Healthy lunch or ethnic atrocity?

[dreamshark]

I picked up a roll of polenta at Trader Joe's and fried some up for lunch. I wasn't sure what to do with it, so I tried a different topping on each piece.

1) olive tepanade (ground up olives, basically)
2) chunky salsa
3) hoisin sauce
4) thai curry paste

They were all good, but I think my favorite was the hoisin sauce with just a tiny dab of the hot curry paste. Mmmm.

I also had a couple of fresh kumquats, and fat-free yogurt with strawberry sauce. That seemed like a very healthy lunch to me. (I'm sort of trying to make up for yesterday, when I made the mistake of opening that package of baklava)

Mmm. Baklava.

I went to Trader Joe's just to check it out. Got some sushi and peaches. Cheaper than other places, but the sushi was awful (and you have to try to make sushi awful) and the fruit wasn't that fresh. Oh well.

Hoisin and curry sounds like an interesting taste (he says, mixing metaphors).

Fresh food is not their forte.
