1. What is the most intense of vegetables?
"The beet is the most intense of vegetables." It's the opening line of Tom Robbin's Jitterbug Perfume. It makes perfect sense.
2. What is your guilty pleasure when it comes to food?
I also love wrapping anything and everything in bacon.
Both my roomate and I were baking things for a potluck. I was experimenting with a cake recipe and he was making his brother's famous banana bread for the first time. He had been craving it for months. Because of time constraints we baked our stuff at the same time. I got the measurements all wrong and the cake exploded all over the oven and started burning. We had to take everything out and clean it up. Even though we put the banana bread back in, the temperature had fluctuated too much so the outside of the bread was hard as a rock but the inside was uncooked and mushy. It was kind of gross and I felt really bad especially because my cake came out okay. Now, I stay out of the kitchen when he makes banana bread.
I don't really feel guilty about eating anything, but if I had to choose it would be bacon. Even more specifically: bacon grease. My roomate saves it so I started to and I like to fry things in it when there isn't any meat in the dish. Like beans, vegetables, and eggs (the best).
