electric_blue68's JournalFood Fun! Your stories about eating out, searching* for less easy to find foods, cooking et al
(I need another distraction 😁 )
I was a very picky eater so LittleMe would be horriffied
by FoodieMe now. 😂
Finally in my teens I began branching out. Luckily I had Chinese American friends who helped me beyond soy drenched take out! From there another friend was introduced by her friend to Indian food, who then introducd it to me. 👍 A life long love affair started.
•I'm half 2nd Greek American. When I was a kid Greek food was sort of "exotic". Feta cheese, taziki were things you'd only find in a Greek Deli. Luckily because a fair amount of Greeks (not as many as in Astoria, Queens) settled in my neighborhood so we had a Greek Deli about less than a mile from us.
•Living in NYC we went to the '65/'66 World's Fair in Queens. Among the things they had was the International Section where in some pavilions you could eat new foods.
In the Indian Pavilion we had a mild chicken curry, but it was the Nan bread I fell in love with!
Well, my dad off and on for like ?5+ years whenever he was doing the shopping; would when he saw it because it was slowly becoming more common in general supermarkets - he'd bring home Pita bread thinking it was Nan bread.
"No, Dad, this is not Nan bread" for the x'd time. 😄
It was really sweet of him.
My problem, and it was sort of weird as a visual artist who had also a strong tactile sense; WHY I couldn't describe the difference. I'm pretty sure I had remembered otherwise why would I be so insistant!
Anyway those are the 2 stories that I've never forgotten.
I'm sure I have a restaurant, and cooking story somewhere, too.
What are your stories? 👍
*(Food searching is often easier once on line stuff really got going, still there must be stories)
As far as a 2020 Post Election Meme went would it possibly change a few RW minds now...
The one that says (approximately)
If The Democrats
REALLY STOLE The Election
Then WHY aren't there
More Democrats in
The Senate and The House?
Maaaaybe a few RWrs have a couple of
logic circuits left?
(prompted by the OP "Not Normal") When do you think "The '60s" stated?
(I was mentioning the divisiveness of "the '60s in response to a post [I lived through it in NYC] and saying now is worse)
I think "the '60s" started with The Beatles arrival in the USA (NYC) in 2/64.
What do you think? 👍
Since I know there are scientists on this site - a question; Is there any kind of electrostatic...
charge in a larger field effect that can be generated from some kind of invention that might attract various forms (or at least one) form of plastic, and pull ir out of the ocean, lakes etc?
I may be verrrry off base, but this idea has floated around in my mind for about 8+ months.
"Fight" Songs for DU'ers
Erm my ghad - it worked! 😊 Never tried using the clipboard feature to do this. 👍
For these very challenging times...
I looove to watch fireworks. I'd be happy if event planners ditched the noisy, or only sound making
making ones to lessen people's fur buds anxieties.
