Just watched a man eat a Guinea Pig

We're watching Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel. It's a very interesting show. Andrew, the host, is visiting Ecuador, where apparently guinea pigs are a delicacy. At the place he visited, he actually got to pick out which of the furry little buggers he wanted to eat, just like you'd pick out your lobster at a nice seafood place. He said it was delicious, but I don't think I could bring myself to eat something that looks like a giant roasted rat, plus is still looking at me. But I must remember that while guinea pig looks disgusting to me, there are Hindus and Buddhists who would look on all the cow I eat with the same level of distate. To each his own. And what I really like about this show is the host adopts an attitude of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" He tries all the local food, from the local gourmet, to the local street food. He's now going through the jungle with some locals and preparing to lunch on some coconut grubs.

I'm off Monday and Tuesday this week because I have to work Saturday and Sunday both next weekend since the girl who works opposite me is going out of town. So next week I only get Monday off, which Jeff has to work. I am not too happy about this.

Anway, The Riches is starting on FX in about 60 seconds, so later!

Merry Part and Blessed Be!
