I used to dislike blue cheese. Besides being gross, I thought it was simply illogical. Mold?! In food?! Just doesn't make sense. Admittedly, up until that point, I had never actually tasted a good blue cheese so my preconceived notions were based on the stuff that's pre-crumbled, packed in plastic containers, and on sale because it's about to expire.
Cornflake Crusted Chicken Nuggets
There's this food truck in Austin called The Mighty Cone that serves a tortilla in a paper cone filled with fried chicken strips and cole slaw. They fry everything in the same deliciously crispy breading made from what I think is corn flakes, sesame seeds, and almonds. They also have (or at least used to have) the most ah-mazing fried pickles ever because of it.
Couscous with Summer Squash & Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette
I hate raisins. I consider myself pretty open minded when it comes to food, but raisins...guh! They are the one thing that I absolutely refuse to eat. The only exception is pickled golden raisins, but that's because pickles are more awesome than raisins are terrible. The absolute worst is when people sneak raisins into carrot cake. WHYYYY? They don't belong.
Rhubarb Sorbet
It's almost Memorial Day, which means summer is about to get into full swing. Every summer I like to try my hand at making a few different sorbets and ice creams through the months. Some turn out amazing, like the peach ice cream I made last year, some turn out disgusting, like the cherry coconut milk ice cream I failed at making (blech!).
