More better looking
I tried to resist it because its like a million calories and ten thousand grams of fat, but ended up ordering a blooming onion. You're almost obligated to do that when you go to Outback, plus my drunken friend was not letting it go.
So I'm eating the damn thing and I get the idea that it would be better if it was ribs which made perfect sense to me at the time and Bryce agreed, blooming ribs would totally be better than a blooming onion. So I invented that.
Here's the lunch I made this weekend:
Prosciutto, fontina, and baby spinach leaves on a ciabatta smashed flat and grilled until the cheese melts. A chunk of parmigiano reggiano on the side and a glass of Lambrusco. (That's what they drank in the book I'm reading.) Is it weird that I recreate recipes from books that are not cookbooks? I don't think so.
Also, I have never heard about adobo, the magical delicious spice that makes everything good and latiny, and I'm a little bit pissed off that the world has let me go this far without revealing such a thing. My friend told me about it at lunch, and I went to the grocery store after work to buy some (so I could try his recipe). That's right, we exchange recipes at work, we are manly.
You put the adobo on the chicken, and fry it in corn oil. It has to be corn oil, I was trying to fry shit in vegetable oil and everything tasted nasty and it stunk up the house, I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. I'm borderline retarded. Pour tomato sauce on it and top it with cheese and put it in the oven for ten minutes, serve it with rice. Better put some damn adobo on the rice too. Delicious.
The Mets are gay, not even a real baseball team.

How dare you? There is no worse team than the Yankees! They are only a franchise not even a realteam and they haven't played well in years. That's right, K - years! Did you see them lose last night (because they lost in case you didn't know).

Oh. My. God. I can't believe I even allow such heresy on my comments page. Yes, I saw them lose to the damn Devil Rays last night and the Sox last weekend (crap).
The Yankees are leading the American League in runs scored by a wide margin and A-Rod is on pace for 120 homers and 300 rbi's.
The Mets are homos.
ps Shea is a shitty stadium.

Why are you so anti-Mets? Their players are better looking than Yankees anyway!
Seriously though I really don't like the Yankees (except Bobby Abreu who is very sweet, Alex Rodriguez is not, I didn't like him much). Mets are building a new stadium and Shea is getting razed. Shea has a really nice kids section and their kids club is better than Yankees one. Anyway I like the Mets not Yankees. I hope Yankees continue playing crappy. We'll kick their butt in the Subway Series (can't wait).
You need a better diet or your cholesterol will skyrocket, old man.

My cholesterol is fine, thank you. It's better than fine, it's outstanding. As I pray for death I continue to get more and more healthy.

I will not comment again.

If you think that I got mad at that for some reason, I didn't. Please don't stop.
Posted on April 25, 2007 7:54 PM
As I pray for death I get more healthy. Why would you write something like that?
I am in class and if I get cought on the blackcherry I will get kicked out (and I will get punished at work since this is not business related). It is a horrible contraption and I can't figure out how to use it properly. Why would you write something like that K?
Posted on April 25, 2007 8:13 PM
I'm sorry. I didn't realize how bad that sounded, my sense of humor is too dark. That thing is a horrible contraption but I like the comments, please be stealthy and be careful and don't stop.

Sometimes I really seriously worry about you.
Posted on April 25, 2007 8:22 PM
I'm going to be okay.
Posted on April 25, 2007 8:26 PM
That did not sound like a joke and I don't think you would entirely joke like that.
How do you like Florida? I didn't like it much. I am trying to get a transfer to DC so I could live in VA. We'll see if that works out in about a year.
I also really don't like the Yankees. I don't know baseball and I find the game boring more often than not but somehow I have become a die hard Mets fan (thanks to my friend Effie).
So change allegiance Yankees are no good.

If only you'd have let me take you to a Yankees game, we could have nipped this Mets thing in the bud. Such a shame.
Florida is okay. The weather is so beautiful and I love the beach. I used to miss NY so much but I can't go back there now, too many memories. I'll find out in the next few months where I'm moving next. I might go to Bahrain for a year, not sure.
Posted on April 25, 2007 8:40 PM
Bahrain is beautiful. Very different. As long as you stay on base and behave when you leave the base you will be fine. And you can't hit or pick up any women when off base. You could get shot.
I still don't like the yankees. My first game was a Yankees game but I had a much better time at the Mets. We get tickets from work so I go occasionally (if noone takes them).
Do you want to go to Bahrain?
My time is almost up. I have to present my paper then go home. Post some more. I want to see if I can watch Lost (as much as I don't like it - nothing ever happens).
Posted on April 25, 2007 8:51 PM
I do want to go there but I haven't seen any orders there yet. I'm trying to work it out. Good luck with your paper.
The reason I've been writing all these years was for you. When I write, I'm writing to you.

Write more tomorrow. I am getting on the train.
Posted on April 25, 2007 9:10 PM
Goodnight.
Posted on April 25, 2007 9:12 PM
Goodnight. I am almost home. The NY comment was another bad one. You will never come here again?
If this is for me what about your myspace. If that's not for me I might get into an insanely jelaous rage so be careful with your answer. What's up with all the Croatian? Cool but where did you get it? I hope you don't go to Bahrain. I am going to Nashville with my girlfriends next weekend. Ever been there? If yes, where should we go?
Posted on April 25, 2007 9:43 PM
I am so freaking mysterious. I had a very long and complicated plan to marry you which involved trying to learn Croatian and now seems completely ridiculous, we don't need to mention that.
