things than eatting :) Also, there's nothing like a new gadget to bring on new food phases. I got a cool new Japanese style teapot for brewing loose leaf tea, so for the past 3 weeks I've been drinking tea non-stop.

Can you translate "edamame" into some dialect that I can understand? "Southern" is good, or maybe "Redneck." I'll bet it turns out to be grits.

I had a little trouble the first time "top ramen" came up on RinkWorks. I had never heard of it before, but now I have a granddaughter who practically lives on the stuff. It looks like some kind of deformed noodles to me. Maybe I'll try it sometime. I had stewed turnips today. They were the first of the season and fresh out of the garden so they were gooooooood.
