I am totally obsessed with The Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman. This guy is insane. Basically, dude goes around the world and eats the local delicacies ... you know, a traveling Fear Factor.
On this episode, he's in Uganda eating all kinds of random intestines and field rats. At one point, he is offered the small intestine of a goat ... yummers! He's a bit hesitant and unsure whether the intestine has been thoroughly cleaned, and after tasting it, he says "mmm, definitely still some food in there ... if I really worked hard at it, I could probably guess what that goat had for dinner before it got killed. I've had braised goat innards before, but never this rustic. That's goat-y." HAHA. Dude, the guy didn't even make a gagging noise after he tasted it! So hardcore.
Is it weird that I feel like eating now? Whitestar always says that I would be the only person who would ever receive chemotherapy and come out gaining weight. Yeah, I'm a survivor. Although, is he calling me fat? I've been very sensitive to this issue lately. The other day Blackstar and I were talking and I mention that I might go for a run, to which he responds "What?!? YOU run?" As if I don't know how to run ... what the shizz? He was really surprised, like outrageously flabbergasted by this fact! So, I was like "dude, are you calling me fat." And he says "NOOOO, I'm just surprise you run because you never mention it." Not, "NO, don't be silly, you're a skinny minnie" or "NO, of course you're not fat." Yeah, I didn't get a denial of this which means that he did intend to say that if I had run, why do I still look like a do. Rat-fricken-bastard. What did I do in response? I ate, of course. It's a sick cycle.
Anyway, my quest for the perfect fried chicken continues. I have put my chicken in a buttermilk-hotsauce marinade over night and have prepared a 9 spice flour mix to dredge the chicken in. I'm pretty excited, but that's not saying much. If I get up and shower, its been a big day for me.
