From time to time I will try post some of the funnier or more ridiculous spam items that either get left on Catavino as comments or in my inbox. This one is great. It was a comment on this post: Suck it Up and do What the Portuguese do, Eat Caracois! I wonder if this person read the post? I also wonder how many Chinese snails get imported to Portuguese restaurants? or at all? Enjoy the spam!

Last night we had some friends over for my birthday. To start out we decided to try some Flavor Tripping, a fad going on around the culinary world right now. If you haven’t heard of it read this. I’ll be doing a full post on Catavino but for now I just want to say the tomatos tasted best, in my opinion. If you don’t know what this is check it out, it’s cheap and lot’s of fun. The basic idea is that a “miracle fruit” when allowed to disolve on your tongue, flavors that were sour are now sweet and bitter is not as obvious. Needless to say it’s a “trip”. Afterwards we grilled a bone in Pork loin and a Bone in Beef loin. Damn I love grilling food. Happy friggin birthday to me!

It’s hard at times being so far from home. Thankfully my family is pretty plugged in. Though I do feel like tech-support at times, I do appreciate the fact my parents are in tune with Skype, and email. They even read our blogs on a regular schedule. Love you both!
