Diverse Palate

For once, there is a government holiday, I've done nearly all the work around the house I have to do so I'm left to my own devices. Other than not showering and messing around with the dogs, so far I've been a total waste.

So, I decided to prepare dessert for this evening's meal. We're having a roughly Thai entree so I looked up Mango Sticky Rice on the intraweb. Whee.

It was all coming along nicely until I was distracted by Pantaloons of Doom wanting a biscuit. In the nanosecond it took me to give him a biscuit my coconut milk started boiling over. Luckily I caught it quickly enough but then had a gargantuan mess to clean up.

Undaunted, I then went searching for a fried green tomato recipe. You see, in July our tomato vines started dying. The hub cut them back and intended to pitch them, but when they started regrowing he left them in place. We never got another red tomato but now I've got a gross butt load of green ones that will rot in this cold if I do nothing with them.

So, one night this week we'll be having the uber southern meal of macaroni and cheese and fried green tomatoes. Talk about your multicultural menus.
