Fish balls, fish balls; eat them up. Yum! 31 Mar 08
Did you know: If you want to take your fish balls out to the movies, you DON’T HAVE TO PAY to get them in! What a deal!
Say someone challenged you to come up with a dish involving your choice of seafood, lime and coconut. You’d probably come up with something a lot like this, I’m sure: coconut rice and yellowtail suckers with a trio of spicy lime dipping sauces. Because when people think “fish,” they think “lollipop,” right?
Okay, I know, it sounds freaky and maybe a little bit gross. It’s just that the ingredients for this month’s Foodie Joust over at the Leftover Queens’s lent themselves so well to a variety of Thai-inspired fish dishes and curries. And they’re all looking really good, and I don’t think I could top ‘em. So I figured, if I can’t beat you in flavor inventiveness, I can… also not beat you in shape and form. But at least in the meantime, I get to eat a fried thing on a stick. Also I get to say “fish balls” a lot.
Fish balls. Fish balls. Fish balls.

Now Playing: Smackdown, Interrupted 28 Feb 08
Brian is out of town on business this Thursday evening. As the Smackdown is purely a team event (at least at our house), and it was his week to pick the dish anyway, tonight’s match has been postponed. Depending on whether or not I decide to wrest my attention away from the blogosphere and actually attend an actual social event with actual living people, there may or may not be a special edition Friday Night Smackdown. Which I will call something else so the wrestling organization does not sue me. I mean, look what they did to the World Wildlife Federation - if they’ll go after the pandas, they’ll damn sure come after me. Heartless motherfuckers. (Just kidding! Don’t sue me for libel!)
Super Bowl Snackdown I: Bagna Beans 04 Feb 08
If you can’t find anything nice to say about anyone, come sit here by me.
Super Bowl Sunday: Some people gather to watch the game and eat nachos and wings, others to watch the Puppy Bowl (good job, MVP Abigail the Parsons’ Terrier!) and Olympia Dukakis movies and eat Bagna Cauda Bean Spread. I leave it to you to guess into which camp I fall.
