erika, have you read any Rafael Alvarez? Simon totally has him writing for the Wire now, I think, but I've heard non-crime pieces of his read on the radio and they are very atmospheric. Oh! [link]

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, here and there. He also wrote the Wire companion book.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I love a good tater tot (Ore Ida, not the generic ones that Jewels sells), but onion rings are my OTFSD (One True Fried Side Dish). Mmmmm, onion rings...

Cool thing--one of my male (and usually completely oblivious) co-workers just asked me if I've been losing weight!

Now tagless for your comfort.

The smiley tots freak my shit out. I can't handle a face on my potatoes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There are also varying degrees of openness, all the way to shelf bras.

Man, that's a dumb term. Don't they also call those built in boob supports in camisoles, etc, shelf bras?

ita, that is the only toy from Toy Story that Owen does NOT have.

Freaky-faced potatoes. Although Don Rickles is very funny.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

but onion rings are my OTFSD (One True Fried Side Dish). Mmmmm, onion rings...

Yes, but batter-dipped or crumb-dipped?

If the former, the crumbly ones or the puffy ones?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Locally, we have many good spuds.

Art's Cafe makes perfect shredded hashbrowns. Golden grown crispy sheets of fresh spuds cooked in butter! Then he folds them and folds them so there's extra crispyness inside. But not burned!

Zazie has fantastic breakfast potatoes, french style, very crispy on the outside and soft inside and cooked with garlic cloves which get mellow and you can spread on your bread. Not cubed though.

I do miss the Crescent City Cafe which did perfect cubed home fries with little New Orleans touches. And Spaghetti Western which served a mountain of home fries topped with eggs and melted cheese and sour cream and sausage if you liked that.

At the Ferry Building you can get perfect potato croquettes made from yukon golds. They hand it to you in a little paper sleeve, and it's crispy golden on the outside and flavorful mashed potatoes inside. The best of both worlds.

I guess I'm having potatoes for lunch!
