I know these things probably do not interest you, but they amuse me.
In my last twitter, I mentioned I had a burrito with mole sauce (two syllables, not one). Now, a guy with a mole/wart removal web site is following me. I'm sure it's done automatically (someone from Peru started following me after I mentioned eating guinea pig in Peru), but it's still funny. I wonder how many Mexican food enthusiasts he's inadvertently following?
I went to the Jim Henson exhibit at EMP today. It was great, of course, and included a small stage where you could control a muppet for a short song. There were also 4-5 walls covered in soft muppet fur, and I had to restrain myself from rubbing my face all over it. Sooo soft. Sooo covered in little kid snot. I was bummed that they cut off the exhibit at The Dark Crystal and Fraggle Rock, but there was a space constraint, so oh well. (No LABYRINTH!!!!! I know it's a little redundant, but still! Bah.)
Also, a small confession: Jim Henson was cute when he was younger. Pre-hippie beard. Look:
Time to flesh out a twitter!
So, this kid tells me he's going to Peru this summer for two weeks with his family. (Lucky!) And he says he's going to eat guinea pig on a stick, obviously reveling in the grossout factor. We discussed what it might taste like. He guessed chicken, I guessed pork, but I've never had small mammal before. Part of me hopes I'm still around in September when he comes back for a few more sessions (at my fake job, did I tell you I have a fake job? It's boring, and 99% babysitting.) so I can hear his stories, but most of me hopes I will have a Real Job by then.
While on the topic of crazy food, I told him he would like basashi. I hope he turns out awesome, because any 9-year-old who wants to eat the crazy food is awesome. (Although he doesn't like "pasta with basil and chicken and green beans." Totally puzzling.)
Also, I bought my first shallot ever on Tuesday! So Fancy! (Sorry, it amuses me when I buy an ingredient for the first time. I was equally pleased with myself the first time I bought cauliflower.)
