Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My parents are of the "no spicy food, please" persuasion. Which means when they visit we can do Italian, "American"(steakhouse or seafood) or Chinese(Thai is ok, as long as spicy food is marked on the menu).

I'll try most types of food.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I was just reading something about Caribbean food, and all the pictures looked really good, so now I'm flipping through the Caribbean Vegan cookbook, trying to decide what to make. I think I'm going to have to wait until I'm visiting my parents to get some of these ingredients, so I guess I'll be making some Caribbean food for them.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

What kind of dishes are Caribbean, Hil? (I'm waiting for dinner to cook, and I'm really hungry, so talking about food is the next best thing.)

I love rioja

NOM, rioja. I loved just sitting down and asking for "una rioja" and drinking whatever they gave me, it was all good.

It looks like lots of different sorts of breads with fillings, lots of beans and rice, a bunch of things made with squash, and most of the sauces are heavy on the onions, garlic, peppers, and parsley or cilantro. A few okra recipes, lots of things that use plantains, some curried things, and a kind of bread called Buss-Up-Shut Roti. (Note: pretty much everything I know about Caribbean food comes from this cookbook, which was written by a woman from Barbados, and which I haven't read too closely yet. This is just the general impression I'm getting from flipping through it.)

Is parsley part of the Cajun Holy Trinity of spices with onion and garlic, or is that celery?

I thought it was bell peppers.

Onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sort of a variation on mirepoix (onions, carrots and celery), as I learned it.

That all sounds yummy.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just RSVPd to come to work in the middle of the night for the MSL landing.
