This kid works for me while he attends Culinary school. He also is a competitive eater, as you can tell. He recently ditched the fake mustache and now wears a mohawk while competing.

I dropped by to see what bit of lusciousness you've been cooking up and see that you've written about AC/DC. There's not a better band to dance my little heart out drunkenly to.
Go here and tell me which ones are your favorites.

And how are you?

Holla.
Weird weekend.
I stayed up too late on Thus night trying to finish my book, and was kinda cranky on Fri. The worst? I was up until 4:30, and didn't even finish the fucker! I only got to the beginning of the climax, but when i read the same sentence for the 7th time and still didn't understand it, I gave up.

An ogre, eh? You're a sweet guy, but we've all got it in us. An ogre with his cereal is a great visual and may, in fact, be worthy of a sketch.
Sorry you woke up with a sad day. That's always a drag, especially when it catches you off gaurd. I'm right with your approach, though. when you catch yourself feelin that feelin,' you've gotta build in a treat. It keeps the balance right and can keep the weight of the world at bay.
Your book story rings true to me. Crypronomicon was shelved for a week when I decided that it was, in no way, bed reading. I usually keep something pulpy on the bedside table just so it doesn't really bother me when I have to repeat one thought over and over again - fighting my eyes and mind to just kep going. Good fight though. Indicative of engrossing reading.
Spring certainly looks and sounds fantastic. Generally, I'm not a big poached egg guy, but when you know a kitchen's got it going on, you've gotta strip away your opinions and put yourself in the hands of people who know. I love culinary surrender. It's definitely on my short list of favorite surrenders.
Green Zebra was really close to my old place, but I never managed to eat there. I was going to go there with a friend when she came into town, but we found ourselves in the wonderful position of 'too many restaurants, too little time.'
I always found serious satisfaction in tastings for people who really knew and really gave a shit about their experience. Personally, it may have been more satisfying from behind the line - just being able to take a breath and do something off the books.
Your pork and green chili stew has been festering in my mind. Sooner or later, I'm gonna have to take the idea and start playing with variations on the theme. I don't give myself enough opportunity to adventure in the kitchen anymore. Lately, though, the voice has been back in my ear. I didn't even know I missed it.
Near...Far has cracked me up a couple of times since you mentioned it. Jest sneaking into my head and poking at me until I break and giggle.
If you're down, I have an old friend in town for a couple of weeks and I think you two would be on the same page in a number of respects. He's just a quiet, well read, and amazingly insightful guy who can just take a concept and run with the extrapolation. Great guy. One of the ones that matters.
Psychic libido has, from time to time, proven to be the best libido. When you feel it, and know it's got a hold, it's time for one of the other surrenders.
Now I have to go listen to Cheap Trick.

OOOOH!
The morels are almost here, no?
The man in my head is telling me to mate them with quail eggs. The possibilities abound.
Lust thoughts, my friend. Lusty thoughts.

Things making me smile today:
*Getting ready to make green chili-pork stew for staff meal tomorrow. Pork is the fucking shit. I can already taste this...
*Putting the iPod on "shuffle" and getting Cypress Hill's "Something for the Blunted" and Slapshot's "Straight Edge in Your Face" back to back.
*Johnny Cash. Yeah, it's sad he's dead, but what a bad motherfucker.
*Nate, my sous chef,...

Green chile stew, insert here ------>
So idecided at work that when I own my own resaurant, we are going to refer to all customers, male and female, as bitches.
"Good evening bitches, welcome to Chez Drue. May I show you to your table?"
"Excuse me bitch, may I remove your plate?"
"I would say that bitches seem to love the veal."
The response seemed to vary according to the burnt-outness...

This fucking city. How many people from the Mayor's office do the Feds have to indict before we take out the Mayor?!!??
And no, I guess I don't mean have the corrupt POS assassinated.
The worst part for me, Chicago natives just shrug it off. Well, I'm sick of Nazi-like parking regulations just so some well-connected dickhead can have a Mercedes!
However, in better news,...

I love knowing cops around the city. In my experience, as long as you're not the one they're looking for, they have no interest in bullshitting you. It was always nice to know the Lakeview cops and see them as fallable, kind, protective human beings. I know it's not universal - far from it, but I'm glad for the experience I've had.
I remember a year or so ago, there were a couple of murders in Boystown, and being affiliated with a business in the neighborhood, they never jerked us around. They definitely knew enough to see that if some seedy stuff was afoot in the neighborhood, the folks at the tattoo shop may have gotten wind of it.
Long preface. I'm clearly not into the whole brevity thing. Sorry 'bout that.
I'm sure Ron's cop buddy has heard just about everything there is to hear about the Daley investigation, and what he said doesn't surprise me in the least. I don't think the current crop of politicians are, generally, clever or skilled enough to hide an electronic trail from the feds. They just can't have it in 'em. Harold Washington was a great Mayor, and I'd be glad to see the city I love back in the hands of someone who can prioritize the city before their family's legacy.
Wishful thinking, eh? One politician leaves, another takes their place. Still, I can't totally give up hope. My gut tells me that, unless he's assasinated first (distince possibility) that Barak Obama has a fighting chance at being our first President of color. More wishful thinking? Maybe.

This is my 1st entry and I'm a poor typist, so be nice...
At work tonight, we were discusing old rap groups and I mentioned Das FX to a kitchen full of Blank Stares.
Are they really that obscure? Or am I just a fogey? Shit, I even heard Dave Chappelle talk about the Diggity-Das on his show!
I remember when that album dropped...It was...

Yes, I'm very talented. You should see what else I can balance on my head!
Hmm. Not really sure what that could even be, but darn it, it seemed funny!
