I am a man of simple tastes when it comes to food, for the most part. I’m willing to try most things at least once, but I know when I like something and I know when I don’t. At least most of the time. Chinese food is the most glaring exception (what was I thinking?)

That’s why I was pleasantly surprised when I tried a Boca Burger for the first time. For those who don’t know, a Boca Burger is a vegetarian burger. Now, before you gag, I’ll come right out and say that it tastes more like real meat than I would have expected. Much more, in fact. I usually give my burgers the A.1. treatment anyway, which takes out any remaining non-meat taste. I especially like the fact that on the whole, they’ve got about 20 less grams of fat per burger and just about as much protein. Brandon likee. Now, this doesn’t mean that I won’t enjoy a real-meat burger every now and then too. 🙂 But it’s nice to have alternatives.

Also, I have actually cooked with a spice now (well, other than making cinnamon toast). Specifically, garlic & herb seasoning. I really like baked chicken, but I was tired of doing it plain, so I decided to try adding spices to it. I bought two kinds – the aforementioned garlic & herb, and rotisserie seasoning. Man, those things are expensive! Five bucks for two bottles! At least they’ll last me for forever, practically.
