Take some whole wheat bread of medium to light consistency, and spread cottage cheese over it. Then take some ready-made pasta sauce (use your favorite,) and spread that on top of the cottage cheese. This goes well with some nice, spicy tea like Masala, Bengal Spice or Rooibos.

Parmesan on whole wheat bread
Spread butter (I use soy butter) on heavy whole wheat bread (this should be high quality, dense, stiff bread.) Take grated parmesan cheese and spread it on top. Don’t be afraid to pile it on, you’re not making a dainty little cracker, you’re making a tasty snack. For an extra kick, slice crispy, fresh cucumbers on top. A soft, aromatic tea goes well with this, like Daily Green Tea with Honey Ginseng or a Mint or Peppermint tea.
Sardines with feta cheese
Get some quality canned sardines, spread them on the plate, and crush them by pressing on them with a fork. Spray them abundantly with lemon juice, then slice up some imported feta cheese and spread it over the sardines. Delicious, isn’t it?
Eating at the IKEA Restaurant
Ligia and I had lunch at the IKEA Restaurant in College Park, MD today. It was a first for both of us. We stopped by to have a look at the store, we were hungry, and thought we’d try it out.
The look of the place is typical IKEA: modern, open, and clean. The menu is tantalizing, and the prices were great. Once again, it’s what one would expect of IKEA. We took our trays and eating utensils, and waited in line for our turn. I had the salmon dish, and Ligia had the vegetarian quiche. They looked different on our plates than their photos. And, the person who served them to us, was, shall we say, not very friendly.
At any rate, we decided to forget those little inconveniences, and we sat down to eat. One bite was all it took. The salmon was amazing. Ligia started raving about the quiche. We ended up sharing the dishes between us. It was delicious. The salmon was so nicely prepared that it practically melted in my mouth. We had the Swedish apple pie for dessert, and ended up browsing the store with smiles on our faces.
Overall, I’d recommend the IKEA restaurant. It’s got inexpensive and delicious dishes that you will enjoy.
ComeAcross Photos is up and running!
I launched the ComeAcross Photos section today. I’ve posted many of my photographs there, and more will be posted soon. You can also sign up for an account and post your own photos if you’d like. Have a look, and spread the word!
➡ Updated 1/1/08: The Photos section was done away with last year. I created a Photography category instead, where I post some of my photographs and talk about their context. You can also have a look at my portfolio site, Raoul Pop Photography.
