Food Post Just Because (Again)

Ordered quinoa flatbread for lunch today. Was expecting a "pizza" topped with goat cheese, basil, mushrooms, asparagus and quinoa. Got a triangular piece of very salty flatbread topped with mushrooms and a mountain of quinoa, with the cheese puree and basil around the edge of the plate and the asparagus heaped to the side. Was not pleased, especially as the restaurant has been very good on previous occasions. Not only was it not what I expected, I honestly didn't like it at all.

Not one of my better mornings; I was spazzing around the kitchen at 6 AM looking for my jar of rambutan honey. Made do with black sage honey instead, but was very disappointed at apparently losing a jar of uncommon (read: not cheap) varietal honey. Opened the cupboard this afternoon looking for some rose syrup to put in my milk, and found the rambutan honey hiding out with six or seven other jars of varietal honey. D'oh.

Did not find the rose syrup.

Carr's Whole Wheat biscuits topped with honey-infused goat cheese and Croatian fig-cocoa marmalade turns out to be a very tasty snack.

I need to either take a nap or start on dinner and I'm not sure which...

Taking a nap is always good! Although sometimes it just ends up making you feel even more tired...

And now I'm hungry.

Slept for three hours and then made dinner, as it happened. Which seems to have been a good move.

I've always found that sleeping and then eating tends to make one refreshed. At least in my experience. Seems to have worked out though!

You should totally do a meta post on regional cuisines. *^*

Unfortunately, I don't have nearly as clear a picture of the other continents. I might try Magvel. Maybe.
