Food that isn't food.

I got a little sloppy in my timing last night as I was looking up some things and got to the blog a bit late.

But to continue where I left off the game is both fun and has a side benefit of letting me come up with a few things to add to my story of runcible, the super hero who eats these types of things. Oh and it helps make the work in the kitchen go faster and much more fun.

I challenged Julz to give me a food that couldn't be ruined using only real edible foods you could find in the stores. She had me stumped for some mins. I think I beat it but she seemed unsure. Her choice was the potato. It took me a bit but I'm of the opinion that adding coffee to a potato would make it less appealing.

Green olives was a tricky one too, because quite frankly adding the kings of food spoilage (feta, and or tunafish didn't really take this out of the realm of edible by most standards) but when I discovered the idea of mixing it with oranges it fell. I was unsure if you'd serve that as a soup or something but julz made a good point that blending it smooth and using it as a dip would be most effective.

I'm even entertaining the idea of making a list of grocery store food items and giving them each a point value based on the ease with which they can be spoiled, and making some kind of game out of it.

Of course I've also been entertaining the idea of compling a book of dirty puzzles, because it seems to me that here are jokes for kids and dirty jokes, then there are puzzles and games for all ages but no dirty puzzles. Considreing humanities facination with the dirty stuff I'm surprised.

any way that's my mind goofing off.

Don't know when I'll Next post but expect at least on monday. I'll have plenty to talk about, as I look for a new place to live and already had some adventures in that search.

But not enough time or space in this time space continuum of ours for now.
Take care of yourselves,
Roving Jack.
