Foreign Food FTW.....


Well, I recently decided to use my photoshop skills to turn myself into an Avatar after having watched the movie last week. So i felt like showing off the finished product. Then i thought of a way to tie in the picture with foodways and my view of food. It's a bit out there, but here it goes: I love foreign food, whether it be Mexican, Chinese, Italian, etc. etc. So for my ridiculous analogy......I like foreign food and look like a foreign alien in this picture. HA HA HA, right?
Ok so much for a career in comedy............But seriously, I don't know what life would be like if all I could eat was American food. It would be so boring and uninteresting!

Blog #3


For the 11 or so years that I lived in Camden, ME, there was one special dish that I never was brave enough to eat, or maybe it's just that I'm not a real big fish eater, but either way the biggest food specialty in alot of areas in New England is lobster, those red crustaceans that at first glance don't exactly look like a delicious meal. Lobster was the staple dish that about every "Mainer" ate for special occasions, whether it was a family dinner, a date, etc. etc. Lobster fishing as a whole was HUGE in Maine, as I knew at least a dozen or so families who had a fishing boat of their own.
One of these days, I'll have to actually try it, and if any of you ever visit any of the upper New England states, you have to have lobster just once.
