Afternoon slide
Jun. 26th, 2002 03:37 pmI was going like gang busters until about 15 mins ago. Now I'm in my afternoon slide. It's ok, though. I got a ton of very good stuff done while I was still productive.
The other night on the Food Channel I heard that the favorite pizza topping in Australia is egg. No detail. Scrambled? Fried? Poached? I can't get a feel for this at all.
As it happens, a friend of mine who lives in New Zealand is in Sydney on business so I popped him an email about the egg pizza. He said that he'd never heard of it but he'd ask around at the office today (in Sydney), but meanwhile, he was eating breakfast in the hotel this morning and some Americans were there and they didn't know what passionfruit was. "Don't you have passionfruit???" he asks...
Ok, I'm not a fruit lover particularly. I have had passionfruit but can't say that I stumble over it at every turn in Seattle. I did a little poll here at the office and most have heard of it, most of them while on vacation in Hawaii. Someone said they carry it at the Japanese grocery nearby.
I sent him my passionfruit report and am waiting now to get details on this egg pizza thing.
It's still hot. I'm still not happy about it.

For the most part our fruits are shipped to us before they are truly ripe.
Bring on the chocolate I say. hmmmm now theres an idea lets dip all the fruits in chocolate!
