food in block letters on a white background

everyone has seen repo man, yes. If not, go see it now, and we'll all wait patiently until you can honestly say you have heard a stranger say "plate of shrimp".

we're waiting.

ok, now we are all on the same page. This post doesn't really have much to do with repo man, but you need to see it. Remember how all the food and drink is generic and labelled as "food" or "drink", if not go watch repo man, we'll wait some more.

Whenever the Fairy Queen is off on a Fair Queen adventure, I (Phrodaux), am left to my own devices as far as food and hygiene (actually, hygiene is mostly left up to me usually unless it is mostly "I have bathed, if the creek is clean enough for the trout, it is clean enough for my nether bits").

Food.

my default food of choice, when alone, is rice and beans. It is not like I cannot cook, I do cook, really, things with many, many ingredients, spices and food groups, and all. But I like rice and beans. Granted, my rice and beans has more than two ingredients, usually more like a dozen, and when I am feeling extra special fancy, a baker's dozen.

Rice. rinsed several times to get the powdery stuff off, it ends up not so sticky.
about a 1/2 cup, in the bottom of a sauce pan. Water enough to cover your hand if you put it flat on the rice (My friend Eddie taught me that, also he taught me it is acceptable to wear dress pants when going white water rafting, but that is another story). Usually I put in turmeric, as it is good for you (something about anti cancer or torus, but math is hard) and once I put in nutmeg (but that is another story)

Beans (usually kidney, but often black, because once you go... never mind)
peanut butter (just a bit, makes things better, everything better, EVERYTHING!)
walnuts (I have nothing funny to say about walnuts)
various chili powders (FQ will write about our "Magic powder" at some point I assume)
chipotle sauce (smoky spicy goodness in a phallic bottle)
anchovy paste (umami, just put in enough to brighten it up, trust me, I am Phrodaux, you trust me, I am much better than cats)
maybe a bit of rice vinegar that has had chiltepin pepper soaking in it since your friends from AZ gave you that plant that you brought on the airplane back to the great green north and you had to fertilize the flowers with a little paint brush, the whole time feeling a bit dirty... a dirty, dirty boy)

Did I mention that the Fairy Queen was off on an adventure?
