Don't you think it's funny that the way we cut up the lime makes the cactus look drunk *and* mean? Like the actor who played the guy who shot Buffalo Bill Cody in Deadwood?
That guy is awesome.
What kind of food id that? It looks gross. I hope you
eat more normal foods than whatever that is in order
to stay healthy.
Let's see if I can comment today. The word verification was all wonky yesterday.
Oh do tell about the cactus.
Our new grocery store has really cool, strange items (shrimp with eyes, legs, and antenna as an example). In the produce area, there was a cactus section.
I was excited about it. Another customer, who was standing in the section, told me how good it tasted. I have no idea if he was pulling my leg or if he has no sense of "good."
I brought it home and found a recipe online. The recipe was, essentially, pull off the spikes (a difficult and painful task), throw it in a pot of boiling water, serve. A second recipe indicated that I could grill the cactus and then serve in olive oil and lime. I chose option A.
We first tried the boiled cactus without any lime. So nasty I had to spit it out. Then, we put lime on it. Verdict: still gross. Hence, the sad face.
I should have photographed the making of, but in a fit of optimism, I figured I could shoot it the next time I made it. Yeah, that won't be happening.
