Where on Comm Ave?
It was right where Comm Ave and Brighton Ave split. We lived on a street right before the split (behind T. Anthony's best place for slice pizza and also cheeseburger sub!).
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

What's the name of the place with the croquettes?
Delica. It's right across from the Peet's coffee. It's a Japanese variation on a French delicatessen. Or at least that's how they describe themselves.
They have some other really tasty salads there - not your usual stuff. It's a really good choice for vegetarians too.
The shrimpcakes are best (obviously) when they're just up. They're merely Very Good when they've been sitting there for ten minutes. When they're just cooked? Genius delicious! So it is with fried foods. The croquettes keep better, though, so get those anytime.
I took Herself to Mijita (in that same corner of the Ferry Building) yesterday and introduced her to carnitas.

of course this is many, many years ago (er...about 20...sheesh!) so who knows, now?
whew it's still snowing out there! I guess I should get dressed at some point and shovel my walk.

Was it so good that you had to kill the cook afterward?

Yes, but batter-dipped or crumb-dipped? If the former, the crumbly ones or the puffy ones?
Batter-dipped always! And the less crumbly, the better, so puffy is best.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thanks, Hec. Delica always looks so good, but I always get tempted by some other place before I get there....I will be strong, and go there straight from the ferry without even going inside, next time I'm over that way.

It was pretty freakin' tasty. She was all, "Pork tacos?" I'm all like, "Not pork. Carnitas! They cook it in its own fat! It's unbelievably luscious. It makes foie gras look like a celery stick."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Darn you people. Now I really want fried potatoes of some format.
Luckily, that distracted me from the big fucking work clusterfuck I just got myself into. And it's 150 degrees in here, which is NOT HELPING.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It makes foie gras look like a celery stick.
Have y'all heard that they've banned foie gras in Chicago?
For some reason, not all restaurants have complied....
