Butter or did Garrison get excited?
Garrison Keillor obviously getting a bit too close to his sweet corn with that quote. Very Children of the Corn. Which is another reason to shun vegetables. Look what those kids did when pushed by corn.
Speaking of corn; try this puzzle. A farmer has to get his fox, his chicken and some corn across a river. He can only take one thing in his boat at a time. If he leaves the fox and the chicken alone the fox will eat the chicken. If he leaves the chicken and the corn alone the chicken will eat the corn. How does he get them all across?
I found this madness in the supermarket today; Vegetarian friendly soap. What next, vegetarian toilet paper?!
Vegetarian Dish of the Day:
Discovery more adventurous tastes Mexican spicy Refried Beans
Box Blurb: Traditional refried pinto beans spiced with red pepper, cumin and jalapenos. What they lack in beauty they more than make up for in flavour.
These looks so bad they felt they had to acknowledge it on the pack. If ever I needed fake dog poop this is where I would go. But that aside I love refried beans and thought I would try and use them in a jacket potato. Interesting aside;
‘’The name is based on a mistranslation. In Mexican Spanish, the prefix re- is an informal form of emphasis meaning "very" or "well," not to be confused with the English re- and formal use of the Spanish prefix re-, which indicates repetition. Thus, frijoles refritos, the Spanish name of this dish, would translate to English as "well-fried beans," not "twice-fried beans’’
I’ve always been a big fan of Mexican food; it got me through a terrible ordeal in Newquay (thank you Senior Dicks). And whilst this brand is excellent and spicy in taste unfortunately as a filling refried beans quickly showed their incompatibility. Baked beans work well due to their tomato sauce but as their refried brothers lack as sauce and are very gooey. They were too thick I felt and whilst still very edible as a meal I think I will leave it to bake beans when it comes to Jacket Potatoes in the future. Refried beans can stay alongside Enchiladas where they belong.
