Pad Thai

Like, I think green onions are even worse than regular vegetables. At least normal stuff are big enough to pick out or eat around. But green onions are so small and have so much flavor. I spent 5 minutes today just picking them out of my Pad Thai. Look at how many there were.



And the first thing I see when I opened my lunch today was bean sprouts. THERE WERE SO MANY BEAN SPROUTS! Sometimes, I think it takes too much effort to eat.

Tofu Makes Me Angry

Here's a list of things which I think are stupid:

• Tofu hot dogs
• Tofu turkey

I'll eat tofu sometimes, but only if it's been fried or something in meaty, animal fat. And it has to be in a dish alongside other real meat like chicken or pork. Even then I usually just peel away the fried parts and throw away the slimy, oozy centers. That stuff is just gross. There's a guy I work with who eats tofu for lunch sometimes but when he does I try to sit at least one seat away from him because he's eating tofu and also he makes inappropriate comments.

Parsley just sucks

I often wonder why vegetables and other "greens" are considered food decorators and how they are supposed to add color to your meal. I have been putting off talking about it, but last week was really the end of it.

I mean, last week I went to the palace family steak house in San Francisco, and I ordered a club steak meal and a large coke. I was really looking forward to it, and I was even ignoring the grease on the walls just because of the fumes coming from the kitchen got me dreaming. But when they finally bring out my plate, I just stare at it. Not only do they drop this baked potato thingy all over my steak, they also spread this evil-looking greenish parsley all over the lower right side of it! I could remove the potato I guess, and even pretend that it's a large fry or something, but the parsley taste, there is just no way to get it out.

I mean, I go out and pay money for something I am supposed to enjoy, and then they go ahead and make their own decisions. All they asked me was how I wanted my steak done, and not whether or not they should put stuff on top off it.

I was so appalled that I had to take a picture of it before I had them take the whole thing back.

Onion Rings

Onion rings are tough, because they're fried, and I love fried, but they're also entirely vegetable. I'll eat them, and I'll even eat the onions inside the batter, but if I bite into an onion ring, and the onion comes out of the batter, then I'll just drop the onion and eat the batter. That's the best part anyways.

Basically, I just leave it up to fate. If I take a bite, and there's only a small bit of vegetable, I'll eat it, but if it's too much, then I won't.

That's my general philosophy on borderline vegetables like onions and avocado and sun-dried tomatoes. I don't really like them, but if there's a small bit in something, I'll eat it. But if I go to take a bite of my sandwich and a big sun-dried tomato comes out, I'll get rid of it.

cheeseSTEAK

I was in line at the Manhattan Hub today, and a couple of the salads caught my eye: the prosciutto and pasta salad with peas that could easily be picked off, as well as the cheese tortellini pasta salad with BIG carrots and tomatoes. But I ordered the cheesesteak and left behind a pile of green peppers and onions in the lunch room. I picked out the veggies so that the meat was pure.

It was divine!

Veggies? Gross

Do I ever eat vegetables? No, never. Well, sometimes I'll eat onion rings only if they're mostly covered in batter.

When I order food, I try to choose an item that won't have any veggies on it, and if it's not avoidable, I ask them to make it without, but sometimes I have to just pick it out myself. Like this one time when we were at Washington Bakery, and I ordered the meat over rice and there were 6 peas on top.

Toaster Oven

Last Friday I went to Toaster Oven and ordered the Italiano with double meat and just a little bit of mayo on the bread. It was perfect.
