NEW! [starburst!!]

here's my own personal WTF and/or WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? zone. It's not all heavy and serious... unlike the rest of my blog

besides... Random Thoughts was already taken.
Feel free to post or comment...

What IS Samuel thinking - please explain?

Plot Outline: On board a flight over the Pacific Ocean, an assassin, bent on killing a passenger who's a witness in protective custody, lets loose a crate full of deadly snakes.



"Snakes on a Plane is described by its director as a high concept thriller/horror film, starring Samuel L. Jackson..."

"Despite its status as an Internet phenomenon box office returns for the film in its opening weekend were described as "disappointing" by David Tuckerman..." from wikipedia of all places

huh? anyone SEEN this?
I'm also hanging out to know exactly what a 'high concept' horror flick is...

WhaT the hEck? ...is SlimCado?

PAPAYA AND SLIMCADO SALAD
This unusual tropical salad tastes as good as it looks. It makes a good first course arranged on lettuce leaves, or a good accompaniment to simple grilled chicken, beef, or lamb.

1 SlimCado, peeled, pitted and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 Caribbean Sunrise or 1/2 Caribbean Red papaya, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 ripe tomato, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 can (14 ounces) hearts of palm, drained, rinsed and cut on the diagonal into 1/2 inch pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
Lime vinaigrette (recipe follows)
1/4 cup julienne strips of chayote for garnish

Combine SlimCado, papaya, hearts of palm, and tomato in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with lime vinaigrette and toss gently. Refrigerate, covered, for 1 hour. Divide this mixture on salad plates. Garnish with chayote strips.
Serves 4.

Lime Vinaigrette


1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. Dijon-style mustard
3 tbsp. fresh lime juice
1-1/2 tbsp. Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
3/4 cup olive oil

Mix all ingredients together.

Well, apparently it's one of these...

...an avocado... which is great except this sounds rather like one that's been tampered (genetically modified?) with...

"All of Brooks avocados are hydro-cooled for longer shelf-life, excellent quality and exceptional taste. SlimCado Lite avocados have 50% less fat and 35% fewer calories than the leading California avocado."

...anyhoo... avocado 'fat' isn't the same kind of saturated fat as butter or coconut cream.
