So I went grocery shopping today and got some daikon radish (“you know who likes daikon? lesbians.” — thanks, peanut gallery) and when I got to the checkout, the girl was like, “um, do you know what this is called?” I went blank and didn’t. She’s like “it’s some kind of root I think”, and called her manager. The manager didn’t know either, so they just gave it to me for free. The people in line behind me called to their friends, “quick, go pick out all the exotic produce!”
I cooked it along with a variety of other vegetables (which Nefarious was the prep cook for), rice, and tilapia in a sweet and sour sort of sauce. Very delicious… And fantasized about eating it on a boat, as I read the Living Aboard forums and wait for Big Brother to start.

maybe the lesbians are on to something we don’t know about, shannon.
Shannon that is so delicious looking! Anyone that eats in your household is incredibly lucky!! (Where did you learn to cook by the way?)
PS, do you still read ModBlog these days? Or should I say BME News.
which big brother are you watching? (nation-wise) british, US?
i dont think it really matter which big brother it is, the real question is, why watch that?
but on another note that food does look/sounds great
Ha, the child in me was quick to notice how much like a cock and balls that fish at the bottom looks!
On a little more related note, crazily I got leeks free for quite a while, in Wales of all places, because the computer scanner the store used didn’t know what they were and it took them months to fix it.
This title seems so personal. But I am a paranoid narcissist. Fine, your ignorance is MY bliss, so there! :)
I buy my fish from the docks. Good thing too ’cause when landlocked had a helluva hard time finding fish not treated with carbon monoxide “to retain color”. Yuck!
On cooking, or not cooking, since buying vidalia onions, I havent cooked a one. So mild, “you only cry when they are gone”.
hahahha
it DOES look like cock and balls!
There is a hot dog stand in Vancouver that serves grated Daikon on your dog. Mmmmmm!
the grossest daikon i ever had was in japan. they cooked it in huge chunks with mackerel fat in a kind of stew.
i took a bite and almost vomited. i dont think i can ever eat it again.
apparently the same thing happens when cashier’s ring up Jicama, too.
“what is this? a radish?”
