Jury Duty Thoughts on Food

Since I have nothing but time to kill while sitting here waiting to be called (and rejected) for jury duty, I thought it would be a good time to reflect on a few of my food thoughts. First of all, kudos to Julie McCoy for jumping in and blogging about the Saratoga weekend. It certainly was a great weekend full of good food, friends, and fun. The only bad thing about our weekends away is the need to detox afterward. So, for the last 36 hours, I have eaten more field greens, cucumber salads, roasted vegetables than any carnivore should eat. I also have been to the gym 3 times since my return. I'm starting to wonder if all that delicious food is worth the detox period, as I hate exercise and I certainly wouldn't choose to eat vegetables at every meal. Something to ponder...

I also am intrigued by a few of the blogs. I hate to always be the one to rebut (see my blog against lobster rolls), but I have to disagree with Meggers on her thoughts on the nicoisse salad. The look, smell, and texture of the egg and tuna alone is enough to make me vomit. I don't think anyone can convince me that the nicoisse is a brilliant cullinary creation.

Finally, I am now going to spend the rest of my time waiting in the jury pool to write in my tastebook. I've been working on my own cookbook this summer, and hope to "publish" it before school begins in September. Wish me luch.
