A little while back I met a crazy woman, most of you already know her, but for those of you who don’t, she goes by the name of Mental Mama, and is the brains behind Mental in the Midwest, a rather amusing blog that would be a great addition to your reader.
Anyways, she was starting this project for July called 7 weeks of weird and I, thinking that it would be a great idea, said I’d be as a game as a badger for that particular challenge. I commented, she commented, I commented some more and so did she. Copious amount of following ensued and we’ve been blog buddies ever since.
The truth is, I then forgot all about the challenge until she posted a reminder on her blog. I then forgot about it all over again, because lets face it, the inside of my head is a minefield at present and could go off at any time. Thankfully, Not a Punk Rocker has a better memory and reminded me with her post today.
If you would like to check out and join in with the 7 weeks of weird, then click on the picture to be taken to the information page :)
Weirdest food/food combination you like that everyone else thinks is nasty
Everyone loves beans right, and by that I mean those of the baked bean variety. Little orange coloured nuggets, draped in a tomatoey sauce, that provide a source of both fibre and fart power. What’s not to love.
Beans are great when teamed with bread, or better still toast. However when I started to add cheese into the mix way back when, the folks in work were horrified. They thought it was a weird combination. I personally thought it was bloody great and ate it at every opportunity.
Fast forward 5 years and cheesy beans is now a favourite of many people. In fact you can even get them in a tin.
The second weird combination that had everyone in a dither was boiled rice and cauliflower cheese. You see, when you say it together like that, it really doesn’t make any sense at all, but for some strange reason it tickled my tastebuds, the bland taste of the rice being lifted by the slight tang of the cheese. I actually haven’t had that in a while and I’m not even sure I would like it anymore myself, so there is only one way to find out.
Looks like tomorrow nights tea is sorted. Give it a go, you know you want to!

Cauliflower cheese? Like, cheese and cauliflower, or something else?
The grocery store beside our house has a section (half an aisle, if that) for “European Food”. I wonder if they have those beans there and if I can convince Matt to try them? :-)

And to the Heinz beans with cheddar – we don’t have that in Canada, that I have seen. They sell the traditional British Heinz beans at the UK shops for $8 a can. You can of course get the Canadian Heinz beans in either tomato sauce and maple hickory or some such. The cans aren’t as big either.

Holy moley $8 is a lot of money. They are about 70p here lol
