Foooood, Om Nom Nom Nom

Today I learned that soy chai latte is actually pretty awesome, so now I too can blow $5 and 200 calories at Starbucks. If I can find a pastry that won't try to kill me with butter*, I might actually start hanging out at coffeehouses!

*Dramatic license. "Distress my GI tract in ways you don't want to discuss at the dinner table" is much less snappy.

Roommate M. called about half an hour ago to apologize for her attitude this morning and say she had sushi to split. Since I don't recall her having an attitude this morning - in the cinematic retelling of my life, Act 2009 Scene 02 June AM will be filmed with vaseline on the lens and maybe some rotoscoping in post-processing to emphasize my complete lack of opinion about anything but breakfast and caffeine - I am calling this a culinary win.

Meatloaf for lunch wasn't bad, but by definition was greasier than I like. Someone suggested trying ground turkey, which sounds interesting. I'm really there for the spicing; the exact meat can be tweaked with (relative) impunity. Mmm, fresh parsley.

If you don't trust the source of your ground turkey, buy a turkey breast and hand it to the guy to grind for you. Sometimes ground turkey is treated like ground beef, as in they add in extra fat.

You can get deli people to do that? Wow. (Not that I'm part of the prepackaged generation or anything.)

If you are buying it at a grocery store (like the Giant next to the Chinese dumpling place), you can definitely get the butcher to grind things for you. Pick out a piece of meat you'd buy, and ring the bell and ask him to grind it for you.
