Other positive snacky news

[cjsmith]

I spent (mumble) over $60 at Trader Joe's this afternoon. In addition to that $11 tub of sawdust powder and the bag of almond meal, I also got:
- my favorite kind of hummus
- three different bitter dark chocolate bars
- three different kinds of salame
- two kinds of hard cheese
- and a cheese/prosciutto/basil roll.

(Also buffalo burgers, pine nuts, ginger, and spinach -- but those aren't snacks, exactly; those are ingredients or meals.) I think the only thing I skipped was the partridge in the pear tree. Well, and the alcohol, of course. :-(

Rob says if I complain tomorrow about not having anything to eat, he will smack me. I told him that with the massive quantities of food I've been eating lately, I may very well have nothing left tomorrow. :-)

oh, yum, buffalo burgers. Although what I like even better than those are ostrich burgers! They're not cheap though.

Where would one find such a thing? Does TJ's get them sometimes?

They used to, years ago, serve them at Fuddrucker's, which is where I first had them. Apparently the cost of ostrich meat went up though and they decided it wasn't worth serving them. Then, more recently, I found them at Whole Foods.

*nodnod*. Tied House occasionally has odd meats available, but I think they don't do ostrich.

Oh, hey, that reminds me - La Fondue also has ostrich as part of their "wild thing" plate, which has lots of interesting yummy meats. This all makes me think - that might be someplace you could still eat dinner, maybe? Lots of veggies, meat, and cheese? As long as you didn't do any of the bread cubes or dessert? I dunno, maybe you're not to the point of looking for places to eat out yet. It's also pricey. It was just a thought though...

I adore La Fondue, although yeah, it's pricey. I need to ask about cheese fondue, as it is held together by starch, and I love making it.
