My dad would get a long straw, stick it in my glass from across the table, and yell "I drink your milkshake!"
I hated that.

Went to this today. http://eatrealfest.com/REALLY good food, almost everything was from food tents, taco trucks, etc. GREAT food, pupusas, empanads, ribs, beer, korean food, seafood, soul food, etc. And, I found one of my new favorite beers, 21st Amendment Watermelon Wheat. My wife doesn't care for beer and she almost drank all of mine. My buddy lives near the brewery and he's getting some tomorrow. BevMo carries it but only one local store has stock.

Yeah, this was a good surprise. Normally, your stuck w/ the standard fried artichokes, corn, sausages, and other standard fare. This was all great food, served in smaller, tapas-sized portions and NOTHING was over $4, some as low as $2. Loved the ability to just taste everything. We left only cause we were full.

I used to dislike eggplant, but apparently my parents were preparing it wrong. The key steps to making a great eggplant parm is to cut the eggplant very thin, seasoned breadcrumbs and using good quality mozzarella cheese. Having the oil up to proper temperature is also an important step when frying the breaded eggplant so it does not become greasy. Making a nice homemade tomato sauce isn't difficult, its the little steps that make all the difference.

Eggplant is the one food that I know of that invokes my gag reflex just by having it in my mouth. I'm not sure why, but I'd rather eat deep fried beetle.

It is probably a texture/mouthfeel thing. Eggplant is a unique vegetable. Speaking about vegetables, recently I had a pasta salad that had chopped radish along with the more traditional vegetables such as celery, onion etc. It was soooo good. Radish would be another vegetable I would put on my favorites list.

I like roasted peppers and black olives(pitted) on a nice spring mix garden salad. Usually I'll chop up a baked chicken breast and throw it on top of the salad, then add some bacon ranch style dressing to it...yummy!!

Use "PC" Southern Style Chicken breasts or "Janes" Garlic Pepper chicken, they're both good.
