Chicken Pumpkin Pocket
07 Feb 2006Today it arrived! At long last, after trying to get it since Christmas, it finally arrived. I have my nice shiny new copy of Paper Wings by Cauterize. No longer will I have to undergo the torturne of the 128kbs encoding of the version I bought from iTunes.
Tonight when I get home it will be ripped in all of it's lossless audio glory and the songs will find their way back into heavy rotation on my playlists.
I had tried to get it at the music stores around Montreal. I had tried to buy it from eBay. I had tried to buy it from the sites their website said it was available from. I got very close a little over a month ago when it was available on a website, but by the time I got the cart checkout it was sold out. Then on a lark I was checking the same site from work a week ago and it was listed. So I hurried the hell up and ordered it.
I've been doing this whole thing recently where I take risks. Like recently when I tried an El Salvadorian restaurant and found that I really enjoyed Papusas and Plaintains aren't bad either.
Today I tried a Guayanese(sp?) restaurant. I ended up with a “chicken pumpkin pocket”. There was also a “goat pumpkin pocket” available, but hey, one risk at a time :p Overall it was pretty good. Inoffensive. It was exceptionally filling. I swear that there was a whole chicken and half a pumpkin stuffed in that pocket along with some other vegetables.
When a friend suggested the restaurant I was imagining a much smaller “pocket” in my mind. This thing was about 8 inches by 10 inches and 1.5-2 inches thick. I didn't manage to eat it all before it was time to get back to work.
Will I go back? It's uncertain at this point. I think knowing what to expect going into it I would consider it to be a really good meal. I had had my heart set on two eggs over easy, three strips of bacon, two slices of toast with strawberry jam, some pan fries, a coffe and an orange juice for lunch though. So my taste buds didn't exactly get what they had been anticipating.
Now, I just want to go home and smite me some trolls!
