That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

5. Mary Kay Vitamin K Eye stuff

Aimee, they got rid of that Vitamin K stuff. There is a new eye cream and I like it a lot, but it's not the same.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

BOOO! Glad I still have some!

They do have a new Microdermabrasion Kit that I've been testing. So far, I like it. I have acne-prone skin when PMSing, so I have found that I can't use it at that time or my breakouts get worse, but the other 3 weeks of the month it's nice.

Silence means security silence means approval

Speaking of sandwiches, I had a "Vietnamese sandwich" today in the hospital cafeteria. BBQ pork, carrots, cilantro, onions, the hot sauce with the rooster on it, and some sort of Asian-style dressing on a baguette. Wasn't bad, though I have no idea whether it's really a "Vietnamese" sandwich or not.

It does make up for the ZESTY NUTLOAF they offered a couple weeks ago.

30 minutes to go. I'll now open the floor to questions. Anyone?

Now tagless for your comfort.

This is the MK eye gel I use. It kicks ass.

You know what makes that stuff even better? Keep it in the fridge so it's cool when you put it on. That's lovely. Especially when it's hot out.

It is. You can get them in the Tenderloin (heavily Vietnamese neighborhood) here. I think it was a street food that developed during the French occupation there. Or at least, that's what I surmise from the baguette.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This opinion shades only fifteen percent into heresy, I think, as it's one of the ongoing debates about Muffalettas.

Heresy! Muffalettas should not be served warm.

That's a GREAT idea! I hadn't thought of that.

Vietnamese is a cross between classic French and Southeast Asian. You get beef soups infused with Asian herbs and French spices. Interesting melding of cuisines.

That said, I've had pho a few times, and I've never liked it.
