International Cuisine?

It seems I have taken a "whole world" approach to my day. This morning my dietary journey began with 3 steaming cups of coffee in a mug identical to this one. (Chet - I will not apologize for my coffee vice!) Andy and I drink our own blend which consists of 1/2 Verona and 1/2 Starbuck's House Blend. It makes for a very nice, slightly bold flavor. I will most likely indulge in at least three more of these at some point today.


Then I was off to Panera to meet my friend. While there I thoroughly enjoyed an asiago cheese bagel which was toasted to perfection with plain cream cheese. With the bagel I indulged in a warm (styrofoam) cup of chai tea latte. Hm. Chai is turkish. If we latte it, does that make it French-Turkan? Bagels are French. Asiago cheese is either Italian or French. But what about cream cheese? It wasn't Philadelphia brand so... ??

Between breakfast and lunch I drank at least three glasses of water with lemon. Then...

Okay. I know it looks strange. You see, I had a leftover eggroll from my Chinese take-out lunch on Friday. I popped it in the microwave and then tossed it in just a mere drop of canola oil in a small frying pan. Then I remembered there was one..just one tortilla left from last night's fajitas. So, I took that, add some taco sauce and cheddar, folded, nuked, then allowed it to hit the frying pan for just an instant on each side. Voila! Cheese quesadilla! The beverage I had was decidedly American, no doubt there.

I have just eaten half dozen macadamia nuts. Hawaiian! Decidedly Polynesian before the good ole USA decided Hawaii should be a state...regardless of what Hawaii thought. Dinner will consist of grilled marinated chicken & stir fried veggies. Imagine...around the world in 18 hours!
