Big lunch today, so dinner was just some guacamole and chips from the corner carniceria. Forgot the religious candles, though....
If I walked into a noodle shop and they didn't have a bottle of this on every table, I.... I...., well I don't know what I'd do, but I would find another restaurant, that's for sure. Many taquerias and a few diners will keep this on hand, too. Yummmmmmm.
NYT article here.
Reminds me of the iron screw-mechanism Buk was subjected to in All the Assholes in the World and Mine. What eat that crap? Just coat a nail in sufuric acid and hammer it up there. ;)

Wait a minute - how did we go from garlic and chili peppers to chemically-altered tools of carpentry and adult film adaptations...
Or am I seeing the future Olympic torch of 2012 ?
Haha... to each his own I guess. Chili peppers are great, but I always keep milk on hand.
Only recipe for heartburn and tongue burn. Aside from painkillers.
That fucking rooster just brings it - You know ?

You can put your hot cock sauce on anything of mine, big boy.:)

I'm going to put some St. Louis style ribs into a marinade of apple cider for 1/2 a day and then a good dry BBQ rub and then 3 hours of indirect grilling with a apple cider spray every twenty minutes. Then any old BBQ sauce-Sweet Baby Ray's. I better make some Cole Slaw.
Tonight is leftover pork tenderloin stuffed with spinach and five cheeses, Italian egg pasta with butter, garlic, herbs and parmesano, and green beans with a splash of balsamic vinegar. I made it last night, but stuff like that is always better the second day.

Three poached eggs, some Ore-Ida french fries baked in the oven, and a side of whole wheat toast.

Don't worry Justine, I'm less talented than you. I can cook omelettes and pasta. That's all. And I don't give a damn.
Fortunately, crisps and chocolate don't have to be cooked :)

Yes ;) But on the crisp bag, "Marmite" is a word referring to that :

I will have some pasta with self made tomato sauce and parmesan cheese tonight. Plus a bottle of redwine, not only a glass. ;)
They're called Berliner Würstchen - Berlin sausages. In a bakery a Berliner is yeast-risen pastry filled with either cherry or apricot marmalade. It has the size of an orange and is strewed with powdered sugar. I like them warm better than cold. Paradoxically we have another yeast-risen pastry with sugar coating that looks a bit like a flying saucer and is called Amerikaner.

Biked 25 miles this afternoon and decided against cooking anything.
Picked up 2 Filet-o-Fish sandwiches from McSatan's Golden Arches To Hell. No fries, no soda pop, just water to drink.
I could sell my soul for those sandwiches.
Maybe I already did......Mwaaaha-ha-ha-ha.....

Fish tacos with Orange Roughy.
I drank a Dr Pepper.

The Filet-o-Fish holds a strange place in the American lexicon. It is by far the least popular McDonalds food (other than salad, of course), as far as I can tell, but by far the best (best being a very relative term here) in terms of, well, non-crapiness. I gave up this despicable, god-awful place about 4-5 years ago, but every now and again, I get a hankerin' for a FOF.
And hah! Soda-pop. You must live in the midwest: http://popvssoda.com:2998/countystats/total-county.html
Even better yet it's a pastry! I'm not kidding when I say I think you Germans know how to live. And don't forget where Buk was born!

Right you are. In Chicago, the term is simply "pop". But I grew up downstate where the term is either "soda" or "soda-pop".

Warning ! Warning ! Warning !
Last night, I was forming patties out of 1 lb. of ground beef for grilling at my brother's house and felt something weird. It was a shard of plastic, approx. 1-1/2" long and 1/2" wide. If this thing were made of glass, I would have definitely cut myself. My brother wrapped up the evidence and returned it with the receipt to the store. The manager was very apologetic and made all kinds of offers, but he just asked for a refund and played it very silent and angry. The manager now probably thinks he will be sued (though he won't). My brother is a cruel genius in that way.
So be careful. Even the so-called "upscale" grocers will fuck up now and then. And this was a nationally known grocer with a good reputation. Watch out.

I had lunch with my wife and some friends several years ago at a Wolfgang Puck's restaurant on Montana Ave. in Santa Monica (a very wealthy part of town) and one of the people we were with ordered a salad. I happened to notice after her salad came that there was an unused big copper staple (the kind that they use for stapling cartons shut) sitting right on the top. We told the waiter, showed him the staple, and he seemed totally disinterested. Didn't apologize, didn't offer to take the salad back, didn't even offer her a free desert. I was telling her to make a stink about it, just on principle, but she chose not to. I understand that things like this happen and it was probably not really anyone's fault, but no apology?
Well, it was indeed someone's fault, as iron should be gotten from spinach or beef, methinks. Staples are aluminium, I know. I get where you're coming from, but a free something should have been offered, along with an apology from so-called management.
Mangement was probably out back blowin' a doob or something otherwise unrelated to making their establishment something other than a glorified crack-house that serves, for lack of a better term, food. I would have gotten up out of my chair, in dramatic fashion, and ripped them a new asshole. That's why none of you want to hang out with me!
And Wolfgang Puck's? That should be close to top end. Maybe you went to Don Rickles' Hockey Puck's?

Carol bit into one of those staples that was baked into a hamburger bun down in San Pedro. The people running the cafe were defensive, but I think that comes from years of people claiming to find shit in their food that they actually brought through the door in their pocket, trying to chisel a free meal, or worse, a little lawsuit for "damages" and "mental anguish."
Anyway, that was shortly after we moved down there, and we just voted with our feet, as the kids say, and stopped going there (BEACH CITY GRILL).
Yes, I was pissed that some cockface had baked a staple into my girl's bun, so to speak, but honestly, my philosophy is if you don't want staples or dirt or bugs or tampon strings in your food, eat at home. Swallowing weird shit is just part of eating out, and most of the time it's just going to slide down unnoticed anyway.
Bon apetit!
I don't care for eating out at all for the reason above but
the other day black swan and I went out
for dinner and we had something like this:

The food was good but to me "the being together"
feeling with food and wine was way more important.

If not a weight watcher, what are you ? I say that because even me who is a girl and who is said not to eat enough, couldn't content myself with a mere salad !
Yes ! Or bring your own food outside. That's what I do everyday where I work, tupperwares are my best friends, there's a fridge and a microwave, perfect ! I'm very suspicious about outer food, and that's usually not as tasty as a homemade meal. The rare times I have to buy something (because I'm too tired/lazy to prepare something in the evening, even a mere sandwich, shame on me), I often find it disgusting and sometimes feel sick. With friends, I try to avoid eating in restaurants, which is quite easy in so far as we generally reunite in one's flat and each brings something to eat and to drink. The only thing I love doing outside is drinking in bars ! That's anyway the only place where I can drink alcohol !
