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.
Croissants with butter, sour cream and cinnamon
Here’s another of my favorite snacks: croissants with butter, sour cream and cinnamon. The preparation is quite simple. Slice the croissant in half, spread butter inside, sour cream on top of the croissant, then sprinkle cinnamon. I prefer to use organic ingredients. Enjoy!
Why do beans give people gas?
From Ask Yahoo!: “Your question reminds us of that ancient proverb, as recited by Bart Simpson: ‘Beans, beans, the musical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot.’ Bart speaks the truth, for few foods inspire as much gastrointestinal activity as a plate full of beans. Hold your breath as we sniff out the science behind the smells…” Here’s the stinky link.
