sarameg, lori tells me that Wild Animal Park is even better than the zoo because big animals, roaming.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thinking back on it, I seem to have had an awful lot for lunch today. First at 11:30 I had some cheese popcorn, but that was really a snack, not lunch. Then at noon I had the kick-ass chicken salad I brought from home (with almonds and grapes). Then at 1:30 I went to a birthday party that I thought was going to be just cake, but turned out to be a full lunch, but I was very restrained and only had a couple of plantains and one piece of blood sausage whose name in Spanish I can't remember. (Edit: morcilla.) And some ice cream cake.
I don't know what my ideal lunch is. It varies.

For the love of God, if you ever see a child swinging a stick at a piñata, drop whatever you're doing and run.
But that's candy! Candy is ok! M&M's don't reduce me to a quivering lump. Neither does fruit salad. I don't get it either.

Okay, now THAT is crazy-talk.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I've never had naan.

Dude! Quite depriving yourself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Perhaps it's different elsewhere, but the naan that's available at two restaurants here is not unlike a gray, droopy sponge that's been sliced into wafer-thin servings.
Oh, Matt. I weep for you. (Not "sweep for you," which I typed twice.)

Up with the sun
I don't even like fried chicken, yet ... I can't deny the chicken/waffle appeal. Throw in that mac and cheese? OH GOD OH GOD MY GOD.
See, I like fried chicken, and I like waffles, but the idea of them being on the same plate just disturbs me. (Also, maple syrup + fried chicken = ew, in my head.) But I might try it, should it be offered, for lo! I am adventurous.
Mac & cheese, though, is a dealbreaker. It's one of those foods I decided I didn't like when I was five, and every time I try some I decide I'm still right. I agree that adding broccoli -- say, a 75-25 ratio of noodles to broccoli -- would make it more edible. Also, the noodles should be spirals or penne, because I hate the way macaroni looks.
Hi, I'm a freak.

Matt, you have not actually had naan, I'm afraid.
I swear, I don't think I've ever had bread that I didn't like, even the weird Himalayan steamed bun that was basically flavorless.
