Saturdays and food, in that order

I think I can best summarize my workday by repeating what I told my coworker just after I unplugged: "This must be Saturday. Usually, the little old ladies aren't the ones with porn playing in the background." C'est la guerre.

Meanwhile, my bid to eat something new every day has mostly been successful so far, with only a couple of missed days and no flagging interest. Some recent choices:

* Saya Snow Pea Crisps: There needs to be an adjective meaning "quaintly marginal" as applied to foodstuffs. The bag makes these things look like actual pea pods rendered snacky, perhaps an extension of the wasabi peas theory; sadly, although they do indeed contain peas, said peas have been processed, mushed, mixed, molded and baked into vaguely greasy little second cousins to puffed cheese doodles. That said, they're kind of addictive. Just not as, y'know, real food. Will probably buy again.

* Pepino melon: Also known as a "mellowfruit," a name I adore above measure. Unfortunately, I didn't much care for it. I have my suspicions that it may have been a tad underripe, even though all the guides I'd seen indicated that it should have been fine. Oh, well.

* Quizno's Baja Chicken Sub: It was a sandwich. It had chicken. It had Baja sauce. I ate it. I didn't laugh. I didn't cry. It was fine as far as it went. Whoopie. I want a do-over.

* Feta chees omelet: Cheating, since I've had both feta cheese and omelets, just not the two in combination. No surprises that I liked it.

* Green tea ice cream: Something I've been waiting to try for ten years. Could have easily waited another ten. Bleagh.
