Are you threatening me?

i don't trust people without ADD. you didn't find dexedrine/adderall helped sit in class/work when you just wanted to play with shiny-silver things? it's still hilarious to me that amphetamines serve to make me less-prone to walking around totally-zoned out and actually calm me down.one of my friends in college and i never remembeed our afternoon dose(pre dex SR/addy XR) and we were exempt from paying attention to coaches trying to explain stuff while we'd be like chasing butterflies into traffic on soldier's field road or just shitbeating each other in some 600-yard one-on-one deal.

Today, I wandered outside and ended up at the Athena Greek Taverna, again. They have a pretty new blonde waitress working there.

I ordered the Chicken Monterrey Sandwich special. This is a grilled chicken breast topped with some kind of white cheese, lettuce, tomato, and of course, bacon. I asked if mayonnaise was served on this sandwich and the waitress ASSURED me that it did not come served with Mayo. I swear there was a dollop of mayo on one half of the sandwich. Is my mind playing tricks on me?

Accompanying this delicious sandwich were some ridged potato chips, a small cup of chicken dumpling soup, a dill pickle slice and a bowl of fruit (sliced strawberries, seedless red grapes, chunked pineapple, honey dew melon and canteloupe) for dessert. I couldn't ask for a better midday value downtown.

So, come on people, let's make LUNCH one of the 3 most important meals of the day again. Au revoir.

Spanish Food - Carne Guisado w/Rice & Gandules.
That is Beef Stew with chunks of Beef, Carrots, Green Olives and Potatoes w/Yellow Rice and Pigeon Peas. Quite delish. Yummy.

Today I had eggs, sausage, pancakes and has browns for lunch because I woke up at noon today. Guess technically it isn't lunch cause it was my first meal of the day.

Had an awesome BLT on toasted wheat with tomato cucumber salad and potato salad. Washed it down with sweet iced tea. I have to change my ways but today it didn't happen.

I invited a travel agent friend I know to Tommy Bahama Cafe at Kierland Commons. I had fish tacos which were great, my guest Carol has some sort of blackened shrimp which is evidently quite spicy. Ever since I called her and said I was interested in renting an apartment in Florence for a week, she's smelled blood and calls me every other day, starting out with the obligatory, "You're not gonna believe this...." I don't have the heart to tell her I've settled on Cabo San Lucas instead, which cuts her commission by like 70%...so I string her along.

Today I had an inspirational LUNCH. I'm not sure whether any of you have experienced such a meal- but assuming you haven't, allow me to document mine.

I went my friend Arno's house today before lunch. Me and Arno are going to be working together soon on a series in the near future so we had lots to talk about and prepare for. We were so engaged in our discussions and arguments that we completely missed Arno's housemaid announce the lunch.

At about 2pm when our stomachs began to rumble, we followed (or atleast I followed) a very unique aroma into the kitchen.
For LUNCH was Pollo a la portuguesa de Carmen (as Arno called it) which is 1/4 of chicken (white meat) in a mild fresh tomato-yellow-pepper-onion-sauce served atop mashed potatoes. There was also Pescado ah la Romana which is Filet of sole, in a milanesa style butter, using flour instead of bread crumbs, drizzled with lemon and served with Argentine golf sauce. Eating this food I felt produced an exquisite flush that made me silently scream with delight. It's very unsual for me to feel this way. The last time it happened I was eating sushi.

I promised Arno to go see him again tomorrow, perhaps for another luncheon. It baffles me- but I currently have a strange antique smile that doesn't betray my feelings for lunch which was, to put it mildly, obscenely good today.

Today it was Sanese again: Chip-Chopped HAM AND Cheeese SAndwich aLONg with a v-8 veGETAbLe dRiNK. I enjoyed IN a COIRneR and criEd. For REAl. In MY WAREHoUSE.

When I read all your lunch musings, I feel lIKE the gUY that kiLled Robin Williamsd' wiufe in 'THAT FISCHER KiNG' . You are all unredeemnAble scUm.

What kind of products flow in and out of this " warehouse " ?

Yesterday I had a really strange day and I'm really not going to go through it because it's a little complex- however, my point is that I got caught up with something and missed lunch which really ticked me off.

Today I had 12 buffalo wings dipped in barbeque saunce with an extra side dressing of ranch. DAMN that was good; my fingers still smell like bbq wings.

Tonight I have to make copies of a dvd so that I can send them to a Producer in Japan on Thursday. I sometimes suspect this guy of being a fraud because he looks like he'd be a hitman for the Yakuza and he talks a lot of smack like a pornographer (just kidding). Anyhoo- since I'm going to be so busy I might just order some pizza or something junkie like that to help pass the time.
So- what'd you eat today?

I went to one of my favorite bbq houses and had smoked chicken salad. This is chicken salad like tuna salad- not like a "grilled chicken salad". I had a side of baked beans to which they add sausage. The chicken salad comes on a bed of lettuce with a slice of tomato on the side.

Sweet iced tea & two slices of lemon.

mMmmmmm pretzel sticks... my favorite part is the saliness. Reminds me of the loads of cum I'd get in porno.

Today I went to El Amigo in Redondo Beach. I had the chicken quesadilla, which was good and a cobb salad. To drink, cranberry juice.

Yesterday was Aloha Grill. I had the BBQ chicken, rice and macaroni salad. The chicken was ok. The salad was awesome thou. I'll give it another chance. Maybe I'll try the fish.

Here on my last day in Minneapolis, I went to Capital Grille and had the filet mignon as rare as possible with a side of creamed spinach. The professional and courteous wait staff thought it was a bit odd when I requested for bread not to be brought to the table, but I'm super sweet and tip well in restaurants to make up for my eating eccentricities. Capital Grille was recommended to me by some nice locals when I asked for a fairly upscale steakhouse that's not a chain. People really dress up here at nice establishments unlike LA where you can dine in a dirty hooded sweatshirt as long as you have money. I felt that I stuck out a bit eating by myself in True Religion jeans and a cashmere sweater, surfing the web on my Sidekick in between small bites. Wonderful is all I have to say about this place.

Has this changed since I last read it? Didn't you remark the fact you were eating alone make you conspicuous in an earlier incarnation of this posting, or did was it all in my head as I'm told so much else is these days?

I had the "Sweet Sausage" sandwich on a bagel with cold brocolli and pasta salad at a trendy new restaraunt called "North" in Scottsdale. It was good, and didn't give me heartburn. The female staff looked amazing.

I just got back home. I'm so ready for tomorrow- am going German. You know what that means? Hell if you don't, hell if you do. I doing it.

Loop, does that mean you're going to The Matterhorn?

Yesterday I decided that I would write Chloroman an e-mail and see if would be interested in meeting me for lunch. To my delight he agree and in fact he lives in Reseda, not far from me, so we met up a California Pizza Kitchen in Tarzana.

It took me a a while to find my car keys, I am always misplacing them, so by the time I arrived Chloroman had already been seated. He had taken the liberty of ordering us the California Shrimp Cocktail, which I must say was an excellent choice. It featured shrimp and avocado tossed in an excellent cocktail sauce. He commented that it was a new addition to the CPK menu and we both agreed that we hope they decide to make it a permanently avalable selection.

While we ate our shrimp cocktail we chatted about work and such. He told me things are going well at his job and that he recieved an excellent quarterly evaluation and expects to be promoted soon. I was happy for him.

I was impressed by the quick service at CPK as only about 10 mintues or so after we ordered, our entrees arrived at the table. In the mood for something spicy, I decided I would give the Jambalaya a try. It's nice to know you can still enjoy the cajun tastes of New Orleans even though the city was washed off the map by the hand of God. It was excellent and I must say the Sausage and Chicken were particularly juicy and succulent.

Chloroman had the Thai Chicken Pizza. He says that he often enjoys "Fusion" cuisine as he likes to experience the way flavors from different cultures combine in oftentimes unexpected ways. In this particular case he loved the interaction between the cilantro and the spicy peanaut-ginger sauce. I must say I envied his choice.

All being said, it was a quite enjoyable lunch and I enjoyed meeting up with Chloroman for a nice wholesome dining experience. At the end we bid eachother farewell and agreed to meet up for lunch again soon. Both Chili's and Islands were mentioned as possible venues, but we'll have to see what happens.

Tony Malice the food critic... How many stars did you give them

Yesterday I had a pretty interesting lunch. My day had started pretty late because I slept nearly all afternoon after switching my phone off so nobody would disturb me. I had gone to bed pretty late the previous night so I felt inclined to sleep as much as I wanted on Sunday. My girlfriend however decided at about 3pm that she wanted to eat something Mexican. Ah- fuck, I hate Mexican food, but I wasn't tripping- I decided I'd get something small and probably order a huge Margarita which would sober me up (yup- I was still drunk).

So we ended up at Chevy's about an hour later. I used to go to Chevy's a while back and meet up with friends and we'd talk about projects and stuff like that. It's strange but I never really took into account how good their food actually is until yesterday. It took me a while to decide what I wanted- so we started by ordering some Margaritas. My girlfriend got the Strawberry, peach froozen Margarita while I settled for an original Margarita mixed with Jose Cuervo Gold- froozen. They brough us the customery chips which were served with a side of some grayish garlic stuff which was out of this world.

After taking quite a bit of time, I finally concluded what I wanted to eat. I went for the Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas which is a succulent blue crab and tender shrimp sauteed in white wine and garlic folded into corn tortillas with crunchy veggies and Jack cheese. We add a topper of spicy habanero-pesto cream sauce. The taste was very wholesome and it truely enveloped my mouth with a distinct foreign tingling taste. My girlfriend had a classic Fresh Mex Combo of Crispy Flautas, Salsa Chicken with roasted red peppers, grilled corn and a melted trio of cheeses, rolled in flour tortillas, lightly crisped with chipotle aioli drizzle. Served with mango-habanero salsa and homemade jalapeøo jelly. Her Margarita tasted better than mine- but I really enjoyed mine too. I kinda wish I ordered hers instead. And for $5.25 I thought they were a steal. I should've ordered another one. Anyhoo- LUNCH was fantastic. Today I have a meeting and might have a late lunch- but I'm thinking seafood or something German.

Malice I see you've been taking LUNCH a bit more serious too.

I wish you could get cherry pies at Australian McDonalds. And we don't get nuts on our sundaes either

How does White castle compare with McDonalds? White Castle is a weird name for a fast food place. We don't have them in Australia

Living on my own I don't tend to eat meals I just eat whenever I am hungry which is most of the time. I eat a lot of fruit and yoghurt, cereal and tv dinners. This means I have less washing up to do! I always aim to be more adventurous with food but I seem to find myself returning from the supermarket with the same stuff every day!

hey ben: does the name Nicolle Dickson aka Bobby Simpson ring a bell? I hear she is quite fond of Oranges as I am too. She was quite a nutter back in the day wouldn't you say? And she gave Fisher a hard time. I thought she had/has major stroke-value.

Grilled cheese w/Virginia Ham.

Yesterday, Diamond Dog and Nacho's at Chase Field. The D-Backs lost.

I had me some asapragus and shitake mushroom salad.

Served with a Pomegranate Vinaigrette (high antioxidant). I made the pomegranate vinaigrette with pomegranate molasses and balsamic vinegar, some olive oil, black pepper, red and yellow bell pepper, minced garlic steamed shitake mushrooms and asparagus, roma tomatoes, fresh basil and buffalo cheese jizz, oh and cucumber lightly salted.

YUM

Lately I have considered the fact that my meals have been a little unhealthy. Not that I am a health nut, actually I'm quite the unconscious meal critic- to me good food is good food, but I like to think atleast I'm eating something good. It doesn't help matters when I go back home and all my friends are looking sharp and trim and I can hardly keep up as they they go bar hopping. Eating unhealthy can be suicide.

With this in mind I decided to have a late lunch at a seafood place my girlfriend's pals frequent a lot (i.e. lots of chicks hang out at this place). I had just got done with a meeting where someone had commented very negatively to something I had suggested, and even though these comments hadn't vexed me, I still felt I deserved the consolation of female induced eye-candy.

I ordered a shrimp salad which came with thiny sliced cerely and finely minced onions, salt and peppered to perfection, and evenly sprinkled with romaine lettuce.
The waitress serving there was a fscking looker with a perfectly rounded rear and nice plump bosom which made me suspect that the women who frequent this picturesque establishment could be borderline lesbos. She made a comment to me when I ordered a passion juice to wash down the meal to which I gave her a witty comment back- but as I was just getting to enjoy this carnal exchange of words the missus called. Well, atleast now I know where the babes hang out. Might stop by there tomorrow, only this time, am putting some alcohol into my system. Stay tuned folks!

I was busy all day and the only place I could find was Taco Bell, I got a quesadilla,and a few beef/potato burritos. The quesadilla isnt as great as Del Taco, but the potato burritos are addicting. Those things were great.

WHOA- yesterday I was so busy I hardly got time to eat LUNCH. I hang out with my good pal catnap whose a real trip. We had a lot to talk about but one of the main subjects highlighted in our conversation was how long it takes to get things done these days. I mean honestly, just going downtown takes atleast an hour and a half and maybe all you need to do takes 15minutes. Then coming back takes about 2 hours. Thats almost a three hour commute just to do 15 minutes worth of work. And the best part is how unconscious we are to this... how we have accepted these conditions to continue.

Today I called catnap from work because I the topic was still on my mind. There was a brazilian girl who came to audition and I swear she is a dyke; the butch kind. She also told us this story about how she predicts the future to be people living on a tiny island somewhere in Eastern Europe. Doesn't sound much different from today I thought to myself.

Getting home was a real fscking pain coz traffic was jammed up the ass, and it didn't help matters that LUNCH wasn't as great as it could've been. Not to worry, my normal schedule of feasting like I'm at an English tea-party is about to come yet again.

House soup stoke doesn't do it for moi nowdays. Yesterday some lady gave me a drink made out of grass. She said it's supposed to be real healthy and Jamba Juice is going to start selling it soon. Today my girlfriend baked cookies.

wheeeeeeee

today i was craving something sweet. which is odd because normally i dont like sweet foods. So i stopped into the doughnut shop by the office and bought a cinnamon roll from the little pacific islander man working behind the counter.




it was SO god damned good.

I was really hungry today. I spent the morning in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, which always delights me to no end. Some hvac contractor 7'ed on his bank. His lender told him he wasn't going to bother showing up at the creditor's meeting, which I think lulled the guy into a false Spallone-esque sense of ease, because when I stood up and told the judge who I represented, it was "dead man walking" for the next two hours.

So after making this guy feel about 2 feet tall, and with the strains of "I'm An Asshole" gleefully flowing through my head, I wandered over to The Downtown Deli. Had a muffaletta (with green olives) and tea. The waitress told me there was wireless access, so I broke out the PC and chatted with Bornyo for a while, then went home to make sure the dog hadn't peed on the carpet again.


...I drive real slow, in the ultra-fast lane,
while ultra-fast drivers are going insane...

Today is my girl's birthday so LUNCH is no ordinary dozer. She arrived home early this morning from her friend Lunarr's house (about 3am) and I surprised her at the door. She almost dropped dead. Anyway- first I read her a bedtime story then today morning I woke her up early cause we were going to a mutal friends place- kU.

kU is a really good chief, more so than myself and he takes pride with cutting stuff up. kU had a theme thing setup at his digs and she totally sucked it up (my gf). Mostly the food was made up of seafood but there was also kibbeh (which is a Lebanese paste of the freshest lamb and burgul wheat), lulas recheadas à lisbonense and a highly aromatic peri-peri chicken.

Right now am already drunk and the ol' lady is having fun outside with her pals and getting cals from friends. Oh- and Duck Down came to the party too. I noticed he was looking at my girl kinda strangely and making odd comments.

Tonight we're going out for drinks with light company. If you're going out too- chances are we will bump into one another. Be sure to remind me your name on the board coz I will be drinking.

Wow Loop that read like a David Lynch screenplay. Strange but also interesting in many ways. Don't take any shit from that guy eyeing your lady.

I got this for my gf. She was so happy she called her dad up and said "my boyfriend got me a pregnant dollie"

You can remove the baby and play with it. When we were playing with it, I made the grunts and my girlfriend went "waaaa waaaa" to simulate the baby. Everyone thought we put on a really good show- especially when the baby was being breast fed. I will let you guess who did what sounds.

thats creepy

I had 2 hotdogs for lunch- one with mustard and one with ketchup

Seriously, I had a bag of ocelots noses.
