"Back Jack Do It Again. Drunk."
Okay, not so much anymore.
I come to you all from the comfort of LaChoi's couch, after a not-so-sober evening with Ms. LaChoi and Mr. E-Que. I will be working from home today, as soon as I get there, though a stop at Dos Gringos is in the offing.
An innocent afternoon of Mexican food took a turn when, while waiting for our crew to arrive, I pretty much drank my body weight in Margaritas. This was followed by a trip to the Casa de -Que for the imbibing of several tasty beverages from New Belgium Brewery, and the further ingestion of other... things.
A good time was had by all. We laughed. We cried. We bonded. We made great drunken plans. Oh, and we finally finished those damn cookies.
So kids, what's for lunch today? I'll let you know what I come up with at Dos Gringos when I get back to the comfort of my own home.
Oh, and apologies to all who were called, texted or otherwise last night. It was all in love.
It's great to have LaChoi back!

I'm just impressed you're up @ 9am after gettin your drink on like that.
That takes a real Champy - ness!
WFL: all kinds of goodies in the brad bag .. getting through the oatmeal and some of the tasty grapes we got yesterday from the market.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JACK!!!!
Happy birthday Jack! Oh, Diz, I was alerted to what your name actual reads. I was reading it as Diz One Kid. I would have made the worst secret agent. So unobservant.
When the 3 of us left Casa de E-que, I remarked "They seemed like they were just getting started." It appears I was right! And sadly, I think I'm building up a tolerance to my muscle relaxers already. I feel alert & fine (although a little dry-mouthy). Durnit all!
Lunch = rosemary bread from Cenan's, my fave bakery in Vienna (yes, I know, what the hell out in the burbs), couple slices salami, couples slices hot soprassata, wicked awesome sharp white cheddar, arugula, mayo, dijon, & a couple drops of balsamic sandwich. Mmmmm. I can't wait for lunch.
Will do jack.
I am severely regretting missing the festivities yesterday. As I explained last night to lachoi (who sounded miles more sober than HT) I ran errands with the missus most of the afternoon, then got home and made an obnoxiously large and delicious hoagie (brown sugar ham, bbq chicken breast, chipotle turkey, pastrami, hot pepper cheese, provolone...). Almost immediately after forcing myself to finish it I suffered from a bout of the "itis" and fell into a food coma for a good three hours, only to be awakened by a phone call from the drunk lunch crew.
In my weakened state I wisely decided to stay home and watch a great episode of Iron Chef America (Battle Andouille Sausage) and the new Real World Key West casting special. I also saw an episode of "Flavor of Love" that is sure to go down int the Bad Television Hall of Fame, (one crazy bi!@# spit in another crazy bi^&*@'s face). By the time The L Word ended I found myself full of energy and almost called over to Chez E-que to see if the festivities were ongoing. Alas I didn't, and now I am merely a footnote in what sounds like an amazing celebration. sigh.
For lunch, in honor of Jack's birthday I will have a sandwich that involves avocado. But what should I have? A BALT? Avocado and swiss? Any suggestions from the WFL crew?
By the way, the bride and James Vernor succesfully tied the knot Saturday and are on their way to Thailand...
Happy Birthday Jack!
HT's phone sucks, by the way. She must have dropped the call ten times. Literally. But it was great talking to her, LaChoi and E-que, and I was very jealous of the drunken shenanigans. Hope you guys are feeling pretty today!
A coworker brought in one of the purple, green and yellow Mardi gras cakes with the baby inside. I have eaten 2 huge chunks but no baby. I brought a turkey wing, stuffing and mashed potatoes with gravy for lunch today. No avocados for lunch, but I'll pick one up at the little market under the el tracks on my way home and make up a salad with some tomatoes and red onions for dinner.
Happy B-day Jack,
LT- its a palendrome as well. Its my old callsign from the Bulletin Board System days. I used to be a co-sysop of a PAD called Treasure Trove.
WOW! that was me totally geeking out ... just suffice is to say that is has many meanings .. the real one (since it was created during the dial-up days) is "disconnected"
hey all! i'm home sick today. last nights boozin' really did a number on an already weakened la choi. so today it's all about sleep and catching up on my cuddle time with kitty cat. (she's asleep on my lap right now all cozy and happy)
yes, i'll be updating my blog soon with lots of korea stories...stay tuned.
for lunch, HT and i ventured out yonder to parkway deli (jo and unicorn have touted its goodness in the past) i feasted on a delicious matzoball soup (my cold needed it!) and lox, eggs, and latkes. it was a slice of heaven.
then, they set up the pickle bar, and i had to snap this quick photo to capture it's amazingness.
oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK!
Happy Birthday Jack! 31 ain't so bad. Think of it as I did: the 10 year anniversary of being legally allowed to drink in bars.
Jo and Unicorn - you both have some 'splainin' to do. Why have LaChoi and I never been to this delightful Parkway Deli before??? And, how did you ever find it. Jo - you officially win the award for Worst Directions Ever. But that's okay. We found a new and better way to get home, and you're excused because the Matzo Ball soup and my lox and onion scramble were just so damn good.
Many thanks to E-Que for his excellent hosting duties. And yes, I was way drunker than the other kiddies - I drank much more than everyone at lunch. Yummy margaritas are one of my many weaknesses. I drank so much, I really didn't eat. Recipe for Disaster. Or, a really good time - depends on your perspective.
The infamous PICKLE BAR!!!! I would destroy that thing. We have to go when I am there in April.
YES! I'm so glad you guys made it to "the deli". Welcome to our not-so secret society!
The latkes, lox and eggs (over easy) are a favorite of mine).
BBQ chicken breast, cheddar, lto, sweet peppers, mayo, and EXTRA AVOCADO.
Going to pick it up now from Cap Grounds.
Okay, I've never eaten this cake with the baby in it. What kind of cake is it? Why is there a baby in it?
Oh, also - Rico should be congratulated for becoming a Godfather this weekend. So now our very own HorseCock has been charged with the spiritual guidance of a youngn'.
Jack, I forgot I have 1/2 an avocado in the fridge. I will make a salad tonight with it! And with my yummy spicy arugula. Oooh, I'm looking forward to dinner. I hope the avocado is closer to ripe now. It was a little under-ripe when I had the first 1/2 on Thursday.
I'm cold for some reason. And also tired. Maybe I'll go lie down in the sick room for a few. I think there's a blanket in there. I miss my spaceheater. Why do they have to be illegal in my office?!!?!? Sigh.
Oh, reminder: any DCers who want to come by to watch the Bachelor finale apres Abs' beau's fundraiser - feel free!
There was NO baby in our king cake. We devoured the thing in a race to find the baby, and there was none! I feel cheated. I think the bakery was a bunch of anti-semites who gave us a defective cake because they somehow knew it was going to an office full of Jews.
Hey NoTwitty, what's the update on the puppy situation? Are you a new mommy?
Yay! Congratulations, NoTwitty! Puppies are so freaking adorable. I hope you have pictures for us soon.
Wait a sec, NoTwitty - are you telling me that your dog birthed a puppy ON YOUR HEAD??!!!!!! Details, please.
Abs, you are the best entertainer ever. How you didn't grace the ice in Torino will forever be a mystery. But their loss is our gain, and you did the best, no ice/no skates Lutz, Axel, Salchow and Flips Angles has ever seen. It was a brilliant Angles premiere. Congrats!
I think it's interesting that TheJade ate a Jesus-free "Catholic" cake today, and LaChoi and I ate Matzo ball soup, lox and latkes.
Congrats Grandma notwitty!!!
And Abs, I will be thinking about the "Hamill camel" for the rest of the day.
Just answer me this, does it have anything to do with smuggling yoyos?
Everyone loves puppies, though! You must be one hell of a sound sleeper. I'm fairly certain I would freak right the fuck out if anything was born on my head. I'm also fairly certain that I wouldn't sleep through it. Wow.
So, when do we get puppy pics?
crotch shots at angles.
my how things have changed...
Jo, you be quiet. That which you are alluding to never happened. But, I will say, for a bar that isn't actually a strip club, it certainly sees its share of...uh...action. Seriously - imagine if they actually installed a pole in the back room.
I don't really have to imagine that hard...spunky.
I AM THE MOST CHASTE PERSON AT OWFL. I HAVE LESS SEX THAN ANY OF YOU. I AM NOT SPUNKY DAMMIT.
Serenity Now HT!
I'm serene. You should have heard me putting a curse on that cab drivers family on Friday night. This is fucking zen compared to that.
I wish I had been there for that, if only to hear you curse in Hungarian...(and to a lesser extent to make sure you got home safely)
Jo - I want video :)
Jade - Funny ... its better when I mulled the implications of eating the babies. Considering Catholics used that as a reason for alot of the Crusades (that and passion plays). So better not let Mel Gibson get ahold of any information about your baby eating.
Would that be the same as burrito?
Ha, Diz! Yeah those crazy Christians like to make up rumors about my people, like we use the blood of christian children to make our matzoh. Nevermind that one of the first of the dietary laws is that all blood must be removed from meat and it can never be consumed. Anti-semites! I'm telling you, they are everywhere.
I really wanted that baby Jesus, too.
First rule of dietary laws: Do not talk about dietary laws. Second rule of dietary laws: Do not talk about dietary laws.
My people are great. In addition to making the greatest breakfasts [and I whole heartedly agree, mmmmmm, bagels and cream cheese and nova, oh my!] they are also the best lawyers, doctors, dentists and accountants. They are also surprisingly funny, some of the best comedians. Yay Jews!
The incident Friday night ended okay; I got home and was impressed that I still remembered enough Hungarian to not only curse at him, but put a curse on him (and his family).
I would like to point out though that Friday night was the second time in this short year that I've had to call 911. Up until now, I've called 911 twice in my entire life, both times to report occurances that had nothing to do with me.
I suppose though, that the first 911 call of the year wasn't really necessary, though.
Jade - I'm in love with your people today. They make the best breakfasts ever.
Oh, but it should be said that I have issues with any people who aren't supposed to eat bacon.
I will share a story I shared with LaChoi this morning over Matzo ball soup.
My mother's cousin (Catholic) married a Jewish man and decided she'd make him some Matzo ball soup.
But, she didn't have any chicken fat around, so she used what she had. Bacon fat. But she didn't tell him. He ate the soup and LOVED it. Said it was better even than his mother's. Eventually she told him, and by then, the soup was so good, he didn't care. To this day, she makes her soup with bacon grease. And, it's delicious.
[obligatory]
Bacon tastes good.
Porkchops taste good.
But I wouldn't know 'cause I wouldn't eat the dirty mutha f_ckas.
