Chicago: Totally hands-free!!!

That seems odd for used, but what the fuck do i know, having never worked at a shop. New makes sense, the 2008 model hype-train is full motion right now, so I could see shops just trying to clean out their inventory before they have to re-up with next year's models.

river wolf: Do you have suggestions for where I should get wheels built? I'm more than happy to get them done at boulevard unless there's some kind of wheel guru in the city that is the defacto source of round awesomeness.

frozen waffle, butter (fake), maple syrup (real)

hahahaha but it's so worthy!

I'm going to go get some more food.

KENAN EAT SOME FOOD

well, this stuff I'm on is a big ol' appetite killer, so my goal is not to fill my stomach but to maintain nutrients and blood sugar (something I didn't always bother to do even before). I don't mind it at all... usually by this point in the day I've already either considered or followed through with eating a big greasy sandwich and a bag of potato chips. I'll find the middle ground eventually.

Me too! me too!
I eat alot...

BREKKIES:
Granola cereal w/ milk
Daily multivitamin & GABA vitamin (no relation to Ramones, sadly)
Water (Lots)
Coffee (one cup)

SNACKS:
Some cinnamon graham crackers
Some saltines

LUNCH:
Mache blend with chopped nectarine and balsamic
Pretzel nugs
Brownie

I want to eat, but I am super fucking busy (taking a quick mental health break to post here!) and I want to get back into the conference room and make sense of this huge file that has been giving me heartburn. Plus I have to leave early to get to the restaurant, so I am already cutting out 1 hour of work, so I dont' want to take the time to go eat.

I guess I'll eat bread at the restaurant....

I ate SO many warm buttered rolls when I worked at a steakhouse. It was a social activity among the waitstaff.

awww BACK IN THE DAY

lol r.kelsey

jesse, how often are you still working at the restaurant?

I just ate my first tuna-salad sandwich in probably 10 years. It came with a little bag of baby carrots (this was from Cosi). Before that, I had Trader Joe's-brand raisin-bran clusters with soy milk, a few gulps of orange juice, and a multi-vitamin for breakfast, and a mug of Roastaroma tea at work. Some water, too.

also, how often are you "working at the restaurant"?

(i don't know what that means)

is the tuna sitting alright, jaymc?

10 years is a long time to go without tuna salad. :)

Tuna grosses me out.

I am going to try to make ratatouille tonight, and Nick is scared.

I have never had ratatouille that looks like that. Not that that means anything.

OK so far, Kenan. I'll keep you posted. I've had enough fish in the past 15 months that I'm not too worried. (It did seem like a lot, though! Big ol' scoops of it.)

yeah, tuna is cheap, and americans like the big portions, so most sandwich places I've been to tend to HEAP the tuna on. I would never make a sandwich that big for myself.

all you do is make me hungry, Chicago

The ratatouille that my dad used to make used those same basic ingredients, but it was all covered in marinara sauce.

Well, this one has a tomato paste under the veggies... Maybe I should make extra sauce to throw on top.

Is there eggplant?

Yes indeedly doodly.

I never eat eggplant, and I've definitely never cooked with it. I got a mini size.

xxpost nevermind, just look at the picture, kenan

:)

Properly cooked eggplant is heavenly. Undercooked eggplant is an atrocity. Julia and I had eggplant parm from Rosebud this weekend, and it was grebt.

Two keys to cooking eggplant:

1. Slice it thinly, since it will cook faster that way.
2. Before cooking, salt the slices and cover them with paper towels for a half hour or so.

OMG I just ate 1/4 of a Bosnian pita (cheese) that I got at Devon Market and WHOA was it good. It had everything I wanted at that very minute: grease, cheese, pastry. I ate it in the car like a true glutton.

Before that I had eaten:
cereal
coffee
fruit bar thingie

I want to eat the whole thing, but it will make my tum hurt from grease/cheese so I am going to have some cantaloupe instead.

The end

Inside that thing? CHEESE.

Aw, I didn't actually go get food when I said I would, because I wasn't hungry, and now I am and the cafeteria is closed. :(

That looks delicious.

all you do is make me hungry, Chicago

Okay, I found a bag of microwave popcorn, thus breaking my 3.5 year streak of never eating the office popcorn.

I like that we get to take turns making each other hungry.

Just don't get popcorn lung.
