Rain, Rain Go Away...

I'm pretty much done with this rain bullshit. I feel like that little girl in that movie from when we were kids, adapted, I believe, from a Ray Bradbury book where on her planet, it rains everyday but one, and when the sun comes out on that one day, her evil classmates lock her in the closet. Yeah, I feel like her. Well, except nobody puts Baby in a corner. Oooohh... I'm mixing movies here. Never a good thing.

Anyway, dear friends, What's For Lunch?

I'll be having leftover Crispy Crunchy Chicken, which I wasn't especially fond of, but since the weather blows, and it was leftover from delivery last night, I threw it in my bag and went.

I typically delete blog spam, but I'm going to leave 'ol willie b.'s up. Why you ask?

Because I want to know exactly HOW THE FUCK A SITE ABOUT BIPOLAR DEPRESSION is "related" to What's For Lunch?!

Interesting. I'm not at all savvy on the finer points of blog to blog advertising/recruitment. Is it possible that your post triggered some boolean-based (not like the cauliflower soup I made last night) search parameter matches that these depression blog freaks have set up -- like "rain" "bullshit" "little girl" "evil" "crispy"?

What do you have to say to that, Willie? And what are you having for fucking lunch?!?!

Me? 65 Chinese combo of some sort. Don't know what, yet, but I feel like I can't go wrong.

It's sunny and 60 and will be all weekend. Perfect.

On a scale of 1 – 10, how bothered should I be that pretty much none of the shrimp in my fried rice are de-veined?

The Doctor said...

WHAT?

What do you mean "isn't good"? ('cause they isn't not gone.)

It's just a li'l poo, right? I wouldn't be "10" bothered by poo. If I'm ever "10" bothered, I'm probably already dead.

It's just gross. Of course, there was a fly in my thai takeout the other night, which I actually believe got there from being in my house and I tossed it all. But I'm weird like that.

But, none of this will kill you. Watchdog's burmese chicken was probably The Deadliest Meal of the Week, if you ask me.

Bugs IN food never bothered me. I mean, I’ll usually pick them out, but to me it ain’t no food tossin’ sitchy. Unless it’s spiders, of course. Spiders and Dipso don’t get along. Bugs AS food, however…not cool. Go figure!

I was waiting tables this one time many moons ago (Hubbard Street) and this guy calls me over to the table and his wife is literally about to start crying. He had a napkin over a bowl and says “Look at this.” and pulls the napkin off. There’s his wife’s salad (I think it was the tenderloin, goat cheese, tomato and toasted pine nuts on mesclun with balsamic vinaigrette – great salad, by the way)… I couldn’t see what he was trying to show me at first cause it was bright green and kind of leaf-shaped and moving real slow. So I’m like “yeaahhh?” And he points, so I put my face down real close to the bowl (and also real close to this guy’s face) and I see it. To this day, I don’t know what it was, but it was BIG. It wasn’t a praying mantis, but it was kind of praying mantis like. So my face is down by the bowl and I say something like “Whoa….what is THAT?” (I may have been a little high) and turn my face to the guy, whose now red face is about six inches from mine. And he says real slow and big shotty “Get…it…out…of…here.” And I just looked at him for a second and then did one of those quick exhale-snort-shoulder-jerking laughs right in his face. It just happened, I didn’t mean to. I really thought the guy was gonna punch me. I ran back to the kitchen with the salad and made someone else wait on the table for the rest of the night. They got comped. I got hollered at.

I did an early lunch today: the Angus from Burger King (or as I like to call it, "The MANgus") with fries and an iced tea from the Portillo's next door. When is BK going to learn their fries suck? How long has it been, 10 years since they changed them?

I'm in San Francisco and I need help (lots)!!
I am at the in the vicinity of 1900 Lombard street and have no idea where to even begin with lunch.

HELP!!!!!

The Doctor said...

I always eat very well in SF, but can never remember where. And I have no idea where you are in the city.

I hit the Sushi Boat when in frisco. I can't remember exactly where it is. Grant St? I could get there on foot. South of China Town...I remember a hill.

Now, if you got $$$$$$$$$$$ to spend -- I went to Asia de Cuba (495 Geary) last time I was there and it was one of the best meals I've ever had. That was dinner. They do lunch, though.

HaterTot said...

Jo - that's a dead-ish area of town... head over to North Beach (go west on Lombard and South on Columbus) It's less than a mile and there are a ton of restaurants and bars.

Josephus said...

thanks...

Reporting in from San Francisco, Josephus is (finally!) at In 'n Out and he's having a Number 1 Animal Style with a Chocolate Shake.

I couldn't be more jealous.

My buddy Jake T. Snake called me up to chit chat and was trying to figure out what to have for lunch. He had leftover (one day) linguini and leftover (two day) vegetarian shepherd’s pie (both homemade). I said, “Which one’s older?” He said, “The shepherd’s pie.” I said, “Which one did you have most recently?” He said, “The linguini.” I said, “What do you think you should do?” He said, “Eat the shepherd’s pie.”

He asked me to relay an account of the conversation. He’s viewed, but has yet to post.

I'd like to share that everyone in my office is drinking at their desks right now.

I have to say I can really depend on your blog to lift my spirits. I once read that anyone can talk about celebrities and never say the wrong thing, but now I think this about food! WFL - like WTF - a great three word phrase!
