Current food that is mine in my apartment:
2 (two) cans Campbell’s Hot and Sour Soup*
2 (two) packages of decent instant curry
2 (two) packages of unknown quality curry mix (things other than curry, ie. meat or vegetables not included)
2 (two) bottles of Cranberry Cocktail (One regular, one Cran-Grape, which is less a perfect marriage and more an ugly custody battle for my tongue)
1 (one) big-ass bag of rice
1/2 (one-half) small container of PB, smooth (they don’t have crunchy here. THE PAIN, THE PAIN OF IT ALL)
various (various) spices
1 (one) bottle olive oil
1 (one) bottle balsamic vinegrette (that shit’s expensive here)
1 (one) can whole tomatoes
1 (one) can tomato paste
1 (one) jar whole jalapenos
1 (one) bag red beans (to make red bean soup, which I Am Going To Do, Really ®)
Because I never cook – it’s too hard, too expensive (unless you’re cooking Chinese – see #1), and my schedule sucks for cooking. Add in the fact that the food here is delicious, cheap, and available pretty much any time I want (24 hour teppanyaki, people), and you can see why I don’t have any ‘necessary’ items for eating at home.
See why people lose weight when they live in Asia?**
*This makes me so damn happy to have. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it, and did a little dance when I came across it in the store. And it’s more than decent.
**Guys, anyway. Girls tend to bloat up like mad. Must be all the rice. There’s a lot of rice here. I’m pro-rice.

I wish they sold that hot and sour soup in SK. Do you know how much I love hot and sour soup? There’s a lot of love going on between me and hot and sour soup. Not crazy-monkey-sex love, just some clean healthy tasty lovin.

If it’s still open, I think it’s called Little Saigon on Vic by Wallace (across from the Milky Way) had decent hot & sour soup. It’s impossible to find in Ottawa (though there’s a tonne of good Pho).

If it’s still there, Mongolie Grill in Bells Corners in Ottawa has good hot and sour soup. And their food is really good too.

Who’s taking me out for good food in Ottawa?

Can’t wait for hot and sour soup from the source. I’m sure there some kind of magical fountain in Thailand. Mmmm, fountain of soup.

“Mmmmmm….my PB & J sandwich with Skippy *CRUNCHY* Peanut Butter tastes really great! Oh look! The jar’s almost empty… I guess I’ll just have to stroll on down the street to Wal-Mart and pick up a new one. God it’s great to have that so conveniently located! I love it!”
