Oh, sarameg, so true. It's like referring to "East Coast" cuisine. I am still trying to train the phrase "Tex-Mex" out of Bob.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'll use the phrase. Usually perjoratively, referencing gloppy tomato-y unspicy chili with beans and ground beef. Or really, anything spicy at Texas Raodhouse.....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
To me, Tex Mex is the "Mexican" food at Chili's.
I made the drive down to her place last weekend (it's an hour and a half away) for our date
Good date, I'm assuming.

OMG the uni parfait. Who knew it was possible to cram so much WRONG into one dish?
I love that Batali has this huge "how lucky am I to be doing this" vibe and still has the chutzpah to try something so singularly wrong like a wrong thing that is wrong.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What?!?!? You mean people in the Southwest don't put jalapenos in every blessed thing they can get their hands on?
I remember at Thanksgiving there were all these "Southwestern" recipes and I was like, huh, they throw the same spice on each dish there. That's sorta weird.

I never knew there was a chef named that! We're not exactly culinary folk around here.

Wow, Wolfram! It seems like yesterday you just had the last one!
Though I guess it was a while back now. It all kinda blurs.
Which isn't Seattle proper--I have no idea how close or far it is, but everyone talks of it like Seattle. I wrote down the address of the other place but am way too tired to find it now. On the morrow.
It's across the lake from Seattle. Mercer Island is in the middle of the lake.
The Bellevue store appears to be in or around Bell Square. You know, the one from Say Anything.
Lee, we might make it over there, if you're feeling a need to hit a Lush.

Did somebody sit next to you at the mall there, Plei? Of course. Why wouldn't they?

Hmm. Looks like they've got one in Seattle proper.

In my extremely regional cuisine, pickled jalepeños are a garnish, not an ingredient. Like...pickles. Or a sprig of parsely. And unpickled ones are rarely the pepper of choice. When there's Hatch chile to be had, jalepeños are a waste.
