Show me your tahini

Tuesday, September 29. 2009

I had fish tacos today. Two of them. No beans, no rice. Then I went to the expensive yuppie organic grocery store. I needed something called "tahini" for a recipe I’m making for dinner tonight.

I asked one of the unshaven long-haired gentlemen working in the expensive olives and cheese section. He showed me where this expensive tahini was, and then he launched into a long spiel on what tahini is, how they make it, and what it goes well in. I wasn’t listening though; I was second-guessing my decision to forgo the beans and rice. I thanked him and then realized he was hitting on me, attempting to impress with the depth of his tahini knowledge.

I like saying tahini now. Not as much as I like saying Del Scorcho, but quite a bit.

Then, on my way back to the office, I went to the gas station and put 3.12 gallons of gasoline into my motorcycle.

Can anyone recall a worse lunch blog entry? I’m not in a good place right now.

I'm sorry the amorous hippy salesman put you off your game. Normally you wouldn't be so quick to give up on a blog entry though I now too wish you had had the beans and rice.

By the by, I have a couple great tahini-infused recipes so if you are ever looking for something to use your overpriced tahini in, let me know.

Thank you, MoMama, I'll take you up on your generous tahini offer. That's the kind of lunch-centric information exchange I strive to inspire with my work here.

Tahini is really good stuff, probably because it's so wonderfully loaded. It's the peanut-butter of the sesame seed world. Tasty.

Works well in Asian noodle recipes. Expensive though, I agree with you.

Not to ever impose content on your blog (I wouldn't dream of it), but I think that you should have an entry sometime in the future addressing the lunch implications of Motorcycle etiquette and helmet safety concerns.

Nothing like a subtle morality message to accompany your lunch. Aids in digestion.

I've gone on the record, theolecranon, stating on numerous occasions that lunch is meal that--99% of the time--does not require protective head gear. Now try and relax.

Nobody tells Ricky what should or shouldn't be an entry in the future!
