hello my beautiful WFLers!
in tribute to the great rev. dr. martin luther king, jr., i thought it appropriate to dedicate today's workday lunch to him.
my suggestion is having some kind of soul/southern food today or at least trying to accompany a soul/southern side dish to your already existing meal.
for example, perhaps you brought a sandwich today, or a hard boiled egg with a green bell pepper, mayo and jello. your options are to:
a) add a side of mac n' cheese, collard greens, or ribs to your meal
OR
b) write a haiku (5-7-5) dedicating your lunch to rev. dr. MLK
the choice is yours. either way, get creative folks. this is your WFL challenge for the day.

A beautiful sight.
Sharing a loved meal with yinz.
Mountaintop lunching.
Whoa. Back up. What did Horsecock do?!?!
I think I might try that Brian's place that Josephus liked in Chicago. I think its kind of a Mediterranean deli or something. I have a strange hankering for dolmathes, and it will make me think of Jo, whom I miss. And Brian, too. I miss Brian.
MLK day rocks
i want barbeque rib tips
and some collard greens

A Great Meal in His Honor
Chicken and Waffles
Fuck, I had problems with Blogger today. I'm now using IE as my browser (yuck) to view the page. Bastards.
From Jo, I can report that he is fogged in at Reagan (or, as his ilk prefer to call it - National) and is operating on a two hour delay to meet rico, who is already sitting in Miami airport. CSR is scheduled to arrive around 1 or so, and it's anticipated that they will have to scrape rico up off of the floor by then. I will keep yinz posted.
Speaking of yinz - nice usage Lester.
And yeah - what DID HorseCock do? That confused me, as well.
And, I am she to which LaChoi was referring with the eggs and green pepper. Egg salad and mixed fruit flavored jello for me today.
Happy Friday!
I've never had the haiku writing ability, but I'll play.
Oh, what a great man
Dr. Martin Luther King
You got M.L.K.?
As for the horsecock thing, I dedicated a special horsecock post to him on JIC and I got nothing. NOTHING! And then I see on La Choi's blog that he not only reads it, but comments on it. I feel unloved and jealous.
don't worry jade. it's b/c horsecock is trying to apply for PTL status. HaterTot and I already warned him that i am too much woman for him (or any man for that matter) to handle. he won't listen.
men are silly sometimes.
Rico is on the phone, relaying that he is waiting in line at the Islander Bar & Grill in the Miami Int'l Airport to get in to have several cocktails while he waits for CSR and Jo.
Rico does not like tomato juice, so he will not be having any bloodies.
And, Jade - he won't read my blog either. Says it's too risque for his work.
bloody mary's are a MANDATORY cocktail before 1pm. they are acceptable at night too, but mostly, it is a brunch necessity.
i may hit soho buffet place to get a small smattering of southern fare. it won't be real southern, but they may have some mac n' cheese or collards. no hush puppies though, which is a shame.
e-que, the only cheap bbq place i know of is on cap hill at kenny's smokehouse. they have some good stuff there. otherwise, i can't say i know any place else. georgia brown's fried green tomatoes are soooo tasty.
My God, I am so hungry right now it is ridiculous, but it is way too early to eat. Yesterday's beautiful day has been replaced with cold rain. I think a cold rain is the most chilling of all weather. The hems of my jeans, my shoes and socks are all wet and I am just cold to the bone. I am hardly ever cold so that's a big deal, but when I get wet from a cold rain and can't dry out I will be cold all day. Sucks. I'm also so hungry, but I said that already.
e-que -- remember, it is restaurant week and places like vidalia, georgia brown's and b. smith's have prix fix meal for $20.06 lunch and $30.06 dinner.
I think the early heavy lunch yesterday threw me--I'm extraordinarily hungry too. I hate to make the second half of the day so long, but I don't think I can make it much past 11.
E-Que, while LaChoi is correct about restaurant week, she does also seem to think that we live in MagicLand and that people can just wander in off the street and get a table.
Is Wilson's on V and Georgia (it might still be 7th there) too far for lunch?
Does anyone else here use firefox? I'm having major problems today. Internet Explorer is killing me... How do people use this clunky browser???
I made tater tots last night, HaterTot.
HT, what are these problems?
Is it FF 1.5? I'm using flock now. Which is bult for blogging.
well, HatorTot, you have helped me discover that wonderful website opentable.com and now i can see what places do have space for late-bookers like me. therefore, i may live in MagicLand, but i also live in "Nobody Get's in the way of La Choi and her food" land too.
restaurant week early birds are NO MATCH for me and my appetite. diners, beware...
It's 1.5 and it's a mess everywhere, but especially blogger. It just won't load then says it's a blogger server problem. Except when I use this abomination (IE) it's a-okay. Someone else just told me FF has been crashing his pc all day... ARGH.
I wish I could eat tater tots... I actually suspect that the conference will be the first time I reunite with my tasty little tots in a long time. But for now, we will remain estranged.
I don't know if I like grape leaves. I just ate a couple, and while I was eating them I was thinking, "Do I like this? Is this pleasing to me?" I don't know. I might like them a lot. I might not really care for them at all. It was right there in my mouth and I couldn't figure it out. Pretty FUCKED UP, MAN!
Update. Rico has had conch fritters at the airport, which were apparently terrible (duh) and were therefore comped. Those were followed by fries. He has also had a Red Stripe, and from what I could discern, multiple gin & tonics.
CSR has just landed and will be accompanying him shortly, so that they can wait for Jo's arrival.
I went out with LaChoi and abs and procured mayo to make my tasty egg salad (which, despite its somewhat humble ingredients, is actually quite tasty).
And, FF seems to be up and running again, so thank God for that.
after a lovely field trip to cvs with HaterTot and abs, i headed to soho buffet to grab some lunch goodies.
i know i've mentioned this before, but the koreans own all the buffet lunch places in downtown DC. therefore, every soho has kimchi there too...score! however, i wanted to stay with today's theme. so i refrained from tossing a couple slices of it onto my plate.
when i entered soho, there were collard greens directly in front of me. a great sign. i put some on my plate. then i circle another island that had fried catfish. fate? i think so.
then, i spun around and saw the mega sandwich counter. at that very moment, i had a complete change of heart. I MUST HAVE THAT WRAP! the west houston: caramelized onions, portabello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, brie cheese with a balsamic vinagrette. when it comes to 'shrooms, i cannot resist.
as a compromise, i kept the collard greens, tossed the fried catfish, and added some pasta and crab salad for good measure. what an eclectic lunch.
The jade explained Horsecock's transgression earlier in an earlier comment today.
Yeah, SS, I keep going back to it. Can't learn. (Abs might be right though. Is that "abs" like the plural of "ab"? I keep reading it as "a-b-s." There are other things like that for me, too. Honey mustard. I piss myself off so much every time I ruin a sandwich with that bile. Oatmeal, truth be told -- I don't like it, but I keep eating it. Magnetic cat poop.
earlier dork
posilutly
I kinda like stuffed grape leaves if they are made well. I love oatmeal and eat it for breakfast a couple times a week. I also really like malt o'meal. Hot cereals in general are good.
I stopped at Metropolis between school and work and got one of my regular lunches: 1/4 rotisserie chicken white, red skin potatoes, sauteed brocolli. I was famished at 11:00, but I ate all my brocoli, a couple of the potatoes and was done without ever touching my chicken so I put it in the fridge and will probably eat it for dinner. Then I ate a couple mini tootsie rolls for a sugar fix and discovered there is no coffee in the office. How does that happen?!
I also burned the roof of my mouth on a potato.
It is now snowing in Chicago and I am still cold.
I just received the following text message, copied verbatim, from Mr. HorseCock, "TELL LACHOI SHE CANT HANG"
What is with you Chicago people and the all caps texts? This is like the third Chicago resident that sends me texts in all caps. It scares me. I am delicate and sensitive and the caps make me feel like I'm being yelled at!
UPDATE: I responded and told HorseCock that he is drunk and is in fact that one who can't hang, because I can be belligerent like that. In response (again, verbatim):
I HANG 2 INCHES FROM THE FLOOR
Does anyone else feel bad for the other patrons of the Islander Bar & Grill in the Miami Airport?
There's a nominee for comment of the year.
I can almost see him. Chin on chest. I'm sure he's muttering his texts. Oh, that is precious.
every girl knows that it's girth, not length. cuz i don't need someone, especially horsecock, constantly bouncing off of my cervix, thank you.
e-que, a BRILLANT idea for the t-shirt. HaterTot, should we use the pic off of the jade's website as our t-shirt logo? maybe there should still be fat kid on it to reference the FKS...it's just a must.
you can text horsecock the bit about cervix bouncing. i hope it makes him queasy.
UPDATE:
I have recieved the following text message (one of many) from CSR, who has now joined Rico at the bar in the airport. I now feel bad for Jo, and can only hope he has drank heavily on the plane.
"actually he is having a full conversation with a very hot girl its insane"
Followed by:
"this is funny"
I told CSR to order the lovely young lady a burrito.
I haven't eaten full fat mayo in a long, long time, especially not in something like egg salad. Even though I had maybe 1/2 Tbsp (as recommended) my stomach hurts.
I love "I hang 2 inches from the floor" because not only is it hilarious but Rico will be doubly embarassed with it's use in conjunction with horse cock. That kid is so funny, get some drinks in him and it's all about the horse cock, he sobers up and suddenly he wants it to be a secret just between us. Uh uh, not happening, horse cock.
i highly doubt that horsecock is kickin' it to a hot lady at the bar. i mean, really, do you know of hot ladies that hang out in airport bars? i didn't think so.
i feel very very bad for the people at the islander bar & grill. very very bad.
I'd like to direct all of you to the main page of the OWFL for a new post.
