I had lunch with Stunt Rock, today at the Cafe at the Plaza downtown.
He ordered the cafe burger (something i would normally order, if I hadn't been polite and let him order first). This comes with lettuce, tomato, three tyypes of cheese...American, Cheddar, and swiss, along with 2 thick slices of American bacon. This also comes with a dill pickle spear, celery stalk, cucumber slice and a choice of frenched fried potatoes, slaw that has been coled, or chipped potatoes. Mr. Rock opted for the frenched fried potatoes (les pommes frites for you quebecians and montretards out there, this being a canuck based internet webstation base). Mr. Rock asked if he could have cheese on his hamburger whereupon I pointed out that there were 3 slices of cheese served on the cafe burger. How embarassing.
I decided to try the breakfast burrito which is a fine mixture of eggs, cheese, onions, mushrooms, peppers and bacon wrapped into a large tortilla. The waitress also brings a fresh salsa and a cup of soured cream in separate containers. On the side, I opted for the cafe potatoes, which are really delicious potatoes, generously spiced and blended with onions and green peppers.
A few minutes after we ordered, the waitress came back to the table and informed Mr. Rock that they had just run out of Frenched Fries and would he mind chipped potatoes instead? Unfortunately, I didn't speak up and ask if he could substitute cafe potatoes for the frenched fries or the chipped potatoes.
Then, we talked about Franjo's girlfriend, the fall television season, and various other "scene" related topics.
Lunch is one of my three favorite meals of the day! So what did you have for lunch today?
I like El Pollo Loco's Mexican Caesar Salad, myself. Their quesadillas are somewhat weak, kind of like the ones I use to get at Del Taco. They taste just like the ones I made using the microwave and grated cheese as a kid.
Today, I went to Dino's Greek Taverna around the corner. I ordered the shrimp scampi special that included diced peppers and enough garlic to breathe fire breath all afternoon. A cup of new england styled clam chowder is included.
The overly made-up big-haired greek lady with the tantalizing middle aged breastesses served me. She was quite brief in dealing with me, so I only tipped 15%.
Chicken curry with brown rice and an orange. Plus some guy who looked like Luke Ford was at the table in front of me, which neither added or detracted from the experience.
Today, I was supposed to dine with the local Dance Safe representative. Unfortunately, it appears that she forgot about our plans and never called this morning. I'm surprisingly not as depressed as I thought I would have been, considering she's quite the spicy meatball and I'd like to get to know her on more of a social level. I was looking forward to discussing moderation, the benefits of breaking frequently, and maintaining a well-hydrated lifestyle. I imagine there was some pressing concern, or possibly a pill-testing emergency that will explain her absence and inability to phone in a cancellation.
Regardless, you people want to know about lunch.
Today, I went to the Bagel Nosh on Wilshire and ordered the Albuquerque Turkey. It includes turkey, lettuce, tomatoe, pepperjack cheese (which the rookie sandwich jockey omitted), purple onion, and three slices of turkey bacon on a challah roll. This is also served with a handful of potato chips (I like when the chips are served by an individual with large hands. I get more chips that way) and a kosher dill pickle. I already had a spearmint to combat the breath. What did you have?
When I was in NYC, the crew from Tuna Can really treats you like family. We had authentic Italian food almost every meal except for the awesome White Castle trip by request from Hailey Young. Back in LA, I've never seen that much food.

I just swung by the 'Can to inspect the damage, lol, and other then what looks like Roxxxy getting into the toolbox lat night after all the other girls left for LA and finding that drilldo she loves so much, the place was pretty good. There are still like 2 dozen fucking white castles in the fridge stinking it up, i need to throw that shit out or let them sit there another 6 days then give them to a bum and videotape the explosive vomitting for some bonus footage.

Yeah, left-over fast food doesn't fare well. I guess we didn't eat it once it was in the fridge because we're porn girls and we like it hot!
JimJaded, I see you had a pita for lunch. I'm having one for dinner. I settled on the Philly Steak and added lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onions, green peppers, green olives, mushrooms, hot peppers, barbarque sauce, and tzatziki. I believe I added falafel to my order. I'm super full but can't help thinking about tomorrows lunching adventures.
Today I ended up at Chipotle. I settled on the Chicken fajita burrito. This is a generous helping of sliced, marinated chicken breast, sauteed green peppers and onions, spiced rice, with the green and the red salsas, topped with shredded white cheese and sour cream rolled into a flour tortilla.
I washed it down with a cup of icewater garnished with two sliced lemons.
The Chipotle (pronounced cheep-oat-lay) is a new addition to the 5 square block area near The Children's Limbo. I was a lot more excited about it until one of the Partners here, Howard, told me that it's owned by the same people that own McDonalds. blech.
When they first opened (two weeks ago), they offered free lunch from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm. I stood in the 40 minute line and ordered two burritos. I acted surprised when the cashier told me it was free (someone tipped me off outside before I entered the restaurant), so that they wouldn't think I was some kind of porker taking advantage of their benevolent generosity. I even asked for it "to go" so they would not be wise to my subterfuge.
I ate the steak burrito in my car on the walk back to the office and then ate the shredded free-range pork burrito that evening for dinner.
I'd actually thought about it but Danny Glover? I just can't picture him going aginst that alien. I might watch Preditor again... just to soak in all that action.
I made a run through the El Pollo loco drive through and ordered one BRC burrito, and a taco al carbon from the value menu, man this thread reminds me ive been eating like shit...
anyway
Theres a chipotle in the warner center by my house, i hadnt checked it out yet. would you recommend it?
Sometimes I go through a drive-thru and park somewhere in the shade to eat and listen to the radio. I ran through the Subway near my office today and parked in a shopping center lot across the way under a tree. This parking lot is almost empty because a grocery store has recently closed.
A few minutes pass and some creep pulls up opposite the island with the tree. I look over and down into the car and its a dude with a Peter Berlin haircut in 2006. Somethings not right or he wouldn't be there, so I look straight ahead, listen to the NASCAR channel on XM Radio and finish my subway sandwich.
The dude finally drives away and and a few minutes later when I leave the parking lot I look into the rear view mirror and see him and another car hooked up 6 or 7 rows back in the parking lot.
It sucks, it ruined my lunch. I used to think of the place as part of my neighborhood and now it's being cruised by queers.

Chipotle has some good grub. Try it. If you dont like it, at least your taste buds would be the judge.
yeah but every time i see it its REALLY fuckin packed. SO it begs the question, is it packed because its good or is it packed because all these poor assholes around here have nowhere else to go.
personally id rather not waste the time in line if i dont have to

Chipotle is really excellent food in terms of the "Good food fast" genre. It's a great place to get a nice Carnitas burrito, I try to hit it up once a month. It reminds me of a place I used to go in Atlanta called "Tortiallas" whick also had excellent pork burritos.
I finally got around to trying Daphne's Greek Cafe the other day. The food was good and the service was good too. I'll definitely be going there again.

Daphne's is good. They got one in Redondo and Manhattan Beach. Tommorow Im going to El Pollo Inka. They have about 5 in the South Bay. Its very good food.

pollo inca is great...i used to go to the one in compton......they have a nice corazon plate...
JimJaded: you should try Chipotle, though it's not something I would say "Oh you have to try it", it's still something I'm sure would give you a good fill up while tantalizing your senses. With that said I would like to announce to all interested parties that the spicy meatball that didn't show up at lunch day before yesterday totally came through today; points were scored by the nodester in the morning. Enough about me, you good people wanna know about-
LUNCH!
Today, I went to the cafeteria in the lobby of the Marc Graue Building. I ordered the Pasta Pronto, which is the cafeteria's version of a pasta bar.
The lady that makes this is a total spaz. Her nametag says "Maddy" and the name is very fitting, because she always looks and acts PISSED at the world (except when she's smoking cigarettes outside on her break). I watched her throw a total mental tantrum one day when she almost burned herself. She has four fry pans going at once. Her voice is EXTREMELY nasally, and she starts by saying, "Next in line, Garlic?" Then the customer has to say what meat they'd like (chicken, shrimp, sausage) and then list off all the vegetables they'd like. I chose garlic, chicken, and all of the vegetables except for broccoli (zucchini, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, shredded carrots, green peppers and onions). To this she adds a handful of corkscrew pasta. Next, Maddy offers a choice of alfredo, pesto or marinara. I chose the alfredo and the pesto.
After she mixes it all together in the frying pan/wok, she empties it onto a styrofoam plate and I always say "thank you". The finishing table has shredded parmesan and spices (salt, black pepper, red pepper, oregano) and a tub full of bread sticks (one per customer, please). Lunch was good. So how'd you break bread today?
Quote: six weeks ago i hurt my shoulder and im starting rehab---bloody rehab is harder than my workouts (:
Rehab is never easy. I tore my rotator cuff on 9/04 and again in 2/95. Thats twice in 5 months. I wish I had gone to rehab the first time. I dont think the second tear would've happened. Another tear and its surgery. GO TO REHAB!
Tomorrow, I'm taking three friends to Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe, across the street from the U.S. Airways Arena, and chances are we'll be the only 4 whiteys in the joint, but I don't care--it's the best soul food Fuzzy Zoeller never ate. I'll be having chicken fried steak, collared greens and sweet potatoes. Last time I was there about six years ago, the lady at the cash register reminded Charles Barkley, directly behind me with his mother, not to cut in line, and she was dead serious. All I could think was "6'6" my ass!"
Today, I might try the Greco's Italian Restaurant daily special which is the "Say Cheese" (if they still have it). It is a thin crust personal sized pizza with melted mozzarella, cheddar, provolone and bleu cheese, topped with diced tomatoes and scallions.
This is served with a house salad and unlimited Coca-Cola refills for the unflinching price of $8.95 plus tax.
I like to go to Greco's because they have a small smoking section in the back where I can read undisturbed.
Then again, I might just pop down to the cafeteria in my office building here at the Bambini Limbo and order a quick sandwich.
Absolutely nothing against dinner, LUNCH just happens to be my favorite out of all three meals. I always like to have a good lunch otherwise I will feel weird all day. Sometimes I drag people along with me, like today when I dragged my assistant whose mind seemed to be occupied by other matters. I bought her a lunch and you should've seen her afterwards- you'd have thought someone injected her with testosterone. And now time for the real topic at hand;
LUNCH.
Today, I ventured outside at noon and visited the cafeteria in the MAGIC building across the street from Catnaper HQ. There is a steep incline down through a park area to get to this building. They recently re-paved the sidewalk with some kind of fancy new concrete and whenever it's raining, I have to be very careful not to slip and fall. That happened one afternoon and I scuffed up my tan cotton Dockers brand office leisure trousers. As my mind wandered towards litigious matters, I quickly looked around, but unfortunately, there were no eyewitnesses.
Anyways, today, I ventured to the "other" cafeteria and opted for the 'House Special' Fish Fry. Three breaded and fried large pieces of ocean perch, 2 slices of rye bread, frenched fried potatoes and coled slaw. I asked the server if I could substitute macaroni and cheese for the coled slaw and he said that would be fine, but it would cost me extra. I indicated that cost was not an object. I also had a couple of lemon wedges to squirt over the top of the perch and a pile of Heinz 57 sauce to dip my frenched fried potatoes into.
When I approached the cashier's register, I neglected to mention the substitution of macaroni and cheese in place of the coled slaw and the lady in the hairnet was none the wiser. My assistant had a fish fillet and has been chipper all day. The wonders of a good lunch. So what'd you have today?
My problem with restautant eating is that I like to DRINK when I eat. And as I now live in a city where I have to drive, this is no longer permissable.
I went to one of my favorite lunch spots today and tried a daily special I didn't expect to enjoy. It was a grilled turkey and pimento cheese sandwich on rye with a marinated tomato and mushroom salad. I washed it down with a glass of iced tea (brewed sweetened of course, bitches). They make the pimento cheese in house. It was damned good.
I had 2 x 1.5 litre FIJI water's (well the second refill was from the office sparkletts) and one of those SUPER ENERGY packs of mystery vitamins you see at the counter in 7-11 for $1.49.
Ive been having them in the morning when i stop off on the way to work to pick up a 1.5 litre FIJI brand water.But today i grabbed a croissant as well, ate that. and saved the energy pack for lunch.
Im actually quite impressed with them, they keep me energized practically all day up until my evening run (around 5/5:30) only thing i notice is they turn your piss neon yellow.
Didn't have time for lunch so gonna make very plain and simple crab salad, stuff seasoned Salmon, bake it covered in a little bit of olive oil. And some angel hair pasta butter and herb sauce with it. The butter sauce is the most fattening part of it all but whatever, didn't have lunch.
I miss el crazy polo. BRC's are yummy. Love their churro's too!!
Today, I ordered the grilled chicken caesar salad from the cafeteria across the street.
The lettuce tasted a bit "stale" or possibly "freezer-burned". The dressing was "ok". The grilled chicken breast was tender and warm. The piece of garlic bread was small. I wanted to ask the gentleman serving the lunch if I could have the larger piece in the tray, but he had the smaller piece selected and the styrofoam container closed before I could say anything.
I should have opted for the lamb kabob over saffron rice or the tenderloin sandwich with frenched fried potatoes. Damn the electric fence!
Oh well, there's always tomorrow and that's what makes LUNCH exciting every day.
For dinner I had Filet Mignon w/olive oil and fried garlic cloves over the top side of mashed potatoes. Tall glass of sweetened ice tea. Im stuffed, that was fucking delicious.
I had a shredded, BBQ Beef Sandwich out of the Sanese vending machines. It cost $1.75. I also had a styrofoam cup of free coffee that the warehouse provides for us. As is my pathological custom, I carried my lunch to a secluded, non-designated luncheon location in the warehouse, like usual over the grated flor and leaning against the coated steel shelves of the rarely visited end of Zone S on the 2nd tier. In my makeshift dining area, I chewed and really agonized over all my human interaction in the warehouse of this morning and early afternoon as always. And as usual I wept a few tears involuntarily in self pity realizing from the pathetic evidence of my interactions with others that I had no hope of being the kind of man that could take care of a woman, and that I did not in any way deserve Tammi. The constant fear is that society intervenes, its heralds in the dim shepe of familiars descending upon her with "You can do better". And she can because I can fix her car, can't argue with a bill collector, can't do anything really, can't clear brush, can't tell a black youth proclaiming she's is fin to chill, dog, can't take charge, can't make action, can't proscribe a course. I just hate being unworthy don't you? Every weekend I pray I'll drinki enough to find a core backbone with enough sense and fortitude to kill myself. But never. Cowardice keeps me alive. I'm certain of that, though I've never b eeen certain of anything useful to the negotiation of live. Cowardice= living onward. Life is the coward's way out.
I went to Baja Fresh because of my adiction to quesadillas. I had the chicken quesadillas. The hot sauce wasnt as hot as I like it, but with a little help from the jalepenos, it was all good.
Chico Travieso, I present to you the following fine steakhouses and my personal recommendations:
Try Arroyo Chop House's chop house garlic Bread or scallops wrapped with pancetta as a starter before splurging on the prime beef skewers. If you're feeling a little playful, try the Filet Mignon- although I know a place in Pittsburgh that does better.
If you'd prefer a place in Hollywood try the Dakota in the Roosevelt Hotel. They've got some pretty good prime ribs if you don't mind atmosphere of yuppies etc. I stopped going here because I can't stand crowds.
On Wilshire Blvd theres The Lincoln Steakhouse. I'd recommend this place for dinner and if 8oz of flat iron steak or the 9oz angus filet mignon topped with maitre d’ butter and horseradish tarragon or blueberry compote doesn't fill you up-
dash to Santa Monica, find Palm's and order yourself some of their prime aged new york strips (either 12oz or 18oz).

I tried a local wine tonight,thought id try to "keep it real" since noone "keeps it real" anymore..
Thousand Oaks vineyard 2004 chardonnay...im gonna have to pass on future purchases.....certainly no nickel & nickel and absolutely not even on the same planet as ferrari-carrano
btw: ive eaten steak in LA, SF, NY, MIA, paris, barcelona, berlin.... and noone holds a candle to mortons IMHO.
"If you'd prefer a place in Hollywood try the Dakota in the Roosevelt Hotel. They've got some pretty good prime ribs if you don't mind atmosphere of yuppies etc. I stopped going here because I can't stand crowds."
Same with Boa inside the Grafton Hotel on Sunset Blvd. If you don't mind the ambiance, the steak (especially the prime rib or the filet mignon) is excellent. The tables are small and it's a bit noisy in there. Great service, and not too long of a wait if you don't have a reservation.
i'm generally not much of a white guy, even chteau d'yquem 01 didn't do much for me.
i've got half a case of ferrari carano's tresor around here, it's great shit for $50. i've shared a bottle of the 92 FC reserve red, which is now the same thing as the tresor, awesome wine.
there are so many goddamn morton's out there, some of them are great, some are less-so. i eat at the one down in stamford a lot and it's really good, the one in boston sucks. go to the french laundry for me, that's the one restaurant in the states i still want to go to, year after year it always blows away the ny stuff actually near me and alain ducasse shouldn't even be on lists anymore.

IMHO, I still take Mortons Beverly Hills for steak....ive eaten at lugers, old homestead,boa,mastro's,angelo and maxies, S&W ,R Chris(insert $40 a la carte steak place here), etc etc...maybe because the prime rib is perfect, and you dont need to bother with a pesky menu..bring me meat, potato, and wine...
when i lived in the bay area i used to goto Napa 3 or 4 times a year.... i dined at FL in 2000, back when silicon valley was silicon valley and 22 year old tech'ies were lighting $50 cuban montecristo's with 100 bills in their covertible ferrari's on every 3rd street in Woodside...
Im split 50/50 on white/red, allthought 99% of the time im choosing a napa wine, usually from a house i enjoyed the tasting menu at in some musty underground cave....which reminds me its time to plan a trip...
I've found the food at Morton's is pretty uniform, the ambience varies from place to place--the one in Scottsdale is good, downtown Phx is horrible, the original near Loyola Medical Center is great.
Given the resources, my "food week" would be:
Monday: filet at Morton's on State St. (with asparagus!) Tuesday: tennis at the Del in San Diego, swordfish at the Chart House across the street. Wednesday: crawfish etoufee at Commander's in New Orleans. Thursday: Cuban steak and sangria at Cha Cha Cha in the Haight Ashbury. Friday: rack of lamb at El Chorro Lodge in Paradise Valley. Saturday: lobster tacos from Chimayo on Huntington Beach. Sunday: while taking a burro down to Phantom Ranch in the Grand Canyon, fly in a fresh king salmon from the Pike Place Market.
Alternates: The Charcoal House in St. Louis, Margaritaville on the Sausalito Pier, McDonald's cheeseburger at the Point Reyes Lighthouse (sentimental favorite).
Lights! Cameras! Death! There's something alluring about death and mayhem in a place so artificially feel-good as Hollywood. After all, this is a place where dreams come true, money flows like water, and fame can find you sitting at the ice-cream counter. Hollywood is also the place where dreams die in agony, horrible murders are committed against the famous (and by the famous) and where the people who inspire "some" come to lose their minds- and their lives. I haven't lost my mind yet, but I feel a brilliant glossy sheen pocesses me every once in a while, a terrifying picture of a blasted landscape, pulverized pinging lights appear and disappear bringing some semblance of structural stability to the detonating dissonance that blasts forth all around, until the piece implode, collapse, and then segue into the calmer stutter of 'where for art' and its sound field of alien clicks and distant moans. That was before LUNCH:
My girlfriend and I met up with my good pal wisp and his girl today at Kiriko. I like to think of myself quite the sushi expert so I sometimes tend to recommend stuff for people saying "unagi sunomono is prefrable to salamari soba salad unless you don't mind soy mustard dressing". My friend wisp always does the opposite of what I say which naturally tends to spark some argument. I settled on some clam miso soup for starters while occasionally dipping into my girlfriends smoked salmon and mango. wisp's girl excluded this part of lunch and decided she'd wait for the main course where she ordered the white fish carpacchio as I had recommended. This is comprised of thin sliced white fish topped off with Julienne vegetables. Wisp settled for the yummy yakitoro no nigiri which is seared toro sushi blended with the Chef's special sauce. My girlfriend and I went for a combination plate which offered assorted sushi rolls, maki, nigiri etc as well as the Honey balsamic teriyaki chiken, which is grilled chicken with Honey balsamic teriyaki sauce served with mashed sweet potato . After lunch we began to insult everyone involved in the making of Mission: Impossible 3, bad commericals and ugly children before everyone began to laugh at me for not finishing a 120 page script due first thing Monday morning. Argh- who cares. LUNCH was spectacular and I got a new copy of Liquid Swords today by the GZA. So..how'd you break bread today friend?
Reminds me of this picture. Very profound words there, love it.

today we grabbed a bunch of raclette and threw it on a saucepan over the range and melted it onto some broiled potatos. we ate some cornichons too. that's all i've had today, just more furniture shopping. and some furniture shopping. did i mention i got dragged furniture shopping? oh well, at least we didn't do it sober, that would be gayer than gay.

Today my good friend Sparky came over to see me. It was a very big surprise because I haven't seen Sparky in, probably 2 months. Anyway, Sparky and I had a lot to catch up on.. we touched on just about everything- from music, women, work- hell I even managed to squeeze in Cheryl Hines into the conversation. We were so engaged in the conversation that I had almost forgotten LUNCH until I saw something on the television about food. It seems there are a lot of ads on television about fast food, anyone else ever notice that?
Anyway- I asked Sparks whether he was down for a Semmel and he nodded yes. A semmel is a simple white bread roll from Austria which is then servered with saucy dishes such as a paprika gulyas, or roast pork.
I made myself and Sparky a Kartoffel Knoedel- which is a semmel with potato dumpling and some paprika gulyas. Sparky added some sauerkraut (veggies) and Hungarian sausage cut into chunks. Greedy bastard. I had some sour cream on the side but ate so fast I only managed 2 dips. Dammit. Sundays are lazy for me. Lunch was good. What was cooking up in your kitchen?
Today I meet Jodie for lunch. Jodie is a British writer and is super fucking hot. She's supposedly writing a book of female surfers but looking at her, you'd think she's a Jeri Hall clone. And she's very hypnotic too- if she tooks to you, you feel like a little kid in Kingergarten that's been caught fiddling with something. As we're walking to LUNCH Jodie says she has to give something to someone (a parcel I believe she said) and she hands this parcel to a short freakish demon whom she later explains is a Samonan transsexual called Miki.
We decided to grab something at Ciao Trattoria. We get there and Jodie is real health conscience. She's one of those that has a reason why they don't eat certain foods. She starts grabbing a Greek Salad and even inquires whether or not the green bell pepper and tomatoes used were fresh. "I just can't stand places that doesn't serve a good Greek Salad". She says as she turns toward me. Normally I'd be like "preppy bitch!" but you know what? This whore is so fscking hot I just laugh it off and offer "I know isn't that annoying?" I decide to go for the Meathe Pasta Carbonara with fettucini, linguini, Italian bacon, green pepper and parmesan-romano. Jodie's eyes are sky blue and her skin is flawless. I thought about nothing but her during lunch. She smells good too. I wish I knew what perfume she was wearing.
Today I plan on going to a Portugese Restaurant because my girlfriend and I started aruging over which food is better- Spanish or Portuguese. I say Portugese and she defended Spanish food which I think is all made up of soups. I think I won because I had more to say, so I get to decide where to go for lunch. It's already 1pm so I'm running late. Will report back on a full stomach.
today i had a lunch meeting at a very nice place called radius in boston, which i normally love. unfortunately, i was there with a few clients and 2 of our partners, so i just had some gnocchi with some black truffles and wild mushrooms because i knew it wouldn't be weird/messy/distracting to eat. it was good, i think-lunch was the last thing i was thinking about.
I'm getting on a plane to Minneapolis soon, so all I had time for was a protein shake at Equinox Gym's juicebar. I was dead tired from dead lifts and thank goodness the was no line behind me because I was getting indecisive, but perked up when the guy behind the counter suggested I try a Vanilla Nut Blast.
C&O Cafe in Venice! Over-roasted chicken with potatoes and vegetables, with nice black and white photos of stereotypical Italians everywhere just in case the menu wasn't clear about the type of restauarant it is.
Today I went to lunch with Jordan Fleiss, Bishop, and Da Burglar. We went to a national steakhouse. I order a steak, baked potato, ceasar salad, sauteed (sp?) mushrooms and something called cranberry lemonade. The cranberry lemonade was so watered down that it tasted like friggin tapwater. My steak was a tad overcooked and baked potato was too damn hot. The sevice was kinda bad. We got our appetizers 10 minutes AFTER our lunch had been served. We also order some dessert at the begging that was so late in arriving that we cancelled it. Im never going there again. Its not worth it. Th name of the place, if anybody cares is Black Angus.

I have been there several times, I really like the place. I have had a lobster pasta there that I wanted to jerk off into. In fact, I did, and I am not allowed to go back.
Only had time for peanut butter and jelly. It had been years and I was craving it so it worked out well. I had green tea too, gotta put some lemon in it towards the bottom because it gets bitter *shudder*

Next time you have that urge, you should dip your balls into the mountains of ice they keep in the urinals. I never figured out why they do that.
I also work very nearby, so hypothetically you could PM next time you're in the area and I could meet you provided you bring Gia.
I came down with a touch of the plague , so for lunch today I had: 2x 1000mg vitamin C's, 4x dayquil's, 2 Hydroxycut's (for energy), some sourdough toast (with ICBINB) and lots of water. (cough)
jesus, and you didn't turn into cornholio taking as many OTC-stimulants as humanly possible? seriously, taking a shitload of pseudoephedrine and herbs=ephedrine HCL but chinese is fucking bad news.
tachycardia-city. the CNS-stimulation you're actually getting from that stuff comes at way too high a level of cardiovascular stimulation. meaning, you're bumping your vitals up for glorified coffee.
i can't deal with that shit, and i take 90mg of Rx speed a day.

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.

nah no such luck they took all the pseudoephrine out of day quil... i was actually hoping for more kick i was falling asleep all day...
Yeah, I could never understand how my classmates could so calmly pay attention all the time and not break off and make eye contact with me. I always knew where the teacher was going, how the test would shape up, why were my classmates pretending that they didn't know this too? I'm sure that we could each write a couple billion words about this topic alone, I'll bet there are a few more on this board alone who could too, but I don't want to 'jack Loops Lunch, he's got a good thing going here. I haven't had Lunch yet today, and I'm getting light-headed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I agree, but that miniature coffin is an amazing work of craftsmanship. Is that mother of pearl inlay Loop?
My friend Cindi decorated the coffin. She was at the party today. She kept making weird faces the entire time. Me and her got into a discussion about Cheryl Hines. It turns out Cindi has the same fixation on Cheryl as I do. I pointed out that perhaps when Cheryl goes to sleep she has her mouth open, releasing a celestrial cloud of pheramones into the atomosphere. Cindi giggled and added that if there is a phenomenon such as REM for tongues, Cheryl's must flicker like a wave in rapid waters it would turn any woman into a lesbian.
We stopped talking about this when we couldn't figure out which of her orifices would taste better and the mood had now changed from simple conversation to an empathic masterbation. Quido I says.
Today I didn't feel like going out and my friend Lazerbeak came over to get some musica from me. Homeboy has the worst taste in music (in my opinion) though occasionally we agree on some things- like I turned him into the Miami Vice soundtrack which a complete sleeze fest and perfect for crusing around town with. Anyway- as we were checking out different tunes with the tv on a special on Skinheads came on A&E and I started telling Lazerbeak about how I was collecting pictures of Skin Bryds.
"Oh shit man- just the other day Emma and I hanged out with a couple of skinheads. They were actually pretty cool."
This came as quite a surprise because Lazerbeak is such a hiphop fan I cannot for the life of me imagine him hanging out with skinheads. He's more the type to kick it on the curb with some homies jamming to a Raekwon mixtape or something.
LUNCH break found us with handmade chicken cordon bleu.... flattened boneless chicken breast with a layer of cooked ham (not very fatty at all), and cheese rolled up into a solid unit, breaded, deep-fried and then baked and served with a heaping ladleful of lemony hollandaise sauce. On the side were a choice of mashed or baked potatoes ( i chose the mashed potatoes with the yellow gravy, and regreted my decision because normally the mashed potatoes are fresh, however today they were instant...live and learn), a mixed pile of steamed peas and carrots and a sesame-crusted slice of vienna bread with butter spread across the side. i washed all of this down with a can of sunkist orange-flavored soda. Lazer canned himself a brew of Bud.
Quote: dude, it's all about jan hammer. pick up the miami vice II disc, if only for the damned's "in dulce deorum".
I have all 3 installations of the soundtrack. You know what else I got? Cyborg soundtrack. I swear that shit kicks more riffs than John Walsh hunting pedos on AMW.
If any of you are ever in west LA and are in the mood for a simple light meal you must go to California Fresh (I think it's at the corner of Montana and Westwood or near there at least). The place is just an awesome place to have a little fish or pasta or salad for lunch. I usually get the Shrimp Scampi. It's one of the things I miss most about living over there. It's also like 8 bucks so it can't be beat.
mmm Shrimp Scampi. That sounds good rights about now.
Today I actually slept through LUNCH which is weird coz I was craving a Margarita. My gf has really turned me onto those things. Normally I wouldn't be caught dead with such a light cocktail but with the perfect blend of Tequila it's a hard one to resist.
Supper was a meatloaf with some potatoes and carrots to the side. I haven't been eating enough carrots so I'm going to do a little carrot binge here soon.
Tonight I'm watching Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. It's supposed to be a sci-fi movie but it's actually got more love story in it, plus its not your typical sci-fi story with a time machine or anything like that. I'll have a margarita later tonight.
Proscuitto and smoked fresh mozzerella on a roll with roasted red peppers w/olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Together with a Manhattan Special (coffee soda).
Today I hang out with Linda aka Banana Seat Girl. She plays with the Hollywood Potatoe Orchestra and also writes for HBO. I took her to HBO today actually cause she has a reader going through one of her screenplays. Anyway- I was feeling pretty shitty since I had gone to bed pretty late and woken up very early. Kinda sucks coz I wanted to hang out with Linda longer; am trying to boink this broad.
About 2pm I raced to a not very well known Argentinian restaurant, I had a seafood pasta dish, sort of a hybrid Italian/S. American dish....calamari, mussels, prawns, scallops with italian noodles and a very spicy tomato sauce. That's Amore.
On a sidenote: I picked up this album called Selected Remixes and Productions of Sun-Ra. It's done by different contemporary artists and one of them happanes to be this incredibly bangable little mynx that looks like a latin Beady Belle...Yum!
I was so dang busy Saturday and yesterday that I didn't get a chance to have lunch It really angers me like a five year old having a shit fit. So I spoiled myself last night and had crab meat ravioli with lobster bisque sauce with red bell peppers chopped. It was the best thing in the world at Louise's Trattoria here in Westlake Village. If you're out towards this direction you have to try it. It's off of Westlake Blvd and Thousand Oaks Blvd. next to Trader Joes. They even have amazing chicken parmesan. THeir alfredo sauce is so tasty (thats for you Malice ) and if you fear traditional noodles, they have wheat noodles instead but.. I think it's a disgrace.
Anyway- my döner came on a soft pita flat bread with grilled chicken, cheese, soured cream, tomato salsa, green chile salsa and a squeeze of lemon over the top. I washed this down with a Dreher (domestic Hungarian beer). It's rare to find Hungarian beer outside the country so I felt pretty lucky to get this.
I'm currently listening to a punk group known as The Germs. LaLa, my girlfriend's friend, used to be a former Punk and she put me onto them. She told me they were one of the first L.A. punk groups to hit the scene back in the very late 70s and I have to be honest, I hardly listen to this sort of music but i've been bumping these guys for the past 2 days non stop. Amazing!!

It good shit man.
Hey Jeff, is there any newer bands, groups or punk bands that you like today aside from the classics?
I had a mesquite chicken sandwich on wheat bread,swiss cheese for lunch today from Quizno's. Normally I like to make my own but the mesquite chicken has bacon on it and whatever else is in it, is rather addicting. YUM!
Today I didn't eat lunch. I was held up at a Producers office where I had to show a reel of stuff I've done. I'm totally pissed coz the guy took forever to talk and all he did was repeat himself. But there was light on the other side of the tunnel;
This totally hot chick from New Zealand working at Weta Digital Ltd joined us. I forget her name but she was supposed to talk about character development of creatures (specifically dragons). I didn't listen to what she was saying- I was mesmorized by her accent and seriousness. As soon as we left the building we started complimenting one anothers work- ofcourse this was a ruse: I totally got her number.
So now am home waiting for the girlfriend to prepare some supper. I'm eating early and hopefully I will have something left over for later.
I hope you guys had something worthwhile to report though
I woke up super late today and almost missed LUNCH but I wasn't about to let that happen. I had to return a book to a friend and get some drinks for tonights binge so it was only inevitable that I get myself a decent meal.
I stopped by the Buio Omega Cafe to get myself semmel but ended up ordering an extrawurstsemmel with gurkerl. Extrawurstsemmel is a kaiserroll with a sausage and tastes divine. I'm not too into sodas so I asked for some apple juice with ice.
Tonight I had plans on watching Cliffhanger (don't ask) but I picked up this album at Dr Mercury's place which is like a kerosene-enema-induced flare mix of merenge and salsa and bolero; I can't stop listening to it.
Wowzer... what a morning. My girlfriend's friend What came to see us today and made quite a scene when she saw my latest project (might post pictures later). I wasn't feeling too energetic today thanks to the many shots of taquila I had last night (mistake).
LUNCH started with some apple juice and fruchtebrötli (wholemeal fruit bread with whole roasted hazlenuts etc in it!) then i had my two mandarins, and then the main part; sushi and some soba noodles with ente (duck) and prawns in a really strong /salty noodle soup that the girlfriend and What ordered for delivery.
I'm going to work for another hour or so before I take the girls out to the Tiki Lounge for poison. Stay tuned for reports and more Luncheon exploits!
Today the girlfriend is sick, and to make matters worse, her friend What came to see her and acted like a total twat: ignoring me and feeding my girlfriend a load of paranoia, telling her my habits and lifestyle are whats affecting her health. I detest this girl greatly right now... but I cannot get upset with the wifey all sickly and sleepy.
But enough of the henpecking- you good citizens want to know about LUNCH.
Today i had a lettuce, tomato, and cucumber salad topped with an amazing "ken's steak house" brand caesar dressing. i followed this with a butter-drenched, heavily salted/peppered baked potato and a grilled lamb chop. This delicious luncheon I washed down with an iced cold samuel adams boston lager. prost!
I had a fricadelle today. It's an elongated meatball made with ground meat and a variety of complementary ingredients and seasonings; in my case Ground Belgian Blue Beef, dry bread crumbs, thinly sliced onions, nutmeg, salt, pepper.. the whole SHABANG!
The girlfriend is feeling better and has gone back to her companion duties. As for me, I'm sitting on the couch watching movies and flicking through channels. I might get around to watching the new bella flick soon!
I've decided that either porn stars should not be allowed to have friends outside of the sex industry or they should be put into containment camps like we did with the Japs in World War II.
It's porn entrepreneur Taylor Wane's fault that I feel this way. Recently, I was to meet a metal band called Nile. I didn't know anything about the band aside from their name, which led me to believe they were from Egypt, so I decided to have some fun with them. Being from Egypt I thought they'd enjoy it if I dressed up as a pharaoh.
Then I thought, 'Everyone loves T&A, I should get a sexy lady to come with me dressed as Cleopatra.' I decided to call Taylor because she's a good sport and has a great sense of humour. She loved the idea.
The next day we went to a costume shop, picked out our outfits and I bought a rubber chicken. Afterwards, we returned to her place and had crazy circus sex that involved every one of her orifices. That's a lie. She just gave us a tour of her home, showing us where all the magic happens on her own personal porn set equipped with bed, whipping post, sex swing and anything else one might need to film a dirty movie.
As we were leaving and saying our goodbyes she gave me, my photographer and my filmer a bag full of DVDs each. Inside was a variety of movies from Taylor's catalogue with her bent, folded and opened up in every possible manner. We kindly thanked her and returned to our hotel. That night, in our separate rooms, we lay awake in our beds each having simulated sex with Taylor for hours on end.
The next day at breakfast no-one spoke. We looked long into our eggs with shame. I finally asked the others, "So. Did you guys watch any of Taylor's movies last night?" Like Peter towards Jesus of Nazareth, they each denied me three times, yet their faces told the truth. I told them it was OK, that I had, in fact, watched Taylor in compromising positions, including this film where she masturbates using her ass (as the title indicates). One lad began to cry. He admitted he watched all the DVDs and got no sleep at all. He then confessed he didn't think he could shoot Nile that afternoon out of fear he would be thinking filthy thoughts about Taylor the entire time and most likely would not be able to keep his camera still.
We all felt the same way. There was no-one to blame but Taylor herself. She was far too nice to us. Even her husband welcomed us into their house and made us feel comfortable. In our few hours together we cultivated a friendship and she had to go and throw her goddamn vagina into the mix, in typical porn fashion, and screw everything up. I mean, at one point she was letting us hold a mould of her ass (available on her website) and telling us to put our fingers in the hole, while saying, "That's really what my ass feels like."
Now you tell me how the hell a man is supposed to have a normal, platonic relationship with a beautiful, big-breasted woman and discuss politics and wedding planning after he's had his digit in her fake ass? It's just not right, I tell you. These people are sick and they need to be caged up. End of story.
I had a wholesome dinner last night of Sausage and Pepper Penne from California Pizza Kitchen and a few bites of tiramisu at 1am LOL so I'm keepin it healthy for brunch before I get zapped and mutilated for CyberNet.
I'm having green tea, bottle of water, peach yogurt and granola and then a berry something or another Naked juice drink for me big bundle load of antioxidants since I'm not getting any cum today
Last night was weird. I was boinking my lady when What called at 4am. I picked up the phone thinking it was a family member but it turns out this cunt was drunk and needed someone to take her home. My girlfriend offered but I decided to do it because she doesn't drive well at night. Actually, I don't know any females that do.
So I get dressed and make a dash for the Tiki Bar (our favorite watering hole) and What is standing outside sucking on a ciggie and wearing something that looks similar to what Alicia Silverstone wore in Clueless when she went to that houseparty trying to hook up homegirl with Tye (fsck you, I know you watched it too).
So.. I pick up homegirl and now am making a dash for her place right? And homegirl is making moves on me. I'm pretty surprised considering me and What don't see eye to eye on many things (particularly last week) but I guess she's left it all behind. I had a pretty decent buzz going and it's surprising I didn't feel her up (or did I?) but after getting her home she gave me this sheepish look that translated to "you know where I live right?" I make the dash home and girlfriend is asleep. DAMMIT!
I woke up at LUNCH-time and had curry-chicken with rice. delicious! So now you know.
Tony, try The Lincoln Steakhouse over at Wilshire. It's a little on the expensive side but they have great food. I tend to frequent that place quite a lot- but I sit way at the back and pretend to read a magazine or something.
Today I woke up with quite the appettite. I had to meet a milf called Erin at about 2pm but I was running late so I called her and asked her to meet me at Chipotle. When I feel lazy I go here because they make me feel like am getting a subway without the health positive crap.
I kinda felt sorry for Erin because she has a thing where she never speaks up. I know I really fscked up (being late and all) and even though I appologized and she accepted and said "don't worry about it" I still felt a bit guilty so I decided to pay for her food.
Now when it comes to Mexican food I'm not too adventerous because I can't stand something with too much spice. So I ordered two Chicken Fajita. The Fajita, for those that didn't know, is just like a burrito but with sauteed peppers and onions instead of beans. The vegetarian fajita has both sauteed veggies and black beans instead of meat, and comes with guacamole. I know the girls that work behind the counter because I always make jokes with them so whenever I get a meal here they give me a free coke just for being such a jolly lad.
Erin and I sat near the back (not close to the potty because I don't need to hear customers getting worked on by their bean burritos). Turns out later tonight she has a showing for some of her work and she asked whether I wanted to tag along. I'm still thinking about it.
LUNCH was great. See you all at the new Lunar Colony tonight!
Quote: Speaking of ribs, where's a good place in LA to get some damn ribs.. not a bbq place so much as a real restaurant?
Could be spare ribs or baby back..
A real restaurant for ribs? Ribs are the food of the polloi not blueblood elitists with their cloth napkins and metal silverware. An awesome place for ribs is at the fork of Washington, intersecting Beethoven in Venice, called "The Outdoor Grill". I ate LUNCH there yesterday.
The Valley Ranch House on Sherman Way and Balboa. Okay the area isn't the greatest but that restaurant has been around forever and has the best pork ribs and even beef ribs. The beef ribs like any other place can be iffy, some fatty than others but good nonetheless. But I prefer the pork ribs, SO GOOD!! Tasty TONY!!! It's worthy.
One Christmas, my mom and dad had loads of people round and they cooked a salmon. I took the skeleton afterwards and put it on one of my turntables under a sheet of plastic, angled the arm the right way, took the cartridge off and played it. It made a fscking racket. So I took it down to Andy's, put it into the software and made a track out of it.
Another time we went to the Zoo and found a dead baby monkey- it must have got out of a cage and died, we just found it on the ground- so Andy put it in his bag. When we got it back to the house, we stuck it in a chair, shoved a pipe up its ass and kept pressing its stomach and it made a sound like "phthut phtut". Eventually a new song was made called "Banana Monkey Boogie".
Today I had smoked salmon for LUNCH that triggered this nostalgia. I might make some music later tonight.
Ah. Chico you've asked a very good question and I can tell you're a person who takes their luncheon very seriously. Good for you sir.
Columbian restaurants are hard to find. The key is to find Columbian cuisine to begin with, which, given their reputation for coke, isn't exactly easy.
One place I can recommend is Restaurante Chibcha (Comida colombiana y caribeña) on W. Sunset Boulevard. They're cusine isn't exactly top notch but if you want to sample, this is a good place to start. To tell you the truth, if you want Columbian, find a Columbian and see whether they have a grandmother. The new generation (i.e. 3rd generation plus) is polluted.
Argentinian: now this gets tricky. You see, Argentina is mostly known for music outside it's own borders so their food gets mixed with a lot of Spanish.
Carlitos Gardel on Melrose for a Spanish type flair or Guacho Grill in Pasedena should fill your appettite.
In Clairmont they have a place called El Tango Argentino but I only drank here: never ate, so I cannot really be accurate about the cuisine (shop with caution).
Venezuelan: damn pal. Your really going exotica aren't you? Unfortunately I don't know any Venezuelan establishments that can cater strictly to their ethnic cuisine. Jump around, shop around, eat out and meal in. Venezuelan chicks are some of the hottest chicks in the universe so who knows what they're cooking?

Quote: Here's something seductive for Loop... oh how the hands touch her face so delicately
Hey, that looks like my friend Quick's work. Quick likes to dismantle dolls. He once asked me to make him this lovely lolita girl which he then proceeded to dismantle and give spider limbs. I was digusted! That picture fascinates me though. I really wonder if it's Quick's work.
Anyway, I know everyone's gagging to hear about my LUNCH report for today: Well- my girlfriend and I had Stamppot boerenkool and schnitzel.
Stamppot, for those that are curious, is a Dutch meal that consists of mashed potatoes mixed with either raw or cooked vegetables and (not necessarily) meat. In our case, we added potatoes, meatballs, carrots and broccoli. I also added some Snitzel which is a kind of meat, but really I did this cause I wanted to get rid of it. It's not really that Dutch if you ask me.
Normally if you were making Stamppot boerenkool and schnitzel you mash the potatoes then add spekkies and a piece of rookworst (dutch smoked sausage) but I like to experiment and play around with different cuisine. We washed this down with a nice cold lager of heineken (I had 2 but my girlfriend only had 1 because she's a light weight).
Today I fscking went shopping. I say this because I didn't want to get out of bed. I was having this wonderful dream that I was back in high school fscking chicks like Cezanne (a girl who was in my class who had the best ass EVER) and Rosella (this chick that had an amazing body too boost) and Laura (WOW.. Laura).
Anyhoo, I had to wake up and go shopping so I did. I hate shopping in L.A. Everyone assumes you entered a store to buy something so they're always following you around saying stupid shit like "oh that would look just fantastic on you" and a majority of the help is gay (not that thats a bad thing, but...) I even went into Abercrombie & Fitch just for fun. There was a half naked man in the store waiting to take pictures with young girls.. what a paedo.
I started getting hungry about 3pm because I was engrosed trying to pick up some addons for my ipod. Life sucks. Why do they sell ipods and never include a bunch of freebies for it? They always sucker you into getting extra stuff that sucks your dick for $100. I ended up buying nothing. In the long run- all that shit is piss. All I need is to listen to music. Who needs an iHome anyway?
I stopped off at Chevy's (again) for LUNCH for 2 reasons:
1). I wanted a serious Margarita
2). There were some hot chicks who pulled over and started walking towards the entrance so I wanted to follow them in.
I ushered the gf inside and we were quickly seated. The hot chicks had disappeared (just my luck, but the Margarita would surely not betray me like they did).
We quickly settled for our orders. The gf was having a Mango Margarita (which was later changed to a Peach Margarita because they had ran out of Mango) and I had a Strawberry Margarita. If you haven't had Chevy's Margaritas I highly recommend them. These things will take you to Tiki Heaven faster than Jimmy Buffet can.
Today I made an early stop at the Paramount Lot because I wanted to catch an early reel of Nacho Libre. I'm very surprised because it's not the typical hollywood smock that comes out- not that it's smarter than average Hollywood flicks, but I just can't see it making that much cash. If anything, this is for Jack Black fans (and maybe people that love making fun of Messicans).
After the flick I went to see my good friend N. N is such a strange fellow sometimes it even boogles my mind that we're friends. He listens to Country music and dresses really weird and makes comments like "we're going to make a lot o' money" all the time it's amazing. I gave N my synopsis of the film and my thoughts and typical him, he disagreed with me saying... yup you guessed it, "it's going to make us a lot o' money. I left N's office just in time for
LUNCH
I grazed at the salad bar downstairs with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, carrots and cabbage, peanuts, cucumbers, sunflower seeds, shredded cheddar, spinach leaves, croutons, and ranchers dressing.
Management said: If I don't watch my figure, no one else will. ha!
prost, friends. i'm back to eating a regular lunch again...
Loop, got a challenge for you. Im addicted to quesadillas and in your opinion, what are the top places to get one? I got a few favorite places in the South Bay, but what about the rest of LA?
Dude,
Chevy's. Get yourself a margarita while you're at it.
Or travel to East LA and find a quite spot at La Serenata de Garibaldi. They have a pretty colorful reputation. Just browsing through their menu is enough to get your mouth watering for their famous Chicken breast quesadilla.And all under $10. It's Messican heaven in here baby. Don't forget the Margarita!
Oh- and for those of you in Tex-Mex, I got ya back too. There's a place in San Antonio which is famous because the service treats you like shit, and if you treat them like shit back- they treat you normally. I forget the name of the place, but it's along the Riverwalk. I'm sure if you ask around you can't miss someone who'll point you in the right direction. If not for the meal, just go for a laugh as you watch the poor bastard sitting next to you get his beer tossed at him. The place is a riot.

Here in Dallas I eat all my Tex Mex at Mia's and I always sit at the table where Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson made "the deal" that brought DFW 3 SuperBowls.
As illegal drug use becomes an increasingly important part of our social and cultural identity, growing numbers of people depend on their stash to do more than get them high. Whereas a well-stocked medicine cabinet once simply meant you were sickly, today, in some circles, it's an arena for social one-upmanship. Like fine wines and expensive cigars, the contents of one's stash can signify wealth, connections, a refined taste, even scholarly erudition.
I had never thought about this until I went to visit Om today. Om is one of those people you grew up with, who then vanished and suddenly appeared with a new girlfriend, new car.. and believe it or not- new house. Apart from the goatie and height the only other changes are the drugs. What ever happened to downing a couple of largars at the bar and calling it a night mate?
"Try a little snort of this Number Four Chinese buddy! My dealer assures me this is strictly for personal use and rarely sold to the American hoi polloi"
The WAHHAT?
Om lives in a house that looks like that guy's from Boogie Nights with the kid that throws firecrackers in the house and always stops you when a song he knows the words to comes on. Come- to think of it, he looks a little like that too. His girl is hispanic.
I'm afraid you've been taken for a fool Om. It's just regular Afghani smoking base. Too much codeine by-product and heavily adulterated. Note the bouquet of crushed Veganin - I bet it produces a nasty aftertaste.
I've worked on flicks about drugs and believe me, the research is just as detailed as being a drug fiend yourself. His girl eyes me with that why-don't-you-just-join-in-instead-of-being-such-a-fscking-whinyo look. Yeah I know that look, I got it about 10 years ago from a girl when I was in Mombasa and had the chance to boink her on the beach, only I made up this exuse about having to meet up the fellows early for dinner. Yeah I know, it's fscking pussy shit, but I ended up boinking Charlotte the class hooker later that night at about 2am so I still emptied my balls. I'm a choosy fsck what can I say?
Om isn't happy. I try and get him to go out for LUNCH with me.
SNIFFFFFFF...
Why go out? Estella can heat up some microwave dinner for us man... I tell you...
This is where I drift off. Where the whams and slangs become a galaxy of hazy nebula falling into themselves in space.
Estelle brings me a soda, I make some phone calls- I even go outside for a while just to relax. Waaaa dude, you've turned into a fscking junkie.
Across the street teenagers serve up three gram-bottles of fluffy heroin for $50 a pop. I know Om will get some later- hell; that's what he looks like. I'm going for dinner. LUNCH stank.
Yesterday I went to L&L Hawaiian Barbeque in Hawthorne. I had the Mahi Mahi fish (which was good )rice and macaroni salad. The prices are reasonable and the selections are great.
Where can I get one of thesde? If it's a sculpture or and actions figure I don't care.
Hi CumAllOverHer, how's it hanging buddy? That figure is a sculpture and one of the last things I sold before I left for Japan.
When I get back home I'll give you a holler and probably could hook you up with a replica.
Today I had LUNCH with Valerie Wildman. I saw her outside my hotel room and said "Oh Dear GOD- Valerie Wildman is that really you?" to which she replied "YES. It indeed truely is, how do you like that then?" I liked it a lot and we started talking and then I proposed LUNCH.
Eating out in Japan is actually quite the hassle. As opposed to LA where you just drive around and look for a place where people generally ignore one another, Japan has got either REALLY expensive restaurants or places where gaijin aren't too welcome.
When I first got here I went to a little seedy sort of joint known as the no-panty Sushi Bar. The gimmick is that the waitresses don't wear panties and the floor is a huge mirror. So guess what I do when am with this milf? I fscking take her ass there (how classy eh?). She however surprised me because she started making some jokes about the girls waitressing.
LUNCH was sushi- we got one of those variety plates which come with virtually every type of sushi under the sun (normally for a party of 5-6 people) but dammit I was hungry and served by girls wearing no panties... it actually tasted pretty damn good. I think Valerie was wearing panties though- she didn't tell me otherwise
Tomorrow, if I don't die tonight, I'm going to venture out to Osaka to meet some pure degenerates. And these guys have porn geared for paedophiles readily sold in stores... it's pretty funny the shit that flies down here yet showing an open twat is the most TABOO thing on earth.
The World Cup kicks off tonight so I ain't sleeping sober!
Today I had LUNCH with Valerie Wildman. I saw her outside my hotel room and said "Oh Dear GOD- Valerie Wildman is that really you?" to which she replied "YES. It indeed truely is, how do you like that then?" I liked it a lot and we started talking and then I proposed LUNCH.
uuuhhh that's like in "Lost in Translation", only difference Bill Murray got Scarlet Johansson and you the milf.
I've been eating catering food on set for the past week. On Sunday I put my foot down. I told the producer, Masa, that I wanted some "proper" food. No more leaves and raw fish and slugs.
Masa: I have no idea how he gets his money, but the little button on my jacket told me he has "someone" give him money. He doesn't seem to do shit and he always has cash.
So at about 1pm Masa took me to a place in Hokkaido called Tokko House. The place was in a pretty "backdoor" neighbourhood which means 'don't come here without a Japanese guide if you is foreign". It's pretty easy to tell this because there are a lot of Bosozoku (biker gangs) in this area that terrorize foreigners.
Anyhoo- I sat down and Masa ordered for me in Japanese. "Not good idea to speak Engrish here. They think maybe you're rude okay?" OK. The waitress brought some sake and what I believe was chicken teriyaki but it was made with a really dark blackish sauce. "You sure this is good?" "MMM too good."
The food tasted fscking weird, but kinda good. Not yummy good, but mysteriously good- like it begged for attention from many testers. As I was eating some girls came into the place and introduced themselves to us- lots of bowing and "hai hai".
Masa then beckoned to me and asked quietly "this girl is crazy men, you want to see?". Curious and excited, I thought I was going to see the Japanese equivalent of Belladonna. The girls were cute and I wasn't exactly sure which one he was talking about because, to be perfectly honest, they all looked alike and eerily young.
I nodded naunchantly. He pulled one of the girls who had long dyed hair ([perhaps a wig) and began to tell her something to which she replied "itai" or "noooo" but she began to lower her blouse revealing a HUGE scare.
What the fsck is that? "Tori- pinku" which means "violent porn". This bitch was the most fscked up whore I've ever seen. Apprently, she's looking for work in videos where you get to dunk her in water, indulge her with rope-torture, whip her senseless- the works.
I've realized I'm in a fscked up community. It's not fscked up like the apocalypse or what one might except in the so-called "last days", this is more of a frustrated desire to understand the limitations of societies acceptance towards perverse mystery. I guess if it can be made, there will always be an audience, but I seriously doubt this girl is doing this of her own will. I've meet some very interesting people... most of them psychos ofcourse but others pretty normal. I meet one woman whose a dollmaker like myself but her house smells of urine and Masa later told me she keeps all her feces in plastic bags which she stores in a basement near the front door.
I've decided not to go with Masa for lunch ever again. I'm sticking to the catering we get on set. Some of the others guys laughed at me: "you don't rike?" they shrubbed; I didn't answer.

Today I discovered a place in Shinjuku called Jimpachi at the train station. This is a really good place to dine in Nippon if you are looking for a place that's not expensive, and if you know Japan, that's like finding a truthful person in LA. Unlike the other establishments around Shinjuku, Jimpachi is really half priced, spacious and cozy. Pretty fscking amazing!!
I decided to go for the Jimpachi Kushi which is fried chicken cartilage, fresh slices of raw amberjack, raw horsemeat and cow liver and petit fried potato. I also asked the waitress for the testers serving of jimpachi sushi (free upon request). All this for a mere 1.980 yen. (not bad).
Jimpachi is located 5 minutes from the JR Shinjuku Station at 5F, Seibu Shinjuku Ekimae Bldg., 1-25-3 Kabuki-cho, Shinjuku-ku and they're open daily.
Quote: I decided to go for the Jimpachi Kushi which is fried chicken cartilage, fresh slices of raw amberjack, raw horsemeat and cow liver and petit fried potato.
really though who would pair raw horsemeat with amberjack.
I had a plate full of sushi that cost me about $120 at the New Otani Hotel. The only good thing about dining here is they give you this card that gives you access to this lounge where you can watch tv, play video games, watch anime amongst other privlages.
I read a copy of Crying Freeman and chugged a whole tray of sushi while I prayed that Japan loses and Ghana advances to the final 16. How'd you break bread today?
Breakfast is my lunch today. I decided to eat the Tuna Ahi salad from Swingers on Beverly/Laurel today at 5am based on the timing of my dentist appointment at 9am. There's no way I can eat within a few hours after going to the dentist because it would feel like dirtying up his handywork, much like driving to Las Vegas right after having your car detailed.
Swingers is the L.A. 24 hour hipster Denny's, but purposely retro ambiance aside, the menu is eclectic, always fresh, and made from scratch. I had half of it in the restaurant, cozied up in a round booth by myself on my sidekick as MC5 played on the joint's juke. I looked around and there were a few other groups in there about my age and two MAWS (model/actress/whatevers) at the bar. This place is great for people watching and even celeb sightings. Once Missy Monroe, Jasmin Byrne, Jake Malone, a few guys from the RLD office and I went there on my suggestion to thwart Missy's request for Mel's Diner...gag. Jake and the guys were all wearing their RLD jackets and eating burgers when, ironically, who came in but Paris Hilton.
So, there was Paris Hilton in one corner of the restaurant and the crew from Red Light District in the other. Mind you, this was only 1 week after RLD started selling Paris's sex tape.
Missy dared us, in full RLD regalia, to approach Miss Hilton and discuss her blow job. We never did and left it as a funny Hollywood tale. Missy and I did get a close look at her later in line for the ladies room- great skin, but a bit of freckling and crystal blue eyes. Pretty, actually.
I had the rest of my Ahi salad to go after the MC5 cd finished. Despite each seared slice over a stack of mixed greens and steamed veggies being simply amazing, I was near full. Even the trendy restaurants are giving way to over sized portions. I grabbed my order, gave my uber hot waitress a fat tip, and rolled on out. Somewhere around Hollywood/Highland, I saw a homeless guy holding up a cardboard 'Will Work 4 Food' sign. I slowed down and slid down my window enough to get my salad through to him. He opened the bag and closed it back. "I don't like Romaine lettuce," he said and slid away down the Walk of Stars.
love the story about the homeless guy turning down your food Gia - "Will work for food" doesn't mean "any food"
About 10 years ago I was in Seattle with some friends and we started talking to a homeless guy as we waited in line at the 5-Spot. He seemed reasonably together - we offered to buy him bunch with us, and he accepted.
When we sat down to eat he ordered a decaf coffee and a chef salad, dressing on the side!
Udon and sushi for the past 5 days. I can feel my eyes getting smaller and my soul feeling more enriched. By the time am back home I will be a more enlighted being.
Didn't have time for food which pisses me off so I ate one of those protein bars for brunch and a big ole bottle of water and pomegranate white tea.
I hate cooking just for myself but I've starved myself enough in the last week or so, so I broke down to make Alfredo Sauce.
Some cream, butter, lil milk, loads of parmesan cheese, fresh garlic and asiago cheese all mixed in to a boil. Fresh ground pepper added. A little bit of finely chopped red and yellow bell pepper. OOOOOOooooooooooo so yummy!!!
I'm trying to reconcile the gagged Sub in your avatar, trussed up and drooling... with the Rockwellian image of a typical American homemaker, whistling a merry tune as she scurries buoyantly around her kitchen.
LUNCH today was traditional Afrikan food. I'm surprised there are even Afrikans in Nippon, and they even have little 90 page comic type books in the stores for your entertainment whilst you dine (sound familiar?).
On the menu: Samaki Mchele Viazi dengu
There was no established name for the meal except "mchele na dengu na samazi na viazi kando". Washed this down with sapporo. The guy who cooked the meal told me he used to run for Japan in the Oympics but as luck would have it, the Japanese no longer gave a shit about sport because now all they care about is keeping ahead in the electronics game. Bummer. Food was good, fantastic to have something other than raw fish and seaweed for a change.
The phone was so busy at work today I had no lunch at all! I always miss breakfast for my 6:45am starts so I bought a coffee scroll from the canteen. It cost me $2.40 Tonight for dinner I had cold baked beans and bread while I surfed the internet for porn

Today I saw Nelly Furtado and am convinced she's one of the hottest women alive. She's super short though, but her eyes were twinkling and she has a healthy pair of tits... very healthy I might add. Nice and supple breasts that would bare and supply a litter of children with nurishment. She was bouncing around and smiling. She has a kind of hookish nose that brought back memories when I used to bite my girlfriends nose when she was sleeping and she'd wake up and start to cry. I'd then bite it again and she'd tuck her face into the pillow and sob to sleep, then I'd tuck myself near her face so if I feel like biting her at night I'd do so.
Nelly Furtado doesn't eat LUNCH which was a total turn-off for me. Regardless of how HOT a woman is, a good meal is vital to support the bodies minerals and vitamins as well as producing some much needed daily poops. I told all this to Nelly (which is problematic in calling a woman because firstly it reminds me of a little boy then the picture morphs into that guy who raps about Air Force 1's). Nelly laughed and I saw her teeth because she opened her mouth the whole way and I could smell her breath. I think she had a mint and a strange vaccum from within her throat began to suck me inwards- inside the gaping maw of Nelly Furtado's mouth.
Once inside I realized that Nelly Furtado had either lied or had a really heavy breakfast. Pancakes, eggs and even a half buttered toast lay inside her stomach awaiting orders from her brain to begin the acid engesting process that we all take for granted.
We then listened to a song called "silizum" that was pretty good. Nelly (Furtado) was shaking and boucing as the music pourded out of the earphones, once again revealing her healthy supple breasts full of milk and vitamins and rich in protiens and calcium. If she gives birth to a healthy child, that child will not be denied this healthy nurishing drink that Nelly Furtado is making and not telling us about, perhaps because she is Portugese and this milk is what made the Portugese beat Merry Ol' England.
Today for lunch I ate eight 200gram yubs of yoghurt about 5 mandarines, 2 apples and 2 chocolate bars while looking at pics of Nelly on the internet and listening to Promiscuous Girl! I'm going into the city now to buy her new album!
Nelly Furtado has a song called Explode off of her sophmore effort titled Folklore where she sings:
It's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belong Got a shiner now and it's more than a battle scar More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break Such a good, good story to tell
Today because I'm not feeling well and am tired I listened to a song by her called Promiscuous Girl in which she sang;
How you doin’ young lady That feelin’ that you givin’ really drivin' me crazy You don’t haveta play about the joke I was at a loss of words first time that we spoke
then in the chorus I heard:
Promiscuous girl Wherever you are I’m all alone And it's you that I want
to which Nelly asserted:
Promiscuous boy You already know That I’m all yours What you waiting for?
Because I'm under the weather, the girlfriend made me some chicken soup stock which I ate slowly, then I passed out then I awoke again to eat some strawberry yoghurt in bed while watching A&E Crime shows.
It's amazing how I even managed to eat today, but nothing would stop me from enjoying a good LUNCH... not even the cold hand of death.
I managed to crawl out of bed at about noon today and slumped into the living room couch whilst the girlfriend made a salad and some pasta. The salad was HUGE and consisted of all the essentials; tomatoes, onions, cucumber slices, carrots, feta cheese, oregano, olives and some olive oil.
I then had a small plate of pasta and some lemonade to wash it down. I then sat back and onDemanded Cliffhanger. Man is this a funny movie. I seriously don't know what scriptwriters think when they write a story where the main character grabs ahold of a rope milliseconds before the guy is tossed 10,000 ft into a canyon. Then what the hell use is the FBI if a couple of Mountain Rescue guys can take out John Lithgow and his crew of shit-talking, baldheaded croonies solo?
My favorite part though is always the end, when the bad guy has one finally scream as he plummits into oblivion and a huge 'Hollywood' explosion is experienced.. Just another one of those moments that makes LUNCH the best time of day.
Quote: I rediscovered the American LUNCH today folks:
Peanut butter and jelly sandwitches, lays classic potatoe chips and pepsi cola.
Hits the spot everytime!
Why didn't that lunch get one of those wonderful, intangible, bizarre, sick, hilarious, inexplicably tied-in storylines? Another good LUNCH is tomato soup, a grilled cheese sandwich, and a glass of Chocolate Quikened milk. If I was a small boy I do it all different except for LUNCHES such as them.
El Pollo Loco now has something called "tequila lime chicken" which I have come to love. I ate it today, although the macaroni and cheese had clearly been sitting too long.
My favorite Mexican beer is Negra Modelo in the bottle with a slice of lime. If you haven't tried it, I suggest doing so because it is quite delicious and kickstarts a pleasant buzz. Three or four of these and I can forget about any productivity for the evening.
My friend Sparky used to bartend at this really shitty Mexican/ Tex-Mex/general soutwestern united states cuisine place called La Casita. The food was horrible and seemed even more so when Sparky introduced me to Ernie, the dirty Afro-American "chef" wearing his filthy apron and puffing a reefer with us in the back of the restaurant. Ernie talked about his 9 children from 6 different wives. He never received a paycheck because it was all docked for child support payments.
Sparky would substitute for the regular bartenders once or twice a month. I would go visit him and in exchange for toking him up with some sinsemilla, he'd drown me in free or heavily-discounted liquor and Mexican beer. They had some premium tequilas in really fancy bottles, like one was shaped like the mescal worm at the bottom of Mexican tequilas, yet made of glass and lying on it's side in a stand. These tequilas cost a hundred dollars (american) per bottle or more. I like tequila that doesn't require a beer chaser (or salt and lime for that matter). I overindulged in the bargain booze a few times and regretted getting drunk enough to order dinner from Ernie, the cook/scoundrel.
P.S. LUNCH was a rerun of breakfast today so I'll save it plus now I have a blasted headache to go with my flu.
Yesterday my friend Bal came to my place and we ended up hanging out the entire day which is why I didn't have time to update the LUNCH thread.
Bal is an actor and has been in some pretty catchy roles, mostly acting like a weirdo and kissing hot chicks. Actually, in one film he ended up mostly doing just this, which made me wonder what kind of acting skills he has.
Yesterday while talking to Bal we got into an argument about animals. You see Bal loves pets and I destest them. I don't see the point of locking up animals and supposedly caring for them. If someone truely loved an animal, they'd want to see it in it's natural habitat... not in their fscking living room sheeding hair and skin all over the party. So the question suddenly struck me- if 2 dog kennels were on fire and the dogs died.. would you be compelled to set fire to a 3rd dog kennel and kill a 3rd dog?
For LUNCH we had a ceasar salad and white bean and spinach crossaint. It was actually really good. My nose was blocked the entire time so I can't tell you about the taste.. I just know it was good because we both said "mmmm" a lot when we were eating. I then chocked my girlfriend before she went to sleep.
PS. I'm currently listening to Clifford Brown and the Max Roach Quintet. Music as smooth as shit from a duck's ass.
Today I had a very unique LUNCH. My girlfriend makes this cheese dip thats comprised of velvetta cheese and other secret ingredients she doesn't want me to reveal. The cheese dip is poured into a large bowl and chip scoops are plunged inside to scoop the mix and devour. I ate this stuff all afternoon until 3pm while I watched documentaries about people.
One particular documentary was about sex-addicts which embarassed me a lot because there was a man who said he actually tries to maintain errections for a very long time (think 5 hours plus). Another woman said she was into licking public things and showed some scenes of her licking public toilet seats. She said knowing that slimely men had sat their buttocks on those toilet seats got her aroused. She's from Texas too and not heavy as one might expect, but sheesh... another guy said he wanks even after having sex and sometimes hires prostitutes to watch him masterbate twice in a row. I felt sick at about 4:30pm... luckily my girlfriend came back home and told me a bed-time story and I snoozed and just woke up.
The weather was particularly lovely today. I imagined and hoped it was just as lovely on Venus.
My friend Neel always includes nudity in the films he makes. His last film had about 100 plus girls doing unimaginable things to one another- he had told them that his film represented the current fall of society and boy did they fall for that old chestnut.
He brought back some shots today... not the dailies but stuff he didn't think he was going to use so we could oogle at the girls and man let me tell you, most of these girls had lovely mellons. He said most were foreign and ate healthy diets which ensured that their bosoms grew to mouthwatering sizes. I'm trying to connect the dots.. to see a good healthy meal resulting in cupfull tits ripe with milk (like Nelly Furtado).
I ate the rest of the salsa mix with the scoop chips, but I'm hungry again so I'am waiting for some pork chops. I'm not going out of the house until Saturday because I've decided to compose an album. Nothing fancy...
HGey, assholoe. I am a great unwazshed. I'd cut you off in traffioc and kick you to derath nif I coiuld. None ofg my notions are qworthy odf art and proliferation., I want death for everyone.

Babe, you've gotta stop letting your tears crying out for the lost souls of whores from dripping onto the keyboard. It's ruining your stilo. :bananacrepes:
I started working on my album today. Basically I'm doing a concept of library songs and break-beat type stuff. I'm working on the high hats and strictly using REASON. I decided not to sample anything but strictly re-create anything I hear- therefore you can imagine how much vinyl purchasing I'm doing.
Most of today morning and afternoon I was downtown getting more records and didn't get home until well after 3pm which meant I missed LUNCH.
The girlfriend was just waking up so she wanted to make breakfast. So guess what I did... I had a breakfast LUNCH (and no... not Brunch.. I fscking hate that word.)
Pancakes, bacon and homemade fries and a cold glass of orange juice. DAMN did that hit the spot! I was admiring the album art while eating and smelling the covers which made my girlfriend angry so she tried to cut me with the butterknife. She's been getting more and more violent lately which now has me worried.
Sorry for the lack of updates recently, but yesterday I spent most of the day making music and watching The Lady in the Water.
I left for Warner Bros studios about 11am to watch a cut of this before it hits theatres coz M Night is super excited about it and Warner Bros are doing a bunch of promos for him to make they're money back. Damn they spent a lot of this shit... and after Disney bailed when M Night refused to change specific parts in the film, well, Warner Bros decided to take a risk hoping for a 6th Sense type of sucess. If you've seen the trailer.. they say M Night's name about 5 times.. and refer to The Village and Signs quite a few times just incase you forgot who M Night was.
I'm not going to get into the story because it would upset M Night's fans (if there are any on this board) but i'll tell you one thing.. after I watched it I couldn't wait to get home and get back to music making. OFcourse I had to do one more thing.... LUNCH.
I picked up a Moussaka and a pita. The pita is like a sandwitch, really bizarre mix and has a very organic taste to it while the moussaka is egg-plant dish favored mostly in the Balkan regions of the planet. I washed this down with a Pilsner before heading home at about 5pm.
At this point I was tired so I put on the Science channel and feel asleep to Carl Sagan talking about Venus being hotter than the hottest oven in the house. I was awoken at about 7pm by my girlfriend and her friend Karla from Brazil. They were home and demanding food. Typical!!!
I made music until the wee hours of the night.. woke up late today and preparing myself for another exciting lunchtime adventure. Life is one big lunar module.
Alrighty. It's 3:15pm PT and time to make a LUNCH report.
I just got back from Sparky's place. That guy is living good. He smoked a marijuana ciggerette while I went through his vinyl collection. He has a lot of vinyl records because he collects the art. I found a couple of cool Swedish sounds which I've decided to leaf for a while and encode to mp3 then check the wave lengths to better understand how they were made. While I tried to explain all this to Sparky he blew a large cloud of smoke in my direction and I began to cough from the drugs intoxication aroma. I craved a beer at this moment.
Spark and I left his place at around 1pm and dashed straight to Alejo's Presto Trattoria. It was Sparky's idea not mine. He grabbed an Italian Pizza large size and ordered one for me. I didn't mind since he offered to pay. I was so amazed at how fast he ate.. inbetween chomps of his meal he was saying stuff to me like "mmm remember that time we were in Mombasa and had Carbonara's on the beach in honor of Gabrielle Tinti? This reminds me of that time."
As silly as it sounds, that actually brought back good memories and made today's LUNCH pretty special.
We got home to find my girlfriend had brought down one of my dolls. This was strange behavor from her and I suspect it has something to do with Karla because she's pretty judgemental of me. She put the bug in my girlfriends ear that I might be cheating on her (which I'm not) and further made absurd sugestions as to the reason I have dolls in the house. It hasn't ticked me off... Sparky's leafing through my DVD collection and I'm going back to making some tunes. Every heard of Jeannette. They made some spacy stuff back int he early 60s. I'm digging the sound. When the gf gets home am going to tie her up and hang her just like my doll was hanging.
My friend Tommy came over today to see me. Tommy is the best photographer I know and he's the best person to have around when your trying to get ideas. There's just something about him that makes him work like some of conduit for transmitting ideas and making ones mind race.
While my girlfriend was on the balcony yacking it up with one of her friends over the phone Tommy and I made a dash to BK. The quest for the perfect LUNCHEON entails in leaving no rock unturned and no cracks unexplored.
I ordered the Double Whopper w/ cheese- which is an ingenious name the good people at BK came up with for distinguishing their sandwitch from McDonald's Big Mac. These titles also work in making the consumer think they are eating something unique: but the Whopper (just like it's rival the Big Mac) consist of processed meat inbetween a bun, lettuce, chopped onions and an insanely large sized tomato. Fries come as side order for the meal value pack with a large soft drink. Tommy went with the Specialty Chicken Sandwich, this time the meat is substituted with chicken. Not very well done but it's designed to satisfy a quick hunger.
Afterwards we went to the bookstore to grab a couple of magazines. This music making has me researching everything and music production and I don't want to be left behind when it comes to knowing which kit does what best. Tommy has a cool website going on and checks his blog every so often. It's mostly for photography nuts who post strange pictures of random things they like to take pictures of. I find it kinda stupid, but when he shows me the pictures I start to wish I had a blog of my own where people can show me stuff they have taken pictures of. Well, maybe some day I will.

Deeply offensive on many levels. This sort of preening puerile slumming is indicative of the indecisive and amorphous scatterbrains of dilettante. But in the end I wish you the best in your works because works are of value no matter from where.
Today I got a call from John Legend. He's the man who won the AIWA Women's Wrestling Championship. As a Rockabilly Rebel he admitted "I Itch Like A Son of A Bitch". I don't know how he got my number, neither did I ask him, I simply said "Sup Baby. What's shaking?" His reply was equally street; he said "Nada. Chillin' here with a brew." He talked a little bit about a car he bought and I think something about a Murder book he was reading for about 25 minutes until he told me the real reason he had called. Supposedly he saw some work I did for a German company about Child Traffiking and it "caught his attention". So he tracked me down... but how he got my number was never explained. I didn't understand what he said next because his accent became very heavy... I interrupted him and said my hamster was sick and I had to attend to it, but that was all lies... I have no hamster and I hate PETS.
Anyway- I ran into the kitchen and now I have a strict policy of NOT answering the phone. I even hate the sound of the ringer. My girlfriend had made a fruit salad and forced me to eat it. When I refused she jumped on me and pinned me down (she's an Aikido blackbelt) twisted my ankle and began chocking me. It's at this point when I resorted to the nerdy "resistance is futile" mode and ate the bloody fruits. I got hungry again so I got some mashed potatoes and broiled chicken I had left from last night and heated that baby up and grabbed a cold pepsi from the fridge.
It's now 5 minutes to 7pm. I've made 3 original tracks that I'm confident I'll keep. I've argued with 2 people and rejected nobody in invitations. I figure at around 8 I will start toasting the night away and by midnight I'll be pretty hammered. I'm plotting to go see Sparky but something tells me he's got a chick at his place and might see my presence as a cock block.
Today I had raclette for LUNCH. I cooked it myself because my girlfriend was asleep. I was awake reading a sci-fi novel.
Raclette is French, but most popular in Switzerland and is essentially melted cheese, served over boiled potatoes with lots of ground black pepper, accompanied by small pickled onions and gherkins.
I normally don't think much about porn when having LUNCH (which I can only surmise as being healthy) but for some strange reason I rediscovered Buttwoman VS Buttwoman. I think thats one of the most pefect porns ever made. Tiffany Mynx and Charlene Aspen... DAMN!
I think she just puts it all on for the cameras but I'd really like to see her in a movie that shows off her personality I hope it wouldn't be one about a struggling musician growing up in a poor neighbourhood who eventually makes it big although I would watch her in anything
Quote: Shes one of the HOTTEST women alive. I'm going to make a movie with her.
I hope it is the long awaited big budget movie adaptation of Mailer's 'Ancient Evenings'. It is the film the world needs right now. Fully fleshed out with no trims to maximize box office. Monstrously expensive and monstrously pornographic. And monstrously beautiful.
Today I had 2 hot dogs, some fries and a pepsi. I watched Tom and Jerry and a little bit of quality 70s T&A courtesy of Threes Company.
I am recovering from my weekly night at the Circle A, the local watering hole. Last night I meet Vibe Raider from Madison. Some of you might know her as "Cherise" as she is more commonly known as. We rocked out well past 2 AM, so my ass is dragging today. Sometimes making it to lunch is the most important part of my day!
Quote: I watched Tom and Jerry and a little bit of quality 70s T&A courtesy of Threes Company.
They don't make cartoons like that anymore. I like the older ones better when Tom and Jerry weren't friends.
I love watching the original old school Jonny Quest reruns. I really enjoy the artistry and style of the show. Oh yeah, ramen instant noodles chicken flavor for lunch today.
Quote: They don't make cartoons like that anymore. I like the older ones better when Tom and Jerry weren't friends.
+1 I fucking hated when they would screw with a established successful formula / storyline .... Like when Sylvester and Tweety teamed up with the Big Bull Dog to counteract the effects of some fucked up grownup, like Grandma after she drank some kinda spiked prune juice that turned her into a jekyl&Hyde monster sometimes...etc etc etc...it sucketh....
Well some bad news (or not....) ... Taylor MOFO Rain et al probably also likes Jonny Quest cuz her Dog is NAMED precisely the same as Jonny's Dog.....
Roger "race" Bannon was a Lethal Mofo...Dr Quest was a tool and about as interesting and dynamic as A malnourished Turnip Pulled from a garden filled with depleted soil. Hadji was the only interesting character because he knew some Magic tricks, and probably a few Beautiful Hott Indian Hindu Tantric Love goddesses he'd invite up to his room and allow Jonny to pull his imperialistic pudd IN STYLE!!!
Today I had a lettuce, tomato, and cucumber salad topped with an amazing "ken's steak house" brand caesar dressing. I followed this with a butter-drenched, heavily salted/peppered baked potato and a grilled lamb chop. This delicious luncheon I washed down with an iced cold Samuel Adams Boston lager. prost!
I'm six songs deep on my "album". I think I'm going to contact someone about releasing this as a limited piece. If your a record producer/promoter hit me up and let's do buisness.
I was going to go out today but I didn't because I feel tired. Also I found this funny video my friends and I made a long time ago when we used to go to the casino every weekend just to get FREE drinks. I mean.. how fscking childish is that?
Once, after leaving the casino real late, we went to one of the posh malls next door to look for a bathroom, but because it was late, the poor sod that has to clean the place had locked up. So I came up with the brilliant idea of pissing on the seats of the restaurant in the mall (one of those posh restaurants that you'd only eat at just so you can see yourself being seen the same way you've always seen people eat just to be seen). So I start pissing on the plants and seats and even trying to get some on the table. My friends follow and we're laughing and making ill comments.
As we're about to finish, some security guy immerges from the floor. Turns out this chap is supposed to be working security but instead takes a nap on the floor and our pissing woke him up- either from the urine splashes or our laughing. He's super pissed and tries to grab one of us but we high tail it outta there and he's left only with the evidence on his clothes.
Now heres the kicker- I don't know whether this is just me, but as soon as I saw this chap I somehow STOPPED peeing. My firends had to force themselves to finish while another guy just ran with his todger dangling and still weeing as he went. Somehow I'm the only one who just on the fly stopped peeing. It still bafles me.
Enuff about that... you people really want to know about what I had for LUNCH.
Today I had a Philly steak pita. Now the strange thing is I recently discovered I don't enjoy these pitas but somehow... my girlfriend always finds a way of feeding them to me.
My pita came with luttuce, tomatoes, onions.. tzaziki sauce and some BBQ sauce because... if you eat a pita without a lot of sauce, it's very dry which again, I don't like. I washed this not-so-very delicious lunch with a large Pepsi cola soft-drink.
For LUNCH I went to an overly priced local Italian restaurant La Piazza Cucina Italiano. Great ambiance, but short on taste. I ordered penne chicken with vodka sauce and was disappointed with how bland my meal was. I'll give it another shot later this summer to see if my first meal was an abberation.
I want somebody to help me. I feel erosis elation and the worst sort of despair at the same time. It's a sort of agiatation I are woerfully equipt to deal toward as they say. Quinne and women like her though they be few are ground zero for something that is everything and merciful nothing, like that light the Great Ghastly reached out towards in a sort of faglike gesture though hearbreakingly sincsear. I wish I had words for this. I really, really, really like Quinne. A whole lot. And this makes me feel like I want to die.
I'm glad how this thread is turning out. It's got the perfect balance of pictures of hot chicks and discussions concerning delicious luncheons. This is truely a world outside porn.
And yes... I ended up getting a Sashimi Sushi combo plate with 17 pieces of delicious ebi, Ika, maguro, saba, tako and some fugu. I washed this delicious raw fish with a hot cup of green tea.
I ordered the double-decker Big Boy hamburger. Sesame seed top bun, dill pickle, big boy special sauce, a slice of American cheese, shredded lettuce, a toasted sesame seed bottom bun sandwitching a beef patty. The hamburger came with french fries and a soft drink of Pepsi.
Was that Big Boys or Bob's Big Boy? I haven't been to Bob's Big Boy in yrs. They just re-opened one in Torrance late last year and I still havent gone. Looks like Im going there tonight.
Today I grazed at home with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, carrots and cabbage, peanuts, cucumbers, sunflower seeds, shredded cheddar, spinach leaves, croutons, and ranchers dressing.
i want to thank you for the suggestion of the Kens Creamy Caesar. the past two days i have been putting it on my lunchtime salad at Giant's Salad Bar for $2.99 a pound. It has a great taste!
Hey, Lipshitz. How you doing. The cheddar and the ranch will offset the fibre in such a way as to give you a well rounded and pleasant consistancy of poop and or poops possibly. I know it's kind of uncouth to ask this in this thread, but how does the decision back towards making music refer to the salad, if at all?
elaborator: glad to know this luncheon thread has been beneficial to you as that remains it's secondary purpose, it's first being a search for the perfect luncheon
Quote: I know it's kind of uncouth to ask this in this thread, but how does the decision back towards making music refer to the salad, if at all?
Ejaculate: remember the film The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Remember when Tuco poses as Bill Carson then get's questioned by Angel Eyes. Angel Eyes asks Tuco whether he'd like to listen to some music to which Tuco answers: "Some music? Suuuure! I like music; very good for the digestion."
I forgot to mention, I was asked to exhbit a special piece for some artsy type organization. It was supposed to be today and I heard some familar names were in attendance. I personally didn't go, but I sent them this to add to their collection. Perhaps one of you out there went and enjoyed yourself.
I do remember that. Very well. The prisoners sing and one of them cries and Ratface has a behemoth kick the living shit out of Eli Wallach and asks "How's your digestions now?". :bananaface: By the way, Eli Wallach is a wonderful actor who plays the Italian in 'Babydoll' one ofr the greatest movies of all times. He skillfully gropes young, dumkb Suthun womanchild Carroll Baker in her yard swing in such a way as to make her swoon without making a sensual connection in her conscious mind.
I'm dying for a theraputic LUNCH and today wasn't it. I fell out of bed at around noon (or just before). Last night I had one of those moments where you swear this is your last drink and will never drink again, but then when I woke up I realized that ain't happening anytime soon.
I made some Chicken Teriyaki with white rice and washed this delicious meal down with water.
Today I woke up @ 9am, pretty early for me... I had to catch a glimpse of Christian Volckman's flick Renaissance. It reminds me of Sin City... but I'm not exactly sure how good it was because I kept falling asleep. My eyes were so heavy the entire time. I had to mark on a card what I thought of certain elements such as the animation, music, score etc and I can't remember what I ticked though... but I definately didn't give Dodd high marks (that I can be certain of).
I came home around noon and decided to have an early LUNCH. I didn't want to go out because I didn't feel like getting out of the house again so I made a Cherry Fruit Salad with Orange Yogurt Dressing.. I saw it done on the Food Network Channel once and had been raving to try it. Today was that special day.
I used 2 cups of Northwest cherries (pitted), a fresh pineapple which I cut into spears, a grapefruit peeled and cut, an orange peeled and cut, a melon cut in spears, and some toasted sliced almonds. I then arranged the cherries, pineapple, grapefruit, orange and melon on a serving dish; sprinkled the almonds and served it with the Orange Yogurt Dressing.
*Side Note: This was an extremely lovely LUNCHEON and I must say (not to advertise that channel) they do have some lovely stuff they recommend their viewers to try. I will have to watch it more often.
At the time I was watching that stupid show Dog The Bounty Hunter. Has anyone else noticed how big Beth's mellons are? Beth by the way is Dog's wife. She tried to run today and I swear I was just waiting for one boob to flop out and land on her son's head. Unfortunately they were going after crackhead females and this was a pretty digusting thing to watch while enjoying such a lovely meal, so I changed it to some French cartoons and reclined then snoozed.
Today I went to Angelini Osteria on Beverly Blvd. The diminutive space it offers is supposed to carry a vibe of accessibility and selectiveness but this couldn't be further from the truth today.
I arrived there about 12:30pm. Maybe this is the time everybody eats LUNCH because this place was packed, and the worst part was the crowd. You know how you have people who go somewhere in large packs just to draw attention to themselves? They pack a party of say 8-12 people in a Limo then whiz over to a restaurant such as this, then have the waiter chap squeeze two tables together then engage in boring loud converstation that causes the female part of the party to burst into obnoxious laughter that causes others in the restaurant to turn and share in the joke? This was the situation today.
I was sat at the back (in the dim light to avoid people looking at me) but just two tables away was a party of idiots. I say this because I couldn't help but overhear what they were talking about and I will definately spare you the details.
I ordered an affetati misti. For those that don't eat Italian much let me introduce you to my little piece of Florence.
Affettati Misti technically means cold sliced meat often served with fresh or mature pecorino, ricotta or raveggiolo cheeses, fresh raw beans or figs. Because it's a simple meal, most of the ingredients are required to be fresh. Angelini Osteria, because they obviously studied their craft, offer this exqusite dish with mortadella, prosciutto di parma, bresaola, salame and burrata. I ordered a glass of wine with my meal, which the waiter forgot to include in my bill... perhaps he thought it was worthy since I had to endure the annoying party just two tables down, or perhaps he just has a bad memory, whatever the case I didn't mention his error.
I'm starting to dislike going out. Maybe it's the crowds or maybe it's just me, but I think staying at home and preparing my own meals is becoming more exciting than finding one of these eateries. So where'd you graze today?
I can't help it. I'm addicted to sushi sashimi. I called up Naoki and asked her to bring me some sushi sashimi consisting only of eel, shrimp and crab. I had about 6 pieces and some miso soup and green tea to jug this enlightening meal down.
Naoki is the person whom I share the most with, but know the least. She's a consant wonder to me everyday. She wears extremely extravagant clothing she tailors herself from the ideas she gets from magazines she reads backwards. Some of the clothing (which she and fellow girls her age refer to as costumes) come from film inspirations, others are get-ups from Punk, Elvis while others are from gothic lore. Sometimes I believe her ideal goal is to be a walking life doll... other times I believe she just wants to look cute. I'm not very sure... because her Engrish isn't very good and therefore she cannot express herself fully.. but she's very creative and knows how to make sushi.
Today I had a Fricadelle with German fries for LUNCH. I made it myself. I learnt how to do this whilst visiting Swizerland. Fricadelle's are elongated meatball's made with ground meat and a variety of complementary ingredients and seasonings. It may be deep-fried or slow-cooked in a stew. I always add Pilsner to my Fricadelle because it adds that certain richness in the meal.
I usually purchase Belgian Blue Beef for my Fricadelle and use nutmeg, salt, pepper for seasoning. I've known people who use different ingredients but this is all a matter of taste. Now you may not know this, but in Belgium, the fries are much thicker.. and fried differently.. hence the choice to make my fries this way to compliment the delicious Fricadelle. To polish off this exqusite meal I downed some Pilsner Urquell. I left some for the girlfriend, so she won't cry when she gets home. POSHT!
Today I needed a little comfort food, and walked over to an upscale hotel restaurant where I demolished a Reuben sandwich made with turkey pastrami and house-made sauerkraut.
Thin cut fries with garlic aioli on the side. Bottle of Fiji water to chase.
soopergrizz, that truely does sound like a magnificent lunch. Can you imagine today my girlfriend and I made Chapattis? I used to eat this bread when I visited Afrika to participate on cycle safaris. Usually I'd walk into little restaurants known as kiosks and request the kind sirs behind the register to serve me this delicious food. It's suggested that it comes from India, but this is false. The Indian bread is known as roti or nun. This chappti food I believe originates from the South Eastern part of Afrika which is inhabited by Swahili people. I know this because of how it is eaten, but I won't get into that right now...
I taught my girlfriend how to make chappatis a month ago and now shes pretty good. Let me remind the reader that chappatis are pretty difficult to make, unless one is skilled like the Swahili people. While she made these breads, I made the stew.. a mixture of rice, beans, soup, potatoes, carrots, onions.. all the good stuff. I boiled this mixture and poured it into two bowls. We then scouped the stew into the chappati and feed. It was yummy... and we did it right.
Today I woke up at around noon and decided to have a very light breakfast... just yoghurt. My girlfriend had hot pockets. We still had some chapptis left over from last night so I knew what was on the menu for LUNCH. The key decission was to decide what kind of stew to have with it (since we'd finished the stew I made yesterday).
I decided to make some rice and potatoes with a traditional African sauce. The flavoring for this is imported from the African coast and used for most stews. Ideally, one can eat chappti without soup, stew or food (so its good when you've got the late night munchies) but if one wants to reap the full potential of this bread, then one must enjoy it with something complimentary.
We watched Scooby Doo on Zombie Island while we ate. It was on Cartoon Network channel. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, being that I haven't watched Scooby since my early years as a worm... the only difference was some of the characters and comics weren't as "naturally" thought out and sometimes felt a little forced. Still, some real good family fun with a very enjoyable and fulfilling LUNCH.
Today was the return of my friend Levi. He's was away on vaction with his lady far away, and today he returned. We yacked for quite a while on the phone (very rare for me because I hate telephones) but I'm happy he's back.
We finished yacking about 1pm which just happened to be my favorite hour of the day. I didn't even boink the girlfriend which shows you how excited I was.
Last night I had made some Beef stroganov; a Russian meal that consists of pieces of beef prepared with cream sauce. All I had to do today was heat up the stroganov and feast.
I usually use 2 lbs of well-marbled beef tenderloin for my stroganov but I've actually heard of people that use more which I find pretty absurd. Whatever the case, I love it this way. It's a very typical Russian meal so afterwards I feel pretty strange.
I just watched Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I'm not sure why I watched this film, because I really shouldn't have. It was possibly the most stupid film I've seen since Binkini Girls on Dinosaur Planet, with the only exception being that film actually was aware of it's lack of plot and made up for this by having nude girls. This film seems to be devoid of even self awareness. I might watch Oliver Stone's World Trade Center later tonight, but I really don't want to. It's just not my cup of tea.
Today I spent most of my day at Sparky's house. Sparks just got a new big screen plasma television which he's very excited about. I warned him about buying such things but he doesn't listen to me. I told him to wait until someone gets it for him, me for instance, but now he's gone ahead and purchased it himself. He's also hooked up a hi-tech music system which he has then hooked up to his ipod. He has them all in the living room, so when you walk into the house, it's the first thing you see. If you miss it, he has to point it out to you by saying something like "how do you like my new 40inch screen?" or something to that effect. It doesn't matter whether you show interest or not, but the next thing he does is point out the features like he's trying to sell you one.
Anyway- we sat watching has "plasma television" and talking about this and that. I had brought over a couple of anime dvds to check out- some real violent stuff I picked up whilst in Japan. We put this in around 12:25pm which meant LUNCH was approaching FAST!!
About 12:58pm I ran into the kitchen. I have a problem with Sparky and thats his lazyiness when it comes to food. He can put cheese on bread and pass it off as a sandwich. Once he served me top ramen (not that theres anything wrong with it), but I'd be more than happy to whip something up rather than eat something that doesn't hold my stomach right you get my drift?
Anyway- Sparky doesn't have much in his fridge, but that didn't phase me even one bit.
I found some Italian bread, 8 inches long and sliced it lengthwise. I got 1/2 cup avocados and chopped them up. I spread about 3 tablespoons mayonnaise on the bread.. got 5 slices roasted turkey breast out of fridge and cut these into thin slices; got 4 pieces and swiss cheese and spread these inside the bread, got some lettuce and shredded it, got 1 red onion and sliced that up, got a 1/4 of a dill pickle and chopped that up... sprinkled these ingredients over the layered turkey spread, avocado cheese etc. I found some vinger so I drizzled this on the sandwich then finally cut the hoagie in half. I got out a couple of Miller Lites from the fridge which is what we used to wash down this Italian style turkey sandwich LUNCHEON.
I went downtown today to the studio to drop off some scripts. Nobody ever told me Lindsay Lohan was a freak... or did someone say this? Was it Malice who made a thread about Lindsay having pornstar ethics? Oh man- the stories I heard today would rival any porn gossip. Maybe I should get to know some of these poptarts. Are there any other girls as "horny" as she?
LUNCH: I went downstairs to eat (and hopefully bump into Miss Lohan). I had 2 chicken quesadillas filled with jack cheese and topped with guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo. I washed this down with a passion fruit drink.
I then went to a large bookstore and purchased 4 books (2 about radios, 1 a mystery novel and the other one about some chick that dies and some weird stuff happens somewhere). OH- and I also got Cycling74 max MSP v4.3
Now I'm kicking it listening to arkestral sounds from beyond the ether.
Today I watched that film Pulse. It comes out tomorrow so if your a horror buff I take it you've already bought your tickets. I personally only went to see it because of Kristen Bell.. I think she's kinda cute. Her eyes hollow into her eye sockets in a strange way that intrigues me, and I believe she wears brown polka dot panties daily. It turns out that she can't act, and the filmmakers can't make her look like she's acting, so this is another diaster from start to finish. Sort of disaster actually, it's more of a failed-rip off attempt at a film called Kairo. What this film lacks, that Kairo has, is character. You cannot possibly try and re-make something that you don't fully understand yourself, nor can you expect to tell a story of something you cannot comprehend.
Unfortunately the film ran way into the LUNCH hour so I when I finally (and thankfully) got out of the studio, I went home and started on dinner. Girlfriend showed up around 3pm and found me already started on Chicken Dijon. I hope you know how to make this because it's a classic french LUNCHEON experience.
Today I stayed home because I had to do an interview on some Norwegian radio show. I also had to do an interactive java chat with some of the users. You wouldn't believe how off topic I took things. I think the guys who logged on (and those listening) were waiting for me to say something deep and meaningful that they could take back with them and recount for others but this was not the case. Infact, I had a porn playing in the background (check the review page for title and thoughts).
I didn't get hungry so I kept things simple. A bagel with creme cheese and raspberry preserves. Also I had a tub of coffee ice-cream which I gulped by the spoonful. Water and homemade lemonade was also consumed.
No I'm not. If I was I'd have flooded this entire message board a long time ago with rants about how drunk I am everyday and how much I hate Roger Avary.
I know exactly who slopdog is. And I'm going to tell you. Lovenope is that guy what Kubrick consulted to make a puppet boy for that script 'Artificial Intelligence' before Kubrick died and willed it to Spielberg. This nasmeless fellow attracted Kubrick's attention with some cleverly peverse and unsettling videos for Aphex Twin or some such fucktard limelight noiserock outfight. Anyways, the snotlight tipped his hand when he told the story of the Japanese businessman which begged him for a sex doll proximation of a tiny animatic girl. This was limpnoise's reconfigured and allegorical representation of his dealings with Mr. Kubrick, who would only deal with him through phone & fax, never in persons.

Unlike Mister loopnode, who apparently makes a huge production out of lunch, I prefer a much simpler meal for the mid-day. Lunch has always been a light meal that gets you through the afternoon grind in order to arrive at a solid dinner. This afternoon when I awoke from a gorgeous slumber I first pulled several slices of Pepperidge Farm'sâ„¢ 100% whole wheat bread and placed them into the toaster. The rough texture of this hearty wheat bread combined with a nice toasting are perfect pairings. I next placed a thick layer of Frenchiesâ„¢ Yellow Classic mustard followed by a single slice of a Kraft singlet cheddar cheese. The final addition was two slices of Smart Deliâ„¢ roast style turkey veggie protein patty, as I am a vegetarian. I complimented this delicious sandwich with some Laysâ„¢ lightly salted potato chips and a glass of ice-cold Coca-Colaâ„¢.
Hey, it's my buddy droptone. I introduced him to Lays chips. At the time he was arguing in favor of another type of potatoe chip but after tasting lays I think his soul was at peace. He's also more perverted than me.
I totally forgot to say what I ate for LUNCH. So here goes:
Swordfish steak w/lemon--a little too blandly prepared though...prefer it with a crust of sesame and perhaps some peppercorns. Two glasses of estancia pinot noir.
I had to venture out during my feature dance stay in the dumpshack food-lacking town of Selma, NC. My friend W, from LA, drove up from his other house in a nearby town. We packed up and headed 2 hours east towards the Trent River where we ended up in beautiful historical New Bern.
En route, we stopped at a gas station where I bought a bottle of Deer Park water, answered the Crackberry, and fwd'd an email at the register. People gathered from all around and asked what kind of device that was.
New Bern was the original capitol of N. Carolina and the birthplace of Pepsi. Did you know that Pepsi was called 'Brad's Drink' and was invented by an md to cure dispepsia aka indigestion?
Down the street from the first Pepsi store ever was an antique shop and our lunch at Morgan's Tavern and Grill. By far the best restaurant in New Bern, Morgan's has vaulted wood ceilings, a veranda, and a banquet hall. W drank a black+tan and ordered the Mango Grilled Grouper. I had the cold lump crab salad with a heavenly cilantro dijon dressing with a side of cinnamin apples. Since we were spitting distance to the Atlantic Ocean, the seafood was fresh and amazing.
Today I had something called "Soul Food". I've heard this term before; three times actually. The first time was when a writer friend of mine from New Orleans introduced me to Southern Cuisine. She said "this is soul food, you outta try it out!" I did. The second time was from Nicole Ari Parker. She played Becky Barnett in Boogie Nights. Shes so hot. She appeared in a television show called Soul Food which was about family coming together during meal times and discussing and coming to terms with their problems. This tv show I didn't enjoy.
Anyway, the "Soul Food" i ate was prepared by an artist friend of mine. He's very strange, but droptone likes him. There was mashed potatoes, gravy, fried chicken so crispy and succulent, pork ribs so tender the meat was falling of the bone, fried catfish, shrimp, red beans, black eyed peas, mashers, collard greens and sweet corn on the cob. This was really sweet.
For drinks we only had a choice of Corona beers (requested because the gf prefers this light island beer), so I picked one of these and some water. We talked and talked then I said "Can I borrow your computer? I want to tell my friends what I'm eating because they like to hear that sort of stuff."
I'm going back downstairs in a few minutes; after I make sure nobody has replied to posts I've made since I logged on. Oh- and droptone ain't here. He wasn't invited.

I have a sincere question for you. What sort of feelings does this lovely young woman harbor at Anderson for having cut her character arc out of 'Boogie Nights'? He has a reasonable explanation for this on the DVD commentary, but he subsequently similarly cut out a black character subplot in the troubled 'Magnolia'.
Her character's marriage in the film Boogie Nights gets married, and Nicole, at the time, was not as seasoned an actor as she is today. I believe Anderson prefered to explore other characters more (such as the turbulent Durk Diggler and the submissive Buck Swope). Did you also notice the Nina Hartley character wasn't developed as much? This was the producers decission. I was on that set and can tell you everything that transpired.
I still get shivers when I watch the scene when Becky says "Sexual Chocolate. Oh come-on Buck you don't have to lash off like that." Her lips and chocolate skin.. her eyes... it's dreams.
Hartley's character was a one noter and a set up for Macy. I always assumed her role was just a courtesy for her input as technicasl advisor. But Becky Barnett is clearly developed early on as a young woman looking for Love in the traditional sense, often striking out in as endearingly clueless a manner as Cheadle's character does. Her deleted scene involving her disastrous marriage to a man who cannot forgive her pornography past seemed to me to be a logical follow through in the film's construction and in any case did not take up much screentime. I think Anderson is a genius in exactly the same way as the young Speilberg, more skilled than purely intuitive, but he has a careerist discretion that bubbles up, at least in those earlier movies, that causes odd second guesses like this example. I still think he's the best young thing Hollywood has going for it at present.
Actually Hartley was there because Anderson felt the need to include her in his film since, like me, growing up- he was a big fan of her Anal Annie series (particularly Anal Annie and the Willing Husbands).
On the way to yogahop, I stopped at Euphoria is Rawvolution in Santa Monica. It's all raw/uncooked food made from veggies, nuts, seeds, and fruit. No meat, dairy, or stupid soy. Had the hamburger with extra onions, pickles, ketchup, and mustard and a seaweed salad on the side. I'm so full I can barely go to class.
Good to be back home, but I do enjoy my Christmas ornaments I bought at Cracker Barrel in Smithfield, N Carolina on my feature dance trip.

Cracker Barrel has the best Chicken Fried Steak or Country Fried Steak (whatever they call it) ever lensed. I also love the dumplings. Man I haven't eaten there since I drove out to porno valley from Florida back in '99.

Thank you, thank you, but the question stands. If the hotties aren't gonna eat the beans, I'll have to call the farm and rotate back to corn. Ethanol baby!!!

soy = estrogen. not such a bad thing for women, but horrible for men. avoid avoid avoid
Today I woke up early because I had to get some sheet music from a dude called Webb (I like calling him Webster because he's short but unlike that character, he makes really good music). I had to get the sheet music because I have this Scottish bird coming over today to play her fiddle and sing high notes on a track I'm currently creating.
On the way home I stoped at Chipotle. I used to tell my friends I'd never make it a habbit to frequent this place but of late I've done really good in avoiding it. Today though I felt guilty again. I almost didn't go.
I settled for the Fajita Steak Burrito. This is just like a burrito but with sauteed peepers and onions instead of beans and comes with guacamole. The steak they say, has been marinated for hours in chipotle adobo then grilled.
The lady behind the counter said she hasn't seen me in ages and gave me a FREE soft drink in an attempt to make me a frequent customer. I told her I'm trying to watch my figure, paid and left.
I ate my food at home and thought about whether I'd like it if Cheryl Hines posted on this message forum.
Well perverts, this afternoon I rose from my slumber around 1 PM Eastern Standard Time due to a disgusting telephone call from Mister loopnode, and had an awkward tweak in my back. I popped several pieces of pita bread into toaster. Two pieces went with the last of a delicious tub of hummus, and another two pieces were filled with some cheese I had laying around the fridge. After this beginning, I felt like I could have a bit more to eat so I pulled out the last slice of Dominos veggie lover's pizza and chomped down on that. While I do not like pizza too much, I do not like to let things go to waste and no one else in this house eats leftovers. To clean out my throat of any contaminants I filled a glass with ice and coca-cola, as I am not a Pepsi man. A rather benign lunch for today.
Additionally Miss Jordan, I have to plead with you to stop complimenting my great state of North Carolina in order to keep all the perverts who lurk on these nether-regions of the internet in the dark of its greatness. All of us from NC would appreciate if you would praise Idaho or maybe New Jersey instead as those states are worthless yet far enough from us.

Is the reverse true: a lack of soy will prevent reproduction?
Now you know I am joking, right? But I'm willing to bet that at least 3 Porn Valley whores will ernestly consider the idea in their minds before realizing how stupid it is.
Well thanks for the answer, though it sounds like a bunch of subversive hippie crap to me.
Sorry for the hijack LoOp, I had the $8 turkey sandwich at Grayhawk with wheat bread, let/tom/mayo/must and BBQ chips. The girl behind the counter was hot as sun. I shot in the 90's.
Today I was in Torrance. I was to meet the girlfriend at Christine for LUNCH. We had lunch early (around noon) because she had to make a mad dash back to to work as there were some execs coming to her office.
Christine is a two-level type restaurant. The chef, I believe, has been influenced by Mediterranean culture because this place is a slice straight out of Greece.
Anyway, we sat upstairs. We started with the crispy calamari with red onion remoulade. My girlfriend hates calamari so she had very little of this, leaving me to polish the rest off.
Wasn't too hungry, but was in the Valley, so I stopped in at Leaf. It's a new raw restaurant. Raw stuff is perfect for the summer because everything is chilled and fresh. I had the chocolate shake made from almond milk, bananas, coconut, and carrob.
I loved how the carrob chips were diced finely and fit through the straw in this delicious drink. Now I'm craving strawberries.
Today has been a rollercoaster for me. First off I woke up late. I was having this dream that world was an ocean (no dry land, just cliffs) and I was on this raft with this old woman. She was kind of attractive, and she looked like someone I know (or had known) only with gray hair.. so in effect, she looked old, but wasn't old.
Anyway, I'm on this raft and she's smilling at me, trying to reasure me that everything is fine, but I'm nervous. Very nervous. I start paddling towards a cliff and she says "It'll do you no good." WHAT? She just smiles like she never said anything. So I go back to rowing, and suddenly, this huge monster thing just scoops us up and swallows us.
This is where I woke up (LATE). I was supposed to go to Daniel Fsckfaces office to pickup some scripts. I was about 2hrs late. I called Fsckface and told him I was engaged in some matters hence I was running late. "Oh yeah.. don't worry about it. Just get here when you can and thanks for calling." Daniel is a real prick. I hate him. The only reason why I associate myself with him is because he works for Dreamworks SKG. So it's all about the money eh loop I hear you say. Actually no. Its about longivity. In LA, if nobody knows you, you don't exist. And if you don't exist, you don't get money. It's funny, but in a way, living in LA automatically makes you a whore. Trust me...
Anyway- I dashed to Fsckfaces office. It's now around noon. I get the scripts and Fsckface as usual isn't there. On my way out, I bump into this South African chick I dodged back in the day. This is the last thing I want because I need to get back home and start reading this crap. Anything I get from Fsckface is always shit- and this chick is boring. Anyway, she's yacking about something (I wasn't listening) then I feel someone tap me on the shoulder. It's my gawddamn Agent. She has this eerie resemblance to my girlfriend (who by the way, is constantly stalked by droptone). So now I'm between these two chicks who are yacking about something. My agent knows I hate to be in these circumstances but she does it to purposely piss me off. Women do these things you know.
Anyway- they're yacking and yacking and I'm trying my best to shrug them off when I propose we have LUNCH at Fsckfaces office (Dreamworks). "Great idea".
The good thing about eating here (Dreamworks) is that these guys get pampered like new born babies. You can grab your meal and choose to eat at one of the many (and I swear) many dining rooms, or in the theatre which is always showing some flick or.. head downstairs to the wreck room. Think of it like some college dorm for jews.
I don't know what the chicks grabbed, but I had a Margherita Pizza. This comes with roma tomatoes, fresh basil and whole milk mozzarella. You might be wondering, 'you have the choice to eat anything and you get a pizza?'
YEP! I wanted to get outta hear fast and really, I was having one of those days where I knew I couldn't enjoy anything else. I just wanted something fast.
I finally got away and just got home. Now you just watch droptone post a lie in reponse everything I've said.
Last night I ordered pizza from Pizza Hut and some hot wings. I didn't feel like cooking because I had all those scripts to read. One of the scripts is actually pretty good... so I read it slowly. It's pretty perverted too. I had a film called Black Mama, White Mama playing in the background while I read. That film has Pam Grier and her lovely bosom.
I didn't finish the hot wings or the pizza so I heated that shit up today for LUNCH. Daniel Fuckface called to ask what I thought and I told him they weren't that great but I'd get him a full report on Monday. Just so you know, Monday doesn't exist in Hollywood- so this was my way of telling him, if you want to know, you will have to work on a day nobody works.
The hot wings are in a wonderful honey BBQ sauce. The pizza is lovely, and I have a pepsi cola to wash it all down with.
Today I went down the hardwood floors to my kitchen. There I made spagehetti and a nice garden salad. Meatballs wer big, because I made them. The salad was awsome, only the freshest ingredients. The lettuce ws green and plenty of crutons. I washed that down with cranberry juice. To top that off, I also had a baked potato. I may just go back for dessert. I hear they have otter pops in the freezer.

I had a really fascinating dream. It took my place in my high-school years. I was young; it was raining and we were stuck in a classroom. When I say we I mean my class. The teacher was Mrs. Lobo. She was attractive. Outside it looked like a post-apocalyptic future. It was dreary, gray, raining and desolate... like Pennsylvania.
Suddenly I heard Morgan Freeman talking. He was narrating my dream. He said something along the lines of "these children are stuck here forever."
Getting up felt like a chore. I really hit the bottle last night. I fixed myself one of those frozen dinner meals for LUNCH. This one had shrimp. The portions are so small they make me feel like am on a commerial flight. And have you noticed how tiny the chicken pieces are? Seriously, they must be chicks because I refuse to believe that is a full grown hen or rooster I'm munching. But like I said the one I ate was shrimp... I sat and watched cartoons, VH1 and something about polygamy in Utah.
i've been in and out of places worth eating at. today i crushed the classic sunday brizzunch-some eggs benedict, a bloody mary/tyler faith and a prodigious order of bacon at the seasons4.
I had a tandoori chicken today at a restaurant close to the clearance offices next door. I never noticed this place before but it was recommended by the lovely misses who works downstairs.
I believe it all started when I confessed to a collegue that I thought her bust was attractive and someone else overheard this ill comment then told her about it. A couple of days later she was talking to me with a confidence I found out of character.
Tandoori Chicken is delicious but always too spicey for me, mostly due to the kashmiri red chilli powder that gives it the iron-rich red color. Chaat masala and garlic paste are also used to give it the distintive oriental taste.
I got done with my meal at around 1:45pm and started driving home. I had 'a doppia' by Isabel Bondanccia playing. The culmination of the fantasic begins here.
This afternoon I did not have a proper lunch as I was angry and driving around the Chapel Hill area trying, in vain, to find a DMV office to get a replacement license. I had a bag of Fiery Habanero Doritos, which were a bit too spicey for my tastes (especially as chips, maybe mixed on a burrito this heat would be tastey) and a bottle of Gatorade. In case you were worrying about my lack of a license, I ordered a replacement on the North Carolina's DMV website, so never fear. I also picked up another blank, brown fitted hat.
Today I got a visit from Milena. Last time I saw her was on a set in Nippon. The embarassing thing about todays visit was that I was viewing some pornographic images on my laptop last night and forgot to close some of them down. When Milena asked if she could check her e-mail, I naturally thought she'd use the desktop, but she fired-up my laptop and saw these naughty images. She wasn't offended (atleast it didn't seem that way), but now I fear she will look at me in a completely different light.
She smiled the whole time when she finally noticed I knew she had seen the pictures. I was so uncomfortable and didn't want to say a thing, so we sat around in an awkward silence.
I finally broke down and asked her if she wanted anything to eat, to which she responded "maybe a salad." So I quickly made her a garden salad. For me I had a dos tamalas; shredded pork tamale topped with red chile sauce and a hand-shredded chicken tamale. I garnished this with roasted corn salsa and crumbled cotija cheese.
Milena had some. I also had a pack of seaweed type chips sitting on the table. I bought these in a Japanese supermarket not too long ago. Now we're waiting for StuntRock to come over. I might go book browsing later.
I got one of those variety party packs of chips with doritos, lays, cheetos etc. That's what am eating for LUNCH. The reason is because I'm at a friends house mastering some tracks I did. I might get something later but as for now its cheetos and coke!
Today I grabbed one of those sushi plates from the deli. Technically it wasn't lunch because I was busy proving someone wrong at that special moment in time.
What a day today was. Woke up at 4am to go setup lights for 6 hours to do a 3 minute shoot.
Took off to meet Skazi at a nice restoria around noon and get something to eat. I settled on a Pasta Carbonara and some water. The pasta al dente was fettuccine and spiked with wine vinegar.
I then made a mad dash to the bookstore to pick up some magazines. I hear my homeboy Kirby is making waves in the Paris underground scene.
My girlfriend made Paella today. I honestly wasn't hungry thanks to my late night drinking debauchery but...it was almost past LUNCH.
The paella had all the necessary ingridients: chicken, pork, shrimp, calamari, monkfish, mussels, chorizo and Langoniza sausage combined with rice and additional flavorings including some saffron.
I busted out the Crock Pot last night for the first time ever. My mom used it incessantly during my childhood, but for some reason ours has remained in its wedding gift box for over a decade now. Why now? I don't know, but I've been cooking a bunch lately and had an idea.
I chopped an onion, 4 red potatoes, two stalks of celery, 10 small turnips, one carrot, one bunch of green onions (like chives), diced fresh Italian parsley and a fresh clipping of rosemary, and threw it in the pot with 2 bay leaves and about 5 dried cloves. 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 2/3 cup water, 1/6 cup Worcestershire sauce. I threw a 3 lb. chuck roast on top, also salted and peppered, turned it on low and left it for 12 hours. That was our lunch today, and it was fantastic. The cloves were a nice touch. It was easy too, I'll be using the pot more often.
Did you have ice cream like you said you craved? I rarely crave sweets anymore. I think it's because I've been a drunkard for quite some time, and I vaguely remember receiving information from some source that alcohol does that to a person. In any case, mentions of sweets by others froghops over my drunken adulthood back to associations with childhood, not idyllic by any means but there were oases of sunshine and sweets that weave pure magic to me now as I am. I remember a friend's Father with a whirring ice cream maker in their front yard (exotic to my experience), adding salt at some point that my hazy reflection can't pinpoint in context. But I remember distinctly my troubled young mind latching onto that detail with wonderment: this machine turns salt into sweetness.

What??? Were you trying to keep your mind on the exotic ice cream maker as your friends father was ramming his cock up your troubled ass??? Is that what your trying to say - you drunken fuck???
oohh, oohhh, oooohhhhh give me some ice cream big daddy! What a FAG!

Well, I am rendered speechless and defenseless. I think I'll just go into frightened turtle mode and accept the fact that I have been owned.

Actually Mister I did not have the ice-cream I wanted. Can you imagine my girlfriend returned with some friends who then bombarded my liquor cabinet, then proposed that we go out (which we did)- then I went to a party which I did not enjoy and partied with people I did not like.
I'm not sure what you mean about alcohol killing your sweet buds. Seeing that I am English, I take my alcohol consumption pretty serious and theres nothing better (at least for me) than waking up in the morning to a tub of cold ice-cream. yummy!
LUNCH is just around the corner folks. What'll you be having???
Somedays your life is like the tangled cord of a phone in more than one respect. Untangling is not easy sometimes. Today I waited, then waited some more and will wait once again no doubt for the tangle to be untangled. You need to know that the tangled cord is still tangled and will remain that way for some time.
Today I had Kitsune Udon at Mika's house. Mika has weird fish at her house that have dark spots on them. She also has a bunch of toy figures that usually distract me.
The Kitsune had naruto which is fish sausage and tofu (not baked because I don't even really like tofu) and tenkatsu (which can also be substituted for bakauke).
I also had plenty of nori helpings. We finished editing around 2pm so now I'm watching cartoons and Mika is playing a video game that makes funny sounds every 5 or so minutes.
I had lunch at a Thai restaurant with my son and my younger brother. I had #57. I don't remember the name but it was several vegetables including baby carrots with chicken over clear noodles with a side of steamed rice, a serving of soup and those little spring rolls.
I walked to M Chaya on Melrose and had green tea and the grilled tuna burger glazed with teriyaki sauce and garnished with sliced avocado, umeboshi-pickled red onions, daikon sprouts, spicy yuzu mayo and fresh shiso leaf served on a house-baked whole wheat bun.
I just stole that description from the menu. I ate it all except the bread which I gave to a homeless guy. I hate feeling full.
I realized today that I have the power to control a person's mind. I got a call in the morning asking why I wasn't at work and said I had drunk too much last night and therefore slept in. My agent said "oh.. okay" and hung up.
My girlfriend left for work at 11am (as I was waking up) and said "I'll be back around 5" to which I replied "no you won't".
It wasn't until half past noon that she realized what I meant. I went to her office and told her to come with me. I then drove her up to Santa Monica and walked her into Cezanne. This is how it started:
For starters I ordered lobster bisque and rice paper wrapped salmon with cilantro pesto. For the main course I ordered baby leaf spinach and creme fraiche for the gf, and haricot vert, fingerling potatoes, balsamic onion, natural jus for myself. We washed this rediculous luncheon down with two cold glasses of sparkling mineral water from the mountains of Tibet.
I dropped her back at the office around 1:45 which gave me just enough time to swing by Andy's to pick up some creme brulee. A buddy called Nicolo was there having a smoke and some coffee. He said "heeey Loop... haven't seen you in a while." I gave him a reason. He then said handed me something folded in a paper bag and said "You'll love this... I know your kinda shit!"
In the car I opened it up. It was dolce far niente. Again!
Last night I drank a lot. I woke up and there were some dolls floating face-down in the pool. Then a family with a couple of 15 year-old girls moved in next door. They have a little kid in diapers that yells random shit in the yard at midnight.
I'm addicted to fries. I made fries today. I also made a hamburger. I made it medium rare.
I spent the whole of last night editing a video I found floating about the net. I finished it at 7am.
In other news:
LUNCH: was a pork shoulder bar-b-que sandwich from *Earls* bar-b-que. This sandwich was dripping with a delicious sauce. What a wonderful way to begin the weekend.
Quote: I spent the whole of last night editing a video I found floating about the net. I finished it at 7am.
Put it on youtube, brother. I want to see this video you remade in your own image.
I've been drinking for two days. This is the most sober I've been. I just left to let Razor Blaze out of her paddock and found cold french fries and a Burger King wrapper strewn on the seat of my Jetta. I can't be sure, but that must've been Lunch yesterday. I raped my roomate's asshole like a pussy yesterday after we got into an argument about 'Seinfeld'. I came in his butt and he put his hands over his face and yelped "Why to you always get drunk and pull this 'Deliverance' shit on me?! Goddamn you!" It's funny how some things stuck in your memory during a bender and others don't.

I was thinking about putting it on youtube, then I thought, why don't I host it on my webpage... together with my music. I liked this idea more...
Yesterday those 15-year old girls living next door came to my house. I didn't invite them. I asked them what they wanted and they said "We came to see your dolls"
Later my girlfriends friend Terry came over. I told her I wanted to see her clubbed like a baby seal. she likes that sort of humor...and we all laughed like we saw the peach. In a way, I wanted to have a bacon-lovers sandwich with her. We ate lunch at midnight yesterday.
Wowzer... today I went nuts in the kitchen. Made some burrata caparese with roma tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil and furthered this with Pollo grigliato con erbette di campo (chicken grilled with spicy garlic and fresh herb sauce).
I'm honestly thinking about putting up a blog with recipies but I'm too busy at the moment to maintain such things. LUNCH was fantastic and now I know what's for dinner.
It's day two (2) today of the new era as I like to call it. Had a couple of friends over for some healthy convo and music listening. Good times.
Unfortunately for them- they left just as LUNCH was starting. Made me some Tartara di tonno rosso (raw tuna with cucumbers and lobster dressing) and watched a vile motion picture called 'The Virgin of Saint Tropez'. Now am un-winding the same way the gods do.
Two slices of pizza, one sausage and one pepperoni, from a conveinence store with a can of Pepsi which I had to scarf down in 15 minutes and get back on the factory floor afterwards.
I just watched Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I'm not sure why I watched this film, because I really shouldn't have. It was possibly the most stupid film I've seen since Binkini Girls on Dinosaur Planet
Did u like Anchorman? It was made by the same people who did Talladega...
I laughed so hard watching Anchorman, because i like that wacky sense of humour, so i was wondering if Talladega is similar in that way.
The weird thing about Anchorman is that this movie is hated from most of the ppl with which i usually share the same taste for movies, and the other way around.
I don't remember thinking much of Anchorman. It's really not my kind of film.
Today I was caught up in that messy junction of work and fun. I took the avenue of fun which did a full circle back to work and thus missed LUNCH. Worse, is that my fun has just run out seeing that.. argh.. long story, but sufice to say that it was an annoying day.
I ran to downtowns to the cafetteria and picked up a Belgium salad. It wasn't advertised as such but I know thats what it was. Belgium salads comprise of fresh arugola tossed with lemon dressing and drops of balsamic vinegar reserve and served with oven dried grapes and asiago cheese. I added shrimp to my meal because I'm a sucker for sea-food.

I had this around 20 minutes ago (3:30pm).
I hope Los Angeles becomes a modern day Tunguska event.
Today was one of those days that didn't need to exist because very little happened. The only good thing that came out of it is that I bought a new book. I had LUNCH kinda late. This is the 2nd time and definately isn't a welcoming. I had clam chowder and a pepsi. These simple luncheons sure do hit the spot. I might get some chips later.
Today for LUNCH I had a grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and corn cooked by boozi. The corn was perfectly buttered and soft. boozi has a terrible habit of asking you what you think of the food every time you take a bite. He also makes irrtating comments such as "mmm that chicken sure came out good. How's your?" My girlfriend is in New York so I'm having to be more social but I don't see this lasting very long.
"Shouldn't" by what standards, sir? If I want to call myself "corncob" and display a photograph of "Pia Zadora" I do not see hows it anybodies fucking business but mine own.

Lunch today was Shrimp and More platter at Long John Silver's in Evansville. A single guy who can't cook quickly makes friends with fast food, TV dinners, and frozen pizza.

Pia Zadora! Now that was a beauty with a true sense of style. Not like that overfed goth monster with staples in her face.
Today I wanted to eat a burger. I walked to the nearby McDonalds fastfood place but the line was so long, so I detoured to another restaurant that servers burgers and fries. I don't even know what this place is called (outside it's just written burgers, fries, shakes" and stuff like that. Inside it looks like a diner straight outta the 50s. I ordered a buffalo burger with some fries; take-away. Their buffalo burger comes so packed with lettuce, avocado, onions, pickles, tomatoes and bacon that it's guranteed to fall apart as you chomp down on it. However, it's such a delicious burger that one cannot help risking it.
I ate half of my burger at the restaurant then took the rest back to the office. Grabbed a Pepsi from the refigerator and chomped on some fries whilst I leafed through some scripts. LUNCH is awesome!!
For LUNCH today I had a classic Fish fry... 3 generous pieces of beer-battered North Atlantic Cod, 2 slices of buttered rye bread, a bowl of new england clam chowder soup and seasoned french fried potatoes. I squeezed a fresh lemon wedge over the fish and downed a fine Ale to compliment the delicious meal. My friend Hewitson came over and we made some jokes. I laughed like it was Friday, then we talked about some serious stuff and we started aruging. I think he wanted some Ale, so I bought him some.
I went to Kelly's Cajun Grill in Redondo Beach. I had blacked chicken, cajun potatoes and red beans and rice. I've been here before and its so good, I'll be back agin in another two weeks.
I spent the whole day today hooking up a personal internet radio station and almost missed my LUNCH.
Instead of a traditional meal I had breakfast; pancakes with Mrs. Butterworth's Original Syrup, potatoes and bacon. I also made some hot chocolate on the side. I finally got the radio to work at about 3pm so now fiddling with mixing stuff around. weeeeeeeeeeee
I just had fried rice with chicken and an egg roll meal. It was pretty bland and I have a feeling it reflected Samantha's mood. She's the cook. I stole Karen's diet doctor pepper soft drink (a drink I normally would never indulge in) but I wasn't particulary thirsty. My reason was simply to sweeten my taste buds. My friend Lex laughed about this. Karen noticed and said "What the hell?"
There are those days, those moments in life, when for no particular reason the senses are heightened and the commonplace becomes sublime.
Today was such a day. Kathy is the new cook downstairs. She made some meatlove which seriously tasted like it came straight from your mom's kitchen. It was made with love and confidence that doesn't always become the basic cook.
There are those who, deprived of physical beauty, develop a sincerity and beauty of spirit that seems to eclipse their appearance. They marry for love, stay married, and raise happy children who are quick to laugh and slow to judge. I hope Kathy stays. LUNCH is getting better everyday.
You gotsta finda way to gets peoples to particpates, brah. They is afraid like latent hecklers in a standup crowd. You own this thread too fiercely. Your bumps look like bumps nomatter how inventive and evocative. I had a FREE lunch today. They warehouse sponsored an "Ends of Summers' luncheon outside. It was kind of cool withy lots of cirru7s. I had a freen "Italian sausage" sandwich with FREE Fritos and FREE pasta salad and FREE diet pEpsi. I sat by myself. My immedfiate supervisor insultingly sat down conspicuously accros from me and asked "How's windsock doing?" Boy. Is hanghing to best suicidse or is bleeding. I don't wan't to be nauseous, but I don't want violence. My fantasy is coming to conscioluosness ammongst Romper Room psych workers for a few weeks who see how fucking special I am in some4 other realitry. Who weikll pay for this? I donut care.
Today I went to the supermarket and bought a head of cauliflower. At home I steamed the cauliflower, cooked some potatoes, fried some fricadelles and made a Hollandaise sauce. It was an absolutely yummy meal!
Urth Cafe on Melrose. Outside on patio where I could watch my car before the meter expired. Grazed on the tuna salad/ no mayo, no dressing and a side of pickles and mustard. Always amazing food there, but the parking sucks.
Carl Buddig Turkey(you know the cheap lunch meat that comes in the little bags) on white bread with a slice of American cheese, a green apple(the only kind I eat), a package of two Little Debbie Nutty Bars, and a can of Sam's Choice Fruit Punch flavored soda(all of which I had to scarf down in about 20 minutes and then be back on the floor working)
Home made aioli spread on foccacia bread with grilled chicken breast, provolone cheese, sundried tomatoes and a big basil leaf. Two slices of very ripe cantaloupe.
Quote: Home made aioli spread on foccacia bread with grilled chicken breast, provolone cheese, sundried tomatoes and a big basil leaf. Two slices of very ripe cantaloupe.
That sounds amazingly delicious dear Gen. I myself had Beef with Oyster Mushrooms in garlic sauce over white rice.
Wow. Action today on the LUNCH thread. This is good news. Today I verntured to Johnny Rocket's with some co-workers after the usual yacking around the office.
I actually don't like Johnny Rockets except when I'm depressed. For some reason their over-priced burgers and malts make me feel better when all other attempts at lifting my heart fail. I wasn't miserable today but I was starving. My appetitte has lately been on the vengence.
I ordered the Smoked House burger. This comes with tillamook cheddar cheese, thick bacon, crisp onion rings and a special smoke House barbecue-ranch sauce. American fries unfortunately have to be side-ordered so we ordered a plate of 4 (served fresh and hot when they are ready).
I ordered a chocolate malt to wash my burger down with was spiked with enough sugar to power a generator. Maddy ordered a float and Bezi ordered a barq's soda pop. I'm went back to work wired.
i had a bag of chex mix.Traditional flavor. the kind you find on the bottom shelf of the trail mix and beef jerky aisle at 7-11. I washed it down with a Diet Pepsi.
Early cheat day this week. Wienerschnitzel was the stop today. I had to get out of the office and that was the closest place. Anyway, had two chilli dogs and just threw the fries away. I dont like fries that much anyway. I drank Rasberry Ice Tea, even thou I was craving a soda, which I dont drink. Strange.
I had 2 peanut butter and banana sandwiches with some apple juice. In the middle of LUNCH, my attorney called and said I wasn't going to lost my ass in a lawsuit, which somehow made the peanut butter taste a little better. Then I ed a few times and took a nap.
I ate 2 beaf burrito's from Sam's today. I always purchase 1 buritto then after I eat it, I get another one then I feel "too" full. Sam knows this habbit of mine and always asks me "Why don't you just purchase two? You know you'll be back for another one." and I almost always respond "Not today Sam. I only want one."
I've done this now for almost 4 months and never once have I settled for just one beaf burrito. I always end up getting a second one. ANGST!
Qdoba Mexican Grill in Manhattan Beach. I had the steak quesadilla. The steak was marinated and it included 3 diferent kinds of cheese. The hot sauce was spicy hot, but not uncomfortably hot. I will go there again soon. I want to try their Sirloin burrito.
Same as last time I posted in this thread, only the lunch meat was turkey and had some mustard on it. I also had a Little Debbie Fudge Brownie instead of a Nutty bar also. Same boring lunch, day in, day out.
Ate 15 pieces of sushi sashimi today. The dude at the restaurant looked at me with his mouth open. I think I was rude. He came over at first to explain how the Ebi was made- but by the 2nd time I ordered more Ebi he didn't come by. I've also increased my dossage of wasabi on sushi. Usually put a smiggen on the fish now I hawk more of its all over like paste.
My girlfriend started singing "strawberries" over and over again when we were leaving. She just kept repeating the word in a harmonic tone. Strangely, I started liking it so now I've instructed her not to stop.
You wanmt to know what the fuck I had for lunch today? I stole some of my roomate's peanut butter and had a sandwich with it on wheat bread. The issue of stolen peanut butter came to a head recently when my life was threatened with a steak knife. A can of unopened Jif extra crunchy has remained unopened in the cupboard in the weeks since, possibly as a kind of test/temptation/make my day gesture. I did it, hostiley and hungrily. I did it earnestly and sincerely. A fine sandwich. The shoes have not dropped yet. It is a matter of time until the crime is discovered. I washed it down with a glass of Diet 7uP spike with diluted Kamchatka vodka. Later I farted and they sure did stink something awful.
I made some Bami Goreng. Roasted noodles, soy, chicken, brocoli, shrimps, chili and ginger. I'm so full. I don't know whats up.. I think my tummy is shrinking.
The neighbors complained about the noize last night. They said "What the hell are you building in there?" They were refering to the garage. I have something I'm building, but I didn't tell them what it was.
What are you building? In lieu of actually revealing, what materiels and tools are being used and what sorts of disruptrive noises are disturbing your neighborhood?
I had a Japanese tacco. It was 4 large pieces of lettuce with meat inside. You roll the lettuce over the meat and eat. I washed it down with water because I was feeling lazy. Back to work now...
How are those monstrous babies taking to there new environment gardensing you are made from them? I once saw a film when Julie Christy got impernated by a computer thru rape. I did not understand it at all. The movie seemed to end on a hopeful not when the birth occured. Monstrous.
Quote: How are those monstrous babies taking to there new environment gardensing you are made from them?
Not good. Two got totally fried whilst inside a saturation chamber. Starks flew everywhere, I though the neighborhood was going to go up in smoke. Tomorrow I'm building additional reactor coils to avoid this.
I had LUNCH early today because I'm going to be involved in an experiment that could result in my death. With that said:
I had barbeque (bbq) honey dipped chicken (homemade) with mashed potatoes (done Portuguese style) and corn. The BBQ sauce was made with minced garlic, shallot, honey, and chopped up cilantro.
This could very well be the last LUNCHEON experience I ever have so I ate it slow, savering each bite and I even choose not to have a drink. *sniff*
Chicken matzaball soup at Greenblats, which is next door to Hyde where Chyna and Mary Carey got denied at the door the other night like Tara Ried last month. Gave 1 of the matzah balls to a homeless guy outside and chomped on my pickles and mustard in my car.
Are you okay. I wish I were a drone babe and had a father as fearlkess and loving and interested as yourself. I see maqny LUNCHES in your future, friend. Way farther into doddering oild age than you ever conceived or wanted to, sir.
I watch that videon and i Didn't see quinne in there anywhere. I don't care if you am just joking but can I see the draw2ing you carrty bigger? It makes me happy and stumiluted.

The factory provided us with a meal today since no one was involved in any work related accidents for the month consisting of catfish, hush puppies, baked beans, potatoes in cheese, corn, and pineapple-upsidedown cake for dessert. None of it was very good. Everything was rather bland tasting.

What about Pauly? Oh Pauly- you won't hear from him no more.
Quote: Spaghetti for me today. I still have to come up with the right combination for the sauce.
Gia, loop; any suggestions on ingredients?
Chico: make your spaghetti then add ravioli (make this yourself). Now heres your sauce. Get 1/4 tsp fresh tarragon, 1/2 chopped dill, 1 tsp parsley, 2 tbsp green onions, 2 anchovy fillets (mash to paste), 1 tbsp capers, 1 clove garlic, bash, peel and chop that bitch. 2 tsp english mustard (accept no substitutes). 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh squeeze), a pinch of saffron threads and (the best part) arrowroot mixed with non-alcoholic white wine. Mix in medium heat. Add the arrowroot mix when you take your pan off the heat, then return to heat and stir till its thick. Pour over your meal and tell me how many chicks this got you.
For LUNCH: I ate a grilled cheese sandwich. Had some friends of the gf's over and they have the horrid habbit of making a tourist attraction of everything in the house.
Today I got a visit from my friend Cesear, but I like to call him Cease. I used to call him lil' Cease but he ain't little and someone else was using that name as an alias. He likes to paint uneasy pictures that don't seen to make much sense to people. He also lives in a red brick house in a Euro type community.
When he came today I wasn't expecting him so I was much surprised. We talked at length about all kinds of stuff. Me; I told him about an argument I had with a girl about Edvard Munch's painting titled Puberty. I don't think he listened to anything I said because he immediately started talking about his red brick house and his thoughts about memory and the human brain. He mentioned electricity and I started to laugh- we both did. We both laughed like we saw the peach.
For LUNCH we ate Sloppy joe hot sandwiches and drank 2 Pilsner Urquell. I told him that the sloppy joe sandwich came from Mama's Kitchen. Casear can eat avocadoes plain. I think thats kinda disgusting.
My buddies came over to my house, without knocking by the way, and yelled "Hey <Moronboy?!?>, your coming to eat with us." I immediately yelled loudly, because I had just stepped out of the shower and did not hear them enter. The one friend owed me money, so he figured he would just buy my food today. So we went to a new place in town around 12:30 on a Sunday afternoon. I was kinda worried, but also interested, that some small altercation between my obnoxious, loud friends and the after-church crowd but nothing happened. As for the food, I had a smoked mushroom&swiss burger with fries. The fries resembled little waffles, but I don't know what they call those kind of fries. Quite tasty meal.
Quote: Today I got a visit from my friend Cesear, but I like to call him Cease. I used to call him lil' Cease but he ain't little and someone else was using that name as an alias.

Today we had seafood wok at the office. There was a choice of either noodles or stir rice and I opted for rice. I'm starting to use less and less of soy sauce and eating other people's pepper. Today I ate Kathy's pepper. I hope this doesn't make her stop coming with me to LUNCH.
Today I watched a movie called 300. Its by a guy called Zack Snyder. He's a very funny guy. We were supposed to write stuff to him after we watched the movie but I had nothing constructive to write so I grabbed a magazine, leafed thru it, found a picture of Little Miss Sunshine (that movie in theatres), tore off a promo-picture of the beauty pagent scene and put it in my envelope.
Afterwards I followed Cindi (this totally hot agent) to the dining room where I heard Zack commenting "some sick bastard sent me this for feedback can ya believe that?"
We had a HUGE Lunch. Mostly salads (greek), a lot of dessert type stuff too (creamy stuff, jell-o, puddings), and lots of cocktails. The entire thing was a lot of hulla-balloo so I left without saying goodbye (except to Cindi). Just got home and made a burrito and a glass of milk.
300 comes out in March of next year. Frank Miller penned the original story so if you're into that type of shit you should dig it.
Quote: The fries resembled little waffles, but I don't know what they call those kind of fries. Quite tasty meal.
They're called waffle fries. Man, I so have a weakness for them. A huge dollup of ketchup on the side, please.
I ate in the deli at Whole Foods on Fairfax/St Monica. I had a small bowl of the chicken and rice soup and a gingerale Kombuchu tea. The fermented mushroom at the bottom is kinda freaky but this drink tastes super amazing, so I shook it really hard a few times. What's odd is that Whole Foods has armed guards walking around the store. Yes, they have guns on them! I imagined Guapo saying, "Damn. A nigga gonna cap your ass for stealin a gluten-free cookie."
My girlfriend has some of her friends visiting so my appetite has been greatly affected thanks to the late night partying. I've also been forced to make much larger meals than I'm used to.
Today I made fresh Mediterranean striped bass (boneless whore fish) baked with rosemary, extra virgin oil and fresh herbs. I didn't include any soup on the menu because the bass took forever to bake so I made everyone wait. Homeboys girlfriend almost passed out from hunger becuase she was sick all morning.
Today I had LUNCH with my invisible friend Bobby Boneheads. We ate at a diner called Barney's or Barney's Gormet Hamburgers as some like to call it.
Bobby had the Big Barney’s Burger which is one pound ground chuck on a French roll, garnished with lettuce, tomatoes, pickle and red onions. He didn't choose any cheese because as he told me he was trying to watch his weight.
I picked the Western Burger which is cheddar cheese, sauteed onions und tangy barbecue sauce topped with crisp bacon. We both had pepsi cola drinks to wash down our burgers and shared a plate of french fries.
Bobby and I discussed an array of topics but focused primarily on the universe and its creation. We had a good day.
I had taken a small break because we had some friends over and I didn't want to electrocute anyone. I started off with seven really large circuit boards and now they're only about 4.
Today I had LUNCH with MAX and Jackie. Max is a character. Jackie isn't. Shes LA. Shes the type that doesn't get married for love, doesn't stay married and isn't slow to judge. And to make matters worse, there is no beauty that eclipes her appearance. Max on the other hand is impossible to describe. Let's just say he's not a person to be trusted.
As odd as this may sound, I meet Max and Jackie at a place called The Stinking Rose on La Cienega Boulevard. I thought things couldn't get more LA than this. Jackie said something about salmonella, I wasn't listening nor did I care. Max didn't care either, but he pretended to laugh. I laughed at him pretending, then we all laughed for different reasons before going inside.
We sat near the middle of the fscking place (something I hate), then we talked about driving a cucumber down a road in the Sahara desert and how it would start to snow. I said I would pull over and bake a badger in cactus and fly off to dinner with Daniella's head pumped full of nitrous oxide. Max said something about cows having their legs shaven off and Jackie said the color purple was between the number 1 and 3.
When we finally got to ordering I told the kind waitress (a fscking smoking HOT blonde) that I wanted the garlic roasted prime rib with midwestern corn fed beef. She said the prime was 100% US certifed. As she said this I imagined her replacing the words "US certifed" with "fresh-shaven-pussy" and thought meals would taste better if they were birthed from a cervical cavity.
Max ordered lemon-baked atlantic salmon with garlic caper sauce and Jackie had baked portobello mushroom on a bed of roasted vegetables... something I thought compliemented her shaving her legs with a cream free of chlorofluorocarbons.
After LUNCH Max said something about UFOs bringing a new form of cow to earth and Jackie looked visibly disturbed. I burped and told them about how I found the waitress so attractive that had she served my meal naked and urinating I probably would have let her shower my glass with the uric acid before taking giant bites of the prime-rib and swallowing without chewing. We then laughed hard and Max picked the cheque and we left in a billow of smoke to a nebula.
Theres a new Mexican burrito joint near Sparky's place. It may have been there the whole time but I just noticed it today. I walked inside and they have a bunch of posters inside announcing all sorts of events like mariachi performances from the 60s and stuff like that. The guy inside is a fat mexcican dude. Looks about 50 and has a crazy moustache. I asked him for a beef burrito with extra guacamole and sour-cream.
I still haven't eaten my burrito so this is a pretty unique post. Tomorrow I have some duds coming over and acting as props as I do some shots of the "scenario" I've been building.
Nothing fancy, just Burger King and I hate that place. Its the first time in 6 yrs I eat in that shithole. I had two Jr Whoppers and a small drink. On the wayout of the parking lot, I saw Macy Grey drive up in a silver Mercedes Benz.
My luncheons have been mercilessly dulled by the workload. Tomorrow my friend Aaron Aaron will be around as we will be doing some test-shootings and I can predict some seriously mid-day cuisine will run-amoke; especially on Wednesday.
Today I had Spaghetti Carbonara for LUNCH out on the terrace. I added extra gratted pecorino and parmesan cheese. I was reading this cool book as I was eating when the neighor's daughter (a 14-year old blondie kiddling) walked into my place requesting I show her my "machine". I cheated the kid I had a machine in the garage hoping it would disinterest her but it turns out it added more fascination than was necessary.
I told the kiddling I'd show her after I finished having my lunch and even invited her to have some. So we had LUNCH and I told her how great that was.
It seems the time to finally get out of the madness and spend an elongated time period away from a connection looking out of a different window without any online distractions sent a few askew. Top or bottom, front or back- any time, any place anywhere- you are once reminded you cannot create your own orgy without the willfully-obscene and gratuitously perverse folks herein. If you want hell on wheels, come to Los Angeles, or just get the jump on what Tinsel Town is hiding under it's deceptively glossy coat here- albeit in your cozy abode. Ballons of heroin, babydoll pj's and all- this is the kind of info a fanatic savours...
LUNCH begins as usual. Julie ordered a pizza not far from Mann's, which just happens to be minutes from where Janis Joplin overdosed. We had the usual toppings; anchovies, beef, onions, extra olives, green peppers and buffalo wings dipped in honey barbeque on side. I think we're the only ones who start Monday afternoons like this- with casualness running extra cool dude.
Whoa! I haven't had Mickey D's for years. I made some Chicken Scampi earlier today with dried cilantro, black peppers and 3 chicken breast pieces. I drank a chocolate malt with this and watched Night Of the Living Dead. Actually, I thought this was a pretty good re-make. What kind of afternoons do the rest of you have?
Today I had chickan curry for LUNCH. Started off by cutting the chicken into slices, then cooked some chicken soup. fried some garlic, onions, chili, ginger in a wok, then filled it up with coconut milk and the chicken soup. Added lemongrass. left it cooking for about 25 minutes, then added the chicken slices. left it cooking for another 10 minutes. Removed the lemongrass and the chilis, and had a delicous meal. LUNCH is still my favorite meal of the day.
I had free food and all i had to do was go to this Hare Krishna center here in the west Village. A healthy feast it was, I had spinach burritos and lentil curry soup then washed it down with some Jack and Diet Coke from the flask in my boot.
Loop, I read this entire thread. You sir,should write a book.I applaud your efforts here and will in the future commit my time as to not let this thread die.I will not be as eloquent as you,and somedays I may not even have the time to have a good lunch,much less post on it intricacies.But I will do my best to not let this masterpiece die.
Thanks LouCypher. Today I had LUNCH at Dennys. Seriously, I haven't been to a Denny's restaurant in months (years probably) and I would have continued this streak had I not mistakingly refered to Denny's as Wendys. I went with Nadine who works in the marketing department.
Today I went to Belvedere for LUNCH. I was supposed to pick up some light kits earlier but totally digressed when my friend Oz reminded me of a book I hadn't read since I was a worm. Oddly enough, the book is the exact opposite of what you'd allow a child to read today.
I rang up Stan the man and asked him to put my light kit on hold as I was running late. What I failed to mention was that I was currently sitting at Belvedere leafing through a childhood book and finished placing my order of sauteed salmon burger on a potato bun with dill mayonnaise and pinot noir cured onions. One of the best burgers I've eaten in a while. I had a coke to wash it down.
Today I went back to Denny's to order some mini burgers. They're just like the White Castles burgers, and even though I'm not a stoner, I quite enjoy them.
Six mini cheeseburgers with mustard and grilled onions surrounding a mound of crisp French fries (default onion rings) and a frigid coke.
well, i am jonesin' for my 100th post. took my little one to chuck.e.cheese's, had some pepperoni and half of my three year- old's fries. hell yeah, now i am a suitcase P.I.M.P.
I made a tuna fish sandwich today which I had with a Birra Moretti. Last night wasn't a good night, and somehow it triggered into today, because right after LUNCH I got electrocuted. Somehow the 2nd generator I purchased is releasing more electricity than required. I will put the project on a hiatus for a while now. This could lead to electro-death if continued.
I just had some chinese from Mister Chow's. I think thats what the place is called. It's actually not that far from where I live. I used to order here all the time, then I stopped when the woman moved in, but now I've started again.
I always went for fried rice- but recently, unknowingly, I changed to plain white rice. I ordered this with some orange chicken and some shrimp. It tasted fscking lovely.
I then put some ice in a big mug (about 4 ice-cubes) and poured in some coke (not pepsi) and as it was fizzling I took a gentle sip (1 sip not 2). It was fscking lovely.
How many of you can say your having a lovely LUNCHEON right now?
i'm probably spending lunch today driving a crazy chick out to concord so she can buy a horse while she's drunk. it's weird enough i have to do it and tell the grandkids
Today I worked with fiberglass casting. The fun thing about it is you get to melt fiberglass and make cast molds of people then melt the fiberglass on the cast. What a riot. At around 2:30 (yes I was having that much fun) I took a break to make a simple Chicken cordon bleu. I cooked it whilst some friends worked in the garage. The only thing I have in the fridge is beer and coke (pepsi is gone) so I picked a Pilsner and plonked back downstairs to cause havoc. I don't think I will have any more actors working with me again.
I still have thanksgiving turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes left over from Thursday so that's what I've been eating. Today I made a turkey sandwitch using the left over turkey and had some cold water to wash it down. I'm actually getting tired of this shit. The gluttony has been making me pissed which doesn't always go well in my house.
On a lighter note I've established a rather naughty side-project. I've discovered a pretty amusing collection of nazi pornography which I've decided to re-create.
I'm so tired of turkey. Today I went to Campanile on La Brea. Had a grilled salmon salad with roasted market peppers, red onion and croutons. For the main course I had braised beef short ribs servered with horseradish cream and a side order of shell beans on radicchio and balsamic vinegar. I downed this lovely LUNCHEON with some passion juice. The russian waitress on call assured me it was freshly squeezed.
I was having some honey BBQ buffalo wings today with a coca cola soft drink when I got a call today from Ronn to go to his office immediately. Ronn is very Americana so he shouts into the phone and sprinkles words like "okie dokie" and "golly" or "holy taledo" in his dialogue. Sometimes I think the guy is stuck in the 50s. Anyway, Ronn asked me if I could make him a giant cow. What the hell do you need a giant cow for? Turns out it's the little ideas that sometimes spawn bigger ideas.
I decided to have chinese today.I tried a new place downtown and settled on the #c62 lunch . It turned out to be a fat chinese kid with an x-box 360 controller tied off around his botched nuetering job of a dick. Of course this was completely unappealing to me so I booted the slant eyed lil fucker in his mangina so hard that milk sprayed out of his tranny tits. After his 15 cousins mopped up the remains I enjoyed some orange chicken with a bottle of pinot.
Today I had a Subway sandwich, a footlong roast chicken breast on white with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, cucumbers and peperocini's, it was the usual Subway fare which is ho-hum at best
Theres a chipotle promo thing going on down at the office- so we have a bunch of chipotle gourmet burritos and tacos laying around just for the picking.
Today I grabbed the fajita burrito (pro-nounced fahita). This is just like a regular burrito but with sauteed peppers and onions instead of beans. The veggie fajita has both sauteed veggies and black beans instead of meat and comes with guacamole. I grabbed a bottled water and headed back to the office to munch.
Today I went to McDonald's (which i allmost never do) I had a Big Mac, which I must say is pretty God damned good. If I didnt enjoy good health I would eat there every day.
Grabbed a tray of sushi at Safeway for $10. It came with about 8 california roll pieces and 6 pieces of anago (grilled and barbarqued saltwater eel served with a special sauce). Best Sunday LUNCH I've had in a long time.
The gf picked up a Minnesota turkey sandwich from the deli which came with a free bag of chips (doritos) and a fountain drink. I honestly doubt her meal was as delicious as mine.
Well today I had grilled cheese and pea soup with chippedchopped hotdogs mixed in! And for a refreshing drink I had a glass of milk! Well tonight I am drinking schnops that tastes pretty good. Well there is only a little bit left so I have to buy some more tomorrow.
I ate the lint I found when I tried to pull change out my pocket to pay for some real food and there was none, had a free ketchup packet to chase it down.
If there's one thing I hate about the factory, its the 20 minute lunch break. Rush, rush, rush. Never time to get a worthwhile lunch. It's either bring something or rush to McDonald's or the convenience store to get something. Today, I brought something:
Lunch meat Ham sandwich with cheese and mustard, a bag of bacon&cheddar fries from the snack machine, and a can of Pepsi.
LOL CHICKENMASTER LOL!!!!!!! And also MORONBOY LOL!!!!!!!
Well today I had soup. Well I also had bread and butter and cola and for a snack I had m and m's!
Well this is not a thread about dnner so I will not say however on my way home I bought wine coolers. I bought peach schnops to however I will havethat tomorrow LOL!
ps LOOPNODE THE KING and BORNYO what did you have? Thanks! Well everyone else can answer too!

I couldn't care less what the others say. You are ok in my book, birdshit sir.
For lunch today I had a can of Starkist Tuna in Vegetable Oil on Saltine crackers. No mayo or anything in the tuna except for salt. It was kind of beautiful because the amount of tuna in the can portioned out exactly to accomodate one pack of crackers (there are 4 packs per box). It too about 1/2 an hour to eat. At about the midway point I looked up Drew Allen at freeones.com and masturbated to a movie gallery featuring her. I was refreshed at the end of this meal and masturbatory interlude with a big glass of tap water.
I ate at home today and enjoy odd numbers of food. 13 cashew nuts, 4oz grilled chicken breast, 5 raw zuchini slices. All washed down with a glass of water and lots of lemons.
ps LOOPNODE THE KING and BORNYO what did you have? Thanks! Well everyone else can answer too!
Yesterday I didn't have a very interesting LUNCHEON hence I omitted documenting it. Today however, more than anything, I had an interesting convo with Ian (a writer whose quite interesing).
We went downstairs to the cafeteria, still engrossed in argument. You see Ian, unfortunately, is very hollywood- but he has so many non-hollywood traits its amazing to hear he ever gets work.
I had a plate of Spaghetti Bolognese, which at our cafeteria , is cooked with extra mushrooms and green pepper. Ian settled for a Baby Romaine with Tarragon Vinaigrette. Incase your wondering, thats a form of french salad made with a mixture of chopped tarragon and lettuce. Afterwards we started macking this one chick who recently started working downstairs (and the printing office). LUNCH always brings out the best in people.

There's a special playing over and over on HBO called Thin. A bit heart breaking yet interesting to watch all the many girls of all ages suffering from eating disorders.
Your post reminded me of a girl who would eat so many nuts and this and that. She couldn't eat without doing that. But then of course she hurled it all up. I hope you're not doing that!!!
Speaking of eating disorders, shame on me as I hadn't made any time for myself today to eat a healthy meal but a 1.5 Liter bottle of Arrowhead and a slice of Panettone. So my Lunchiner tonight will be home-made Spicey Japanese (Nippon) Ramen aka Spicey Shio Ramen. (not the Ramen brand crap!) And will more likely wash this down with more water and perhaps DECAF! Hazelnut coffee.

I saw THIN and it was horribly unaccurrate. I got so pissed off when one girl said she just wanted to be thin. That's not what eating disorders are about. The documentary seemed so textbook. It looked like one big infomercial for the treatment center which didn't seem to know much about recovery. Btw, I don't hurl my food. Feeling stuffed in the first place grosses me out. I don't really know how to cook- that's why my home meals are so sparse. And I happen to like raw, fresh veggies with my meat.
Explain to me drinking decaf. That's like people who drink O'Douls.
You're right about Thin. While it was obvious these girls needed help; it wasn't shocking that majority of them went back to their old ways because every damn thing the counselors said were along the mentality of a 10year old. The rehab center looked ghetto as hell.
Raw veggies are always awesome. It was more the 13 cashews that got me thinking of that show Dont mean to give ya a hard time.
Most definitely DECAF at night otherwise screw it I'm all for the strong brew. I love the taste of practically all "coffee" flavors although I'm extremely sensitive to caffiene. *sigh*

Absolutely same story here. I love coffee, and I'd drink it 24/7 if it weren't for the caffeine buzz. Caffeine hits me hard too, so I had to switch when the sleepless nights started catching up to me. And as repulsive as O'Doul's is... I can understand the logic behind that as well. I don't really like the effects of alcohol beyond a mild buzz, but I'm addicted to Newkie Brown.
Quote: today, i went to wendy's with my husband and younger son. i had the southwest taco salad. it was yummy, and the chipotle dressing reminded me of chico
poor yes, but im good looking. better looking than you donny. Thats why you post pics of other people. And my bf is around 14% at 210 bodyweight. Soon as i get surgery im going down to around 185 or so--
Today I went to see my buddy Ant in Santa Monica for some sound mixes he's been doing for me. I went early- around 0830hrs. We worked on mastering the sounds and burning them to disc. I was hungry as hell by 01100hrs so I decided to pop into Gates of India for LUNCH.
I normally don't eat Indian food but I decided to go for it today because... well, I just decided I wanted some.
I started off with some vegetable samosas; crisp patties stuffed with lightly spiced potatoes and peas, minced with fresh mint.
For the main course I had a chicken tandoori; tender half chicken with bone, marinated in yogurt and mild spices, broiled in the clay oven. On the side I had plain naan; lightly leavened white flour bread with kalonji. I downed this lovely LUNCHEON with 2 glasses of lemonade to defuse the spice.

This passage makes me happy. I don't know why. I had an egg salad sandwich and a can of V-8 from the vending machine our employers provide for us. This was today at about 12:45pm EST. The sandwich costed $1.45 and the can of V-8 costsed $.80. I sat on a skid of flattened future product boxes in a low traffic area. I chewed and swigged and stared of into space and made no plans.
Went to Stubb's in Austin, Tx today. They make their own barbeque sauce and their ribs have the best rep in town. Found it odd that they didn't have bottled water, though. Had a rib and some collard greens. Delicious. My friends ordered the entire menue and bagged the rest to go. Or 'take away' as the English guy said.
I'm just posting this for birdshit: I had a smoked chicken salad sandwich on toasted wheat bread with lettuce and tomato and about 4 oz of sweet tea mixed with the lemonade you get out of the soda fountain.
What are you doing eating BBQ? Not exactly healthy...
Greens: *Cows* eat the green stuff. People eat the cows. Not the other way around.
Yes, I once took a crowd of leaf-eaters from Seattle to County Line BQQ in Austin. It was amusing to watch them struggle. Should have taken them to Kreuz BBQ in Lockhart, where there are no leaf-eater sides...
Today I had Seared Halibut with heirloom tomatoes, white anchovies, capers and nicoise olives. One of my friends, boozi, brought over some donner kebab meat and had that while Susan had a Salmon Salad roasted with market peppers, red onions and croutons. We talked for hours about a song called 'Shadow'. Susan is a milf.
The cafeteria downstairs had this selection on the menu and it pleased us. Except boozi. He said his kebab had curry that fights colon cancer, so his farts would initially be life extending farts.
At the border if Illinois and Indiana, it was slim pickings. My crew decided on Chili's. I decided it was disgusting and just had coffee while they had sandwiches, onion rings and pasta something or other. If I see one more cornfield, I'll scream.
Gia, sounds like you may have been close to my neck of the woods there. Once again I had pizza. One slice of sausage, one slice of cheese, and a Cherry RC to wash it down.

Does it really look that bleak to you? I live in Ohio, and I think it's wonderful.
In Chicago today, we were recomended Gino's East. It's famous for its pizza and signature scribbled walls. After lunch I signed my name. It's in the far back booth downstairs. My friend had the deep dish bacon cheeseburger pizza. Strangely, Chicago style is to layer the sauce on top of the pizza. The crust was unlike any, almost like a cornbread. The slices were so thick he used a fork. My house salad was juicy and finally, a restaurant in the mid-west that carried bottled water. We kept bumping each other because I eat left handed. Always have. Don't know why.
Quote: In Chicago today, we were recomended Gino's East. My house salad was juicy and finally, a restaurant in the mid-west that carried bottled water.
You went to Gino's but ate a salad?!?! Disgrace!
We drink the tap water in the midwest 'cause the farm chemicals make us grow big and strong.
I ate the leftovers of last night's Trader Joe's Chicken Curry and Bombay Lentils. T.J.'s makes fantastic Indian sauces and side dishes. Check 'em out.
The company served us our big Christmas dinner today. I got a plate of Ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and two rolls. Went back for another plate with a bit of ham, some more mashed taters, another roll and a piece of chocolate cake. Drank 2 cans of Pepsi with it and went back to work. Then I realized my mistake in eating so much. Think I'll skip supper tonight.
Today we had spanish food for LUNCH. Paella de Carne. I had a plate with Angela. Paella de Carne is meat paella of chicken and spanish sausage. We also had some Tarta de Queso which is seville orange and chocolate cheesecake for desert and some a bottle of Corona with lime each. I swear sometimes LUNCH is a party all in-itself.
Today I had Pasta Casablanca while I watched 12 Angry Men. Pasta Casablanca is pasta with shrimp, calamari, and mussels with green olives and capers. I let my girlfriend prepare the pasta today because I'm lazy while I worked on the seafood. I hate mussels but I dig calamari. It's a treat.

Awesome meal, I totally hate mussels too. Sounds like it was delish, glad you enjoyed!

Puerto Rican, Latin, Columbian, Dominican, all the Latin foods is one of my favorites. You made a wise choice. Glad you and Angela enjoyed it!
I am making lunch at home today. It is day 5 of 20 days without dining out. I think I can do this. I warmed up a chicken broth from Trader Joe's (only 5 calories/serving. HOLLA!!) and added grilled chicken from last night in small strips and lastly garlic, onions, and red peppers. Adding veggies after the soup is made keeps them fresh and crunchy like I like them. Can someone pm me with more ideas for chicken soup? No rice or flour please.

That's not pizza; that's a 10-pound casserole with pizza-like ingredients.
I myself had a pork mole/whole pinto bean/habanero hot sauce Taco Salad from Taco Del Mar.
Triple Cheese burger(really thin patties), an order of fried mushrooms from this little mom-and-pop fast food joint in town with a can of Cherry RC to wash it down.
just for the record, every day at about 3pm my time (noon on the west coast), i wonder to myself what loop is going to eat today for his luncheon. for the record, i am now making DINNER. i am making chicken wings, cornbread, white cake from a mix with homemade frosting, heating up green bean casserole from last night and also last night's au gratin potatoes. i'm making fudge for later, to eat while i hate myself for getting somewhat fat and swearing to get back on drugs for the new year so i am too skinny again.
I had a ground ham sandwich with green pepper, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce today. I washed this wonderful luncheon down with an old peculier. I haven't drank one in ages and have to thank my good pal b00z for hooking me up with a 20 pack. What a friend.
Spaghetti, made at home. Well, the sauce was store bought, but at least it wasn't a trip to a fast food joint today or lunch meat. I kinda like having a week off from work.
I had a vended reuben and a can of V8 on my usual skid on the third tier. A girl I'ive been seeing made the trip up to join me on the skid. She had a smallk tupperware with Christmas lasagna. I am biologically capable of being her father. I seem to remember my jacokoffs were cloudy around the time she wouldve been borned. She is a beautiful old soul compared to me, whicjh is only a hair of a rationalization. We like eachother. LUNCh was nice today.

I'm glad you decided to share this new siren of the warehouse with the board.
Today I had the chicken chimichanga arrangement of mexican goulash which always includes beans and lettuce and white cheese and guacamole and sour cream all plopped together on a "hot plate".

Please describe what she looks like. I would like to picture her face as I fantasize about violently degrading and defiling her as you weep in the corner. Merry Christmas!
5'7", maybe. Blonde hair, brown roots, shoulder length. Jeans Ts. 120 lbses therebouts. Tomboyish but dreamy, strong personality and sense of self. Jodie Foster era Five Corners maybe is a very good approximation. What you do with this informations is your own business. Happy New Year.

Roly Poly Sandwich Co. again today. 1/2 Key West Cuban, cup of chicken noodle soup and tea/lemonade mixed. It's sophomoric, but we ordered everything "roly-poly" as in "can I get another roly-poly pack of crackers?".
The color scheme is a little off-putting in there.
My girlfriend recently started hanging out with this Spanish bird called Mercedes and they've been cooking Mexican dishes almost everyday. It's kinda good because I've taken a break from preparing the meals, but it also sucks because I have no say in what to eat.
Yesterday we had Tortilla soup for LUNCH. It was served to me with Chicken enchiladas on the side (which really means its poured on the enchiladas). Too much food. I was full before I even began, but I still ate it.
Today we had Beef fajitas (grilled meat served on a flour tortilla with condiments). I also had the choice of rolled chicken tacos and jalapeno cheddar cheese poppers (something my girlfriend loves) and nacho chips with guacamole dip.
I'm getting used to Mercedes being here almost everyday and cooking, but my girlfriend has started accusing her of leaving farts around the house.
Today I had Pork and Sauerkraut and Kielbasa. Kielbasa is a Polish sausage. Sauerkraut is sliced white cabbage. I'm not exactly sure how my girlfriend makes this odd dish, I think she baked it then put it in a bun (like a hotdog). She says she does this on New Years. I washed it down with a pepsi cola then had some Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath bar crunch ice-cream (my favorite).
Tomorrow will be the last day the girlfriend cooks, so Wednesday will be more exciting dinning.
Today I had BBQ steak and Spanish rice. Spanish rice is prepared by browning the rice first with onions and garlic, before cooking it in chicken broth with added tomato. I washed my meal down with a fresh glass of ice-cold lemonade. That hit the spot!
Loop, my dad used to make Spanish rice like that. Delish!
Mid-day I had a craving for oatmeal. I like the good ol' fashioned Quaker Oats stove top. I cooked up some oatmeal and prepared the fixings mixed in a ceramic baby blue bowl. Blueberries, tons of cinnamon, and a tsp of raw honey. This is the most cooking I've ever done.

Just when I thought you were going to say for lunch you were wacking off another batch of oatmeal... I was shocked and proud to hear you actually cooked something. Bravo!
I had um... wheat thins and water and a meatball. Too tired to eat which is very unlikely of me. GRRR!!!
Quote: Loop, my dad used to make Spanish rice like that. Delish!
Yeah its nice man. My girlfriend likes the Spanish style cuisine.
Today I had Tod Oratiam Prik or Chicken with garlic and pepper sauce. The garlic and pepper sauce is really good but the peanut sauce that also came on the side side is not very appetizing. My girlfriend had Nuea Yang which is barbeque beef with dipping hot sauce. The hot sauce supposedly isn't very hot.

Why are you so tired, Gennifern? What are you grrangry about? Whencve from came the meatball? And couldn't a more fibrous and filling meal come from exactly the same amount of effort cprepartation and chewing wise as that pretentiously austeara snack? I care, baby. You knoiw I do.

Windsocky, in all honesty I was spending most of my time on the toilet yesterday than anything. I must have eaten something the days before that didn't agree with me. This explains my over abundance of posting yesterday. I tried to eat. The meatballs were home made by the way. Very yummy... and feelin better much better today.
For lunch I made soup from scratch to take it easy. Chicken broth, finely chopped garlic and onions, thinly sliced mushrooms, celery, chunks of potato. Italian Seasoning and some garlic powder. When all was ready I threw in a cup of rice inside to cook and topped with some fresh grated parmesan cheese when ready to serve.

Holy shit LoopNode that's the most atrocious thing I've ever read. My stomach hurts even more from laughing so god damn hard. Thanks man! But thankfully no, I don't eat pringles. PHEW!!!
Today I had a grilled cheese sandwich for LUNCH. I grilled the cheddar with tomato on whole wheat bread and added basil tomato dip. On the side I had lays classic potatoe chips and downed a small bottle of Martinelli's Apple Juice to wash the meal down.
I had Sanese vnding lasagna for lunch. It had a mint under the bread but I didnt know that until after the micronwave and it got melted. I ate it on my usual skid alone and provoked ,my pown tears because it felt better than dry despair. I'm alone again.
Today, my cubicle department had surprise pizzas and spinach/pine nut/goat cheese salad from Pizzacato, which is a small chain of gourmet pizza restaurants in Washington and Oregon whose most famous employee was Kurt Cobain (at some point).
A wonderful surprise, since my breakfast was minimal...
Today I had Orange flavored chicken (lightly battered boneless chicken bites tossed in a wok with sweet and sour orange sauce) and steamed white rice from Panda Express. I picked up a bottled water and some fried shrimp. The panda express fried shrimp is marinated, butterflied shrimp that is lightly battered and cooked until its golden brown. I ate this back at work.
Today I broke down and got sushi. I try and talk myself out of eating sushi because I know I could eat it everyday for a whole year. The worst part is that everytime I go to a Japanese restaurant, I always have designs to order something else, but always end up getting the same damn thing. Two girls that work at Asanebo know me, because I'd normally go there, take about 20 minutes leafing through the menu only to order 8 pieces of eel, sea urchins and shrimp.
Today I went to a local joint close to a gym. It's owned by this lady that looks like Yoko Ono. The only difference about her is that when she laughs, she let's her tongue stick out- almost as though shes waiting for you to do the same so the two tongues can touch and sword fight. When I called, to reserve my meal for pick up, she laughed when I mentioned I would opt mackerel for scallops. I imagined her tongue snaking into the mouth piece of her phone, and appearing into my ear.
When I went to get the food, she was there to great me, and said something about the whether we've been having then again the damn tongue.
I checked my food: 2 pieces of sea eel, shrimp, toro, spanish mackerel, 6-piece california hand roll, 2 piece sea urchin shiso roll, okra and a sashimi salad on the side.
I just had a Terrine of Foie Gras at Nico's house. The duck foie gras terrine was seasoned with sauternes and black peppers then served with brioche toast and a rhubarb-goji berry jam. Nico used to live in Lyons so he's got exqusite taste. He even popped a bottle of Chateau de Fontalem and asked me to tell him about work.
It's more like those "feeder girls" that were a topic here for a while. Supposedly it's now illegal to produce foie gras in California, and it's illegal to serve it in Chicago, yet the gagfactor marches on. I guess the quacking of a goose can't be taken as consent, yet the quacking of a whore is fine.
For LUNCH today, I had some pulled pork dumplings and cole slaw for starters before munching on pork chops, mashed potatoes and corn (from the tin). I washed this lovely luncheon down with a merlot from Sonoma; perfect way to start the weekend.
Capicola and Provolone sandwich with pepperocini slivers inside. And popped several lupini beans in between bites, chugged water at the end. YUMMY! Nice 'n spicey too!
Oddly enough, I had Provolone as well. About 1/3lb deli sliced with about 1 quart of water while watching HBO's Rome on demand. It was all I was hungry for.
The Mexican place in the mall does a mean cooked-to-order chimichanga, and knowing that I would be missing dinner, I went for it.
As it takes 5 minutes to assemble and deep-fry, I leisurely prepared lil' takeaway plastic containers of cilantro and chile de arbol to mix with the provided dollops of sour cream, guacamole, and the traditional (and humorous nod to "health") shredded lettuce. And, as another nod to "health" chose chicken instead of beef.
Urrrp...
BTW, it's not a Mexican invention (Mexico does not deep-fry) but rather something a restaurateur in Tuscon, AZ came up with a few decades ago...
Today I had a shrimp scampi at Dino's. I unfortunately ran into Mark and his new Russian girlfriend. Mark talks so much he doesn't give you a chance to give your input- so any conversation with him consists of you listening to him speak. This, amazingly, allowed me to enjoy my ice pilaf which was perfectly soaked in the wonderful lemony, garlicky butter from the shrimp. I had a crisp greek salad and some golden garlic toast on the side. Washed the meal down with a glass of Semeli Nemea Red wine. Mark's girlfriend had some too.
I just had a celery/apple/beet juice, freshly made, from a shop in West Hollywood whose name escapes me. I've been keeling over in stomach pain all day because last night was my first solid cooked meal (mahi mahi, veggies, and bread) since before AEE. The entire convention, as amazing as it was, had me busy and anxious about shoot deadlines; I had no appetite and the wafting smells of food in a packed restaurant disgusted me. I apologize for seeming anti-social for turning down any dinner invites. The only things I could stand were water, green tea, coffee, fruit, salads I brought from home, and a room service chicken soup. I'll eat more tmrw.
I had gnocchi at Linda's house. Linda is a producer who hates swearing. A list of things she hates reads as following:
1). Discussing pornography. /end of list
Anyway, I was talking to her and purposely started a conversation about porn and trannies. All this over a plate of gnocchi she had made for us. She included potatos and ricotta cheese and other ingredients that I wasn't too familiar with. I could have asked her about that, but prefered to talk about Arianna Jollee and the 15-tranny gangbang video.
Why would you behave toward a gracious host like that? Is there issues between yourself and Linda the Producer that you didn't disclose? You come across as not a very good person in this scenario as you have laid it out here, however dryly. I had several snacks today but no meals. One of them was a half a box of wheathins smothered in mustard in turn. I sweated.
I'm not exactly sure why I do it. I guess I'm not convinced she really dislikes it as much as she says she does, or maybe I just felt like talking about it. But she gets really cute when she gets mad.
There's nothing more suckage than being told im cute when pissed off!!!! It makes me wanna stomp off like a five year old. Well not really but it is frustrating.
Chicken sammich, with lots of fresh veggies, yummy!

Sounds like an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
I myself had two hot dogs: #1 Cajun hot link with yellow mustard and kraut; #2 cheddar frank with relish, onions and brown mustard.
Today I had Pita Chips and humus with Linda (again) at my place. We also had some crackers and cheese and pepperoni. Linda wants to have me go to Turkey and document the sex-trade industry. I think it's funny.

So your having harrassed Linda the Producer with unwanted talk of pornography has paid off. Good for you. Insolence sometimes has its perks, sir.
Quote: I was under the impression that the tropical oils and fats in an avacado were unhealthy. Where was I mislead?
Good God, the natural fat in avocado is very healthy. Just like olive oil! But like anything, too much and too little is never good. MMmmmm avocado, love it in salad.
I haven't had pasta for two weeks so I got the Pesto Cavatappi from Corner Bakery today. Pasta withdrawls is as bad as I'd imagine a meth withdrawl.
Today I meet some firends at Nick & Stef's Steakhouse downtown. I've never been to this place but I was very impressed by their menu.
They have something called The Wedge which is iceberg lettuce, cucumber, baby radish and blue cheese dressing. They also have something called the Maine Crabcake which is lump crabmeat, ginger remoulade and micro arugula salad. I went for the big eye tuna which is sashimi and tartare, soy-yuzu ponzu, crushed avocado and pumpkin seed oil. My girlfriend had a shrimp cocktail which is large pieces of shrimp, spicy-horseradish cocktail sauce and lemon. For the main corse we had Flat iron steak and had glasses of wine each. The damn starters are enough to substitute as meals in themselves.
Things to remember if you ever feel like going to this place: 1). Don't go alone. This is not a one-person friendly place. 2). Make sure you very hungry (or you eat a lot). The food comes in giant size and you will notice a lot of "jumbo" sizes on all the foods. 3). Act like your having the best time of your life (even if you're not). The manager just gave us his card and even took off 5% from the menu. I think it's because every time we'd take a swig of the wine we laughed like we were celebrating a lottery win. LA is about perfomance.
Been to Nik and Steph's and it is exactly that way. Loop's knack for descriptions are remarkable.
Today I came back from the gym and went to Erewhon near the CBS building on Beverly. Erewhon is a healthy grocery store with the largest selection of raw items, but honestly, everything else can be found at Whole Fods or Trader Joes for MUCH cheaper. Erewhon has the bar in the middle of the store where you tell the the 'bartender' your ailment and he mixes you a tonic tea or juice. I had a swig of wheatgrass for no reason and picked myself up a Thai curry made from nori seaweed, cashew nut flour, shredded carrots, coconut and curry. Then I walked down Fairfax and thrift shopped.
I'm all jealous of you *whimper* I went all day and night long without food but a couple swigs of Arrowhead water. I'm starving, feeling malnourished and so fucking hungry to the point of confusion, not knowing what to eat. GRRrr!!! I'm gonna gnaw on a few cumquats until I figure it out. I'm exhausted. Bed time is early tonight, it's been a dramatic week.
Gia, I saw you mention your liking to coffee in another thread. Is there a particular kind of coffee that you like/prefer? And how do you take it? Black?
Today I had LUNCH at I Cugini. I had their Carpaccio. Carpaccio is thinly sliced raw beef, veal or tuna. In Italy it's usually served as an appetizer, but in most capitalistic countries it's a meal all by itself. I Cugini offers three different varities of carpaccio, two of which are salads while the third is beef. I choose this one.
My carpaccio came with with red onion, chopped arugula, capers, parmesan and truffle oil. I washed this down with a heineken mini brew. Friday night starts early with me.
Appropos of nothing, here's a picture of my "Thai Pesto" that I use to make homemade Pad Ke Mao (yes, breaking a resolution of posting cooking pictures) [recipe from "True Thai"]
Mmmmm carpaccio & arugula sounds so good. Which reminds me of a great spread for panini's or any sandwich. You put a few blobs of mayo in a food processor, a big bundle of arugula and a clove of garlic. Viola! I need to call my pops, see if I can raid his kitchen.
I had Eggplant Parmigiana (I use the japanese eggplant, it's more tender and flavorful) with a small side of fettucini alfredo. Secret ingredient, small amount of nutmeg. Washed down with Numi Black Tea (hot).
Quote: Which reminds me of a great spread for panini's or any sandwich.
Another great, simple panini (now, due to the popularity of George Foreman grills, should be makeable for anybody) is a "Caprese" with tomato, basil and fresh mozzarella.
Of course, best made in the late summer when tomatoes are at their freshest (and cheapest).

Today I met Linda and Julie at Violet in Santa Monica. There was also a guy there with them who was introduced to me as Kevin. Right off the bat I knew this guy was gay. He wasn't one of the flamboyant homos either- more like the Rock Hudson types. He attached himself to Linda like a homunculus and nodded every-time she talked. This was beyond ass-kissing. The girls tried to talk me out of doing a music video for a firend of mine but I never gave them my answer. No way I'm spoiling my LUNCH over some stupid explanations.
If you haven't been to Violet you really need to go. Not because it's good- but because this is what LA is all about. Patricia Arquette loves this place and I can see why. You know how she speaks? That lazy I-used-to-do-drugs-I-now-I-have-no-emotion drawl, thats the atmosphere here, except nobody will admit it. It has a strange pace to everything and I blame it on Jared Simons' overrated reviews.
The LUNCH menu is small. I ordered Jidori chicken breast which comes with spinach gnocchi and gorgonzola. Julie had a house cured salmon with capers and chervil mousse. Linda went for the Serrano ham with pears, manchego and arugula. The gay guy had a bresaola; apple salad and walnut vinaigrette. How gay I thought.
One of Linda's friends sent our table a bottle of Clos Pegase when I got there and this is what we sipped with our meal. If you have designs to go to Violet go on Tuesday or Sunday night. I hear things shake up then. Make sure you get a reservation and prepare to pay serious dough for meal.
Quote: Patricia Arquette loves this place and I can see why. You know how she speaks? That lazy I-used-to-do-drugs-I-now-I-have-no-emotion drawl, thats the atmosphere here, except nobody will admit it.
Exact. Juliette Lewis and Zooey Deschanel has that sort of voice also.
Yeah, Juliette Lewis definately has that drawl down. I especially like how even when she gets excited all that happens is that her eyes widen and she sort-of smiles, but the drawl remains constant.
Anyhoo- lately I've really been experimenting; with food, work, photography etc. It's finally led to this. I invited Sparky over because I made enough food to feed the neighborhood. Sparky loves to feast.
First, we had some Gebackene Pilze that I made last night. Gebackene Pilze is deep fried mushrooms in breadcrumbs. We also had some Weinbergschnecken (Escargots in garlic sauce).
I've got some bratwurst that my girlfriend made this Sunday. I grabbed that and reheated it. Bratwurst by the way is a sausage with pork and beaf (sometimes veal too) served with Saute potatoes and sauerkraut. There was also Gebratene Schweinshaxn (Roast Pork knuckle) with saute potatoes and Bratkartoffeln with gemischtem salat (potatoes with mixed salad).
Sparky and I ate for almost 2 hours and gave up shortly afterwards.
Today I overheard a conversation between my cat Chinaski and my girlfriends Shoe. I could tell from her tone she was pissed. She's currently trying to find witnesses that will support her suspicion that my girlfriend and I have been getting high on wood chips and god sauce then eating her litter. I don't know how far she's willing to take these claims, but it's been a rough couple of days for her.
I made myself a Pasta Fettuccini at around 1:30pm today with louisiana shrimp, tomatoes, nicoise olives, sweet basil and extra virgin olive oil. I downed this meal down with a coke softdrink, but couldn't finsh it.
Quote: My cats always wait until I'm out of earshot. Sometimes when I come back they just look at me and nod at each other.
Cats have excellent eyesight.. Even between the multiple folds in your ponch..they have eyed your penor and knowingly nod to each other that the canned shrimp you feed them are 'MANDINGO" in size to your alleged manhood.
Today I had LUNCH at home with the gf and my friend TheStash who just got back from Europe. We had Salmon fillet on a bed of spinach with saffron sauce. I also had a pot of melted swiss chocolate dip for the furits and a couple of Pilsner Urquell's to wash down the food.
TheStash says he might move back to Europe permanently which actually isn't good news for me, because he's a really great friend. My girlfriend says he's doing drugs again- but I really don't think so.
Dear Loopnoden, If you ever become disatisfied or numbed or apanthetic or otherwise annoyed with the life you live, I am oiffering you a two week stay with myself in Ohio at any time. It is just the kind of slumming that will rejuvenate your humility and shake youir grounding in the way all artistys must have inj order to be receptive to their muse. And it has the advantage of not being set up by a pasndering travel agent.
I just had a shrimp salad I made myself with celery, onion, lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt and pepper, lettuce, thinly sliced tomatoes and crumbled bacon as garnish for the shrimp.
I think a silverfish crawled into my mouth while I was passed out, at lunch, from slipping and smashing my head on the kitchen counter. I flossed it's legs from between my teeth.
This thread scares me more then any on this forum.
Living on a tour bus suppresses my appetite. I don't do leftovers and am deathly afraid of microwaves. I plowed through my small suitcase of organic fruit and veggies in 3 days. The crew and I lunched at some chain thingy type place since there weren't many choices in Ohio and we're far from home in zero degree weather. I had a green salad, no dressing, and a cup of hot water. No longer do I get a to go box and pretend to eat it later but instead jette it when they're sleeping. It's implied that dining together is social and makes no dif if you eat or not. I took some mustard packets and tomato wedges back to the bus for a delicious snack later then lost my appetite because the A.P. dropped a frozen corndog on the floor, washed it off, then nuked it for his consumption.

Those would have been the "filaments" and/or antennae. The legs are far too short.
Interesting Silverfish fact: Silverfish can go an entire year without food!!

Do you ramble to yourself? You know, while walking down the street or taking the bus... Please tell me you do. If you don't, please do, just spew out random facts to yourself and shake your head a lot. It would totally fit your persona. Maybe make a movie and post it on youtube, so elaborator could post it here and we could laugh at you, instead of being completely annoyed by the inane vomit that you spew at no one's request. Why do I get the feeling your fingernails are long and yellow from lack of hygiene?
Not my fault you don't know about your choice of food!!
Do you ramble to yourself? You know, while walking down the street or taking the bus... Please tell me you do.
No. Sorry. Really.

If you agree to my fee schedule, I would consider it.
Actually when not on the phone, I sit quietly typing or writing in front of my tv and pc screens usually reclining a bit in my leather swivel chair. From time to time I pet a cat.

Again, we can discuss a fee schedule, but at my requested pay scale it might prohibit the choice of a youtube posting. And, NOTHING stops you from laughing at me NOW!
instead of being completely annoyed by the inane vomit that you spew at no one's request.
The prospect that I annoy you pleases me greatly!
The vision of you gagging, crying, your mucous membranes burning, while you are dragged inexorably down, down, down to drown to death in a spiraling whirlpool vortex at the confluence of several of my viscous vomit spews, all-the-while knowing that you will die without the opportunity to announce your 307th retirement from XPT, rocks!! It fucking ROCKS!!
BTW, for me to "act on request" I must be paid to my satisfaction.
FatMan = Capitalist
Why do I get the feeling your fingernail's are long and yellow from lack of hygiene?
No idea. How could I type like that?
Please post any replies to this as cage thread as to not continue derailment of Loop's LUNCH.

fatman is like the internet version of the t-1000, except he's fat and runs really slow. I don't know what to use against a guy who not only admits, but celebrates the fact that he is a loser on every conceivable level. What is your weakness fatman? I'm perplexed. Let me go through the list of stuff I know.
fatman:
fat
loser
rambles
way too much free time
male equivalent of cat lady
bipolar
bad knees
possibly suicidal/cries for attention from time to time
people avoid him on the bus
oblivious

Actually when not on the phone, I sit quietly typing or writing in front of my tv and pc screens usually reclining a bit in my leather swivel chair. From time to time I pet a cat.
Maybe make a movie and post it on youtube, so elaborator could post it here and we could laugh at you,
Again, we can discuss a fee schedule, but at my requested pay scale it might prohibit the choice of a youtube posting. And, NOTHING stops you from laughing at me NOW!
instead of being completely annoyed by the inane vomit that you spew at no one's request.
The prospect that I annoy you pleases me greatly!
The vision of you gagging, crying, your mucous membranes burning, while you are dragged inexorably down, down, down to drown to death in a spiraling whirlpool vortex at the confluence of several of my viscous vomit spews, all-the-while knowing that you will die without the opportunity to announce your 307th retirement from XPT, rocks!! It fucking ROCKS!!
BTW, for me to "act on request" I must be paid to my satisfaction.
FatMan = Capitalist
Why do I get the feeling your fingernail's are long and yellow from lack of hygiene?
No idea. How could I type like that?
Please post any replies to this as cage thread as to not continue derailment of Loop's LUNCH.
fatman is like the internet version of the t-1000, except he's fat and runs really slow. I don't know what to use against a guy who not only admits, but celebrates the fact that he is a loser on every conceivable level. What is your weakness fatman? I'm perplexed. Let me go through the list of stuff I know.
fatman:
fat loser rambles way too much free time male equivalent of cat lady bipolar bad knee's possibly suicidal/cries for attention from time to time people avoid him on the bus oblivious
Let me know if I've missed anything.
Not cool dude. I didn't even think it was possible to derail a thread simply called "LUNCH"
Not cool dude. I didn't even think it was possible to derail a thread simply called "LUNCH"
Derailing threads is what xpt is about, tard. Point out one thread that stayed on topic and I'll show you how boring lunch really is.
Not so much homie, i'd say it's more about having an uncensored forum to discuss anything you want. I could give a damn about this thread anyway, so be my guest.
You really should lay off The Fatman tho, he's a good guy... but, as I said, it's uncensored.
fat Very! rambles Always!! way too much free time Obviously ... male equivalent of cat lady I can see that. bipolar Is there a doubt? bad knee's More like a disaster of a right knee. possibly suicidal/cries for attention from time to time Sadly. people avoid him on the bus Only because I take up more than 1 seat.
loser Excuse me! That's Mr. Loser!! I've made that quite clear!
oblivious VERY VERY WRONG.
1. lacking remembrance, memory. Are you kidding?? Most hate me for expounding on my "recollections" and I jump at most trivia mentions.
2. lacking active conscious knowledge or awareness No one I know of has more awareness of themselves. It's not a lack of awareness. I KNOW, I just don't CARE!
MISSING:
Small penis. Meds impede ability to achieve orgasm. Overly polite to women. Phobic of STDs. The picture with the hair & beard. Always misspells the word "Grammer". Obsessed with Lindsay Lohan & Cherish/Cali Marie.
My weakness is blonde girls with an "angelic" faces.
The last few days have been retarded busy for me so I've stopped at Whole Foods prior to my destination to grab carob covered raisins, salt and vinegar baked potato chips, albacore sushi, picked up a vanilla latte to guzzle this morning before I ate my sushi, ate the rest throughout the two days while coating all the goodness in my tummy with my favorite pomegranate juice.
And of course a 1.5 L bottle of water each of those days. Running around a lot gets me vewwwwwyyyy thirsty!!!
I had a bacon lovers sandwich today. I got it from the store, where I picked up a newspaper and some magazines. Sparky says he's not coming out of his house for a while so he had me pick him up some reading material. I've even taken the liberty of getting some books for him, because he's not much a reader so really doesn't know whats good and what's not. I feel like that guy who delivered food to Adrien Brody in The Pianist, with the only difference being that the world isn't being bombed; I wish it were though.
Me and a buddy went to DQ. I had a Popcorn Shrimp Basket(they only have them form around the time Lent starts until they run out of shrimp). I told him a story about how the night before, a mutual friend of ours' convinced me take him to a strip club(75 miles away, when the closest one was only about 50 miles) only to find out after he paid his way in, he only had two bucks left. The guy wanted to go to a strip club, with only 9 bucks in his pocket. Guess who had to loan him 20 bucks for a lap dance ? Oh well, at least he gave me the free T-shirt he got with the dance(yes, they ran a special "buy a lap dance, get a free T-shirt with the name of the strip club printed on it"), but only because it was too big for him. We had a good laugh about it, and exchanged some other stories about our friend. Then we both went home.
Today for LUNCH:
king prawns in olive oil, fresh garlic, ginger, red peppers, red onion, chillis and indian style rice in balti sauce(medium cause of chillis)by loyd grossman.
It only took 15mins to prepare and cook. TheStash came over today and admitted to me that he has developed a Catholicism fetish. Also, he has this new friend called What who he says is addicted to psilocybe cubensis. What is actually very attractive; TheStash says he's trying to hit it.
I took the gf to Campanile today for some deep fried polenta and pan seared loup de mer with cipolini onions and baby carrots. I had a grilled snapper with baby broccoli and grilled bread with bagna cauda. We had some wine or rather which I forgot the name because I'm not a wine person, I'm not even sure why I bother with it. I think I'm going to stop soon.
Hi, loopnode. I really hate you. But I al;so love you. Iyt's weird. For LUNCH I had truna on whole wheat bread. Therer was winter storm here. I was glad to be snowed in.
I spent the whole of last night, and the better have of today setting up cameras to shoot 3 minutes worth of video that ended up not happening. So I took some film I had in a canister and began to scratch it. At about 3:30pm the gf came home with her friend Emma and they asked me to join them for LUNCH.
So I grabbed one of the big burritos they had (btw, these were giant burritos) and began munching down. This burrito had sauteed peppers and onions, guacamole and rice and I believe very few beans. I had scraps of film all over the floor and as usual the girls failed to notice this. After they left, I took the ends of their hair (from the brushes they used in the bathroom) and glued these onto the film. I then took bits of newspaper, found film stock and other bits and pieces of garbage and stuck it on the reel. I will stick this on a 3inch spool on Saturday (or Sunday) and see what I can make of it.

That's wonderful. David Lynch is like "Film is a dinasaur" even though the apparatus around the mediunm is til in full force.
Today started like any other day, I woke up with a hangover and did some yoga (don't ask). I then went to make myself a frosty glass of soda before heading downstairs to work on my film but I got a headache so I decided to lay down on the bed for a second. I came too on TheFoot's living-room floor covered by him. I asked TheFoot "What the hell?" and he responded "You really thought you couldn't be touched eh?" I had no idea what was going on and was completely disoriented. Turns out that I had been footnapped. TheFoot did however make me a ham sandwich with some lay classic chips on the side which were laced with drugs (I think) because I passed out while TheFoot played with my pooper and shaved my ass hairs.
Day 2 and I'm still at TheFoot's mercy. Woke up early enough and began working whilst I sipped on some Hot Chocolate and a bagel with cream cheese. Then at about 1230hrs I began to make LUNCH. I normally always prepare extra food when I cook (so if I'm eating alone I make enough for 2 people and so on).
I made spaghetti bolognese with 4 ounces pancetta (not bacon), 1/2 pound pork sausage (removed from the casings) and 2 cans of crushed tomatoes and their juice. The rest of the ingridents were the usual; organo, cinnamon, dried thyme, 3/4 cup diced celery and carrots, freshly chopped parsley leaves and a cup of chicken stock.
I now have to go back to work, splice my film and write a fscking report as TheFoot stands behind me watching my every move.
Today TheFoot went window shopping which gave me ample time to eat LUNCH alone. I had Indian curry rice (made with freshly crushed garlic, ginger, red chillies and coriander) and grilled tandoori chicken. Now you might be wondering why I mention freshly crushed spices: the reason being I don't go the route of buying curry powder which actually gives a different taste- I made my own curry. Also more importantly, you need these spices fresh if you want them to burn your toungue (which esentially is the taste).
I did the chicken myself with chopped serrano, paprika, white onion, garam masala, cayenne, yogurt and turmeric on a 4 1/2 pound chicken cut into 8 pieces.
I had to wash this meal down with about 2 cans of Coke pop. TheFoot returned somewhere around this time dragging my girlfriend with it whilst “damn it feels good to be a gangsta†by the Ghetto Boys blasting out of the car stereo. I haven't projected my film yet because I'm still at the mercy of TheFoot.

True Indian cooking never uses "curry powder." My favorite cookbook is Madhur Jaffrey's "Indian Cooking", a spice- and ghee-stained paperback from the early 90's where every recipe requires a unique spice mix, and ingredients are added to the pot at various times for various durations. Without an organized spice "rack" (I purchased little, stackable metal tins, and labelled them*), cooking several of these recipes could spiral into a time-consuming disorganized fuck-fest.

loopnode is becoming increasingly bizarre. Is this normal behaviour?
Today I went to Nishimura on Melrose for some sushi. The gf and her homegirl rwhom meet me there because they wanted a free luncheon experience. If I knew, I'd have gone to burger king instead.
I had an assorted plate of sashimi: nigiri, ebi (cooked shrimp), maguro (tuna) and ika (squid). The ika is always my favorite. The girls both had kushiyaki with white rice and miso soup. Kushiyaki is food on skewers; enokidake mushrooms, thin slices of beef, asparagus spears, long onions and shichimi togarashi (VERY spicy pepper). I had Nippon's finest export, Sapporo, with my LUNCH while the girls opted for green tea.
Theres a lovely waitress working at Nishimura who I know would look good on my tiki.

This LUNCH makes me very uncomfortable in that no mention of the Foot is made anywhere in it.
TheFoot went to the Oscars yesterday and wore my tux. It left Saturday morning leaving a note asking me to "Siphon bodily fluids out of the hot tub" and to "handwash it's underwear." I instead managed to fill the hottub with vodka and got drunk just soaking in it. TheFoot returns on Wednesday.
Today I had home made fried chicken with mashed potatoes and some corn (from the can) on the side and a coke. The fried chicken was made with my own 'secret' seasoning and flour- then fried until it was golden brown but crispy. I fry with really hot oil to seal the moisture in the chicken.

Why do you always mess up your fanciful lunches with goddamn Coke? Arent you British? Drink Tea! or water or something. That sugary bullshit drink would only mess up the taste of everything I would think.
So America's stock market dives big time because China's did? Doesn't seem to healthy to me.
elaborator, TheFoot isn't a filmmaker, but it pretty much does what it wants. Yesterday it returned and had me and my girlfriend eat the cat litter and drink god sauce (for the second time). I don't even think it had an invitation to the Oscars but it still went.
I don't really know why I drink so much Coke. Before I was only drinking Pepsi then the taste became too much for me (it's sweeter than Coke) and I decided to move to something more mild but high in sugar content. Probably because I need the power to stay up late. I spend most of my afternoons drinking water and talking to mini-beast so overral I think my mommy would be happy about how I'm taking care of my figure. :wink
I arm not being presumptuous but I think you should call Authorities on theFoot. Unless I don't nderstand that relationship it seems to me that this entity is violating you and loved ones with no provocation or invirtation. If thius is whole thing a funny little abraction joke then I apologize, but being the soul I am I can't but respond to such oppressive injustice but like I am.
TheFoot has been spending the last couple of days in bed, having me and the gf serve it like slaves. I'm not sure how long I can keep up with this, particularly when I got a call from TheStash. TheStash says it misses my wikki wik ways and I in turn told TheStash I miss its fuzzy touch and how I used to find food in it for LUNCH.
Today being the first and all I had some orange chicken and steamed rice with vegetables on the side. There's this chinese dude that delivers orange chicken to my friend Colin and he in turn usually brings me some (especially if I ask for it). It sometimes gives me a break from cooking, but I always prefer to do the rice myself. I washed this luncheon down with some green tea.
Colin found a shoe lace belonging to TheFoot. He asked me what he should do with it and I told him to put it somewhere secure. This could be the key to my freedom.
For of all the good news. TheFoot is currently residing at Sparky's house. How long it will be there I don't know, but it called this morning at 5am telling me it doesn't care for my wiki wiki ways anymore.
To celebrate, I met Linda at Traktir for LUNCH. It's a grim turn for the third coming of the red, green and gold, czarist-fantasy eatery where the spirit of Rudolf Nureyev clings. Linda commented that I seemed different and kept asking me to tell her what was different, but I know better than to kiss and tell so I just attributed it to this new chick working down the hall from my office from North Dakota (more on her later).
We started off with Borscht soup before advancing to zakuski platter (Russian hoes d'oreuvres) and finally chicken Kiev. First things first, Russian food is hard to get into. Just like Russian humor it's dry and odd, and for reasons unknown to me, every Russian resaturant is expensive. I forked out almost $70 for this luncheon experience ($48 for the kiev alone). Tomorrow I'm going to Carl's Jr and grabbing a patty for less than a tener.
Stopped by Ruby's diner today. Had some chili fries smothered with ruby's chili then a Ruby's club- roasted turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomatoe, mayo and avocado on a roll. I treated myself to a chocolate banana malt. I now have enough sugar to see me through the weekend; this should be interesting.
Today I got a call from The Stash. He told me "Come to my place immediately. I have something to show you." and I said "What? Is it really that important?" and he said "It is. I promise."
So I left for The Stash's place. I hate going to his place because he is very untidy. I mean really. He has tons and tons of things all over the place and he is also not normal. But I went because ocassionally, The Stash has done some pretty remarkable things.
I arrived at his place at just about 1:23pm. I remember because immediately I got there I regreted it. He had invited a couple of his friends (who aren't my friends so I hate them) and they were sitting in his living room obviously waiting for me. The joke (whatever it was) was on me- the late commer. The Stash said "Oh you-are-going-ta LUV THIS" stressing the last two words like they were a hint for what I was about to be shown. Two of his friends are called Blair and I think Sandy. Sandy dyed her hair blood red and Blair looks like a porn reject. I'm not kidding.
So The Stash diped the lights and sat near me. He has a projector he and another friends called Tristan stole from a run-down theatre in Tacoma Washington. As the countdown was going he whispered in my ear "Don't worry- after this we're having LUNCH. On me."
The film started. It was a puppet movie- or rather a film he made with some puppets. Very crude, but kinda interesting. I knew now why he had called me.
A couple of months ago I remodelled my garage to build a set. I put a bunch of shit in boxes and moved them out of the garage into a storeage facility. A bunch of friends would come over and help- The Stash being one of them- and ocassionally steal something here and there (thats LA for you). The Stash made out with 3 puppets I got from France. My girlfriend also made the mistake of giving him a box of mine that was full of shit I used to make sets (or whatever) which he used to build his set. His puppets had a car, a house and even clothes- all taken from shit he stole from my place. His film was about a kid called Dime who was being molested by his father called Dad who was a big fan of a filmmaker called Joe Egard (a reference to an old mutal friend). Dime was being molested by his father, then had his father drive him to meet Joe to appear in his film as an extra- the whole time the dad told Dime how great Joe was. Finally when Dime meet Joe, he was molested. Then the film ended.
The Stash said "I'm going to submit this to the film festival. I want you to back me up."
Usually I'd be mad, but to be honest, there was something about the film that I loved. The Stash shot it on 8mm film because he's stupid, and he also did all the voices and even the music. I was impressed. He busted out some crackers and cheese and pepperoni and we ate. It felt very juvenile, but you know, it came from an honest place. And that, pretty much was my day.
Monday I went down to my Congressman at Journal Square to get a passport issue straightened out. The woman who handles this was out to lunch, so I left the info and went to lunch myself.
I decided to go to "Sava Polish Diner", a restaurant I discovered when on jury duty. Basically, it's an older woman dishing out different items her family cooked for the day. Some are "standards", some are "specials".
I went with the fried chicken breast, a piece of stuffed cabbage, kasha and a cabbage mixed she refers to as "white garbage". I decided to pass on the pierogies because there were already too many carbs on my plate [rice in the cabbage and the buckwheat] and the white flour used. They are exceptional, though.
You get this on a standard styrofoam plate filled to overflowing with plastic utensils. She then thinks up a price for it - even if you get the exact same thing tomorrow it likely will not cost the same. So I paid $7 for the food and a can of diet soda.
Then you find a spot at one of the thick, sturdy old-time solid oak tables. The chairs match. Both need to be restained.
As always the food was excellent!! The chicken breast was pounded paper thin and the batter was mostly seasoned eggs and was quite interesting. The stuffed cabbage was exceptional. Very much like my Hungarian grandmother used to make, except no ground meat. I mix the kasha with the "white garbage" since I like the different taste and textures together.
After I was done I got a call to tell me my passport issue was solved. Since I was overjoyed and the weather was nice I decided to walk the 3-4 miles home.
This lunch served me quite well as all I had after that were some grape tomatoes, baby carrots and a huge grapefruit I get from Costco.
Today I had to order for some sushi because I'm going through withdrawls. Lots of shrimp tempura hand rolls, okra, kappa, saba, ika and ebi. Got it delivered from Matsuhisa, and from the looks of things, they don't like to deliver.
I made some pizza today because I haven't had any in quite some time. I used an easy recipe to make the crust with bread flour (to get a crispy crust) and added pepperoni, green peppers, jalapeños, mushrooms, tomatoes, Italian sausage and red onions. Sprinkled very little mozzarella ontop (as my main priority is to get a flaming hot pizza) and baked it for 15 minutes. I then sprinkled some more mozzarella and rang up my gf to come get some.
Today I made a garden salad with fresh vegetable dippers. The dipping I made from 8 ounces of low-fat plain yogurt, 1/2 cup light sour cream and shredded carrots, chopped green onions, diced radishes, finely chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. I had some cold water with this luncheon and now I'm having some Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. In my opinion, this is the best coffee ice-cream. I'm on the look out for a drink that would be similar in taste. If you know of one, write to me here or pm me the recipe.
Sushi in South Beach earlier at Dojya's or something like that then Lulu's in Ft Lauderdale. Jesus, people, didn't we just eat? The pool was dead considering the grey skies so we called up my buddy Tina to meet at Lulu's. I forgave the 4 years passe rhinestone nameplate belt for the denim mini jacket barely covering her natural c-cup tits- plus she's just adorable and totally oblivious to her beauty. She had a virgin strawberry daquari while I had my standard grilled chicken salad with a side of avacados. Lulu's is great upscale bar food but I docl points for any place that makes their salads from solely iceberg lettuce instead of mixed field greens plus no bottled water. Later back on Las Olas Blvd, we sped skated in our sneakers on slick pavement through the mimi hail storm back to the hotel.
Gee, I thought this would be an endearing tribute to Penny Flame's puppy pal the passed away recently given how sweet, innocent, and cuddly most of you seem to be.
I just had some mashed potatoes, corn on the cob (buttered), pork chops and corn bread. My girlfriend made this luncheon because we had this argument about doing dishes and I won so she had to cook. I love that.
Last night The Queen made baked feta cheese chicken breasts, it was delicious. As soon as I heard what she was preparing I already had my mind made up that the leftovers would be pilfered for one of my favorite lunchtime meals: chicken salad. So, I prepared the chicken with some Miracle Whip salad dressing, lemon, salt, pepper and a little basil. The feta cheese chicken salad wrap on a flour tortilla was born. Very satisfying.
Today was the first day I had time to have a real lunch for weeks. It was a beautiful spring day in the 70's and I had lunch with a pal at the South Street Seaport at an outdoor cafe. Does it really matter what I ate in that weather? Anyway, Grilled Chicken Ceasar salad.
Today I had Risotto Prosciutto Rucola. I made it myself in the kitchen with the following ingredients:
- Rucola - Garlic - Fresh Onions - Italian cheese - Risotto rice - a tomato - butter - soup - Proscutto di Parma
It took an hour to prepare and I was listening to some French horror movie soundtrack. I do not think that you need to listen to French horror movie soundtracks to prepare this meal though.
Just cut the onions, garlic and rucola and stir them in hot butter; then add rice and soup, until the risotto is done. Finally, add stripes of proscutto, cheese and the tomato and enjoy a wonderful luncheon experience.
Today my friend 777 came over to my place. 777 has a spanish girlfriend who doesn't like me very much. She thinks everytime 777 is over at my place I will corrupt him. The truth is, I expose 777 to things he never dreams of, and then I send him on his merry way.
Today our friend TheNotSoHumbleBabe had brought over some Porkolt and Goulash for us (me and the gf). Goulash is a spicy dish made up of beef, onions, red peppers, and paprika powder from Hungary. Porkolt is a hot stew that my girlfriend loves. I don't care for it too much unless it has sour-cream and dumplings. Eating this dish raw (without the sour-cream and dumplings)is torture to the tongue, but I think some people can handle this.
So 777 had some goulash with mashed potatoes and spatzle. I had mine with polenta and a nice mineral water to wash down as I told 777 about the Russian Amabassadors daughter and how beautiful she is.
Paul's Heavenly Palace on the corner of Second Ave and St. Marks Place. The best kept secret in NYC. Had a 1/2 pound Bacon Cheeseburger (no bun) and a bowl of pickels. Yumm. Seriously, if you get to NYC, skip Le Circue and hits Pauls.
Today's lunch has been canceled. I was supposed to go to a little cafe on 161st and River Avenue for hot dogs and beer. We were welcoming back our friend Andy to the Bronx. Looks like a shitty sandwich in my office instead. Grrrrr.
I went on a set where my buddy Shots is shooting. I haven't seen Shots in years so it was kinda nice hanging out behind set for a change. The kraft food is good too.
Today it was spanish rice and BBQ steak. The lady handling the craft services is a Greek and makes the best homemade leomonade EVER. I swear, this woman should sell this recipe and she'll make a fortune.
Today I had a very interesting LUNCH. Garlic Pita chips with humus at the cafe plaza downtown. I also had a Greek Salad on the side, ordered for me by this asian chick called Sarah. She sat at my table and told me "I prefer to eat a big breakfast, so I can miss lunch and have a lite dinner."
I visited a friend in the hospital who underwent a procedure called a cardiac ablation to treat atrial tachycardia. It involves killing small areas of the heart muscle which are causing the arrythmia...fascinating stuff. Anyhow, we visited, and she requested a pizza from my favorite restaurant, Uncle Sal's, named for it's former owner Salvatore Gravano. So we opted for the mediterranean pizza with a savory white sauce, spinach, kalimata olives, feta cheese and artichoke hearts. And the largest one since Catholics traditionally fast on Good Friday. But since Martin Luther drank beer at the Diet of Worms, I shall do the same, starting right now.
Dude, the Gravanos' don't own it anymore; they're incarcerated for running a huge X ring. It was bought by another family who are not connected. And yeah, for a neighborhood Italian joint in the middle of the desert, it's great.
Best Pizza I've ever had outside New York is this joint on Haight Street called Escape from New York Pizza, run by an ex-cop from Brooklyn. Actually gave me a free slice when I told him my last job was managing a Pizzaria on Staten Island. Pretty Good, but you could tell the water made the difference. I don't think I ever had AZ pizza, but the last time I was there was over 25 years ago, when my parents were thinking of moving there.
Well, BRUNCH, actually. I just read this article in the Times and instantly knew what I was having as soon as the Restaurant up the street opens in three hours :The History of Eggs Benedict.
I was about to go out for LUNCH as I usually prefer to do, but the asian cleaning ladies brough us food. What a surprise. They say they cooked it themselves but I could swear this was take-out.
Not sure what the meal really is because they don't speak very good english but it's steamed rice with lots of vegetables (asparagus and chopped carrots), boiled shrimp and something that I either suspected to be a muscle or octopus. Everyone else opted for the chicken and steamed rice with king prawns, but I decided to be a little more adventurous.
I downed this meal with some water, and like everything else chinese- there's tons of this food still around.
Quote: I was about to go out for LUNCH as I usually prefer to do, but the a[sic]sian cleaning ladies brough us food...
My maid brings food on ocasion. I also "appreciate" her daughter coming along; she is legal (sexually snd migrationally), and will sometimes just whip up food from whatever is left in the refrigerator...great future this woman has.
Today was a strange day. I went to the bibliotheque in Santa Monica to grab some books on Greek Mythology when I started talking to one of the girls there called Annie. We were first talking about pretty normal stuff- cooking, travelling etc when suddenly the conversation shifted to her being a slave. Naturally I thought she meant something of a sexual nature, but as she explained, she "cooks meals for her partner and watches him eat. Nothing sexual occurs, he simply eats and leaves." I asked her what kind of relationship is that and she said it's exactly the sort that she prefers. I had a pretty difficult time accepting this ludicrous story but I also had to admit I knew little about the whole slave-master thing. She gave me her number with a little note of some clubs she goes to and said "Maybe I'll see you there sometime."
Afterwards I went to a flower shop to get some info on growing orchids. The guy there was extremely gay and spoke a lot with his hands- flairing them everywhere like a jew at meal time.
I then headed off to Louise's Trattoria for some Grilled Chicken Skewers and Shrimp Scampi. The chicken is marinated with sesame and ginger then skewered and firedgrilled and served with a peanut dipping sauce and mango cilantro slaw. The Shrimp Scampi is fresh prawns prepared scampi style and served with angel hair pasta aglio e olio then finished with chopped roma tomato and parsely. I polished this luncheon off with a Boston's Samuel Adams beverage and headed home with a lot to think about.
LUNCH is a fascinating part of the day- moreso on a day like this.
Today I had pita-bread covered with melted cheese with a twist, a few spoons out of a jar of pre-made pasta sugo and a Tangerine Kiwifruit Salad with Cranberry Dressing which I made myself with 2 kiwifruits, peeled and thinly sliced, 2 tangerines also peeled and thinly sliced, whole-berry cranberry sauce, 1/2 cup low-fat strawberry yogurt and a few lettuce leaves.
Today is my cheat day. It was Taco Bell. Two tostadas, a chicken quesadilla, a beef and potato burrito and a Mountain Dew. Gonna burn that off at jujitsu class. I got a whole week to think of what crap Im going to eat next Friday.
Lettuce, tomato, and cucumber salad topped with an amazing "Ken's steak house" brand caesar dressing. I followed this with Pasta and grilled aubergine at "Il Girasole", washing this delicious luncheon down with a Samuel Adams Boston lager.
Work is horrible. I've been projecting 16mm loops of found footage for the past 2 days and I feel like I'm going insane. My only consolation is Margarita Levieva at the digital studio next door standing by the door holding a water bottle and laughing hysterically at footage of a menstrual cycle cartoon by disney on the curtains.
Today my homeboy Sparky came through with a couple of Quesadillas and two fajita burritos (pronounced fa-heat-ah) with sauteed peppers, veggies and extra guacamole (thats me).
Being a cheap ass, Sparky didn't get a drink, so he mooched off my ale.
Today: Garden salad with tomatoes, carrots, onions, gratted cheese and ranch dressing. Washed this down with some green tea, then had some wasabi nuts.
Moving hands around a lot as though to help illustrate their point whilst getting more animated when certain words are uttered such as "ME" and "THESE".
The lid for my bottle of olive oil broke today when I was making sauce for my lobster dressing and filled the saucepan half full with oil. I thought "fuck it" and carried on cooking as before.
To compensate, I changed dishes from Tartara di Tonno Rosso to Burrata Caprese with extra creamy mozzarella. I then sliced seared roast beef and made a Carpaccio, then polished this luncheon down with a homemade milkshake.
I stuck the lobster in the fridge and will have to figure out whether I want to invite someone over to dinner for food poisoning.
WTF? Forgive my bewilderment as I see this thread for the first time... I mean how would you react? It's like stepping into an opium den, I'm still getting used to the dim lighting, the thinness of the air, wondering who is lying across the room...
I had a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich from the deli today with a glass of milk. Would you believe it? 1/2 pound rib-eye steak, very very thinly sliced, 1/3 pound thinly sliced white American cheese on 2 fresh Italian sandwich rolls with garlic, salt and Italian pickled peppers. Hit the spot.
I spent Sunday building an entertainment center for my girlfriend. We grilled some nice ribeyes from AJ's market for dinner, but it was way too much meat. I repaid myself by getting blind drunk Sunday night; today's LUNCH was little more than some leftover beef, pretzels and Fresca.
Today for LUNCH i started with a lavazza coffee and fruchtebrötli: wholemeal fruit bread with whole roasted hazlenuts etc in it! then I had my two mandarins, and then the main part; some soba noodles with ente (duck) and prawns in a swissified (really strong /salty) noodle soup.
My girlfriend has her brother and his girlfriend coming over from today until Saturday which means I have to play along with the hosting which pretty much ruins a lot of what I had planned for the week.
Today I had a roast beef subway sandwich. The Roast Beef sandwich is explained as being "a classic favorite, the stuff dreams are made of" though I must say this is a little of a stretch. It's basically sliced roast beef and standard vegetables packed on wheat bread (or italian) that subway likes to remind people only has 6 or less grams of fat. I got a free fountain drink and a small bag of classic lays. Fairly normal but this weekend is going to be hectic so I needed something simple and clear.
today i had 5 diet coke plus's for lunch, i was starving by 6 went to a local bar, played video blackjack and ate a turkey club, lost 100, won 200, lost 40, lost 100, won 150
Today I had ravioli with alfredo sauce with Linda. I made the alfredo sauace myself while Linda did the salad. She insisted on doing something.
I had my LUNCH with a cold glass of water, while Linda washed hers down with wine. I'm currently working on an OST. I have currently done 6 tracks and have 30 more to do. Once I'm done with those, I will have 35 more albums to make all with 36 tracks- so LUNCH will be very important the next couple of months.
I warmed up a ham and cheese Hot Pocket and tried to eat it too soon after it came out of the microwave. Burnt my tongue. Damn short lunch breaks and having to shove you food down your throat instead of getting to enjoy it. Washed it down with a Cherry RC(the best freakin' soda in the world).
I indulged my basic instincts in a very non-lady like way at Ihop, hidden away from the eyes of the paparazzi. The Big Basic, sausages and scrambled eggs with Swedish crepes and coffee. Don't tell anyone.
Vanessa is right, this isn't a very appetizing image to post here, especially when it has nothing to do with a wonderful luncheon. Speaking of which... brb.
I had chicken with Spanish rice and a side dish of spinach. Only thing I had to drink with it was a can of Monster energy drink since there isn't anything else in the house to drink. Guess I'm going grocery shopping later tonight.
Had some watermelon at home, worked out, had a vanilla myoplex protein shake in the parking lot before driving off. Anyone else find it too hot to eat the past month or so?
Quote: Anyone else find it too hot to eat the past month or so?
I haven't noticed- but then again, I've been eating nothing lots of salads and sushi.
Today I had the Hercules sandwich and a cup of gumbo for lunch at the Fyxx. Yesterday I had the Fired sandwich and a salad from the Fyxx.
Later I went to the Fox studio to meet a guy called Frenchie (his real name is Jean but I call him Frenchie). At the parking lot I noticed a hippyish looking woman in her late 50s, kinda heavy. I asked the guard what her deal was and he told me she hangs out around most of the studios looking for work as an extra, supposedly she's done it for years but this was the first time I ever noticed her.
I went up to her and said "You wouldn't happen to be an actress would you?" and she did this odd dance as she came up to me then said "I am!" She did a few impressions and even said she could sing. Then I said "That's all pretty impressive. What would you say makes you unique from the other actresses though?" She smiled and said "I have green pubes- see!" and with that she parted her dress and pointed to her crouch with it's green dyed pubic hair. Then she said "you see?" I said "I see. You're hired." I got her number and told her I'd call her ASAP. I think she'd be great on a kids network show.
TheFoot took over Sparky's home and from what I remember him telling me, converted most of his living room into a recording studio. Supposedly, TheFoot is aspiring to do some music in the near future and is using Sparky's credit cards to support itself.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner was Coronas across the board for me yesterday. Some old fraternity brothers were in town and we spent the day trying to be 19 again.
When I first saw the image of this runaway girl on the streets of London I was shocked and almost started crying. I was 16 when I ran away from home and ended up spending a night on the streets of London. I was carrying all my belongings with me, a heavy bag, a backpack and a sleeping bag. Without any clear destination I was roaming the streets near Victoria Station, looking for a place on the streets where I could lay down and sleep, in an unknown city in, an unknown country, close to midnight. A perverse looking stranger approached me asking me if I knew what time it was. Had it been Bruce Davidson, he might have taken a very similar picture to the one we see above.
Next day for lunch I had the cheapest and most filling food I could find. I had a bottle of milk and a loaf of disgusting white English bread.
Today I had Languine with Shrimp sauce at home. I used 1 pound of small shrimp, with their shells, 3 tablespoons thinly sliced pickled peperoncini, 1 small lemon, extra-virgin olive oil (to make the shrimp broth) and finally, 1 pound linguine di passero. I washed this delicious luncheon down with a cold glass of water then got a surprise visit from Danitza and the gf who were supposedly "just in the neighborhood".
Today I was in Pasadena to see Luka. I grabbed a calzone from Manny's Pizzeria on Fairoaks avenue then a Chocolate Mood Jamba Juice on Colorado Blvd. Jamba Juice is fruit flavor slush frozen juice with fruit. You can request a boost (which is just powder flavoring) that supposedly adds nutrition. I say bollocks, but I needed it to kill my hangover.
Yesterday I grabbed a case of beer, fired up the coals and barbecued NY striploin, beef ribs, chicken legs and honey garlic sausages. Ate it with herbed baked potato, grilled onion and mixed salad.
Question: What do you guys prefer to bbq with -- coals or propane?

Coals taste better, but propane is sooooo much easier.
Quote: Coals taste better, but propane is sooooo much easier.
The thing I like about charcoal, besides the taste, is that I can control the heat better. Plus, I can really take my time preparing the fire, drag things out a bit and maximize my beer intake.

Lol, that's very true. Coals are ideally the way to go, I just don't have the patience!
Today I had a Muenster Sandwich. I made it with the panini machine. It included a spread which was a mixture of tomato, onion, some organic mesclun and a little spicy mustard on organic wheat bread. Another good spread is fresh thyme, diced red onion, dijon mustard and fat free sour cream. I washed this down with a glass of mineral water. There is a South African girl I meet in the neighborhood today, I think she just moved in. Or maybe she's visiting someone. She looks a lot like Heather Locklear.
For lunch today I hard a can of creme of mushroom soup and some toast. Boith belonged to my roomate and I et them with p[ermission (she is working). I let her racehorse ourt of its stall per her instructions when I went to buy booze. I hugged Largo, her old mare.
Quote: Today I had a Muenster Sandwich. I made it with the panini machine.
I too employed the panini machine today: Cuban Sandwich with home-baked bread (Bittman's No-Knead Bread), mustard, pickle slices, ham, swiss cheese and roasted pork. Accompanied with a pickle/green olive/bacon/habanero sauce potato salad.
At this moment, have Marcella Hazan's Bolognese Sauce bubbling away (ground a chuck roast instead of buying hamburger) in the kitchen and have just removed the beef from a "Tuscan Roast" featuring tomatoes, juniper berries, red wine, etc. Earlier, did a Batali recipe of pan-fried baby potatoes with fresh oregano and a Vodka/Cream/Prosciutto sauce.
I had a late lunch at Gino's (2 blocks from the luna lounge) where I was twanging around on a 100 year old Marxophone zither, pretty popular in the early 1900s but dead by the 70s.
I was so engrossed with this thing that I failed to realize I had played my way through lunch and that's when I decided to grab 2 slices of pizza with a blend of pepperoni, beef and pork toppings, green peppers, red onions, and mushrooms. I then made a mad dash home to get cleaned up. I'll get going back to the lounge about 9pm. They're showing a couple of Serb films later.
I had an Indian dish with yogurt and vegetable croquettes that I can't remember the name of. I had a good buzz and the shit was so hot I thought I was going to pass out. Is it just me or does Indian food have a euphoric effect?
Lunch at hamburger mary's in west hollywood. The girls and I sat on the patio and they kept thinking the waiters were winking at them and I'm like honey they're looking at me. It was my cheat day too so I had a cheese burger/no mayo. It was running down my arm and the waiter asked if I wanted to do karaoke night. How come gays never do metallica? That's my jam. I'd OWN that stage if they had it. Ok after a few shots.

Some of those funky spices and herbs they put in their food can jack up your metabolism. I love Indian food, I'd make the drive to LA just for the real deal.
Indian is probably some of the healthiest food you can eat. If you have the proper spices and the time there is nothing like spending the whole day making your own curries.
I have been eating Little Cesar's pepperoni, bacon + mushroom pizzas for the last three days. Morning, noon and night. I just can't get enough. I do this a couple of times a year and my wife just sits back and watches me with disgust.
A sandwich from the local deli. They make the best sandwiches I've ever had. I had mine on a baguette with beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, jalapeño's, onions, a touch of mayo, mustard, a few peppers etc
On the side I got some Kettle Krinkle Cut chips (Island Jerk) and a coke to wash this down. This luncheon was one of the best all week.
Side note: I've been watching a lot of early Japanese films lately and last night I caught this film. Probably one of the finest films in the genre. Very brutal and Miki Sugimoto is gorgeous.
this is the most self indulgent faggiest shit i have ever seen
THE 19 MEMBERS OF THIS SITE AND 45 ANON READERS LOOK AT THIS AND GO OMG WOW WHAT A WEIRD AND BALANCED NUTRITIONAL REGIMEN MAYBE I SHOULD GOTO WILLIAM SONOMA ND BUY A PANINI PRESS AND BE COMPLETELY HOMOSEXUAL LIKE THIS GUY, oh and next time your in pasadena smittys on lake, cmon faggot
dammit i thought i was gonna get rickrolld, i am now dissapointed, i live in las vegas now but if your out here we can discuss the merits of the celebrity chef craze and the watered down versions of the fine restaurants they represent.
i was also really drunk when i posted that i sadly enjoy reading what you eat for lunch
Ah well, I guess if and when I do go to Vegas I will hit you up. But that's beside the point, I'm sure your raving to know what I had for LUNCH today:
I made a pastrami and swiss sandwich, laid atop sourdough bread (I usually prefer rye but thought, what the hell) with a layer of low-fat mayonnaise and Whole Foods yellow mustard between them, and some fresh lettuce and tomato purchased from a local produce store the day before. I accompanied this sizeable sandwich with a Reed's ginger soda and a monsterous golden delicious apple. I find that if one is willing to spend the effort, a home-made meal is most excellent.
Today I made a guacamole burger at home. Basically mixed ground beef and onion to make four patties, then I made the guacamole using a brazilian recipe, added some lime to keep it from spoiling. Then I added a tomato slice to eat bun, topped with spicey cheese and a jalapeno and topped this with the guacamole. Fries on the side and an ice-cold coke to wash it all down.
Earlier today I ran into this chick at the market. She introduced herself with a rather cute name and told me she's French and said "My performing name is Natasha Nice". I was about to start dropping names but I had a bunch of errands to run. Have you guys heard of her? She has some big knockers.

What is it with you always running into chicks? Or they run into you? Do you carry a flashing neon sign with you?
I suppose it has to do with living in LA, which at times is pretty frustrating and bizarre. You can't go without meeting someone, or someone that knows someone; and the best part is that everyone is dodgy.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Last year I met somebody, too. Or was it the year before? Not sure. Anyway, who is the woman in your early lunch break featurette?

I lived in Vegas for a few years. Check out Kona Grill- best pan-Asian without pretension. 1/2 price drinks and appetizers from 7pm-9pm. The appetizers are huge. Get the PIZZA! And also The Wild Sage. They're both in Summerlin and near my old house. Remember Tre before it shut down in Boca Park? Amazing food and I loved the blue marble counter tops. For late night, do Carmine's off Durango/Desert Inn, esp if you're into caprese salads and vid poker. Best 24/7 crap food is Boodles Lounge off either Sahara or Charleston. Best french fries are at The Lodge on Hualapai/Charleston. Damn, looks like I never left Summerlin. Best 2 sushi joints for Vegas locals- Osaka and Sushi Fever.

If you mean homegirl all over Il Girasole thats asssnatch and she's nothing but trouble.
i tend to keep it more on southeast side of the valley, henderson through green valley are my stomping grounds, although if your a pizza freak this is supposedly the new best pizza in town http://lasvegas.citysearch.com/profile/41898068/henderson_nv/settebello_pizzeria_napoletana.html way out there on horizon ridge, ive been once the santa margharita was 10 a glass and i grabbed something to go, not bad.
casa on e. trop at eastern,topaz ish, few blocks from jewnlv, olddddddd school vegas, its a true must if you havent gone, youll get a dean/sinatra guy with a great voice singing live, its seriously outstanding, although i did go off for like 800 one night playing vid poker.
Heh, I know where Casa di is now. Ok, now that we're talking old school, remember The Venetian. Not the hotel- but the 24/7 best home made Italian food made for the perfect 4am binge EVER. It was off Sahara/Decateur and shut down 2 yrs ago. So depressing. I ate some baaad, bad things in there then hit 24 Hr Fitness. Fuck the Peppermill. They redecorated over its old school cache and it's all tourist s now saying 'how money, baby' shit is.
Yesterday I had a BBQ at Sparky's house. He said he wanted to do a BBQ, no idea why- perhaps he was feeling depressed, but he asked me if I could take care of the food and all that. So I did. I made a guacamole dip for the chips so everyone could snack on that while I threw some beef, chicken and sausages on the grill.
Today I made Shrimp Arrabbiata. Arrabbiata in Italian means angry, but the sauce is supposed to be real spicy so when you're eating it you make a face that looks angry. I usually use 1/2 a teaspoon of crushed red pepper and 6-7 ounces fresh linguine, 1 can of undrained diced tomatoes, 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined. I then toss the spicy roasted pepper puree on farfalle pasta and voila! Wash this down with a wine or water (as in my case) and serve.
Ashley Blue once recommeded Doughboys on 3rd, and she was right about their waffles, pancakes, and bread ' so good there must be heroin baked in.' But for today's lunch, I tried the new Doughboys location on Highland. I hated everything about this one and wanted to leave. My friend ordered a stuffed olives dish called 'Load In the Hole.' I lost my appetite and ordered coffee, which was quite delicious. I just wasn't feeling this location.
i went to chuck e. cheese's today for LUNCH. i ate shitty pizza and listened to children scream for three hours. then we came home and i listened to my little one scream for three more hours, because he wanted to go back to "chunky cheese".

I used to have my divorced father take me there (Napa, CA). They would have coupons in the newspaper where one could get 20 free game tokens, so as the "pizza" was prepared, I could not sit with him, and instead play video games.

I worked all day shooting erotica-la. My lunch was coffee at the conevtion center cafeteria. Fast food places/cafeterias are so foreign to me that I poured my coffee into the wrong cup, couldn't find the straws, and left with these weird wax residue things bubbling in the drink. I nearly threw it out since the experience of having to do it all again was so discouraging, but the computer guy at avn told me to quit being a pussy and the line was short anyway.
Today I linked up with Sparky and went to The Hump in Santa Monica for some good ol' sushi. Sparky's entire life has been taken over by The Foot. He had to change his email address 5 times and started a school for rich kids giving private lessons in Belgium New-Beat music from the mid 80s from his loft apartment starting 9:50am- 10:10pm (weekends excluded). I feel sorry for Sparky. I on the other hand I'm working on a new noise project. More on that later:
The Hump is one of the best places EVER. It's perched upstairs at the Typhoon; a multi-Southeast Asian cuisines-themed restaurant frequented by rich snobs. The ridiculous name comes from the route some flying tigers took during World War 2. If you've ever seen that BMW movie Wong-Kar Wai made with Clive Owen following some chick then you'll have an idea of what this place is like, and what most of the folks here look like.
To start off we had Akadashi Miso soup then dived straight into a sushi sashimi tray recommended by the chef (I normally never do this but when the chef is a trusted old bugger like this one I'll go with it). The tray had Tai (red snapper rolled with japanese citrus pepper), hamachi (yellowtail handrolled with serrano pepper, garlic dai dai sauce), kampachi (young yellowtail handrolled with serrano pepper, garlic dai dai sauce), maguro (Blue Fin Tuna) and toro which is the finest part of blue fin tuna. We also got some Ika (squid), Ebi (cooked shrimp) and hirame (flounder).
We washed this wonderful luncheon down with two bottles of Yebisu Premium (produced by Sapporo).
i went to the "international festival" in my hometown today, and ate a gyro (sadly, we actually pronounce it 'jy-row") and drank a $5 cup of lemonade. went with my bestest girlfriend, carrie, and her husband (just back from bahrain--he's in the navy) and our kids. saw an old fling-- he was the building sub in my high school, and taught my trig class for a month my senior year. we used to have quickies in the supply closet across the hall from class. he was there with his wife, who was kind of fat. which is funny.
yup. that guy taught me how to give blowjobs. AND basic trig. not a bad deal, i guess. he was actually a friend of my brothers', nine years older, so i had known him since i was little. my brother still wants to kick his ass. and i love that song, the original version especially. okay, i'm off to watch "ice road truckers."
yesterday some friends came over and I bbq'd jerk chicken, pork side ribs and bratwurst with grilled potato, corn and asparagus. Served with Heiniken and Wildberry vodka coolers.
Had a wonderful cordon bleu for LUNCH today : 2 chicken filets baked and filled with bacon cheese and mushrooms - some pomes frittes and a coke made it the perfect meal.
a tuna fish sandwich on white bread and a Cadbury's Daily Milk Chocolate bar. I haven't had this since I was a kid so it was a good treat. Then this chick at work gave me a bottle of water that tastes like bubble gum. It's called Metro Mint Spear Mint water. Didn't like it.
Today I went to Nishimura in West Hollywood because it's been recommended to me a couple of times by friends. Very stylish contemporary located inside a little building close to the Pacific Design Center.
I asked the tiny waitress for some miso soup and she brought me the largest bowl of it I've ever had. I told her it was a little too much and she said "Oh sorry; no charge."
I then ordered 7 pieces of nigiri sushi and 4 pieces of tuna sashimi (tuna, hamachi, salmon, shrimp, eel etc and a special roll with tuna sashimi). All this served on hand-crafted tiles.
Today I had lunch with Olga. Olga is one of the coolest girls I know. I was actually surprised to learn she's in her 40s from Sparky who fucked her a while back. You wouldn't tell shes a day over 30.
We had a grilled blackened Chicken Salad with fries. I used a tender breast of chicken, seasoned with cajun spices, char-grilled mixed in with romaine lettuce, julienne carrots, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and grated FarmHouse cheddar and french fries. We washed this down with two tall glasses of Orange Juice (not sure what the brand is, but my girlfriend got it from the store and it's divine, especially after a hangover).
woke up today determined to give anorexia the old college try. breakfast: zip, lunch: zip... by two o'clock i felt like nicole richie. then i decided to make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. fuck.
toasted seedless rye with hellman's on one side and generic italian salad dressing on the other. two slices of swiss cheese and six slices of pepperoni topped with kettle cooked jalapeno potato chips. odd mix, but really tasty.
Sounds good. Today I had lunch with a couple of friends and decided to make Fried filet of fish with tomatoes, onions and shrimp sauteed in garlic, olive oil and white wine sauce served over white rice. We had a couple of glasses of wine and laughed out loud many times.
Went to Chevy's today and had a classic fresh mex combo of Crispy Flautas (Salsa Chicken with roasted red peppers, grilled corn and a melted trio of cheeses) served with mango-habanero salsa and homemade jalapeno jelly.
The girlfriend had their enchilada which comes with Salsa Chicken topped with New Mexico red chile sauce.
She had a grande Watermelon margarita whilst I opted for the Strawberry margarita. Chevy's isn't my favorite but it works when one wants a good luncheon.
Sugo semplice (basic tomato sauce) Braised celery and tomato Sage/parsley pesto-stuffed braciolle (rolled and tied flank steak) simmered in the above sugo semplice and an Australian syrah. Rigatoni with vodka tomato sauce and Zenner's (http://www.zennerssausage.com) Italian sausage Mashed potatoes with Parmesan-reggiano and prosciutto
Emptied out 5 14.5 oz cans + 2 28 oz cans of tomatoes...
Today: West Country farmhouse cheddar, wholemeal pita bread and cucumber and some lemonade. I have a new intern that brings the sweetest lemonade everyday to work. It's really cute.
I've hade pea soup (or whatever you call that in english) and bread for 4 straight days. So easy to heat and eat on the run. But damn... My insides are rumbling....
First. thanks for keeping this thread alive, Loopnode. I hate boring food most of the time, every departure is nice.
In the afternoon, I made a po-boy of leftover Pacific sockeye salmon with a salsa of strawberries, onion, cilantro, mango, and lime juice, together with some day-old french bread, oregano and olive oil. The oregano was probably not the right choice, but I was redeemed at desert with a Klondike Bar.
No doubt Willie. A good luncheon excursion is what makes a day perfect.
Today is Friday. I had a couple of friends show up: Himalaya and his girlfriend Jasmin and The Griz. Griz is about mid 50s but he's one of the coolest cats you can kick it with. Himalaya and I used to do all sorts of gigs before he suddenly "moved on" and started growing what he calls "my sweet-ass awesome stash". Not sure how Jasmin puts up with him but what can you do?
I fixed them some Spaghetti bolognese with 1 lb. ground beef heated proper in the skillet with extra virgin olive oil and grated parmesan cheese. Washed this down with something called Mountain Valley water; no idea where the gf buys this crap because it tastes odd but does the trick. As to be expected, Himalaya made at least 2 references to his "sweet-ass awesome stash" before the meal was over.
After ballet barre class I went home to my fridge and ate 3 Persian cucumbers and read some magazines. These cucumbers are my new addiction and so thirst quenching on such a hot day. Smaller than regular cucumbers and virtually no seeds. Crunchier, too.

Somehow thats not what I had in mind. Did my advice work?
Today we went to Sam's by the Beach just off Pacific Coast Highway for some traditional California basics. We selected a nice table on the side near the large front picture window. It took the gf about 12 minutes to make up her mind what she wanted to eat.
For a starter we got the Sam's Trio which is a sampler dish of hummus, taboule` and babaganouch with pita bread, then ordered the Grilled Butter Fish And Citrus Sauce, one of the best in the city. Both of us drank ice water with our meal.
We talked a lot about the "scene", the drop ass network and tonights plans.
i threw up my lunch about 2 hours ago, it was la brea seeded bread with turkey and provolone olive oil and italian seasoning, toasted, by 9 i was so drunk i vomited in my bathroom, had a friend deliver chipotle, took three bites, realized i was getting heart burn for the first time in my life (22) tried drinking a beer, that hurt to much, laid on my bed staring at the ceiling for about an hour, and am now drinking heavily watered down bourbon, in conclusion im physically dying.
Had a bbq today with my wife. NY strip loin, Italian sausage, live dungeness crab, sweet potato and grilled green and red peppers. She washed it down with cranberry and vodka, while I had several big cans of Stella Artois.
I went to Ca' Del Sole today for LUNCH. I used to really love going to this place until there was a sudden boom of "impostor hipsters" that suddenly flooded this region of North Hollywood and made this a favorite of theirs (possibly because of the Dolce Menu). Sometimes, it's not only a matter of knowing where to go, but when to go there.
Today there was hardly anyone. I sat at the corner near the window and ordered a Carpaccio; raw organic beef fillet served with shaved Parmesan and capers, washed down with a cold glass of Pellegrino.
My intern says "You don't have to go all that way for lunch. Next time, I can bring you something from home. See? My mom makes too much anyways." This girl is very cute.
I also had carpaccio for lunch, but w/out the parma. I only like cheese alone and not on things. Same rule with nuts. Make sense? Probably not. It was catered in at work. I enjoyed rolling it in lettuce leaves like a little sandwich. Also had some fresh bell pepper slices and a banana almond milk shake garnished with cocnut shavings. The shake I made at home and brought in myself.
Loop, why do I have the feeling I'd agree to meet you for lunch and you'd no show, leaving me alone at the table looking around the room, all while you hid behind a plant?

Depends on how public/open the place was. I usually don't show up to a lot of things.
Last night I made shrimp gumbo (with file, not okra) for dinner so the leftovers will serve as my LUNCH for today whilst watching football (Fox is re-showing the USC-UDaHo game called by my boy Petros). Plus today is my Father's birthday, so there's an obligatory trip to El Chorro Lodge in Paradise Valley.
Local Zonie folklore says that El Chorro was the watering hole for vacationers who came to the Camelback Inn on Lincoln & Tatum becasue the dude who started the hotel was a teetoaller. Last time we were there, we stood in line in front of Tom Berringer. Decent guy, he's still proud of Major League.

Chorro means squirt in Spanish, as in Hersey squirt or running poop. Its slang for diarrhea. Why would anyone name their establishment after that?
Today I ordered sushi from Nishimura requesting 7 pieces of nigiri (tuna, hamachi, salmon and shrimp), 6 pieces of special roll and tuna sashimi.
You can also order a Bento Box where you pick 2 types of gyoza, teriyaki or roll, but the pieces are nowhere near enough. Besides, this is the second best Sushi joint in town- next to the retarded prices of Urasawa. $250 for the premium package sushi.
Hot and sour soup, fried pork dumplings with sesame-soy dipping sauce, and beef with gai lin (aka Chinese broccoli), all homemade leftovers.
Over the last two days, also cooked rice with poblanos, beans with bacon, cilantro and tequila, fried cod fritters (for fish tacos), roasted jalapeño and tomato salsa with cilantro, and fideo soup.
Quote: Chorro means squirt in Spanish, as in Hersey squirt or running poop. Its slang for diarrhea. Why would anyone name their establishment after that?
Well, pocho, in 1934 when the palce started, "chorro" meant spring, like a water spring or a wash. There's also an eponymous state park in San Luis Obispo County, and a whole geographic region in Andalusia, Spain.
Probably not a palce for you. Continue jacking off to those shitty novelas like Asi Es La Vida and Se Busca Un Hombre and getting the final installment of Espanol Sin Barreras in the mail.

I just asked a simple question. BTW, how do you know about those novelas? I have never heard of them.
I had a very strange dream today. I was in bed and there was a Japanese girl sitting at the foot of my bed. She was a translator with very dark eyes. In the living room, there was a Japanese male pop-star. I asked her "How do I get him a taxi" and she said "I can translate it for you."
I woke up and was heading to tell him I could get him a taxi when I heard the gate opening. I looked outside and saw 2 men from Laos being dropped at my house. Immediately they got out of the car they lit 2 big cigars. Then the car left and they walked up to my front door. I opened the door a little bit and said "Yes?" and the first guy, in very broken English said, "I took naked pictures." I said "Okay?" and he said "I left them on the kitchen." I then asked him "What do you want?" and he said "I will come back later."
I turned around and the Japanese girl was standing behind me smiling.
When I woke up my girlfriend had left with her sister (probably to someones house or just cursing around). I went downstairs to make sure I didn't leave the Japanese porn I was watching last night in the DVD player. Then I walked into the kitchen and poured myself some lemonade my intern's mom made for me. I then made a bunch of screencaps on my computer-machine and did a review of another Japanese porn.
Afterwards I got a call from my girlfriend asking me what I was going to do later, how I didn't hear them leave and whether I was going anywhere later today. I said no to almost everything then told her I was going to make a sandwich at lunch. She said "Okay, we might be home by then.." then she said something else, but I didn't really make out what she said.
I then got a call from Wasted. We talked for about an hour, sometimes about this guy called Karim from Canada, and again we talked about Eli Roth bitching about negative reviews. Then Wasted laughed like it was the fifth and I told him how once i told a Chicken sandwich that it's breasts were a bit too tough, and it gave me food poisoning, then we said goodbye and I went into the kitchen.
I started with several cans of imported Italian tuna which had been preserved in extra virgin olive oil, quite the tasty concoctive of preservatives, not like those disgusting chemicals they put in those other food atrocities. I took those several cans, removed the extra virgin olive oil (for the most part), and fluffed it in a large bowl, once the tuna was nice and fluffy, I diced some green onions, chives, and green and red peppers. Once they were chopped into nice small pieces, I put them in the mix with the tuna, and added a careful amount of mayonnaise, can't be too careful with that stuff, its not very good for you i hear, lots of fat.
Next came the bun. I took a perfectly crafted loaf of French bread that i picked up from the local deli/bakery and sliced it lengthwise in half, and then once in the middle - separating it to 4 parts. I then placed it on my oven rack face down, setting the oven to a low temperature, in order to toast these quite large pieces of bread. I then continued with the main topping of the sandwich. After letting the tuna mixture cool in the refrigerator for a few minutes, I added in a select amount of salt and pepper, with some extra, super secret ingredients to go with it. I then placed that in the refrigerator while my loaf was toasting in the oven.
I got another call right here from the girlfriend, this time she told me she ran into someone and I barked at her "You seriously called me to tell me you ran into SBK?" Sbk is this dude we both know (actually I know him and shes just a fan of our mutual friendship) and we went back and forth for a bit before hanging up.
I finally removed my sandwich from the oven, and removed the bowl of tuna mixture from the refrigerator. I spread the tuna mixture along the loaves, and added more pepper and spices over it. After that, I proceeded to spread slices of cucumber which I had sliced while the loaves were toasting along the sandwich, covering almost all of the tuna mixture. I sealed the deal by placing fresh alfalfa sprouts over the cucumbers, picking up a fresh can of coca-cola, and headed to my computer machine, where i proceeded to communicate with Sparky via the putty thing VPN style. He told me how he was laying some "phat" beats and 'phresch' breaks on top of some 'wicked-bad' leads and 'booty thumpin' basslines. .
Today was a nice culinary experience. For LUNCH I warmed some elbow pasta with a pesto sauce and some reheated garlic bread. I ate light, since Thursday marked the weekly dinner outing to our local Italian eatery, where I dined on a beautiful scallops piccata with truffle shaves.
So what is it Sergio, do you just root for the closest team to fucking mexico to make you feel bettr, the padres are fucking gay, petco park is fucking gay, why dont you go cheer on cockfights and your cousins having sex with donkeys instead of rooting against the greatest franchise in professional sports, DO YOU UNDERSTAND VIN HAS BEEN DOING GAMES SINCE 1958, ponder that for a second before you go cheer for the most obnoxious chokeworthy franchise in the modern era, i hope someone sends you a steve garvey a'int my padre t shirt and you gets silica poisoning and develop cancer from wearing it, fucking padres fans UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHH
Yesterday I had a falafael with the most intense hot sauce I've ever tasted. I can handle a lot of heat, but this stuff caught me off guard and had me hiccupping on the first bite. Still not sure if it was enjoyable, so I think I may try another one today.

Wow, how do you walk across a parking lot without those balls sparking against the asphalt. An L.A. sports fan calling out a fan from another team. Call be back when you actually stay for the whole game and bother to show up when your team isn't making the playoffs. Los Angeles is to real sports fans what West Virginia is to opera.
rofl i cant really defend that post, bottle of smirnoff + laptop = that, the closest team to mexico line was sort of the funny, the rest was pretty bad but at least i worked in some geology somehow.
lol, and up stop stealing material from deadspin before you ever talk about la.
By the way, you can ordered Roasted Rabbit here. I actually thought about getting that, but didn't. We washed our meal down with Pinot Grigio. If it were up to me, I'd have preferred to go home and cook something more normal, but NO! this broad needs to be wined and dined at this superficial bistro.
Today I woke up feeling absolutely terrible. I also had to meet Julia at 3 about this dude called Salim Kassir from Canada. This guy is a real character. He takes pictures of girls but always makes them look like victims to the harshest type of domestic abuse case you've ever witnessed. Linda said "he has this book of pictures he wants you to look at" so I said I would.
I didn't want to loose my appetite so I decided to have LUNCH at home. I made a Blackened Chicken Salad (enough to feed 4 people). I didn't use any spicy seasoning, just skinned, boned chicken breast halves, dijon mustard, finely chopped red onion, diced yellow bell pepper, lemon juice, cider vinegar, vegetable cooking spray, romaine lettuce, chopped tomato and flat-leaf parsley sprigs for garnish. Chicken cooked for 7 minutes both sides until it was well blackened, then washed this down with copious amounts of water.
On my way out I bumped into Yoko (the neighbors perverse wife). I'm always amused at how she dresses to the 9s even when she's going nowhere. Today she was wearing a Pink Peony and made a comment about the noise level last night.
College drab: White steam rice, orange chicken (I'm never sure if it's cardboard, chicken, dough, or fish underneath the fried crust) with the kind of steamed veggies I wouldn't have touched as a kid - I still have to force myself to finish the carrots (yuck). Served in a squeaky styrofoam container. I used chopsticks, that left an annoying taste of cheap wood in my mouth. Water. More coffee.
Spinach salad w/ artichoke, banana peppers, feta, onions, roma tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. And a portion of a spinach and mushroom calzone with a glass of iced tea.
Today I'm making grilled fresh salmon fillet with hollandaise butter sauce. Back in the day, my father used to say "mix hollandaise sauce to anything and you will eat yourself to death." I took this literary and imagined having people over until we died of eating. My girlfriend hates the thought.
I also have tossed romaine lettuce in homemade caesar dressing, topped with croûtons, bacon bits and reggiano cheese. I have a terrible hang-over so I will probably dine on this alone, but I have Sparky coming over and some chick called Daniella.
Quote: Spinach salad w/ artichoke, banana peppers, feta, onions, roma tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. And a portion of a spinach and mushroom calzone with a glass of iced tea.
That sounds like a splendid and delicious meal. Glad you enjoyed it.
Taco Del Mar Taco Salad with pork, whole pintos, hot sauce AND jalapenos.
Also cooked two Southern Indian dishes (Spicy Dhal with Tomatoes and Chicken in Coconut Milk) and a North Indian dish (mushrooms, potatoes, and tomatoes).
Tomorrow, will cook three more Northern Indian dishes (Naan, Rogan Josh (with beef) and a cauliflower item).
Made a yummy lunch today. Scopped out insides of an avocado, wrapped it in lettuce then wrapped that in nori for a delicious wrap. Side of 2 eggs with runny yokes. Glass of water.
Today I had a fried bologna sandwich with melted velveeta slice and onions at my ex roomate's new home. She made it for me like she is Mom. She is worried about me and is being kind. I drank iced tea. Now I'm drinking diluted vodka and diet 7up I bought at the Cherry avenue fisher's Foods in Canton before I left Canton to drive down here to visit. I waited until my ex roomated and dear friend left to watch some college football game Ohio State at a friend's house. I hide my drinking from her because she cares and she won't let me in her home. I hope I can act sober when she retuirns. We are having pizza later from the little gas station up the road but that's dinner and not lunch. This place is in the boondocks of Coshocton County. It is beautiful and quiet out here. Spiders everywhere. Cats everywhere whom I love. I am drunk and I am happy.
What's up sock, hombres and hombrettes! Today, we welcomed three new interns to the studio at work. It was my responsibility to train them on their new computers machines. The one guy and the one girl were typical accounting nerds, but the third one is this dyn-o-mite looking blonde girl that lives nearby a good friend of mine and not too far from my home. She has these tender looking perky 22 year old boobies and a really cute face. WOW! I'm thinking of sabotaging her computer just so I get to spend more time working with her. Ooh la la.
At LUNCH I trolled to the cafeteria next door and 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.
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.
Sparky gave me a call to meet him outside so he could show off his new baconmobile. He says it will improve his image, but I'm highly doubtful of this.
Il Sol on Robertson: grilled wild salmon and lightly steamed carrots. Ate it in my car and left. Delicious. Then went to Starbucks for an iced black coffee.
i ground pringles into sausage and then remolded it, i call it a pringle dog, im going to patent it and then open up a school called the pringle academy
I got a call from Arno today to meet him in Pasadena. Arno's doing research about how the human brain is able to recognize faces. He told me about this guy that got knocked upside the head and now, whenever he sees his parents, he thinks they're clones. Arno uses this guy with his "tests". It's all very strange stuff.
I was to meet Arno at the local sit-down restaurant/pub called Barney's LTD Grill and Pub.
I ordered their Fish fry.....3 generous pieces of beer-battered North Atlantic Cod, 2 slices of buttered rye bread, a bowl of new england clam chowder soup and seasoned French fried potatoes. I squeezed a fresh lemon wedge over the fish and washed this down with a cold pint of Einbecker.
Arno ordered some sort of cheeseburger with French fries and two glasses of Guinness Stout.
We walked outside and Arno was deep in conversation about this and that when this short Asian girl stood some distance from us and started shouting "vagina" and "eat me". At one point I think she even shouted "ass" but I could be mistaken.
When we were done, I was walking towards my car when the girl walked over to me and said "What were you guys talking about?" and I said "That guy was telling me about something called haecceity. What were you shouting over there?" and she said "I said vagina."
Today was the kickoff of Loose Goose Wine Festival (officially starts tomorrow and ends on the 7th). Every business day during the month of October a different band performs at noon in a small pavilion a stonesthrow away from my office. There is a covered band shell area and then a grove of shade trees a half a city block long with benches. Food and beverages (brats, hamburgers, hot dawgs, chicken breastices, beer, wine, cocktails, soda) are served and it’s a really nice way to spend the lunch hour. Then, once day, the concert is repeated at 7:30 in the evening. Today was some group I've never heard of; a local act, that played originals and covers. My friend Cory is the dready bass player in this awesome 5-piece unit.
Heather (the 22yr old with perky breasts) joined me. We both had the Old Fashioned fish fry, which consisted of two pieces of beer-battered perch, 2 slices of buttered rye bread, French fried potatoes and cole slaw. I substituted green beans for the cole slaw. I squeezed a few lemons over the whole plate and salted/peppered everything. This delicious noonday meal was washed down with a pint of Amstel. Slurp. Ahhhhhh.
Here’s to many more wonderful lunches in the future!!!!
I had a great lunch today. We started building a stone walkway for a friend of a friend and I forgot my lunch at home. The homeowner left to go shopping and returned with a huge container of breaded chicken wings, coffee and danishes. Saved my life. Her husband came home when we were packing up and they fed us beer while we talked hockey. It was a good day.
Today was Jessica's birthday. She's the top ace script supervisor. She used to date this guy called Paul who nobody liked, then one day he said he was stressed out with LA, packed up and left for San Francisco and that was that. As far as I know Jessica has been single since.
The girls down the hall made a cake but the rest of us ordered Indian food from a place called Tantra. What a stupid name for a restaurant.
They brought Spring chicken marinated in tandoori masala and Grilled in the tandoor then served with sweet mango "n" mint chutney. This was amazing.
The mains were Crisp fried chicken tossed, curry leaf, sweet peppers, kadhai garam masala and wine tomatoes plus some chicken marinated in yoghurt, red chillies and cumin seed, cooked in the tandoor and served with mint chutney. This was even more amazing.
We washed this spicy b-day luncheon down with lots of bottles of Pilsner lager. By 5pm we were sloshed- so we went the luna lounge for some good fashioned tiki-dance mayhem.
Quote: Where's the Luna Lounge? I have a friend who likes all things Tiki.
It's in Glendale and not really a Tiki Bar, more like just a bar where a lot of folks I know go and hang out. We call it the Luna Lounge coz the girl thats manager is from Odessa and has a thing about Sputnik and the film Solaris.
We usually have theme parties there (like last week was the bollywood night) and this week we're doing 60s French cinema night.
Quote: loopnode no idea where you hail from, but i would kill 8 mexicans for a damons cheeseburger and a mai tai in glendale, go there.
(i miss la canada)
Haven't been to Damon's Steakhouse in quite some time so will definitely have to stop over soon. I personally I'm not a cocktail person so maybe just for the food.
Today I made Paella. I used 4 chicken legs, 1 chorizo sausages cut into 1 inch pieces, 3/4 cup chopped onion, saffron (azafrán), 1 clove garlic, 1 teaspoon saffron threads, 2 cups chicken stock and 2 cups clam juice, 1/2 tea spoon of pepper and 1 tea spoon of salt. I marinated shrimp, garnished the paella with clams, artichoke hearts, pimentos, peas, crab and lobster then made the rice (yellow rice with zaffron).
Washed this down with a nice cold beer, the gf had wine and Mona had a beer. We sat talking for a while then decided to watch Blood Diamond. I feel asleep twice and only caught the end.
Went to Peter Luger's for dinner tonite, had the creamed spinach and french fries (they're to die for, real potatoes, deep fried) for appetizers and a T-bone for all 3 of us, It was huge, I brought 1/2 of it home to my American Staffordshire. Great as always, drank 2 bottles of a red Cabernet Sauvignon, Im not really a wine drinker so I dont know if that was a good one or not. But the meal was exquisite. And not as crowded as usual, in and out in an 1 hour 1/2.
well i woke up at 6 20am today after being up until 230 working on a paper, im now going to bed at 1:05 am after doing another 7 hours of work, and the one thing keeping me going, is a hot ham and cheese bagel and fresh squeezed orange juice tommorrow morning, and honestly i cant wait.
i potentially might drag a bottle of cooks into my bagel place to satisfy my crippling alcohol addiction, and quite frankly i fucking earned it.
Today I had the fajita skillet from the downstairs cafeteria. A pan was heated with cooking oil to which fresh shredded cilantro was added, then chicken and beef strips, diced tomatoes, chopped green peppers, corn off the cob, jalapeño peppers and chipotle seasonings were all sauteed over a high flame, then two cups of cooked rice were added, heated a bit longer, then a slice of jalapeño pepper jack cheese and a pile of shredded sharp cheddar cheese were scooped over the entire skillet. This was heated for a bit longer, then poured onto a plate. I added a scoop of guacamole, a dollop of sour cream and grabbed some pre-packaged taco sauce. A slice of Mexican corn bread was served on the side.
This was a lot of food to consume in one meal, and I was incapable of clearing my plate. Mama would not be proud of her little boy today.
Today I had dampfnudeln (dumplings) and a Wienerschnitzel (wiener sausage). My girlfriend made these, and even though she hates cooking, I wasn't going to take her out. To make matters worse, she invited her bitchy friend Elke whose a real annoying slut and always finds something to bitch about. Today is one of those days I wish I didn't live in LA (although that happens at least once a day so maybe todays situation was magnified).
ARANCINI with extra marinara sauce and slice of garlic bread on the side along with a Manhattan Special on tap. You can only find this coffee soda on tap in special locations in Brooklyn. Its the bomb diggity!!
edited for typos, huge pet peeve of mine.
In Vegas until Wednesday when I have photo gigs lined up in la for 2 weeks straight. Went to the Liberace Museum and sadly, it wasn't as gaudy or as gay as I wanted. Interestingly, most of his costumes weighed 200 lbs in rhinestones and he had a favorite poodle named Baby Boy. Had 2 vodkas on the rocks across the street at Rum Runner, went to a garage sale in Spanish Trails, then had half an 8 oz filet mignon, raw/uncooked asparagus, and half a bottle of champagne all by 1pm today. I order steak rare and it's never as rare as I'd like; nevertheless, a wonderful lunch.
Holy shit, Gia from reading a lot of your lunch posts I though you ate like a sparrow, but steak sounds good. Think I might grill one up in a couple of hours.
Yesterday my wife and I were shopping and she grabbed a chicken/shrimp stir fry combo with Japanese noodles. I went to the chinese place in the food court and grabbed mango shrimp, spring rolls and an Orange Julius rasberry delight smoothie. It was just mall food, but we certainly didn't walk away hungry.
LUNCH today was an almond butter sandwich with raisins and then some carrots and ranch dip for dessert. Yesterday, I actually had breakfast for supper.
I never have butter or margarine on bread or toast either. Ever since I was little I never understood why you needed to have butter or margarine on bread as well as jam or whatever else you put on it. Butter or jam just seemed really unnecessary
Today my girlfriend woke up early, fried potatoes, made some pico di gallo and sausage and served it with a tortilla. It was good. I washed this meal down with water while my girlfriend opted for coffee.
Later tonight she leaves for Italy for the weekend while I plan how best to stay alcoholed. Stay tuned!
Does that mean it was served with shrimps? Yumm....
I was in Albuquerque, NM today, and had lunch at the Flying Star Cafe in the Southern Union Gas building downtown. I had a Thai salad with satay beef and a lime dressing, vaguely reminiscent of the Thai restaurant I frequented when living in Pleasant Hill, CA. I took care not to let people see me log onto XPT.

Yes, they also use crawfish and sausage, its sooo damn good.
Quote: Homemade Jambayala, the Lousisiana way, my friend is in and cooked for us, it was amazing.
This means tasso and andouille as the flavoring backbone.
Additional meats might include catfish, shrimp, chicken, rabbit, alligator, etc., but it's all about the tasso and andouille.
Fortunately, here in Portland, Hawthorne Pastaworks carries both tasso (in the secret freezer, gotta ask) and andouille, so I purchase several half-pound packages of each to freeze and make:
Unfortunately, if you live in some god forsaken place like Ohio or Arizona, real jambalaya will be denied and instead, you'll have to eat Cincinnati Chili or chimichangas, respectively...

It had ham but not exactly Tasso, it was more of what we get in a puerto rican butcher instead and yes there was andouille, I wouldnt eat it if it had rabbit, alligator or meats of that sort, only shrimp, chicken, crawfish tails, andouille and ham those were the only meats in it, Im not from there so to me this is as good as I know.
Today I meet this chick working in the wardrobe department. I actually forget her name (how embarrassing) but I know it's foreign and starts with an "L". I asked her for clothing dye and she took me to the inventory room with a bunch of stuff. She's amazingly gorgeous. I made up and excuse to take her to LUNCH
We went to Bossa Nova on Sunset.This is a good place to get Caprese and Chicken Fingers; but I opted for the Quatro Formaggi: mozzarella, provolone, fontina and gorgonzola cheeses, topped with green onions and black pepper, while she ordered the Blue Salad: fresh lettuce, slivered almonds topped with crumbled blue cheese and sliced boiled egg, with our homemade blue cheese dressing.
I washed this wonderful meal down with passion fruit juice and my date had a guaraná.At LUNCH I found out she's from Kazakhstan but she has such a removed look: like a stwardess from Cathy Pacific Airways; not really Asian and not really European either- perhaps a mixture of the two.
Last night was the strangest of rituals: after work everyone scurried to the Miranda for the good ol' Nick partay- something very unbecoming of us considering the fact that the entire day we did absolutely nothing but eat a bunch of sugar cookies and toss about reese's pieces peanut butter cups.
Today was even worse. I was woken up at 6am. My neighbor- the somehow foreign and forever dressed to the 9's Yoko was complaining that someone was making a huge racket just a few hours ago. I didn't tell her about my hedonistic night- nor the fact that I couldn't remember when I got home: I simply played the concerned neighbor, let her vent and went back to try and sober up.
By 9 I was at work and miserable. I should have stayed home but after being woken up I sometimes have a hard time going back to sleep. Regardless I hate wasting time doing nothing- and I just I felt like it justified my time to be at work- even though I was, inexplicably doing nothing.
At Noon I went downstairs to get a salmon teriyaki with rice platter which comes with steamed vegetables on the side. I had the choice between a sobe type drink and some green tea and I opted for the tea- mainly because I was still feeling like shit and I also hate really tasty drinks.
20 minutes after my meal my shoulder was knotted up bad. I contemplated going to get a massage but oddly enough- I found the idea rather... sleazy and uncomfortable. I hate to be touched.
Today I handmade chicken cordon bleu.... flattened boneless chicken breast with a layer of cooked ham (not very fatty at all), and cheese rolled up into a solid unit, breaded, deep-fried and then baked and served with a heap of lemony hollandaise sauce.
On the side I had a choice of mashed and baked potatoes, a mixed pile of steamed peas and carrots and a sesame-crusted slice of vienna bread with butter spread across the side.
My friend Henri showed up with his wife (I think it's funny this guy is married because he's the biggest player in the world) and brought over a bottle of white wine. Who the hell drinks white wine? Tomorrow they're flying to Kiribati supposedly to celebrate their anniversary. I find it odd that some people choose to celebrate months together.
Before taking E to the airport, we got hungry and had time to spare. Eventually, we were going to get something to eat, but E insisted on going to the pet store in Beverly Center to look at the dogs. I always feel like I'm going to catch a disease there, and he said sitting outside waiting for him was ridiculous, so I walked around the store with my hands in my pockets while he petted all the dogs and let a chihuahua lick his face. Then he went to Sabarros, ordered a slice of plain cheese, and I just had a bottled water because I felt soiled even though we washed my hands after the pet store episode. I drove him to the airport then went home and made myself 3 egg whites and a bountiful wakame salad with bok choy and avocado slices.
"If you think about it, a greasy slab of cured pork belly is no odder than many other foods that have historically been considered aphrodisiacs: asparagus, artichokes, avocadoes, bananas, black beans, chili peppers, figs, licorice and pine nuts have all been hailed for their ability to arouse desire.
In renaissance Europe, women were forbidden to eat artichokes, which according to legend had been created when the Greek god Zeus transformed a young maiden into the spiky vegetable. As a result, they were prescribed to men to improve their bedroom performance.
Of history's most famous aphrodisiacs, only chocolate and oysters still hold claim to their sensual reputation.
While the physical suggestion of sex may be enough for some, modern research shows that some classic aphrodisiacs can stimulate desire - and increase performance. Oysters, for example, contain high levels of zinc, which has been associated with increased sexual potency in men.
The smell of food, too, can elicit sexual feelings, according to research by Alan Hirsch, the neurological director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. Having noticed that people who lost their sense of smell also had a diminished sexual appetite.
Men responded to all of the aromas. But the top spot went to a blend of pumpkin pie and lavender, which increased blood flow 40 percent of the time. Runners-up were doughnuts with black licorice (31.5 percent) and pumpkin pie with doughnuts (20 percent).
Women, in contrast, responded most to the blend of cucumber and licorice - two traditional aphrodisiacs - and the scent of baby powder. But perhaps more revealing were the three scents that turned women off: cherries, barbecued meat and men's cologne. So much for the thrill of the grill.
In the end, Sean was right. Aphrodisiacs are personal. He loves bacon, while my friend James can't think of anything sexier than Nutella, that thick chocolate-hazelnut spread that is "perfect for feeding each other," he says.
And for "InterCourses" author Hopkins, the sexiest food is grilled asparagus dipped in her French boyfriend's homemade mayonnaise. But, she adds, the greatest turn-on of all is when he cooks, and then does the dishes."
Today was Alan (my girlfriends co-workers birthday) and they wanted to have his birthday lunch/dinner at The Westin Bonaventure. This is exactly the sort of place I loath going- which meant I had a 2 hour argument with my girlfriend concerning whether or not I should even attend.
I ended up fscking going. As soon as we got there, there was this woman outside who insisted her child to fscking say the most ridiculous thing. The child was clueless about what it should be saying and the mother- a real princess- kept repeating in a high and annoying voice "Say it honey. Tell it to mommy." She repeated this about 10 times.
Inside we were greeted by some dude- no idea who but he referred to himself as "we". He had a strange accent, or at least, he went to great lengths to give himself one. I thought it was amusing and kept asking him questions just to make the fake accent more apparent.
He led us to the dining room where the rest of the party was- all made up of people my girlfriend works with- meaning people I try not to get along with. One of them is this really goofy guy called Cliff who has the strangest laugh in the world. The guy that makes me feel most awkward however is Alan- a homosexual Asian dude that goes to great lengths to make himself stand out as a gay guy. All the women look alike and speak about the same shit- which is usually who bought what house or who saw who at some place. The only person I get along with is Elka and Mona- Elka because she's painfully hot and Mona because-- I actually have no idea why Mona and I get along.
I personally didn't order an appetizer but noticed Elka- one of the girlfriend's best buddies and probably the only person I really speak to order the Serrano ham and arugula salad with provencal black olive tapenade. She wasn't able to finish it and I asked her why and she said the tapenade was too dry.
For the main meal I had a Fettuccini mari monte which came with sauteed shrimp, chicken with fresh tomato, mushrooom and rosemary in a pinot grigio butter (oh la la).
Elka and the gf ordered korean style braised short ribs with garlic whipped potatoes in a cripsy spring roll, kumquat confit, baby carrots and grilled asparagus.
Someone ordered prime rib which we all took a piece off since it was unbelievably good. I suggest if you want to come to this place you take out a second mortgage on your house. The only good thing is that we got some coconut ice-cream thing at the end from the waitress; probably due to the fact we were very animated like kids and we spent what seemed like hours there. If I wasn't so full- I'd have hit their bar for a real drink.
stop writing horrible disertations on whatever the fuck you eat, its sunday, you dont like it? pee on the nearest woman who looks at you wrong, not enought? bet 330 on the colts, realize how fucked you are and bet them -7.5 second half for 550 to save you day, wait thats just me,, in conclusion you deserve diabetes whoever im talking to.
Last night I had a strawberry fruit salad with 1/2 medium red onion, sugared almonds, 2 tbsp raspberry vinegar, 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup milk. I should have made this earlier. I also had a banana and some cold mineral water.
I made myself chicken soup this afternoon since I was feeling ill and chilled. 3 chicken legs, a few left over chicken bones, large spanish onion, 2 large carrots, 3 turnips, the useless parts celery and a small amount of spaghetti sauce left over in a jar.
For Lunch only a small Ice Coffee and nothing else and tonite was a bit of hummus w/garden veggies in it and a few ritz (low sodium, they suck) crackers, a bartlett pear and water. BORING, B O R I N G!
Today we feasted on Raclette with potatoes, small gherkins, cocktail onions and sliced peppers that I made for LUNCH. Had a bunch of people over like Sparky, Madam, theGriz rocking his super sweet stash and French.
We sat around debating war movies and making fun of theGriz. Good food and good laughs begins a good weekend.
It's a scrapped cheese dish from Switzerland. Usually you heat the cheese then scrap it onto the dinner plate and yack while you wait for your meal to cool. It's a very social thing to eat.

I do love the way you make the raclette. The hot stone makes all the difference.
Today we had a LUNCH time get together with most of the people from work. What this consists of is people going down to the cafeteria, grabbing food, complaining that they're not hungry then talking amongst the tight cliques. It's high-school all over again.
We had some Eastern cuisine today: there was Bami Goreng, some Fish Amritsari and lots of Tandoori mixed sizzlers. Lena came over and joined my humble self (that's the chick from Kazakhstan)- I managed to convince her we grab a plate of some Vegetable Samosas and our main dish; she opted for the Chicken Vindaloo (ouch) while I opted for the Chicken Tikka Masala (the masala was labeled as smooth but it stung)- Lena's food was hot. I could tell.
Half way into our meal this fucknut called Doug came over and went "You mind if I join you guys?" Later some other chick joined us (forgot her name already) and she started going off about how she's used to wrestle in college. The conversation got very odd.

Quote: Bami Goreng
For some reason, I read this as "Bambi Göering" and thought she was some new German porn whore.
Bami Goreng is pretty good. You should try it sometime. Today I had stuffed salmon with crab and brie cheese, mashed potatoes and crab cakes. For desert I had fudge and washed this down with Sonoma Cutrer Chard.
I had a 6 piece buffalo wing special dripping with Benny's special BBQ sauce (if thats even what he uses) @ Beeny's Bar-B-Q in Marina del Ray. I went with Rachel and not sure what she ate: we were both animals tearing our food like a pack of wolves.
2 weeks of catering food in the desert does the body bad.
I just went out for lunch and had a nice salmon pizza--and it wasn't even from CPK. Obviously there is some salmon and it's round; the nice touches were carmelized red onions and capers which gave a savory taste to it.
Zenner's Cajun hot link with kraut and yellow mustard plus potato salad from the Dog House.
Upcoming lunches will no doubt include a shit load of Ukrainian food that I'm cooking over the four-day weekend: Borscht, Vinegret, Golubtsi, and Vareniki.
Cleaned the Hawthorne Safeway out of beets!
Also, have some leftover 4-star spicy (produces immediate flushness and forehead sweat) Pad Thai from Thai Go and last weekend's home-cooked Carnitas, Arroz Rojo, Frijoles Sencilos and Roasted Tomato and Jalapeno Salsa to deal with.
Gunker: are you Ukrainian? I leave for Kiev this Monday. Strangely enough, the hotel where I'm staying at seems to favor Italian cuisine over the local delicacies.
Today for lunch we had Mini Baked Potatoes with Smoked Haddock and Leek Compote with a Moretti for energy. This was at a friends place who bares a striking resemblance to Anja Garbarek.
Quote: Gunker: are you Ukrainian? I leave for Kiev this Monday. Strangely enough, the hotel where I'm staying at seems to favor Italian cuisine over the local delicacies.
Only 50%, with no knowledge of the culture other than overhearing my father's hideous Polka music and the dishes my mother (and now, myself) cooked. The fact that the hotel prefers Italian is not surprising...
I'm pretty sure that the food in Kiev will suck, but the architecture and history will be amazing.
"Kyiv contained a Jewish population of 175,000+ in 1941 on the eve of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. Nazi forces captured the city in mid-September in less than 2 weeks. It was on the September 29th. & 30th. that 34,000 Jews of the ghetto were brought to the ravine known as Baba Yar. Baba Yar was located in close proximity to the Jewish Cemetary. Baba Yar is the site where men, women & children were mechanically machine-gunned in a 2-day living Hell of execution. In the following months the majority of the remaining Jewish population of the city of Kyiv was brutally & mechanically exterminated.
Called "the most appalling massacre of the war," the mass exterminations at BabaYar is alluded to as a prime example of utter Jewish helplessness in the face of disaster. Very few Jews were able to fight back. They had no weapons, they had no training & they had no leadership. Jews by the 10's of 1000's, with all the pathetic belongings that they could carry, were herded into barbed-wire deliniated areas at the top of the ravine. There they were guarded by Ukrainian Nazi collaborators. It was in these barb-wire pens that they were stripped & beaten. When the time was right they were then led in irregular groups down the side of the ravine. The first groups were forced to lie on the ground, face down & were machine-gunned by the Nazis in a steady volley of death."
***
"After the initial massacre, the Baba Yar site was converted into a permanent slave labor & extermination camp. It was here that 10's of 1000's of victims from other parts of the Ukraine were sent for extermination. It was then called the Syrets camp. This was name of a close Kyiv sector. Several hundred specifically selected prisoners were kept there at the camp. These technical specialists such as carpenters, shoemakers, tailors, metal workers, elctricians, pipe fitters, machinists, & orher artisans. They were kept to to serve the needs of the SS men & the Ukrainian collaborator-guards. These select workers were usually killed within a month or 2 as they were replaced by new prisoners who continued their duties. Paul von Radomski was nthe Kommandant in charge of the administration & ultimately the killing of these prisoners. Paul von Radomski seemed to crave a reputation for outdoing his sadist colleagues in other camps so he made it a point to keep on killing prisoners on a regular schedule.
Baba Yar is now National Park of Ukraine. The ravine has been filled in, memorials erected to all of those who were murdered there, the Jews, the Rroma (gypsies), Hungarians, Bulgarians, Tartars, Armenians, Ukrianians, captured partisans, homosexuals, priests & others whom the Nazis deemed as being in need of death."
Be sure to take some pictures of this accursed part of the globe, Loop!
Gunker, the food was actually very good. I went mostly to places around Maydan Nezalejnost where I had kyshka (blood sausage).
One cool joint is Fellini which was highly recommended and Le Cosmopolite. The hotel I stayed at had really bland food and also way too much Italian food on the menu; not that I don't like Italian cuisine but whats the point of going to Ukraine to eat pizza?
The positive side however was that it was located in the historic part of the city (Shevchenka Blvd: named after some poet) and the concierge was unbelievably hot. Come to think of it, 90% of the women in this city were unbelievably hot. I might have to take a trip without the gf next time
It's really hard to find a decent place to eat in the winter, especially the more popular spots like Vechirniy Kyiv which has the best hot chocolate I've ever tasted. Another really popular spot is Domashnya kuhnya smack down in the middle of B' Khmelnitskogo Street where we had something called Kutya: a Christmas food which was the chef's special the day we were there. Oddest meal I ever ate but pretty good. By the way, Ukraine doesn't celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December. They follow the Orthodox calender which means Christmas is in January, so on the 25th it's a regular workday.
I'm not sure whether you go there (or have plans of going) but one place I'd recommend is Rodina Mat (unreal), Independence Square (Archangel Michael monument), Tarasa Shevchenka lane (at night), Baron Munchausen for the excellent selection of liquor, Andriivsky Uzviz Street and hitting up Odessa for the night life; hegre-art must get their models from here. The downside about Odessa is the lack of a metro system, but the city is littered with young hunnies here.
Also- there was this really cool place which was an underground bunker (I think peeps hid here during World War 2). I don't know the name of the place, but it was like a gulag and located in Kirovohrad (south of Kiev on the way to Odessa). Anyhoo- the place was full of Soviet memorabilia, World War 2 memorials and lots of chicks called Olga.
Btw: Baba Yar isn't exactly a tourist spot (actually very rarely mentioned). There is a big monument there (very similar to the one in Sobibor, Poland).
Fatman you just made those two places up, didn't you?
Lunch yesterday was a treat I've been looking forward to for a long time. I had the day off and my wife had an extended lunch break so we went to an Indian buffet that we used to go to. It's a bit pricy @ $13.95 but that includes a drink, so the hindi brew (think it was Cheetah) I ordered made up for it.
The restaurant has equal numbers of vegetarian and meat dishes as well as soup, salad, dessert and a plethora of appetizers. Although I'm a huge carnivore I only eat vegetarian when it comes to Indian (my hippie parents raised me hindu and veg till I was 8).
It took two smoke breaks (one of them herbal) but I managed to enjoy every meatless dish in the place and washed it down with gulab juman; little cakey dumplings in a really sweet but light syrup.
As always happens when we go to this place, I walked out so full I was unable to breathe, then fell asleep for a couple of hours.
I had LUNCH with Sparky today at Nozawa on Ventura. One thing I love about this place is how fresh their fish is- you can tell because of the texture, it's almost too soft. Also their nori is nearly black instead of the usual deep dark green.
We sat at the bar and Sparky ordered a small bowl of rice as a side and we both picked sashimi as it made it's rounds on the tiny boats.
They have excellent Temaki and Ebi, but I noticed a considerable lack of excellence with their Unagi (my favorite- and thus a great disappointment)- much too bland and almost overwhelmed in taste by the nori. The Kazunoko, Saba, Tamago and Ika (possibly the toughest to prepare) were pretty exceptional though- which makes this place well approved; but the quality of their Unagi forces me to consider whether to make a second visit for the sashimi alone.
I had green tea while Sparky downed two bottles of Kirin.
This chick has become really popular in our offices and it all started with a guy called Erasermind who recently started working at the opposite building (we nicknamed this place the gluestick factory because it has a long history of high turn over for chicks who get offended for the way they are treated by a particular Mister Somebody.. tsk tsk).
Went downstairs and had a big fat juicy steak, bleeding; with a simple salad. I grabbed a mineral water to sip and finally opened a new primo packaging of Julia Child DVDs. Can't wait to get home and watch these
I've been so busy searching for the perfect luncheon experience that I forgot to log my finding here and instead, offer this immortal reminder:
"...just as lunch was at the center of man's temporal day, and man's temporal day could be seen as an analogy for his spiritual life, so lunch should be (a) seen as the center of man's spiritual life, and (b) held in jolly nice restaurants..."
Today I went to Burbank with Zaure. I had to meet up with her to get some extra C-stands because she is helping me "dress" my garage set.
We decided to pick up some Maccheroni con pomodori secchi e pesto di basilico e mandorle from Tony's Bella Vista Ristorante. I had a side of fried calamari. The only thing I don't like about this place is the dessert menu, which comprises of 3 overly sweet desserts.
Today? Spanakopitta (pinach and fetta cheese parcels wrapped in greek pastry, oven baked until golden brown) and Chicken kordato cooked in onion, mushroom, tomato, garlic and fresh cream sauce at a little Greek villa belonging to Joan.
Joan talks a lot, so much so that she hardly ate. To make matters worse, because shes an art director, the only thing she talks about is fashion (wardrobe), colors- that sort of stuff. Nothing really interesting. She also has a really big ego that you have to stroke once in a while to keep her chipper.
Not sure what was the point of her inviting me over for lunch besides listening to her yap- but it's hard to pass up a good meal- especially since her cook is Vegas approved. What a way to start the weekend.
Today I had a Luncheon date with Shivani, a producer for the English market. Producers exist in a purely fictional universe that the normal human being cannot comprehend. Sparky calls it "swimming in Producer infested waters".
I had to meet Shivani at a place called Laroche. I've never been to this place, it's not my kind of hang out. Maybe when I'm 40, if I ever get there, and have turned into a complete asshole. It's so devoid of humanity even the smell of the place is artificial.
I had Poached guinea fowl, morel and champagne cream with parnsip chips while my companinon had cured organic salmon gravalax, acacia honey and mustard dressing. Just incase you don't know, salmon gravalax is hardly what one would call a meal. It's looks like a pastry. My meal wasn't that bad but I could hardly finish it as the champagne cream was a little too strong for my taste.
Afterwards this chick lit up a strange cigarette that I've never seen before: has a long blue stem with a white butt, while I sipped on the wine curtsey of the madam waiting on us.
Today: I had the chicken fajita burrito bowl at a Mexican Cantina near Sparky's house. This contained lime/cilantro white rice, black beans, grilled chicken, cheese, soured cream, tomato salsa, green chile salsa and a squeeze of lemon over the top.
Later I went over to Sparky's to mix some tunes and get a dose of a little bit of quality 80s T&A courtesy of The Beach Girls.
My friend is obsessed with the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High, so today we went to a Coffee Bean near Westwood that was once one of the eateries in the movie. I had an Americano with room at the top, so I can put in my own splash of milk where they keep the straws. It's the ghetto way of having a latte for cheaper. Then we went to Earth, Wind, and Flour. I had the chicken soup.
My friend Sparky recently managed to acquire a sim-man or simulation mannequin used by medical students. The sim-man is a very realistic replica of an unconscious human and comes with fake internal organs, tracheostomy opening, injection zones disposed at various locations, feeding tube, a stoma, a supra pubic catheter opening, a wound, a decubitus site, and a vein with phlebitis It's also designed to respond in certain ways. For example, the one Sparky has is included with a breathing generator so when he "operates" on it, it reacts as an individual would if you were to operate on them.
One thing that I found really odd was that the mannequin comes pre-named; Sparky's is called Joanne. It also comes with a little booklet telling you everything Joanne is capable of suffering from. Under my care, Joanne died once when I failed to properly diagnose her.
We broke for LUNCH at about 1:15pm and had a Turkish kebab consisting of aromatic minced beef on a skewer, lamb chops, spicy Cyprus sausage and pita bread, french fries, salad, yogurt (which I didn't touch) and rice. This meal was prepared by a chick called Sorta (I'm not kidding, it's her first name) that Sparky used to bang. I can't tell where she's from, but she looks half Asian (orient) and have Latin American.
turkey pastrami and swiss on whole wheat, with an apple and lemonade to wash it all down. Kicked it up to a steak, salad and 2 glasses of pinot noir for dinner, with a dessert finish of vanilla ice cream laced with almonds.
1 slice cheese pizza but not the crust, 5 celery sticks, thai curry chicken, uncooked green beans, 1 can anchoves, 1 kids mcdonalds french fries, 6 packets ketchup, 2 packets mustard, 1 green salad from doughboys, 2 waters, 3 crackers, 1 bowl saurkraut with mustard, 1 avocado with cayenne pepper, 2 soft boiled eggs with cayenne pepper, 1 pinkberry plain yogurt with blueberry and carob.
Big ass Taco Salad from the Yucatan Grill in the Pioneer Place mall in downtown Portland.
Filled two tiny bowls-t0-go with cilantro, roasted jalapenos, and their hottest salsa (not so hot)...and failed to get a sweaty-head, churning-stomach "Mexican" food experience...
I think Portland should develop the cutting edge of eating spicy rabbit dishes...
Coupling Ranathan's disappointed parent's money with Ceara's robust bunnnies....
Today I went to a place called Le Petit Greek Retaurant in LA. I've never been to this place but the girlfriend has been craving Greek cuisine. Since I had time to kill I let her choose (this took about half an hour).
The place is a little crammed- all the yuppies were out and about today, but there was a general good friendly atmosphere. We started off with the chief's choice of cold mezedes savory: a Greek appetizer with a side of hummus and Greek flatbread aka pitta bread.
For the entries my girlfriend had Moussaka; layered eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, and ground beef topped with a light bechamel sauce while I opted for the Zorba which is chicken breast sauteed in fresh lemon dill sauce with a touch of white wine.
We shared a bottle of Vin de Crete 2006 and water. Not bad but I'm not sure I ever want to go back there. Maybe with a bigger company. It's a little too open space for my taste.
We had lunch at PK's today. It's a soul-food place. I had beef stew over rice, pintos, green beans, cornbread and sweet tea. My accomplice had the stew, collard greens and macaroni pie with a yeast roll.
Today I had Lunch @ the Gaucho Grill Restaurant in Pasadena. Gaucho is a Portuguese term that means plains farmer but it probably has more in common with the Americana term Cowboy.
I went to Gaucho's with a couple of people from work; Jess from the ad department, thhky and a girl called Ruth from Costume Design. thhky is a trip. I think he's Japanese; I can't tell, neither can I understand him. He can hardly speak Engrish and has a serious lisp. I have no idea what he is doing here- he seems very indifferent to the everyday going-ons and because of this laissez faire attitude I have been pretty much ignoring him.
I ordered the Chicken Champignon which is skinless and boneless grilled breast of chicken with sauteed mushrooms on a white wine sauce, Served with mashed potatoes and grilled zucchini. Jess opted for a huge breaded Eye round steak or chicken breast, lightly fried, with tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, oregano. Ruth and Thhhky both had steamed Tilapia Papillote with veggies, basil and olive oil. I didn't have time to get anything to drink so had to grab a water from the cafeteria at work. Boring fscking day today.
Today I had a California club ham sandwich from the cafeteria and a baklava. By the way, have any of you tasted something called Tava? I'm very addicted to this. It's a sparkling water flavored citrus.
Seriously. Pasta sauce with honey sounds disgusting. I had buckwheat soba noodles and Braggs Amino Sauce along with a mixed greens and tuna salad topped with tons of celery and radishes.
Quote: For lunch today I hard a can of creme of mushroom soup and some toast. Boith belonged to my roomate and I et them with p[ermission (she is working). I let her racehorse ourt of its stall per her instructions when I went to buy booze.
Today started off like normal. I awoke from a disturbing dream where I was about to be killed. I've been having several of these kinds of dreams- the scenario generally is always different but the crux of the story is always the same: some guys always end up shooting at me, but before the bullet kills me I awake.
I had to go feed and change Boris' litter. Boris' is Mini-Beast's lover and a neighbor's cat. This cat hates me because I dislike Mini-Beast having been in a number of altercations with her. Now the way things work are as follows: my neighbors are called DK and Shirka. They leave us a spare key when they go away on vacation and it's my girlfriend's responsibility to go feed this animal and change it's litter. when she cannot do so, I go there and throw food at it then watch their tv and drink their wine. They are a typical spoilt rich yuppie couple and I'd like to believe we have nothing in common with them (except perhaps a healthy and perverse sex life: they have a porn collection).
I went to the house and of course Boris was pissed to see me. I was going to throw it treats (these sweets that it eats) and give it more food but of course it had an attitude. We exchanged some words and both decided the best way to settle the situation was to step outside.
Because my eye is already damaged I'm already at a handicap, something Boris knew quite well and that is why I didn't see him when he lunged at me and scratched the shit out of me on my arm and punched me in the eye.
I left a couple of minutes later, having not fed the bastard. This was around 11:23am. My arm looked weird- a combination of purple and red; a reaction brought about by my allergic reaction towards cats. I stopped by my girlfriends workplace to tell her what happened but she was already on the phone with Boris, no doubt getting a different version of the story. Whatever!
I didn't have LUNCH until about 1:12pm for matters that couldn't be helped. I had a Shawarma from a place next door. Our offices are catered to by this fat Greek lady and her sister in-law caters the place next door. I decided to give her a try, mostly because I wanted to avoid her questions; on top of my eye, my arm was now scared so it's obvious I was up to some dodgy behavior.
A Shawarma is a Middle Eastern-style sandwich with either goat, lamp or chicken meat. Mine had chicken, tomatoes, pita bread, hummus and tahini. I grabbed a micro-brew from the office and leafed through Variety while I ate.

Today I was in San Diego with Zaure looking at buildings and we decided to grab lunch at noon at a place called Chopahn. What a lovely little place this is. Small, quaint and very romantic; not at all what I expected for an Afghani restaurant- but that might implicate I already had something in mind.
We grabbed a place by the window. To start off we ordered some sambosas- 3 each. If you've never eaten a sombosa you have no idea what kind of pleasure you are denying your taste buds. Sambosas are fried pastries filled with ground beef and chickpeas.
For the main course Zaure ordered a Mantu. This is steamed dumplings filled with chopped beef and onions topped with yogurt and sauteed mixed vegetables.
I requested Korma Challaw which is tender chunks of beef cooked with green pepper, onions, tomatoes and spices, served with seasoned basmati rice.
I noticed the beef was extra tender and sweet (obviously an unknown spice was added to the preparation) and the vegetables were noticeably fresh. We both washed down the meal with some Afghan tea known as Cardamom. I can't recommend this place enough. Even the price is can't be beat.

I was asleep all day so didn't have lunch but tonight I ate some oranges for lunch/dinner
Quote: I just cooked some cheap pasta from the supermarket and poured some pasta sauce on top with honey
Damn dude, what kind of meal is that?
Since I rediscovered honey recently i've been using it with everything but now suddenly ants have invaded my flat - not only in my kitchen where I keep the honey ( I keep it in the fridge now ) but in my bathroom and bedroom too! I had no problems with ants before, just cockroaches so I don't think I'll get any more

I made Spaghetti bolognese today with 1 can whole tomatoes, 1 can tomato sauce, 1 lb. ground round, 2 onions, 5 garlic cloves, 7 large mushrooms, 1 green pepper, 1 bay leaf, grated Parmesan cheese, 1 lb. spaghetti and Oliovero Toscani: added oregano, basil, dry thyme and ground pepper to the mix and cooked for about 10 minutes.
Ate this with some mineral water. Tonight we've been invited to our neighbors house for party. Our neighbors are an elderly couple in their mid 50s who party like crazy. They like to throw parties every so often but I've somehow managed to duck every single one except tonight.
I might also start adding pictures to this thread.
Today I made Arabic chicken with cherries and safrol butter; then chased it down with green tea.
This weekend I was introduced to this chick (picture below) by a friend. She makes music she says is inspired by crabs and has a strange fascination with 19th Century expeditions to Asia and Africa. She actually dresses like this all the time and trys to maintain a persona like she's a lady from late 19th Century Europe.
At first I thought it was all an act when she lifted her hand for me to kiss and commented that I "looked well in my shiny new perverts". She proceeded to play for me "her music": a combination- at first of guitar pick drones that slowly and somewhat annoyingly changes into fuzzy and erratic stringing. She's obviously completely bonkers but a total riot to hang around with.
Supposedly on an expedition in Africa (although I suspect this was taken in Northern California)
After a pretty busy week my schedule is looking a little relaxed over the next couple of days so I have chosen to indulge myself during the most important hour of the day.
I made a large plate of blackened chicken salad with fries topped off with Italian dressing and a side of mixed fruit in a bowl. That's right bitches I'm in it to win it.
It turns out two of the Health care hoes at my girlfriends gym are moving onto greener pastures and Ms. Loop wanted to wish them well, so she had me up at 6am making a Brasilian style guacamole dip I once experimented with.
In other news, my friend Sparky purchased a stack of vinyl being told he was getting a "bulk purchase" discount on his most recent visit to the store. Upon examining his receipt when he arrived at his home, he realized it would have been more affordable to purchase the items on line (with shipping!!!) and have them arrive at his doorstep.
Today Lunch doubled as breakfast (kind of has to when you wake up at noon). It consisted of a few lean strips of bacon (extra crispy, not chewy), an over-easy egg for the girlfriend (not myself because I'm allergic to egg) on a piece of toast with melted chedder perched atop the whole thing, then all of it closed underneath another piece of toast and some spicy potatoes. This was accompanied by a tall glass of Tropicana Grovestand orange juice and white tea.

She looks like she can use and enema, the Rexall Combination Water bottle Syringe.

Straightjacket anyone?
I remember this TV show about people with OCD and this female was worried about coming into contact with germs and bacteria etc. In trying to help her through it the doctor was eating a hamburger off the toilet floor
I'm back to eating again. On Thursday, I only ate salads and drank fresh veggie juices. That first transitional day back to eating is always feel like a newborn foul learning how to walk. Yesterday I was bad and ate salmon cooked in butter and mashed taters. Not sure what I'll eat today. Too damn hot for an appetite. Maybe carpaccio.
One of my friends is visiting from PA. He just had a nasty breakup with his ex which ended up in New Jersey court, so naturally the first thing he wants to do is have angry sex. I've been trying to calm him down, but after a while there is nothing you can do but listen. Add to the weather which was a scorching 92.7°F and his frustrations got worse. For some reason, he preferred to remain outdoors because he wanted to rant and feared my girlfriend would overhear him.
I made him and myself a garden salad with diced radishes, low-fat plain yogurt, 1/2 cup light sour cream, shredded carrot, chopped green onions, fresh parsley, crumbled blue cheese and some freshly ground pepper.
To wash it down we had some cold mineral water, but later he grabbed a beer from the fridge and said "I need a real chaser bitch!" I figure tonight will be a long night.
Greek salad and shared french fries at a new 24 hour hipster diner on Cuhenga caled Kitchen24. They food is ok, but the place is too damn loud and it's all white inside. I felt like I was eating in an iPod.
I ate pasta and sauce and oranges and yoghurt all through the day. I don't usually have any specific meal times - I just kind of eat when I feel like it

If that place was an ipod, then you would be a number 1 single Gia!
Today I had Pechuga de Pollo Sudada, chicken breast and potatoes in a tomato and green onion sauce at my friend Franjo's house.
Franjo lives in a house that used to be a casino and for whatever reason, he has left most of the rooms to look like they're still a casino. His wife has also done this thing where each room is supposed to resemble a different place, so they have a Moroccan room, a Colombian room etc.
I find the entire setup to be very bizarre but amusing at the same time. Also, Mr Franjo has a shitload of cars, so when you get to his house, you'll get the impression that there is a party going on, yet once inside, you find that it's just him and his wifey.
We washed down our meal with a couple of brews while Franjo and I chopped it up about the city of Conakry (Franjo wants to live there for a year or two), women 'the scene'.
Tonight I invited Franjo over for dinner and promised to cook Trout Filet with hollandaise sauce and rice.
I think it would taste better if it was smoked or dipped into liquid smoke.
I was eating french fries a while ago and I realized that the fries were not made in France! So this gave me the idea: take some 5-star French chef from France and make his make some french fries in France. Then once the fries are done, place them in a special thermosphere(round box with inner foil lining) and then place the loaded thermosphere into an ICBM and launch that thing into the desired location. When the warhead drops, the person will be able to enjoy eating quality french fries!!!
Occasionally when I buy records, I'll find something tucked behind the sleeve, like an old receipt, personal photographs and even, though rarely, money.
Today I found this record which I bought solely for the cover alone. Apprently, somebody thought it was a good idea to have 5 guys going by the name 'The Vibrators' stand around a little girl in an old playground.
This in itself was a good enough find, but when I took the record out is when I got the real surprise. What a day!
For lunch, I ordered a sushi and sashimi combination plate from Katsuya, gave Sparky a ring to discuss tonight's late night plans and started to bump this awesome record on the player. Good good vibrations.
The bare chicken burrito at Baja Fresh and a diet Coke. Then Gia's Starbucks specialty -the ghetto latte. That's an Americano with room then you scoot over to the side bar and load up on the non-fat milk there. That's one cheap bitch. I don't have time for that shit.
Quote: Then Gia's Starbucks specialty -the ghetto latte.
I've stopped going to Starbucks- permanently. I don't drink coffee so all I used to get there was hot chocolate, but they make the shittiest hot chocolate ever. I'm done.
Today? Roasted organic chicken with porcinni mushrooms, garlic and sherry wine sauce with potato gnocchis and green beans. I stole this recipe from The Little Door. I went there once and actually asked them exactly how they made it. Usually I'll fsck with a recipe and add something but this one is untouchable. I tried adding ricotta once but that didn't really work. I wish I could find a way to personalize this, but so far no luck.
went to red robin which still sucks just as bad as before they remodeled them. there's like 20 places at this corner (arrowhead in phoenix) and my bro wants shitty ass red robin.
Today I wanted to cook and we had some people over so:
for LUNCH I made field green salad beets with hazelnuts and feta plus braised short rib Parmesan dusted polenta, glazed cipollini onions. I also had some creamed spinach for extras.
The rest of the day was pretty mundane. I started watching an 8 hour long film today. You're supposed to watch the entire film in 1 sitting but I only managed one hour before I found myself asleep; not because I was bored, but because it was on an image of two people starring at a wall for more than 4 straight minutes.
Today for lunch I had the Camarones which is the burrito with marinated & sauteed shrimp with guacamole, sour cream and Mexican Rice on the side. I don't know what Molly had but I know it was the salad menu. Also, our luncheon hours have now been changed to be at noon.
I washed my meal down with bottled Mountain Spring water. BTW: today was my earliest day in to work; I never knew we served breakfast. Well, holy shit! They'll even do your eggs sunny side up.
Today: Indian Chicken Wrap comprising of tandoori boneless chicken thigh meat, cucumbers, tomatoes and mint chutney wrapped in a fresh baked naan. Washed this down with a very cold coke that burnt my throat frozen.
The Toddy Pancakes at California Vegan on Fountain/Fuller. Wheat-free, fluffy goodness with bananas and raisins cooked in. Only $6.50 for a short stack. My first cooked food in 2 months.
Cajun chicken salad with unknown dressing. This was insanely good. Then someone got me a vanilla coffee bean frappuccino when I requested something "sweet and fancy". I don't think I like this- I feel light headed and sleepy.
I had an gala apple with a banana and water.... Also some Falafel. I couldn't resist. 400+ calories so I hear. Per serving. (@Conq: I have drank an entire cheesecake before. It IS the same.)
Today: Roasted free range chicken breast topped with fontina cheese and Italian ham in a mushrooms sauce. Had a water to wash this down. I actually got a complementary wine to drink, but it was too strong for my taste.
A friend in my building invited me to lunch today. (I think it helped that I moved his dresser yesterday). His wife did the cooking. She's from Brazil, I'm not sure if that influenced this particular dish because what she made was a pot pie (which is not what she would have called it). Turkey, peas, carrots, corn and so on. A turkey pot pie.
It was terrific especially splashed with the bitter, pickled-tasting hot sauce she had.
It was served with some kind of long grain rice mixture.

They baked-in shit water in there, it is their Brazilian recipe
I had the Kobe Beef Burger at Sweetwaters on Church Street in Burlington on Sunday. At $12.95 it was a deal and the sweet potato fries with a horseradish dip were excellent.

The cook wiped his ass with the burger bun and ripped a fart on your excellent fries
Amazing that you can recall the events just before your barren moms IVF procedure. Maybe it was because it was Buy One Russian Faggot Jew Embryo, Get 11 Free, day. And who says faggots aren't born with it?.
Last night I had one of the worst lunches ever. Lunch was at fscking 3am and it was some shit Greek food from catering. First of all it was cold, but worse it was made up of nothing but dry bread and the crap you put on it. Today I feel like absolute shit. Had my first meal at 6pm and haven't been able to function all day.

You dumb American piece of shit. And your retard family!!!
Today: Tandoori Chicken Masala; barbecued spring chicken on the bones cooked in a rich creamy sauce with almonds nuts with some meat samosa's on the side and a bottle of water. A much needed break from the ghastly catering we've been receiving.

The meal came with one cup of dipping sauce but since we had so many sweet potato fries I asked for more sauce. They said it would cost extra($1.50 per). I said bring three and charge me for the Equal I put in my Iced Tea.
Today: Blackened chicken salad with fries and Italian dressing. I had a bottle of water with this meal. In the office we have about 5 boxes of this really disgusting (supposedly) energy drink called bawls which, as you can imagine, gives everyone an excuse to come up with some interesting remark concerning... balls.
He was all inquisitive today. Since I'm covered in tatts, he came over with the paper. " You know dees woman? She is on de tv. I no hear of her. My wife tell me". Kat Von D came in yesterday into his little hovel while her driver waited outside. He was confused ...
Surely you don't mean NAS the rapper. Also, according to their menu, they offer something called the Naan-Roti-Chapati. That's really odd because naan and chapati, while they make look similar, are very different.
Today we had something known as the Texan fish and chips which is comprised of spicy battered cod fillets served with fries and mango salsa and salad garnish. Not bad.
Quote: Today we had something known as the Texan fish and chips which is comprised of spicy battered cod fillets served with fries and mango salsa and salad garnish. Not bad.
I did not realize that cod and mango typified Texas.
It is indeed one wide-ranging state/territory.
My lunch was a Taco Del Mar taco salad with whole pinto beans, hot sauce and pork (now, carnitas instead of pork in mole).
It seemed less substantial than those in the past as if they were using smaller ladles to scoop the ingredients and/or the hot sauce was less "hot"....
Had hankering for cooked food. Went to Poquito Mas and had to calm myself down before politely taking my order back. Not a single vegetable on the vegetarian burrito. Can you believe that nonsense? Turns out the veg burrito is just beans and rice.
" Not a single vegetable on the vegetarian burrito. Can you believe that nonsense? Turns out the veg burrito is just beans and rice."
Beans are vegetables, or not? I do agree that it's kinda lame to advertise it as vegetarian. "Non-meat burrito" would've been better. But doesn't sell, I guess.
I made grilled cheese on 7 grain bread. I used 2 slices provolone cheese. After laying down the first slice of cheese I shook a liberal amount of apple smoked habanero flakes and then topped it with the second slice of cheese and the other slice of bread. Its was fucking awesome! I think I'll go make one now.
Went out with my friend and his baby. Today was baby's first haircut. She's three. We took her to Allen Edwards Salon. I was in the chair nearby getting my hair dyed darker, but my hair stylist tells me it's really a cellophane to make it glossier. Then we went to Toi. My friend had the Tom Yum soup which he shared with baby who also had steamed veggies with hot sauce. This child loves hot sauce and can eat an entire chile pepper without a problem. It's unreal. I had a salad and the Pad Ciw but made them go heavy on the broccoli and keep it raw. Just the steam from the noodles is enough to soften it still crunchy.
Last night's leftovers, a rockstar energy drink, and a berry-melon slurpie. Well until I accidentally dumped it down my shirt and i cant leave my house to get another one.

My little bastard eats hot stuff. I had put some of 'The Hottest Fucking Sauce' in onion dip and I found him dippin'. He loved that shit. It is so weird. Maybe they don't have taste buds.
All this eating made me go and take a shit. It was a clogger I tell you. 14 times of flushing with no luck, so I had to use the plunger, but before I did so, I knew that I had to take a pic of it. So here you go(look below). That was the most stubborness turd that wouldn't flush ever, the "LouCypher Turd"! I think that Hot Pockets and the Russian Meatloaf was in it.
DOnt fucking do it! I told you not to... This is a lunch thread. Go make a "last time you took a shit" thread. I often come here and I'm still eating. If he does do it someone PM me so I don't come look. Poop doesnt bother me unless it comes from someone who eats EVERYTHING processed....

I'm all for freedom of expression and even brought it up earlier today that no photo should be removed just because some may find it unappealing, but this is over the top, irrelevant to the thread, thread hogging/attn whoring, and beloved IN THE LUNCH THREAD nonetheless.

The previous post was made by a tweaker mother of children too young to make decisions for themselves. Every post made by her is time taken away from these poor innocents. She chooses to toss the kids in a playpen, plug in a Sesame Street dvd and post on XPT instead of interacting with her flesh and blood.
Please help the children by ignoring her compulsion to respond vacuously to every thread on the board.

Lunch at 9:30pm. I'm back to having a really fscked up schedule. Today we had fish sandwiches with fries. The girl who does our catering has this munchkin chick helping her and tonight she got carried away with the bawls jokes and just wouldn't stop. Apart from that- really long night up ahead.
Today we had a very generic lunch of pizza. Possibly my least favorite kind of luncheon experience because our catering cannot make a good pizza and just stick two toppings.
I didn't have time for lunch, so I ate 2 pink lady apples in the car. Veronique Vega is obsessed with them, and made me get some. They're only avail in L.Aa at Bristol Farms. They taste kinda custardy at times once you bite in.
Quote: Jeff, why are you eating at the same place everyday?
Today I made a banana and frozen rubarb smoothie with almond milk. Then I went to Cafe Primo for coffee.
Ha! It looks that way, huh? The first and third pictures above are the same place, because it's a good one. You should see my little blog lately, it's gotten so redundant it's hardly worth posting or reading. And it's all about dining on the cheap.
The second pic is from a different spot. A little bistro around the way. Mine was an organic veggie burger with roasted red bell peppers, oven-roasted tomato, caramelized onion, green leaf lettuce, and homemade ketchup. Best in town.
That smoothie sounds great, but I couldn't start my day without a coffee first. I thought you were anti-coffee at some point. Speaking of which, who's been to Intelligentsia at Sunset Junction? I've heard good things.
I used to have to have coffee everyday but now just a few times a week. No mochafrappahazelnutventiskinnywithfoam; just an Americano. That's $2 at sbux. Haven't been to Intelligencia yet, but I heard it's like the old school quality coffee joint back home in Seattle. I HATE Los Feliz, Silverlake, etc. Anything East of Highland, count me out. The streets get all twisty turny, it's crowded and narrow, it's far from the ocean, cluttered, and even the air seems heavy.
Not into veggie burgers and I prefer the freshness and crunch of raw onions. But try the one at M Chaya on Melrose. My friend swears by their veggie burger when we hit that place up.
Today we had mashed potatoes, steak, some green peas and lettuce. Really weird combo. I have to wonder what the lady in charge of catering is thinking and nobody else seems to question this bizarre menu. For her credit the mashed potatoes were really good.
You are definitely not my alt because as much as I heart the evilness of mash potatoes (yes, with butter when I reaaally wanna be evil), I make it from scratch. Doesn't even take long to make.

Ahh.. the jig is up, but this sure is a funny way of inviting me over for dinner. And believe me, I won't take long either.
So yea.. I took your suggestion and tried the The Big Macro at M Chaya yesterday. Great burger. A friend ordered one too, and another, the Bi-Bim Bop. Everyone was stoked on their food. Good call. Thanks.
Jeff, so glad for you guys. M Chaya is the bomb. Next, try their bento box.
Today I had the flourless chocolate cake for lunch today at Urth on Melrose/ San Vincente. Not a raw dish, but I figured why not. It was so rich, I couldn't finish it and gave the rest to a bum. Then at home, I made iced green tea with mint leaves.
Today we had Paella, saffron and shrimp. Paella is a Spanish rice dish mainly consisting of white rice, meat, saffron and vegetables. For desert we had a basket of fruit.
Quote: The garden burger salad at Lulu's on Beverly Blvd/ La Brea. Canceled the cheese for beets. Slices. Not julienne.
Maybe I should try beets again. My mother's always been a fan. Since a kid, I've equated them with lima beans and brussel sprouts (which I loathe) for some reason. I remember them tasting like dirt.
No way. Lima beans and brussel sprouts (though, I love them) have a more dense texture. Beets are more juicy and crisp and cool to the touch. Maybe you had canned or overly cooked beets.
Today we had lunch @ 2:30pm and got the choice of Chicken or Shrimp Chow Mein with either boiled white rice or shrimp fried rice. I opted for the boiled rice and the chicken chow mein. For those that don't know, chow mein is stir-fried noodles. Though the food was pretty decent (for catering) I really think I've outgrown Chinese food.
Glad you approve. I also like to add things like a couple of pickled onions to my lunch.
I'm not a fat guy and I'm not interested in being one and pickled onions are negligible in calories while being relatively large. They are pretty salty though.
Hey Gia: How do pickled foods fit into a healthy diet? I have never pickled anything but I know it involves hot liquid (often) in the process. Though that isn't meant to cook so much as kill off bacteria and preserve the food is it still considered raw food if I eat a pickled onion?
I had a Grilled Chicken Breast with lettuce, light mayo and just a drop of pesto sauce with tomatoes, cheese and onions. Washed this fine meal down with a bottle of sparkling water. YUM!
Assisted my friend on a shoot. Catering had amazing food with everything for the carnivore to the raw foodist. I had the riceless rolls wrapped in cucumber sheets with carrots and avocados inside. Veggie Naruto is what they were called. I'm gonna request this next time I'm at a sushi place.
Then I went to a Wicked set and drank all their coffee.
We went to a soul food place for a late lunch. I had cube steak, "corn-n-okra" which is creamed corn (unsweetened) and fried okra along with homemade cornbread and sweet tea. I pour the corn over top of the okra.
It's not as good as my grandmothers but it was not bad.
A few callsigns, names, and locations I copied as I listened to other people talk in Morse.
The key is a Brown Bros. CTL from the 60's, I just got it hooked up, my co-worker found it at a thrift shop. It is actually a very well crafted and sought after piece.
I thought posting bologna sandwiches here might rattle someone's cage...
On a new "lifestyle" ... found a Florida MD whose beliefs are more on the line of what a certain XPT believes I should be eating. So far the diet has been fruitful and fun. And, I'm far less hungry ... especially late at night when most of my eating occurred in the past.
YESTERDAY's lunch:
Fruit cup: 10 quartered cherries and several whole blueberries [fit in a 6 oz "Light & Fit" cup].
3 Sandwiches: 1 slice of Wonder Light Wheat Bread [.25g fat, 6.5 net carbs] 3 slices of lean deli ham. 4 rings of Shoprite Hot Banana Pepper Rings [0 fat, 2g carbs in an OUNCE] 2 pieces of Cento Red & Yellow Roasted Peppers [0 fat, 1g carbs in an OUNCE]. generous squeeze of Gold's Mustard and Horseradish [zero fat/carbs]. [slice folded in stuffed in fat face as a sandwich].
Cereal: 9 quartered cherries and several whole blueberries [3/4 of a 6 oz "Light & Fit" cup]. 1/2 cup Special K Protein Plus [10g protein, 3g fat, 9g net carbs in 3/4 cup]. 3/4* of 6 oz Dannon Light & Fit Yogurt - Limited Time Only Watermelon [5g protein, 0g fat, 16g carbs in 6oz] generous sprinkle of cinnamon.
I've been reading a lot about additives and processed foods for one of my summer classes. Im basically convinced 95% of food is out to get me now. Ive been going to the grocery store with suspicious shifty eyes because all these products don't think Im onto them. I totally am. I've eaten nothing but organic fruits and vegetables the past three days as well as walnuts and ezekiel bread. Im sure this is probably just a phase (like posting on porn forums) but I thought Gia would be proud.
Today I made a variant of my 'Tastemaster's Tuna'.
~1.5 cups of finely chopped celery 1 coarsely chopped yellow onion 3 finely chopped baby carrots 2 finely chopped red radishes coarsely chopped top of a sweet green pepper coarsely chopped top of a mild red pepper ~10 rings of hot banana pepper, finely chopped ~1 tbsp brown mustard ~1 tbsp grated full-strength horseradish ~3 tbsp Pfeiffer's light ranch dressing 3 cans of Chicken of the Sea solid white albacore tuna in H2O
Usually I use red onions, but I have an abundance of yellow on hand. Also, the dressing was an "emergency" replacement since, much to my surprise, I didn't have mayo on hand [I usually have too much and end up throwing expired unopened jars away]. It gave it an interesting/different taste.
Had as much as would fit on the top of 2 halves of a Thomas' English muffin and liberally chomped on a bunch more without bread.
There's lots now for another time and/or snacks. I often take romaine lettuce leaves and use them to 'wrap' the tuna. I also have some yellow and green zucchini to slice to use as "crackers".
Today I had a Sushi Combination lunch special consisting of tuna, salmon, shrimp, red snapper, eel (my favorite) and 6 pieces of tekka maki. All sushi is served with miso soup and a side of rice.
Technically this is a very lazy lunch for, but I've lately been out of energy.
Technically, my lunch was my diner. Went to Cicada with some friends and I had the Grilled Chicken with fettuccine vegetables, mashed potatoes and lemon-green pepper sauce with a glass of Semillon. I didn't keep up with what everyone else had because I was tired.
jeff, where do you have your luncheons? I notice the table setting is almost always the same sunny setting.
It's not really a place I go to often myself, but I have a friend who goes there quite a few times on Saturday because they like to do this Poirot thing and I guess the atmosphere there is just perfect.
Not a fan of rolls either- except maybe California roll. Never heard of the crunchy roll before either. What's it got?
Today I had Spaghetti Bolognese which was made by my neighbor. It was weird: they had a bunch of people at their house going through bags and bags of stuff. At first I thought it was a garage sale but it wasn't. I didn't ask either. The spaghetti was good.
Today I had lunch with Sparky at the newly established Hakobe in Beverly Hills. Swank and tidy little joint with an Islandy vibe going on- maybe the owners are from Hokkaido.
Sparky ordered Shake Ikura Don (sliced salmon with salmon egg) with a side order of the chefs selection of assorted sashimi shared between the two of us. I ordered the Chicken teriyaki (boneless broiled chicken and basted with teriyaki sauce).
A pretty cool place with a nice vibe- I like the "private" room, an addition that will surely make less important people feel pretty important.
Today I had lunch at work with my UPMs Molly and Rick (though he's now more popularly known as Pretty Ricky). I normally don't like eating lunch at work but sometimes I can't be arsed to go out.
On the menu we had lemon sole with semi dried grape almonds and apple jelly for starters and roast spring chicken, fig carpaccio cavolo nero and lentils as the main. Crazy combo but I rather enjoyed that.
Heh errr... no ! That's baked possum ! Never tried any of my road crossing challenged friends. I have had plenty of squirrel, rabbit, and frogs legs though. A little bear,venison, grouse, quail,pheasant,buffalo and the odd crawdad and alligator and even once muskrat.
One of the attorneys at the office is a hunter, and eats every fucking thing he kills, he eats Black Bear , and all the shit you listed. I would never eat any of that stuff. Im trying to ween off of red meat altogether.
When you eat opossum, it is recommended you chase it with a Coke. (Cocola, we call it down here). It cuts the grease that will coat the roof of your mouth.
Kimberly Kane and I went to the new raw cafe near Vivid called Sun Power. The food was good but they went too heavy on the sauces. The Pizza Supreme had a wonderful crust that was like focaccia bread and the marinara sauce topped with sun dried tomatoes gave way for a hearty texture. Before that, we had their taco wrap appetizers which were like southwest spring rolls.
I had the lasagna from Follow My Heart which is in Canoga Park. They gave me an ample side salad made from organic greens and I washed it down with an ice tea. Their lasagna is killer. The only problem I have with the place, other than the damn hippies, is their weird system of paying for the food at the register in the grocery store section when you're finished eating in the restaurant.
I have a new assistant in the office. Just found out today. It's nice- now I have the option of having someone else decide what I should have for lunch. As a test run I asked her to get me lunch then pretended I was too busy to even suggest the type of meal. A few minutes later she returned with a bento box special of chicken teriyaki and california roll. "Molly said you like sushi" she said. It's a start.
Second (but more off topic) does anyone use the applications for blackberry on app world? This may sound really retarded but I spent all morning playing with that. Downloaded and archived a bunch of these programs. Not really sure why I need them (I hate using the phone in the first place), but now I have the option of updating my facebook status whilst sitting in traffic.
Have a suggestion for a raw dish for Gia and whoever else is interested. Cut a head of cabbage in half, and then finely shred the cabbage with a knife. Dress it with extra virgin olive oil, and if you like a bit of sourness, either freshly squeezed lemon or a bit of red wine vinegar. Top with some nice freshly crumbled feta cheese and kalamata olives. Ever think of munching on something like this rather than your ziti or homemade pizza, Alex?
Some folks like to add finely shredded purple onion. I buy feta packaged in its brine. That type of feta is unprocessed and I believe has few additives.
Today I decided to cook up a feast: Ribolita classic Tuscan soup with olive oil and a traditional Bouillabaisse. Let my girlfriend pick a wine and she chose a 2006 Beaujolais Chateau de Boisfranc. I'm now light-headed.
I volunteer to drink nothing but fancy veggie juices so you can see if my jizz tastes like a smoothie. But if you're naughty, I'll drink only asparagus juice.
Merci merci. Now you all make me want to throw a brunch party just to have people compliment me. I'm right now making a mid-day meal whilst listening to a couple of jawns from this record. Bienvenue chez moi.
Today I got a pleasant visit from Dennis. Dennis is one of my best friends, he's in his late 50s, long since retired and spends most of his time traveling. "Done any traveling lately?" is what he'd always say. Dennis also has a wife in her mid 30s; an Albanian with steel gray eyes. Have you ever seen a woman with gray eyes?
He sat at the kitchen table and watched me prepare a salad of heritage beetroots with fresh sheeps ricotta, quince and pine nuts. I used a recipe I found in an old cookbook I bought strictly because it had this nostalgic image on the cover that reminded me of my home economics (cooking) classes in high school. The beetroots however are called borscht and one is advised to use fresh, not picked beets, pine not hazelnuts and has you drain a tablespoon of capers in brine.
After much chop chop I wasn't even sure I was going to get the desired result but I was really surprised. A demanding luncheon experience but a rewarding one too. My home economics teacher Mrs. Guest would be proud.
A few weeks ago we received an e-mail at the office that simply read "Do you guys like coffee?" to which one of our interns replied "Yes". We didn't really think much about it after that until this morning-
We received 3 boxes full of bags of coffee beans. I personally don't drink coffee so this entire package would have gone ignored except I couldn't ignore all the mouth smacking after Josie brewed a pot. Everyone was going mmmmmmm and ahhhhhhhh and smacking their lips. "OH my God this is good coffee" they said.
So I decided to get a cup, curious to see what good coffee tastes like. It still had that oily aftertaste but with an even fuller flavor. I had about 6 cups of this stuff before I realized I was definitely "buzzing". The coffee is an Ethiopian brand known as Yirgacheffe. I'm not sure if everyone that drinks coffee gets to feel as high as I did, but if that's what you guys experience then I've been missing out. I have now been invited.
Funny, loop. That's the very reason I stopped about four months ago. I was a big coffee drinker but got it down to about a cup a day for a year or so, then just stopped altogether. That wired feeling was too much for me. I'm neurotic enough as it is.
I still have the occasional cup of decaf and, as a result, have been handed a non-decaf cup once or twice. Had me up 'til nearly noon. 6 cups would keep me up for days.
Yirgacheffe is probably fed to hyenas and then picked out of their poop before exportation. Did you feel giddy and want to scavenge the first road kill you saw ?
I'm feeling much better especially since I've just had a nice filling supper. That coffee buzz came quick and unexpected. Most of the people that drink coffee regularly seemed to handle things fine and went to lunch happy but I was too hyper to eat anything.

Way to let the cat out of the bag. Now they're going to be doing the same thing at Starbucks. Next your going to be telling us how they make iPods.
The Japanese are rather obsessive about the time. The word for clock and time is the same in Japanese. I wouldn't have noticed anything had she not left this obsessively precise notice on my pillow.
Also one question: What kind of massage is available from 7pm to 2am only? 4,200 yen for 40 minutes.

Ive never noticed an oily aftertaste in coffee...and i drink it every day. Grew up on it...my parents go through like 3 pots a day between the two of them! But fresh ground GOOD coffee is SOOOO good. Just the smell of the beans grinding perks me up. LOVE it! Never heard of that brand though.
Late lunch/early dinner with my woman. Ate at a great Hunanese restaurant. Soup was a tureen of chicken stock flavored with bits of pork and bok choy. Marvelously fresh. Next was Chairman Mao's red-braised pork, General Tso's chicken, and Country Bumpkin chicken. The first two are easy enough to google. Country bumpkin chicken is charred pieces of chicken on the bone stir-fried with chilie pepperps and bell peppers and served in a sauce dominated by red chile infused cooking oil.
Just loaded the ribs into the oven. I did not had the BBQ sauce so I made my own sauce, the Bhopal Sauce from ketchup, mustard, corn syrup, sweet & sour sauce, garlic powder, salt and Italian seasoning.
I called it that way because it could've been a flop. But it turned out very good, so good that I even made a couple of toasts so I could dip it in the sauce, you know: the Russian way! And to top it all of I scooped a scoop of strawberry ice cream and finished it with some black cherry sauce. That's how you gotta live in America.
I am making now a special fried chicken, in batter. I kinda got inspired by Harland Sanders and wanna see what I can do at home close to his stuff. I made a special spice & herb mix and even special bread crumbs that I made from the special bread that I made myself.
I ate lunch at a Waffle House today. I had a bacon Texas cheesesteak sandwich and hashbrowns scattered smothered and covered. I couldn't eat all the hashbrowns and only about 3/4 of the sandwich. The waiter was a fag who bragged about his 20 yrs with Waffle House. I was begging for a waitress who would call me "sweetheart" or "darlin'".
lol panzers down with government cheese.the buns look like he keeps the bag of buns under his mattress for safe keeping.or maybe hes trying to see if theyll hatch.
Quote: He got the buns by dump diving a fast food place. I think he's already confessed to that.
Arnold bakery buns and the Kraft Singles cheese. With a home-made hamburger patty, topped with onions, hot pickles and banana peppers and smothered with ranch on the bottom and ketchup on the top.
Quote: Because the national debt is Nancy Pelosi's fault?
Blinky is responsible for the portion that accrued during her tenure. Now do you have something lunch related or are you just padding your post count as usual?
Bowl of Chili, Grilled Cheese Sandwich and a Sprite from a convenient Waffle House. Not a bad lunch on a cold day for 5 bucks. (Waffle House probably feels the same way).
Chicken with strawberry flavored enema sauce, German potato salad, and beef tongue? If you were to replace a couple of those dishes with some vegetables you wouldn't have to worry about your weight so much.

It's baked chicken with mango sauce and buffalo sauce, gourmet mashed potatoes and marinated mushrooms.
Today I had a late lunch at The Beverly Wilshire Hotel. That's the same hotel from Pretty Woman. Next time, I'll wear my thigh high boots for proper homage. This time, I wore this. I ate the lobster and pasta with a glass of flat Figi water. No butter. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

Haha, big plate with tiny amount of food. You got ripped off.
By the way, how much was it and how big was the tip?
Grilled Chicken Piri Piri sandwich with cheddar and horseradish slaw from a nearby food cart (Portland has 609 of 'em). Weird, good and perplexing in terms of: 1) why the vendor came up with this combo; and 2) why I found it attractive.
Lunch at Urth Cafe on Melrose/San Vincente. It was raining outside, so everyone was cooped up table to table. Heard some very interesting convo from the hot chicks sitting next to me as well as some reading someone's iphone over their shoulder.

I guess this is Gia's attempt to prove to us she's not still anorexic.
Why are there two salads for just one person who was sitting there eavesdropping on other people? It must be because she didn't really eat this. It's just a stock photo she found somewhere on the internet.
IKEA has this special that if you buy something for $100 or over then you can eat at their restaurant and they will deduct the meal cost from the $100.00+ purchase.
Peri-peri chicken! Awesome stuff. If a Nando's chain restaurant should open up near you, be sure to indulge. It's what they do best. Or, catch Jamie Oliver's 30 Minute Meals where he whips some up in his immaculate "home" kitchen. Portuguese Africa, though, is the place to eat peri-peri chicken. Sunset over the Indian Ocean and a belly full of fire... Perfect.
Three course Brunch at the Secret Garden Restaurant in Moorpark consisted of a plate of sliced seasonal fruit (pineapple, strawberry, mango, honeydew), Eggs Florentine, and a Strawberry Crepe.
There was a bridal shower taking up most of the restaurant.
good times
Nah, I jacked off on the bill and ditched, stiffing them!
LOL
Its not the same experience as take-out. The food is generally arraigned very artfully on the plate. My last visit the food was excellent, but the arrangements were not up to par. Likely because of the attention the bridal party was demanding.
For example, when you order a Filet of Beef with Sautéed Mushrooms and Herb Roasted Potato in a Cabernet Sauce, you are likely to receive a carefully cut and braised lean steak perched atop four roasted potato halves arraigned as if they were the legs of a beef table with the slab of meat balanced on top. This edible table will be set with a delicate assortment of garnishes to complete the picture of an elegant table on your plate. Under the table is a carpet of Champignons in their own sauce. The table on the plate may have a centerpiece of a florette of parsley coming from the back of a halved roasted cherry tomato to simulate a flower arrangement.
All of the dishes are hand made by a master chef and presented as transient works of art, gone by the end of the evening.
It is a dining experience with food as art rather than just filling one's gut.
So I will leave it to your imagination as to whether I really tipped or spewed my seed as gratuity.

I think that you tipped because you are a guilty-feeling American.
Guilt isn't a factor there. The guy who runs the place and delivers the food, Michal Bardavid, is the owner/chef. Not a waiter. Read further, when you get to the "Only Connect" chapter then we'll talk.
i read about a taco bell on rockaway turnpike that just got busted for that mystery beef thats all over the news. honestly? i'd keep the receipt and then walk your fat ass back down there tomorrow and tell em you were squirting green shit all night. profit.

That is cat food. You think he feeds babushka the "good" stuff? She gets half a cup of charred buckwheat a day, and likes it, if she knows what's good for her.
that poor lady. part of me wants to beat the shit out of her for raising such a useless sack of shit faggot fuckwad like alex. the other part of me wants to help her out and notify state officials or at least the housing association and alert them to the unlicensed gorilla she's sheltering.
anyone remember that 60 minutes with the hidden cameras at a retirement home and a dude punching an old lady in the face for refusing apple sauce. [slide whistle down]
part of me died that day.
So, starting from the top, right corner and going clockwise: Bacon, Chicken (or maybe pork), Russian Salami-shit, and then?? It looks like smoked salmon topped with steak tartare.
I've been sick and out of sorts for a week now. I can't eat anything deemed a "meal". Whatever I eat comes out my nose or my ass as liquid, with little difference between the two.

with Bacon, with Sausage, with Buzhenina, with Holodetz & Horseradish

I'd take the buckwheat over the tacos or the white trash patty above any day.
Panzer is just imitating the cheap, shitty Taco Hell garbage to which he has become accustomed. There are mucho Salvadorans down here in the land of peasant living, so I eat more pupusas than tacos anyway, as they taste great and are more filling.
I call this vegetarian stew and have it for dinner, but it is really soup. Very simple like most stuff I make. Peel and wash some potatoes, dice into bite size pieces, cover with water, drain, cover with water again, add a bay leaf or two, and start boiling. Meanwhile, peel and dice onions, add to pot. Cut up carrots, add to pot. Cut up some celery, add to pot. Add salt, pepper and coriander. Check for taste, adjust seasonings. I guess you could add chicken or something if you wanted, but it comes out great just like this.

Want easy good nutritious soup? Get a crock pot! SUPER easy! Get a cpl cans of crushed tomatoes (or blanch, peel and smush them yourself...I get canned because the tomatoes in FL tend to suck), toss it in the crock pot with veggies of your choice(I go with a little diced potato, chopped zucchini, chopped squash, string beans, carrots, a little onion, some peas and celery at least) then add a can (or again, you can get real and soak overnight) lentils, or my preference, kidney beans for fiber and turn it on high for @ 6 hrs. The last hr add a handful of ditalini pasta and presto...yummy minestrone!
I made some beef soup yesterday . Browned some stew beef, chopped one onion, bell pepper, carrots, potatoes and celery and added a can of chopped tomatoes. A dash of worcestershire sauce , some Italian seasoning, rosemary, and a crushed small cayenne pepper. I also add a small dash of curry powder [ just enough to enhance the tomatoes ] Sea salt and pepper to taste. Simmered on the stove for 3 hours and it was deelish !

From your pictures, you appear to be too tubby a fellow to be completely vegetarian. Are you a secret burger eater or do you sneak Emos beggin strips when the urge overtakes you? We all know self control is not your strong suit.

Keep in mind...vegetarian is not vegan. Cake, chocolate, cheese fries, etc....are still vegetarian. Veg doesnt automatically equal healthy
I was a junk food vegetarian when I had my heart attack in '02. I've been eating occasional meat now that I'm traveling, but the whole experience has been great. I still have 9 out of 10 meals veggie.
I went out with some friends last night and we decided to get up early this morning and go out hunting wild spring onions. Gather them, clean them, slice them thin, saute them in some oil, add eggs, and scramble as usual. It is considered a delicacy among some of the tribes. It was an excellent lunch served with fresh baked bread, sausages, and iced tea.
Family event today. The menu included: Smoked Boston Butt Standing rib roast also smoked deviled eggs fried okra creamed corn (goes on top of the okra) macaroni pie green beans cooked with chunks of pork buttermilk biscuits spinach salad with blackberries, strawberries, and a bunch of other odd things- was damned good real mashed potatoes cucumber salad they call it- more like a caprezi salad cantelope boiled shrimp Then there were the desserts, which I did not eat. Probably 6 or 8 choices. Tops on that list was homemade banana pudding with real Nilla Wafers.
Edit: First Easter I can remember with no Ham, but we still covered the pork in spades. Afterwards the womenfolk cleaned up and the menfolk went out back and shot clay pigeons. (Boy and girl children out back with us learning gun safety and blistering their shoulders with 12 gauges, some for the first time).
Can't remember what this is right now. Bun, something or other. Wasn't any good anyway. Had beans in it. Thought I needed something before the main course. Waste of time.
This new picture posting shit is confusing. And what's with Panzer's half drunken glass of something?
Garlic & dill roasted red potato salad with kale, red onions and quinoa, squeezed lemon juice, chopped fresh garlic, etc. And a home made smoothie of beets, boysenberries and blueberries only.
nice bump gen.. actually nice set of bumps butt whatever. this is a classic xTp thread and worth the read from start to finish.
Thanks... I'm sad to see this thread neglected! Anyhow, here's my LUNCH. Home made cajun chicken salad w/ snap peas, red bell pepper, onion, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, green beans, fresh garlic with lemonaise cayenne, paprika, pepper, ground bay leaf and thyme and allspice.
Good luck to you Whore Strangler. Good luck to you. Now back to LUNCH. I miss LoopNode. Had Thai food today. Tried a new place. Not worth talking about unfortunately. It sucked. Tasted like Chinese food. Lesson learned. Good Night.
If Generizer's the actual former whore Gen Padova who looked a bit rough around the edges on some pics as if she dipped into the chemical pool regularly once, I wonder why it's always the same pattern of poisoning oneself for years and then going all whole, fresh and sometimes organic afterwards. Repentance works in superstition for some. All the guilt shit. Well.
Pulling assumptions out of your ass does nothing for you.
I was raised on home-made cooking, minus chain restaurant bull shit, growing in our own garden and eating organic produce and meat; where knowing how to cook is a must. Anyone who has known me for many years could confirm to my healthy living habits. Sometimes questions are better than assuming.
"Dipped into the chemical pool regularly..." I'm truly curious what photographs represents this. I highly doubt you'd ever show face. Hence why you're here. Go post them in my thread. Don't high-jack an original thread such as this one.

"Assuming" obviously led to a reply. How wholesome. Some after-face-fuck pic with sad panda make-up. You made money in Pretentia; hence why you were and sometimes still are here. I'm here for temporary amusement as long as it doesn't become annoying. Find people devoted enough to command them around a board.

Asses need correction. And of course an after face fucked panda face would lead someone like you to think the way you did. That's the whole point of it! Now lets not waste time pointing out the obvious. Over the course of several years I think we've discussed most of everything of my epic vile, funny, retarded moments of awesome pornography. Go pick on someone new who hasn't been there quite yet.

I've admitted to being a whore a long time ago. Many years before you ever started posting here, Sweetie Pie. There's no denying. And certainly no denying the pride admitting the whole hearted fun that was taken place in the smut world. Those who think otherwise, happen to be the butt of my joke. Assholes who strangle 'whores' obviously have no soul too! Shit, we have something in common.
Now, back to LUNCH! Tuna salad with all kinds of yummies. That's not mayo in there. It's greek yogurt. Garlic, onion, lemon juice, micro-greens, pepper, pepperoncini peppers and juice, etc as you can see for yourself. I'm sure not as good as the lunch that Loop probably had today.
The repentance dynamic spreads across Pretentia and beyond. Only an ego whore or a former one with residual job pride would spin it with herself in the center. Typical. And the misled assumptions top it off. Next.
Just to start the broth itself I use seaweed, benito flakes, lots of freshly crushed/minced garlic. I'll use dried anchovies if I have them around. Sea Salt added if needed. There's much more to it afterwards. Honestly I never make it exactly the same way each time because I'm never prepared to the T when I want it. But I'm working on my own perfect version of it. It's a slight obsession.
Ramen OCD seems to be preferable to cleaning or some other tweaked out shit often found in employed personnel of the cooking former whore's professional peers.
Was starved this morning and didn't feel like having breakfast so instead went for a light lunch:
A vine ripe tomato sandwich. Tomatoes were sliced very thin with a sprinkle of sea salt and fresh ground pepper on toasted ezekiel bread (flourless) with smoked gouda and horseradish olive oil mayo. *orgasm*drool* Took me five min to make.
I had a smoked chicken sandwich. Thick multi-grain bread, smoked chicken, tomatoes, and leafy spinach instead of lettuce with tzatziki sauce instead of mayonnaise.

My ex was big into Ezekiel bread when she was pretending to have celiac's.
Why was she pretending? Celiac and the intolerance itself is certainly no fun to have. Eating gluten free though has it's rewards whether you're gluten intolerant or not.

Typically eating GLUTENous foods (not Gluten-Free) as you get older when the metabolism slows down, occurs in those who aren't active and mainly because it's super high carb and rarely ever the good kind. Some are more prone to weight gain than others when eating it regularly. Gotta love genetics. Thus creating a domino effect of diabetes and such.
LOVE YOUR FUCKING AVATAR!!! Damn.
Making slow cooked pot roast right now, dropped some stout in it. Ooops ;)This will likely be my lunch tomorrow.

Nice. Stout is ridiculously versatile in the kitchen.
Wouldn't you know theres only one food I can't eat and that's cucumbers. Love the flavor but I get horrendous nausea and diarrhea when I eat anything with cukes in it.

You are missing out, my man.
you should pick some of these up at your local wal mart. so good.also try their good value mustard.its seriously better than name brands.
You should be able to buy banana peppers at any grocery store. At least I've never had a problem finding them. If that fails, try Whole Foods. They tend to have what others don't.
I bought a jar of supposedly medium level salsa the other day just because it was a locally made product. I didn't look at the ingredient list. The second ingredient listed is habaneros. I'll be shitting fireballs for a week.
I bought peppers at a local Food City earlier this week. Red Bell, passillia, [sp?] anaheim and banana. The banana has a little bit of heat but not much. This past weekend I went to a chili cook off in a nearby town to benefit the local chamber of commerce. A friends husband had some great elk chili but the real keeper was habanero chili by another dude. Plenty of heat but not inedible and an incredible peppery taste.
It's hard to find a good pickle on the commercial market. I can't stand Vlasic, Claussen, or Mt. Olive. Nathan's are the shit, but kind of pricey. Great Value makes a mean dill chip for burgers, but I've never tried any of their other varieties. I might have to take figgs up on his suggestion.
I had a friend who used to jar up his own sweet pickles using his grandma's recipe, and they were just amazing. I love homeade pickles regardless of type.

I guess "medium" is relative. I love hot with good flavor. Hot just for hot sake is boring.
My asshole neighbors with the two teenage wigger kids got evicted and they left their Hibachi on the front porch.
Mine now.
Grilled up some sirloins last night, and am going to bust out some chicken breast tonight. The biggest problem is it leaves Mrs. Fartz inside to take care of the sides, which could have horrible ramifications.
While I was grilling the steaks, my other neighbor who is from Trinidad and is just about the coolest motherfucker I've ever met in my life came home and was super-stoked to see that I had the grill going on a cold November night. So stoked in fact, that he smoked a fat doobie with me, then used the grill for his own ribeyes and cleaned it out afterward. Life is good.

^^^Nice. It's a beautiful day here in NYC and I have the Marathon running past my place. If I'd known it was going to be this nice, I'd have bought some fillets and busted out the Weber grill. Instead, ima roast some lemongrass/coconut chicken. And spark up a fat doob.
Man, I wish we didn't all live in various parts of the globe. I would love to spark up a doob with some of the folks on here.
** Oh, and I gotz a bitchin stuffed pork chops recipe if anyone's interested. I didn't want to post it, because this is the "lunch" thread, and these are more dinner-like.
I had pork and beans for lunch. Yesterday I soaked dried beans over night. This morning I put the beans and a ham bone I saved in the crock pot on high. Added some onion, spices and a little honey(but maple syrup works good too) after a couple hours and let it cook for another couple hours. Came out great. The ham that was still on the bone just fell off. Way better than stuff out of a can.
Smoked sausages and a cheeseburger from the grill. Small baked potato. Had some A1 on the burger and sprinkled seasoned salt, pepper, garlic, hot sauce and worsteschire [sp?] on the sausages before cooking.
Here's the recipe. It's actually one of the more simpler stuffed PC recipes out there. But it's good.
Here's what ya' need
*Two butterfly chops *olive oil *about 3/4 cup of fresh Spinach Leaves *2-3 Granny Smith apples, peeled *5-7 strips of thick-cut bacon *2-3 shallots * 1-2 cups shredded Jack cheese depending on how cheesey you want it.
*Chop up the shallots, dice the apples, chop up the Spinach, mix them together in a bowl and put it aside.
*Cook the bacon, then chop it and add it to the apple/shallot/Spinach mix.
*Drain the bacon pan, but leave 2-3 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan. Saute the apple/shallot/bacon mix in the remaining bacon grease until everything is slightly soft. Make sure the apples still have a slight crunch, as the oven will take care of softening them up thoroughly.
*When that's ready to go, dump the cheese in and stir it around until it melts and everything is nice and binded.
*Seperate the mix in half.
*Stuff as much as that shit as you can in each pork chop. Fold over, and toothpick those fuckers.
*Drizzle olive oil and whatever seasoning you wish on the tops of the chops. I use Sweet Basil and crushed Sea Salt.
*Bake those fuckers at about 350 until internal temp reaches 164-170.
*Enjoy.
The original recipe called for Fontina cheese, but I aint spending nine fucking dollars on a little wedge of cheese. Jack works perfectly for about a a fourth of the price. If your one of those rich mens, go ahead and bust out the fontina and tell me how it was.
I added the spinach to the recipe. It doesn't do much more than add color and help the rich mixture digest a little easier.
WARNING Between the shallots, spinach, and apples, these chops will give you THE FARTZ.
It was a particularly hot and dry summer here. We had a burn ban on that was only lifted about two weeks ago. Last Friday it was seventy degrees so I bought two pounds of ground round and grilled/smoked eight 1/4 lbs burgers over charcoal and pecan wood. I also sliced two onions and grilled/smoked the slices with the burgers. Then I froze them. Today I brought one for lunch and heated it up in the microwave at work. The smell was amazing and filled the entire room. I had the burger on a kaiser roll with tomatoes, dill pickle slices, a slice of sharp cheddar, the smoked onions, lettuce, and yellow mustard. I also had a glass of fresh brewed unsweetened ice tea to wash it down with.
The problem with Alex is he cooks like a bachelor. [like me] He mixes all his shit together and photographs it and expects others to think it looks appetizing. If you photograph food separate is better with sides a garnish and the sauce applied with thought. Almost like pasting a girls face with sperm. :-0]
Haven't been to the grocery store yet but I decided to scrounge some lunch at home anyway. I opened the refrigerator and I took out some tortillas and the remains of a block of Jack cheese. I sliced the cheese thin, heated up a skillet, and prepared to make some simple quesadillas.
When I was in the frig I noticed I had a little mojo de ajo left, I make it to put on seafood. I said what the hell and drizzled a little of the oil on the cheese, before folding it over, and also put some of the garlic pieces on there as well. It's now going to be a standard ingredient when I fix quesadillas in the future.
I've been hard at work lately and decided today there's much needed time in the kitchen to do some test cooking. So for lunch I made a light pasta dish. Some of the ingredients include olive oil (I brought home from Crete), tons of fresh garlic, sugar snap peas, chopped clams and shrimp with a brown rice and flax pasta.
Just made some of my world-famous oven wings. Got the wings at the Chinese market because they have these nice-n'-meaty wings that they don't sell at the standard supermarkets.
I had a whole wheat bagel with Tofutti cream cheese from Loving Hut. 7th Ave. More of a late breakfast. $2.49! I've really branched out in this town! I'm eating bread and stuff!
Good bread is good food. I'm sure you were never eating Wonder Bread but most shit-bread in restaurants and markets outside Chicago or the Northeast is garbage. If I lived in NYC I might eat bread again too. Down here it's seen as a conveyance for some equally unhealthy food.
Just made some of my world-famous oven wings. Got the wings at the Chinese market because they have these nice-n'-meaty wings that they don't sell at the standard supermarkets.
That has to be the first food pic I've seen from you that actually looks pretty damn tasty. Is that Frank's?

I am not sure where this post should go, since it is 7am. It was supposed to be dinner, but I got drunk and passed out.
Anyways, I just accidentally made the best thing I've ever cooked. I recently bought a book called Charcuterie by Michael Ruhlman and it's about curing and smoking meat. I decided to make some bacon first, but it takes a week to cure. So, in the meantime, I made some whiskey-maple smoked chicken. You first brine the chicken in water mixed with kosher salt, brown sugar & sodium nitrite. Sodium nitrite is what gives cured meat that super red color and distinctive flavor. It is technically poisonous if you consume it directly, but if you follow a recipe it is like a magic ingredient. Also, there's more of it in naturally occurring quantities in spinach than there is in salami, so go and blow me before you pipe up and talk shit about nitrates.
Anyways, I brined my chicken for 24 hours, then dried it for 24 hours, then I was going to smoke it for 4-5 hours with some cherrywood. I put the chicken on, had some problems controlling the temperature and then shut my grill down to let the temps come down. My grill went out completely and I had to restart everything. After I got it going again, I cooked the chicken for 2 hours and glazed it with a mix of: maple syrup, maple sugar, Johnny Walker Black & cayenne pepper. Then I kept drinking and passed out for 6 hours. I thought the whole thing was ruinted, but my grill never got above 155°, so basically the chicken just slow-smoked for about 8 hours. I glazed it again and bumped the grill temp up to close to 200° to finish the bird off.
This turned out being one of those times where I made something that was above and beyond what you could purchase in a restaurant or store. If this shit was for sale, it would go for about $100 a chicken.
Normally I would say something horrible to you in response, but I'm in a really good mood right now, so I will just say: Sure, as long as you bring over some hot white women for both of us.
Thanks. This might be the best looking thing that I've ever cooked. When I glazed it the first time, I forgot to reduce the glaze, so it was kind of a watery glaze. The second time, I reduced the glaze too much so I ended up coating the bird with a candy shell. Normally this would be a mistake, but it ended up being a plus. It's a candied chicken. So this is a Whiskey-Maple Candy Smoked Chicken. Amazing.
For me, the trick to fine cooking is having a moment of, "Oh shit! I fucking ruined everything and it is all falling apart!" and then pulling it all together at the last second and having it turn out great. It's hard to explain, but it happens almost every time.
^^^ Thanks. It got fucking devoured. I split it with my parents for lunch and my dad literally could not stop eating it. Every bit of the bird from end to end was cooked perfectly. I've never had a chicken sandwich before that wasn't at all tough. It was amazing. I actually learned from this experience and will do the next one in a similar fashion. I'll smoke it at 155° for 5 hours, then finish it off at 200° or so for an hour.
No he can't. He's cooking at Grandpa & Grandma Panzer's apartment where you have no business and are not allowed. Also your Mom doesn't let you have people over if they don't give her $1.50 for a blowjob.
^^^ Mr. I-can't-quite-speak-English, you need to start erring on the side of saying too much vs. saying too little because no one can figure out what the fuck you mean most of the time.
Ah, Yoda-bro. It makes sense if you know about tritone's white girl of his dreams bit from whereever and subtract the eleven posts before it and not visible to me when I wrote it.
It's not really a gyro if it isn't shaved roasted mutton with actual tzatziki.
Any kind of lamb shawarma-style, sliced from a vertical rotisserie is the best. Chicken/pork is also acceptable, as long as it's nice and fatty & salty.
And no fucking sour cream in the tzatziki. Greek yogurt only!
Every fucking time I buy a Lunchable, there's less shit in the box. They've only been giving 5 cracker/meat/cheese pieces per box for a while now instead of the 10 they used to give. But now the meat is also half as thick and the cheese is half as wide as it used to be. They put in a plastic bowl of mandarin oranges, which makes the overall packaging thicker and it seems like you're getting a lot until you open it up. And they throw in a rice crispy treat to add some extra calories, I guess. The whole thing is only 290 calories now, which does not add up to a "Lunch."
I ate at Zaxby's today with a coworker. His choice. I have only eaten there once before years ago. I think they're a Southern thing as they pride themselves on fried chicken especially tenders and fingers and wings. I wasn't impressed. I was wanting some good southern chicken salad so I ordered a chicken salad sandwich plate. This was after I made sure they didn't screw it up with fruit. Please don't put fruit or nuts in my chicken salad (you listening, Arby's?) A touch of honey is fine and use minimal mayonnaise. This crap was dripping with something like mayo out of the sandwich. (Cue cum-jokes here). If we weren't eating so late and I weren't starved, I would have left and eaten elsewhere. I knew I was eating shit but I was famished. I threw away the fries. It looks like I would have been better off eating the fries and tossing the sandwich. I drank diet lemonade.
I make my own lunchables too. Hickory farms summer sausage, half a sleeve of zesta crackers, and some extra sharp cheddar cheese. Washed it down with unsweetened ice tea.
Yeah, I'm done with Lunchables. If I want the same experience, I can just buy the separate ingredients, go outside and wad $5 up and throw it up in the air.
It's kind of like when I go out in Vegas. I'm better off just taking $500, throwing it out the hotel window and then breaking something over my head to knock myself out until the next morning.
I can't stand chicken salad, the sliminess skeeves me. Same w/ macaroni salad. Tuna salad is good though, as are a variety of potato salad. Cole slaw straight sucks.
Good Southern chicken salad is great. It's almost dry but not quite and will spread on a sandwich. Like tuna salad. (For you yankees- this is not a "grilled chicken salad" which is a green salad with cooked chicken cut into it. It's a spread). This shit was like runny slaw. I don't care for slaw at all but if I have to eat it, it cannot drip.
As to the Arby's question...yes I will eat at Arby's if I have to. I order a roast beef sandwich and a diet lemonade or water and eat the roast beef out of the sandwich with that hot red sauce they have. I throw the bread away if the clerk is too stupid to just give me the meat. I tried their chicken salad sandwich once.
Oh I eat too much fast food, but mostly from McDonalds. I have to hit the drivethru 2x a week for lunch due to time and get the dollar menu mcdouble, smallest fry and a sprite. If I go anywhere that costs more than that $3.50 fuel I expect more.
It's not a snob thing. I just know the shit ain't good for me and I refuse to pay too much for garbage.
I started out making grilled cheese with 7 grain bread and provolone cheese. I added in some sliced roast beef, apple smoked habanero flakes and horseradish. It was very good. I just wish I had a pickle, some kettle chips and a couple cold lagers to go along with it.
im gonna make some sushi today later on.i read the hardness meter on the corner and now know why with some kinds of seaweed youre gonna have a hell of a time cutting through.which is exactly for that reason,theres different hardnesses.these are medium so theyre good for anything,but their little so im just gonna make handroll.s
Too depressed to eat. Had an entire colander of strawberries, however, while I was working on my XRCO pics. Now my stomach is in pain because I haven't eaten anything in 3 days.
Burnt End sandwich and onion rings at Gates Barbecue in K.C. today. Ate five hours ago and my gut is still not forgiving me. Good but about twice as much food as I should have chowed down on.
I prefer Bryant's or Oklahoma Joe's but Gates is pretty good. Though I discovered about four hours after my last post in this thread that the burnt end part has nothing to do with the meat and everything to do with the last part of the body it goes through.
Some really good Alaskan salmon gravlax. On crackers with cream cheese & dill and some red wine. Almost a perfect meal, although it would've been better if I remembered that I have some of that super-thin Bavarian rye bread.
I love Cinci chilli parlors. I get the chilli island? The one with no hot dog, just chilli, onions, mustard, and tons of shredded cheese on a lil hot dog bun. Man, those things are yummy.
Walked to LaBrea Bagel. It's actually a few blocks from La Brea on Beverly/Pointsetta. I felt underwhelmed by their white fish. Too creamy. I need chunks and bones. And they don't have bialys. Lame. But cute little place and stocked with prayer books if you're in a Luke Ford mood. It's more of a to-go deli, though, I feel their dine-in styrofoam plates would be better improved for cost and presentation if they just used real dishes.
Im having lunch at a mom n pop caribbean joint in Charlotte. I got a Chimichanga as big as my head and a great salad. they have 3 tvs tuned to 3 different latin stations/soaps. Damn all that racket. Otherwise a good lunch.
Where did you buy the sandwich, Alex? You can't have made it yourself. It does not look revolting, which is how I know. (The lettuce is definitely tired, though.)
The free Coca-Cola promotional glass from McDonalds is a nice touch. I usually save those for guests.

I made it myself. I went to Panera Bread several days ago and ordered Italian Combo sandwich and it cost me $9.03, so I decided to make my own version of it. I documented every step in the making with my camera. Follow my blog and in 3-4 days I will upload the photos. I even made the horseradish-mustard sauce.
The Coke can glasses are from the dollar store. Sweet tea is inside.
What do you think your unit cost on the sandwich turned out to be? Definitely not nine bucks, right? Cooking for yourself is soothing and saves money. Well, not for me because my time is supposedly worth $650 an hour, but you get the gist.
And Alex, the sandwich was 1000% more appealing than the previous "dish" immediately prior in this thread. That was an abomination.

So far it is $5.45 (bread, meats, cheese and chips) less the sauce and veggies.
You didnt like the summer sausage sandwiches?
How you make $650/hour? That's like $1,326,000/year.
The $650 doesn't go into my pocket. It's what my firm charges for my time. After the rent and staff are paid, I'm only keeping about $800,000. Then I pay the taxman. My firm is a California partnership, and as a partner I'm an owner which means I get to pay self-employment taxes (i.e., both parts of Medicare and Social Security) and California income tax on top of what the Federal government takes. All told it's nearly 60%. And I don't even live in California!
Jon Lovitz was right. If you think the rich aren't paying their fair share, you're a fucking asshole.

I ate lunch at the best soul food place in my city today. I had a fried chicken breast, green beans, creamed corn, macaroni casserole (we call it macaroni pie down here), cornbread, and homemade strawberry shortcake to finish things off. The slice of fatback was the only seasoning I needed with the meal.
This place is a buffet...all you can eat for $9.00 including your drink. I can't abuse the buffet privileges because I'm watching my figure so I had very small portions of everything except the one chicken breast which was huge. I did go back for seconds on the beans and corn.
I passed on chicken livers and bbq ribs, turnip greens and mashed potatos and gravy and about 6 other desserts. If they'd had egg custard pie like they sometimes do I would have been in for a small slice of that.
^^^ The best fried chicken I've ever had was at a place like that. It was a cajun spot that also did buffet lunches. The lady running the line would just dish out a bit of everything, including liver. I didn't want to come back up with a half-eaten plate, so that is the one and only time I ever ate chicken liver. I would REALLY love to know what there is about liver that some people enjoy. I had to just close my eyes and swallow each piece without chewing. Blech! But the fried chicken refill was worth it.

Did you happen to see his "gyro" from a while back? It was on a pita, I'll give it that. But it was topped with cole slaw & ranch dressing, plus the meat looked like Mexican chicken stolen from a Qdoba.

I'm the same way with chicken livers. What's strange is that I will eat chicken gizzards like they were popcorn but I don't like livers.

I make all kinds of gyros. I never wash my hands before I prep them .
I wouldn't mind having one of those Coke can glasses though. Is that a current McDonald's promotion, Alex? I haven't had anything other than breakfast at McDonalds since the last Coke glass promotion, but that was a promotion for a replica of the the old-style Coke glasses.
I like the version from Michael Psilakis' cookbook, "How to Roast a Lamb." It uses both garlic & shallots. I make mine almost as garlicky as skordalia. I also like that it only uses dill as an herb. I don't really like mint in my tzatziki.
Makes 1 quart (1 litre)
1 English cucumber, peeled
10 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 cup (250 mL) distilled white vinegar
4 shallots, thickly sliced
1 cup (250 mL) small dill sprigs
2 1/2 cups (625 mL) strained or Greek yogourt or labne spread
2 tablespoons (30 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons (30 mL) fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
Quarter the cucumber lengthwise and trim off the triangular wedge of seeds. Cut the cucumber into very small, even dice. Transfer it to a mixing bowl.
In a food processor, combine the garlic, vinegar, shallots and dill. Pulse until finely chopped but not puréed. Add the mixture to the cucumber; add the yogourt. Fold together with a rubber spatula, adding the olive oil and lemon juice. Season liberally with kosher salt and pepper, starting off with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) salt. Taste for seasoning. You can store tzatziki in a covered, clean jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.
I have to say, I'm kind of fond of this kid Panzer. It's weird to say it, but I see him making real, albeit small, progress in many facets of his life.
I occasionally enjoy a post or two of his. To repay him, I wish I could find a link to a pirate copy of that book about how to reproduce the menu items at popular fast food restaurants, "Top Secret Recipes."
These are basically wild leeks, and powerful stuff. An entire mystique has risen around them.
At the very least, if you are married and going to eat them you better have your spouse eat them too, or she will not have anything to do with you for over a week after you eat them. They taste great but are like super garlic in their effect on your breath and perspiration smell.
A ramp is much stinkier than a supermarket leek, that's for sure. It's more of an extra-pungent spring onion. We had them growing all over the place when I was a kid growing up in Kentucky. Ramps will make your normal springtime perspiration smell like a week without a shower, and your bowel movements will seem like Saddam has come to finish off your village. However they are tasty.
Shaved hickory smoked ham (about a fifth of a pound), two thick slices of sharp cheddar cheese, four lightly salted then peppered slices of tomato, two layers of baby spinach instead of lettuce (top and bottom), with chipolte mayo, and served between two over sized thick slices of grainy 100% whole wheat bread. Washed down with unsweetened iced tea.
Salmon on the gas grill. I set one side to high and the other to low. First I seared the salmon on the high heat and then switched it to a cedar plank that was on the low-heat side and put a smoke box full of alder on as well. It cooked for about 20 more minutes on the cedar plank and I occasionally basted it with a mixture of: melted butter, grade B maple syrup & a pinch or two of cayenne. Boy this tasted great.
I shut the grill down after I took off the salmon, but the cedar plank still caught fire from all the salmon fat that had cooked out onto the wood. I'm glad I heard the wood crackling so I could go out and quickly extinguish the fire, otherwise the back side of my house might currently be ablaze.
I don't like plain rice, only pork fried rice (yellow color rice), but it was extra.
If you only knew how fucking easy it was to make your own goddamn fried rice. A serving of that shit costs the Chinks about a nickel, and it could cost you about a nickel to make your own.
I'm with the Admiral on the fried rice thing. The next time you get one of those plain cartons of white rice with your food, don't throw it away. Let it sit in your fridge for a day to get a little bit stale/hard. Then use that to make your own fried rice. Trust the Greeks on food. We're like the Mexicans of Europe.
and before any wise jews come in im not opposed to vegetables,i had a veggie sub on flatbread the other week and loved it.extra veggies please dickhead.
Fresh basil. It was tomato, onion, mushroom, basil, garlic and whatever else they may have piled on. I just asked for a veggie slice. The slices were huge.
Steez.. I hope the salmon tasted better than it looked.
Hmmm...I thought it still looked kind of OK, but maybe my perspective is skewed a bit. It would've looked a whole lot better if the meat hadn't stuck to the grill when I was searing it. All of the dark, seared grill marks got ripped away from the meat, even though I seared it on a super hot, well-cleaned, well-oiled grill. Oh well. And it did taste quite awesome.
Trust the Greeks on food. We're like the Mexicans of Europe.
I don't disagree with what you say, but my Turkish friends curl their noses and say. "Of course, they learned after thousands of years as slaves cooking our food for us".

i guess thats the whole hard on between greeks and turks.the grandma in my big fat greek wedding was senile and always yelling at people accusing them of being invading turks.

Buy a bag of rice and cook it up yourself. A 10-lb bag of rice costs, what, six bucks? You can cook it in a covered bowl in the microwave, or get a rice cooker for $15. Ten pounds of rice will last a single guy a full year, even eating rice with every meal. Twenty bucks is four orders of fried rice.
To get the yellow color, add a dash of turmeric. A little garlic, soy sauce, some frozen mixed vegetables and an egg, you've got something that matches up with the Chinese takeaway and costs less than twenty-five cents per serving, probably less. Could be a nickel as I wrote above, depending on what you pay for the mixins. At any rate, a monkey could do it.
Probably the ingredient they're using that you don't have at home is a dash of oyster sauce. I usually skip it, but if you're saying your home-made fried rice doesn't stack up, it's probably the oyster sauce which puts the tang on it that you like. Or maybe it's the garlic. Are you using garlic? I use enough garlic that I buy it chopped up in a jar. But it's pretty cheap out here.
Also, Steezo is correct that you get best results using not freshly-cooked rice, but day-old leftover stuff. Fried rice is a peasant concoction to avoid waste of any food.
Just a little squirt of vegetable oil, not too much. Are you using a wok? The benefit of the wok is that a little bit of oil gets the job done. You're not really frying the rice, per se, but rather tossing the whole concoction around while it's reheated. The oil's job is to keep things moving.
Yeah, using day old rice is what gives fried rice the proper texture. Using fresh rice will result in mushy fried rice. The following recipe neglects to mention that, but the rest of the instructions sound just about right:
I guess I will go against any popular dietary cultists and make some pasta with champignons, onions and cream. Cheese, Pecorino or something tasty, tasty is a bit much on top, but had its uses in the past.
The good thing is that when I feel like it, it is not hard to top almost anything around, fast food or moderately fast food while keeping it organic and cheaper. Actual restaurants to speak of with a kitchen to trust do not come along so often.
The turmeric, or saffron if you're feeling spendy, goes in when you first cook the rice, not in the frying pan. I forgot for a moment what kind of idiots we have here.

Yeah, I use wok, and all kinds of oils and that Jamaican curry powder, but the rice is just too soft and smelly.
Saving bacon grease or porkfat is a good idea for any cook. Lard is, of course, porkfat. Porkfat heated just to the smoke point imparts a nice smoky flavor to fried rice. It also stinks up your whole house.

I don't know, but the local Chinese places does fried rice like no one else does it. Same thing with their Lo Mein noodles and Chicken Nooodle Soup.
In the coming days I will upload a review of Perdue's frozen General Tso's Chicken. When I took the pics of it a week ago, I layed them out on a bed of Pork Fried Rice from the local Chinese joint. That stuff is very anti-value at $9.99 for a 1.56-pound bag of frozen chicken pieces.
I gave this a go as more of a challenge, rather than to save money. A bag of frozen vegetables, as Rear Admiral suggested, would have been easier and much more cost effective than going mostly fresh. The pineapple was canned and the peas were frozen.

Much like many other staple recipes now considered delicacies, from Osso Buco to Escargot. Though obviously fried rice isn't the best example of this.
you guys are fucken maniacs.... fried rice only gets so good, yes?. My time is valuable to me and chinese fried rice has a value ranked at exactly the time it takes to dial a phone.
panzer has nazi bred jewness.a little known fact is that besides the leibensborne project which tried to breed stronger aryans(the spics were working on this too),there was a side project to see if the thriftyness and cunning of the jew could be extracted and used for none jew related activities.this backfired and panzers family benefitted from it.hence his quest for ultra thrifty shopping and maximizing of every cent.
no, spaniards are just spanish people.but they had their own leibensborne project,so they have some descendants of that program alive and well in espana.im mostly spanish by default but my family was one of the first over here in california so i didnt get to benefit from that program.but hey im still spanish royalty.
Yeah, I'm only suggesting Panzer look into cooking up his own fried rice as a means of advancing his mission of frugality. In the photo of his preferred rice, there are bits of char siu (barbecued pork), and preparation of that would increase the cost and complexity if char siu is required.
My time is $650 per hour, but I still get some enjoyment out of cooking. Obviously not during the week, weekends only.

It was Roasted Pork Fried Rice and the red bits are roasted pork and the white bits are the onions. It cost $3.50 for a pint.
Good choice. If I could get to a Chick-fil-A, I'd be a happier man. The food is great, and it would feel so good to stick it to the totalitarian left. I support the idea of letting homos get married, but find it absolutely abhorrent that nobody's allowed to disagree. I so hope the Democrats put gay marriage in their party platform, because it will animate all their brownshirts (rainbow shirts?) to get out and alienate everyone in America.
Plus, since Antoine Dodson approves of my choice to eat at Chick-fil-A, I could be relieved that eating there just means I like delicious chicken and waffle fries, and not that I'm a H8R.
Good for you, hav. I'd never heard of them until the Police Chief in Aurora said they'd brought the investigators free grub. Then this whole homo ruckus started. How dare their CEO have the same beliefs Mr. Obama had six months ago.
I love when Leftists declare victory and the end of discussion when they've done nothing to win.
We have a similar thing going on a couple of villages over. The folks who run some little bar apparently won't stock Pepsi or Miller (I think) products because those companies donate to some gay marriage cause. The town's in a huge uproar about it. I'll look for a link tomorrow.
Six months ago? Try 85 days ago. But the rest of you motherfuckers are out of line for not immediately adjusting all your beliefs and principles once the Leader has spoken.
The Coloured ministers who called POTUS a Judas for taking the money have thrown a wrench in the works. For all of tri's whining about equality, his kind doesn't much care for anyone different from them. Especially homos.
I'm actually enjoying this as a spectacle. I don't have a dog in the fight, so I can just sit back and watch the hate fester. The squirming of those who have a strong opinion because their bosses or viewers demand that strong opinion, but who are just uncomfortable with any of it. And the believers. The True Fucking Believers. Oh, God, they're so passionate, so earnest. So brutally fucking honest.
Bread and circuses. If we can't or won't see when we're being played, we deserve what we get.

Oh I'm all for this push from the left. It's one giant Get Out The Vote effort for Mitt Romney aimed at the evangelicals, who've been quite soft on him, until now. They're starting to believe a Mormon would make a much better president than a socialist. There is even a group of black ministers (about 3000) that are organizing to vote against Obama or stay home on election day. Antoine is right, the waffle fries are off the hook.
I just grilled the tastiest damned chicken. I pounded a boneless/skinless chicken breast out to an even 3/4" thickness and marinated it with: fresh ground pepper, cayenne, some kind of chipotle spice rub, some olive oil and a few splashes of champagne vinegar. Then 4 minutes per side on a 1000° grill, changing the grilling angle once on each side to get the classic cross-grill marks. I put almost no effort into this and it turned out awesome.
I had the strangest fucking soup the other day. Cashew, Carrot & Ginger soup. When I took it out of the microwave, I realized it looked like a bowl of steaming baby diarrhea.

There is a small Chinese restaurant in a nearby Ky. town that is primarily take out but has a few tables for sitting. It is in the back part of a parking lot basically in an alley. Everyone calls it "Ghetto Chinese". The store is a bit run down but recently was remodeled and gets an "A" on its health scores. I know the health inspector and he's tough. So its a genuine score. Everything is cooked in front of you. They politely ask you what you want in broken Engrish and then turn and scream belligerently in Chinese your order ! It's funny as hell. They have the best Garlic Chicken I've ever eaten. It's served over pork fried rice. The rice is shimmering with oil and has large chunks of pork and onions in it. The chicken is in big chunks along with broccoli and carrots and mushrooms. It comes with a pretty decent egg roll for 8.95. Makes for a hell of a lunch with some left over usually.

The most ghetto Chinese place that I seen is on Beach Channel Drive on Far Rockaway, somewhere in beach 40-60s. It has only 2 tables and a bulletproof plastic glass.
Went to Smashburger today for the first time. They are fairly new around here. Ordered the Classic Smash, pretty good burger. I hated the thin fries,because they lose their warmth so quickly. I like the fact that they put a bottle of ketchup and mustard at the table instead of fucking packets, because I've picked up the habit of dipping my fries in mustard or horseradish/wasabi when I can get it. The iced tea was crap. It said fresh brewed, but it tasted instant.
We had a local burger joint that operated out of a double wide. Not matching, but a double wide. Steel tables, bottled condiments on the table. Not gourmet, just really good. Like 6 kinds of fries. Lasted about a year. We can't have nice things
had grilled pork ribs, dirty rice, a tomato sauce over the rice and some pasta w parmesan. on the beach at catalina island off the coast of dominican republic. after two of the most incredible scuba dives. life is good.
falafel in a pita with french fries on the side. The falafel sandwich included sauerkraut. Ashkenazis playing with a classic. Not bad overall. Forgot the yamulka at home.
Cat food and mayonnaise on a piece of pre-cooked flatbread does not merit a description as "pizza", Alex, even if you got it at Olive Garden. Did they run a coupon special or something?
Edit: I now know this is one of Olive Garden's most-beloved appetizers/light meals. And it's got mozzarella cheese, Alfredo sauce, chicken (I was close with the cat food description), roasted bell pepper, garlic and basil as ingredients. Still, looks like a buck-and-a-quarter of ingredients sold to you for eight bucks. If you had a half-off or $3.00 off coupon ($3.95-$4.95 for the "pizza") you might not have gotten ripped off. But, Alex, hand to God — this is totally something you can and should be able to make for yourself.

Had Wendy's latest revolutionary hamburger product today: the bacon portobello mushroom burger on a brioche bun.

This bun is even better than their runaway hit pretzel bun from earlier in the year. Go Wendy's!
Crawfish Tacklebox meal at Popeyes dollar fried chicken 4x dollar pizza slices
Was in the city today since 8:30AM [everyone was closed], so on my way back I stopped at the following dollar slice joints: Krust Pizzeria, Joey Pepperoni's Pizza, Joey Guacamole's Taco [$1 pizza], Mamani Pizza and Percy's Pizza.
Krust Pizzeria - the worst dollar slice from the places that I visited today. Ate only 3-4 bites and threw the rest at the thrash container at the end of the block. Barely any flavor to it. I can't believe that they charge extra $2.00 per topping on this tasteless pizza.
Joey Pepperoni's Pizza - best dollar slice from the places I visited today [it beats Percy's]. Great flavor [sauce, crust and good cheese] and was very pleased with this pizza. I will return here again. Threw out the edge-crust since I knew that I have to visit other places, but if only had to eat this slice only then I would eat the edge-crust too.
Joey Guacamole's Taco [$1 pizza] - above Krust but below Percy's. My slice was a bit overdone with a bit charred and dry crust. Sauce was okay but cheese was better. Overall, slightly above average pizza.
Mamani Pizza - I went in there and there was a woman with stroller before me taking her time with the order. I took a look at the pizza pie behind the glass and at the guy behind the counter and decided not to take my chance today; pizza looked like a dud [average no-name tasteless dollar slice] and the guy behind the counter did not look like spinning pies was his specialty. Will visit this place again in the future when I will feel more hungry than today.
Percy's Pizza - Takes 2nd place; behind Joey Pepperoni's Pizza. Very balanced crust-sauce-cheese ratio. Crust nicely thin and pleasantly crispy, but could have used a bit more flavor. Above average sauce, but not as good as Joey Pepperoni's Pizza had. Percy's slice was a bit on the salty side, but I overlooked this because of the overall balance of the ingredients. If the sauce was more flavor full then it could have beaten the Joey Pepperoni's Pizza.
Also, on my path, passed-by 3-4 2 Bros Pizza joints and Papa John's that had dollar slices. Did not stop there because I had 3 pizza slices [with pepperoni and mushrooms] last night, and just before I went to the Krust Pizzeria and other joints, I had the Crawfish Tackle Box meal at Popeyes [14th street] and dollar fried chicken at the 2 Bros Pizza joint that was close to the Marshall's/TJ Maxx building ["Anchor of the Avenue"].
I will post the photos later on on my blog [Greedy Jew] when I wake up [have not slept in 23 hours].
Ate the artichoke pizza at Artichoke Basille's. Did not liked it:
Paid $4.50 for a huge slice that looked around 12 or so inches and required 2 plates to hold it. Way too much white sauce and not enough artichokes: only 3 soggy artichoke pieces [2 of them were small]. Sauce was a bit over-salted and heavy in terms of fat. Crust near the edges was too dry. I ate a BBQ chicken slice at Joey's Pepperoni on my was to Artichoke, and could not finish the artichoke slice; a lot of sauce was just too much. As the guy behind the counter cut new pies and reheated my slice, the sauce was falling on the floor, and I took a look over the counter and there were bunch of white sauce dropping on the floor near the oven. It would be much better if the slices were with less of the sauce and more artichoke pieces, because this experience felt like I was sipping the sauce [cream soup?] than eating a slice of pizza. I prefer their frozen pizza than the pizzeria slice.
Artichoke Pizza on 14th st? That place sucks. Their pizza is basically just bread and I hate the "I'm in finance but I dress like a hipster" crowd. Bonus note: I prefer my finance guys to look like finance guys. They turn me on.

If it's a mile from you you'll probably get there around 3:30.
I got there and ate 2 of those happy hour rolls, the chicken and beef. Chicken was better than beef. Also ate 4x slices from dollar joints [Joey Pepperonis, 2 Bros, Papa Johns and Mamani]. I gotta go grab a can of Mountain Rapids now, then poop, then watch some porn and then take a nap.
I think it's more likely Alex's Thanksgiving feast contains pizza rolls, chinese food, along with some of the cheap scraps he buys at the Russian store stuffed inside a turkey, which is garnished with pepperoni.
I already pre-bought mashed potato powder, gravy and stuffing [that I will mix into the mashed potatoes] that I got on sale at Target and PathMark couple of weeks ago. I also bought frozen apple pie for $2.49 couple of days ago and I will probably get 10-piece wings at the Ghetto Fried Chicken [by the Marlboro projects] tomorrow.
Everything is closed [Ghetto Fried Chicken, KFC, Taco Bell and McDonald's], so I bought the lamb gyro from the street cart for $3.50 [the guy on the other end of the block had the same ones for $4.00]. And also 1 bottle of Walgreens' fruit punch flavor Happy Drink [6 bottles for $1.00]:

That's absolutely shit-tastic, as you planned it to be. And why you should be boxed for a year.
I wasn't going to cook this year, but the dumbass contractor who was hired to fix something else managed to knock out the heat. So I wound up cooking to keep the joint warm.

I've pretty much got everything except the cole slaw and the fried chicken wings. Thanksgiving is postponed until tomorrow. Gonna go and light-up the hanukkah candles:

I barely post here anymore [I began posting all the random crap to my twitter account [300+ twitts] and this board is already slow; barely a post or 2 during the daytime. Without me, this board will collapse even further.
Had a chicken souvlaki pita at a new chain restaurant that opened a few stores up here called The Pita Pit. The sandwich was expensive, but tasty and only 320 calories or so. The weird part about the experience was with the people working there. All college aged kids with lots of piercings and grungy clothing and tattoos and quirky eye glasses, etc.
They looked like Seattle street kids, but they all had overly friend attitudes and seemed like wholesome, good people. I felt like I was being served by a Christian rock band. Like how they'll try to look all hardcore but then sing songs about walking with Jesus. I'm starting to wonder it this place is part of some religious cult.

It's $8.75 for just the sandwich. It tasted better and had better quality ingredients than a McWrap from Mc D's, but it wasn't any more filling and a McWrap is only $5.

I would rather spend this money at Panera bread in Brooklyn. Cause its more money in Manhattan. Know what I mean?
I forget if I shared this elsewhere, but I went to Burger King the other day to get a Whopper Jr to tide me over until dinner. I saw the placard for the Angry Whopper and couldn't resist.
Flame broiled Whopper w/ Bacon, Jalapeños, PepperJack Cheese, pieces of Onion Ring and some friggin Spicy Angry Sauce. MMM MMM good. Spicy w/ slight after burn, which is easily extinguished w/ a sip of coke.

Move the fuck out of New York and all its boroughs if you're going to eat at chain restaurants. Just move to Kentucky or wherever if you're gonna eat that garbage.
I'll grant you that Kentucky and Ohio share a lot in common (particularly southern Ohio, Cincinnati way), but Iowa? I think you're missin' out, darlin'. I'm from southwestern Kentucky down near Nashville where it's a little different, though. It's the flat part. There's whole lotta America to see and much of it is different from your expectations.
Prepackaged seafood pasta. I'm currently hoping I didn't just give myself horrible food poisoning. I had put it in the bottom drawer of my fridge a couple days ago and didn't realize until after I ate it that the drawer is for fruits/veggies and is almost 50°. It smelled a little sour, but I thought that was just because it maybe had lemon juice in it (it didn't).
You'll be spending tomorrow like I spent today. I woke up around 7 with my guts in agony. After my second shit of the day, I figured I may as well accept my fate and I had a cheese steak for brunch, hoping to just flush my system. It worked as my cornhole has vomited another 3 times since.
I would venture to guess that Gia has not ordered food from a menu with pictures of food on it since she was about 12.
I usually ordered from the adult menu as a child.
I ordered the stuffed cabbage and a glass of water at the Ukranian restaurant on 1st or 2nd Ave next to Sly Fox. I think it's actually called 'Ukranianian Restaurant' or something generic. I only like water with meals. I don't like wine with meals either.
BRUNSWICK Chicken Salad (with crackers) 3.25oz Beach Cliff Kippered Snacks 3.53 Oz Nabisco Ritz Bits Cheese Sandwich Big Bag, 3 oz Red Baron Deep Dish Small Pizza Meatball Stew
Grilled Hebrew National 1/4lb. hot dog topped with ketchup and spicy pico de gallo. I'm kind of surprised I never thought to put pico de gallo on an hot dog before. It was great.
I chopped up a bunch of mangos and topped them with strawberries. Very tasty. Then shared a gluten-free vegan grilled cheese sandwich with a friend at Think Coffee in East Village. Great bread and coffee, but with most dairy alternative cheeses, not so good.
I've been on the latest crazy fad diet for the past week. The Whole30 diet. For 30 days, you eliminate all grains, corn, rice, legumes, soy, sugar, dairy, alcohol and processed food. This leaves you with meat/poultry/fish, veggies, fruits and healthy fats. Nuts are mostly ok, but no peanuts (they're a legume), and no packaged nuts that have peanut oil on them.
I can't believe it, but I really loved the lunch I just made. Spicy grilled chicken breast topped with homemade guacamole on a baked portobello mushroom bun:
Slathering chicken breast with guacamole is an old trick; the guacamole's super-high fat content helps cover for the dryness of the protein. It sure looks tasty.
The chicken wasn't dry at all. I brushed it with olive oil and spiced it with two kinds of chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika and salt & pepper. It was grilled on a super hot (950°) grill for about 4 minutes per side. The guacamole wasn't meant to be a trick. I just had some avocados and pico de gallo in the fridge that I needed to use up and they combined great.
I'm doing it old fashioned southern today. Bologna [thick] and colby jack cheese on whole wheat with salad dressing and bread and butter pickles and jalapeno cheetos. I'm a little sick with sinus and don't feel like cooking.
Daily Grill email promo pork chop special. Fucking delicious. I don't rock the pork chops often, but this entire meal was about the cost of a fucking domino's pizza. It was much better than I expected.
right now, I'll be having a grilled cheese and bacon.
