Seasonal

Pumpkin tea and tropical xylitol gum. The combination is like a weird sugarfree dessert.

Pomegranate and rather crispy brussel sprouts. Does this excite us?



Out-of-season

This is not the season for it, but for some reason I've been thinking about this cool custom I learned about earlier this year. Maybe the reason I was thinking about the cascarones is because of a weird dream I had. There's been some issues with acquiring a new roommate and the empty room takes it's financial toll...well, in the dream, the empty room was not an issue, and I was talking to b.f. about being excited that a baby was coming (not referring to a baby I was having or anything) and then it was like, oh gosh...taking care of a baby is a lot of work....this is possibly because a cousin of his going to have a baby soon. I saw him at Easter. The cousin was saying that he and his girlfriend went to the N.G./AFP Halloween show last year because she's a big fan...he wants to write about music...I got a picture of him getting an egg cracked over his head...they are both about 19 or 20 or so...I didn't think of it before, but it kind of makes you wonder, where do some of those Easter traditions came from?

Nevermore

I went by this scarecrow contest last weekend and thought "Nevermore...could that be a reference to...?" 

As if the universe wanted to deliver some kind of spooky answer, a girl with a soccer shirt that said "Palmer" on the back floated by at that exact moment...Just kidding, she walked the ground like a mortal being. Should have snapped a picture of that as well...

V: So how does this strike you?
     Dear penis-centric society, why don't you go fellate yourself...
P: I don't think that would go over too well.
V: Really? How come?
P: Because it's impossible.
V: Are you sure?
P: Yes. There has already been a movie made about this topic. It's called Clerks.

A lot of people are tired I think

“I’m tired of Linda McMahon telling us she’s pro-choice and then tell us that she’ll vote against every pro-choice measure which will come before the Senate,” Murphy said. “You’re not just pro-choice because you use the word.”

This is coming from a doctor whose employer probably charges $10.00 for a tylenol? perhaps this doctor is a bit detached from the real world, and should practice in a society cosmetic office, considering the level of empathy he has for his patients. Notice he did not mention a thing about donating any of his $150,000.00 annual paycheck(average) to nutrition education in poorer areas, he just whined about it. What an ass.
gold teefs in the ghetto-40.00
small jankitty tatoo in the getto- 25.00 x 7
urban fashions at crappy retailer- 40.00
cell phone-150.00
dope ass jordans at crappy retailer-90.00
altogether less than this doctor makes in two days as an er physician….that’s whats wrong with health care
if they weren’t in it for the money, doctors who actually cared about patients would be practicing medicine.

Books dipped into yesterday evening

Random Family - the characters are definitely interesting
The Emperor's Children - the characters are disappointingly boring

Random Family got some good reviews. So did The Emperor's Children, but I just cannot get into the latter. I have been known to savor some "boring" ("Jamesian") books, but it is not the one for me right now.
Maybe some other time.

It's not too early to plan for Thanksgiving...

With a handy copy of Modern French Culinary Art. 

Page 435 is not some kind of dessert in a puff pastry.

It is Vol-Au-Vent of Fillets of Sole.

Is page 623 a model of a hot air balloon that has crash landed atop a tray of pink cold cuts? 

Not quite. It is Ham glazed with Aspic. 

Aspic, aspic, aspic, where have you been all my life?

Mysterious elk shaped lines! In Russia

"Women don't take forever to pee. It's other chicks who make us wait. We have absolutely no idea what we're doing in there, and we look at one another in the bathroom line like, What the hell? Then, to keep ourselves occupied, we play with one another's boobs." -- Faith Salie in Esquire

Random memory: Being 10 or 12 years old on an airplane and feeling really, really tempted to ask the male flight attendant for a copy of Esquire.
