Where was my invitation to this luncheon on the L train? I would have loved to eat this meal featuring a fluke crudo with bone marrow mayonnaise & trout roe, foie gras en brioche, purée of ramps over black garlic, morels & a prosciutto crisp, filet mignon, swipes of mashed potatoes and pickled asparagus tips. It all ended with a dessert of raspberry coulis and panna cotta. Delicious!
Pretty cool how they timed everything which each local station stop. Surprised there were no spills.
AC Milan sure has a funny way of celebrating the Scudetto. Instead of jumping around and dancing with each other, Zlatan Ibrahimovic found another way to have fun…kicking teammate Antonio Cassano in the back of the head during an interview.
It might have been funny to Ibra, but the ice pack Cassano is holding would say otherwise.
About 2 years ago, my company moved into a new office. We left Midtown Manhattan for the western edge of the West Village. Its better in almost every way. ALMOST. It turns out, we’re in a 2 block dead zone. The closest residential buildings are a few blocks away. The office buildings on our block are all relatively new. As a result, it’s very hard to get lunch every day.
There’s a Chipotle around the block. There’s a Chinese place that somehow arrives with your order almost before you’re done making it. But that’s about it. Except for a sandwich place on the next block that has really great food. But, I don’t really like going there. I think you would agree.
There are two problems with the really good sandwich place. First of all, they sell off brand chips. I like to eat a bag of Lays Potato Chips (regular flavor) with my Turkey, chicken or roast beef sandwiches. If I’m feeling really wild, I will buy Ruffles (also regular flavor.) But, this place only sells Wise brand chips. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. Wise Chips are cleary inferior. They are greasier and thinner than Lays and there are less chips per bag. (You may be thinking, “Justin, if you don’t enjoy the Wise Chips, why are you angry that there are less of them in the bag?” Good question. Fuck you.)
The chip issue pales in comparison to the other problem I have. The man who makes the sandwiches has no teeth. Well, that’s not true. He doesn’t have NO teeth. He has two teeth. They are located on either side of his mouth. So, he has no FRONT teeth. And though he makes amazing sandwiches with delicious roasted peppers and pesto mayonnaise, I can’t help but be a bit grossed out while eating them. In the back of my mind, I am constantly worried that I will bite down on one of his teeth, that has fallen from his mouth and landed in the sandwich. Obviously, there is no basis for this fear. He has no more teeth to lose. How could one fall out and land in a sandwich? Still, it’s all I can think of.
It’s also the reason I’ve never gone inside the Chinese place. I don’t even want to imagine what I might see in there.
The University of Kentucky had their annual Catspy Awards show and instead of having a boring video montage as an introduction they got the whole athletic department involved. That is right. All 22 sports teams and over 200 student-athletes participated in the making of this Taio Cruz “Dynamite” lip sync danceathon.
They say it only took one take, which in itself is pretty impressive.
But not as impressive as Terrence Jones pulling off this Michael Jackson move. That along with the three goggles is the perfect combo. (1:10 into the video)
