Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nearly every sushi joint around here has some variation of a "New Yorker roll" with salmon and cream cheese in it. This is where I get my inner Rio on and start shouting "EAT A FREAKING BAGEL, WHITEY!"

When I hear the phrase "New Yorker roll," my first impression is that it comes with a wry cartoon. Or maybe a Chrysler hubcap.

Also, salmon and cream cheese are nummy, and it would be a good thing if our most brilliant scientists were to devise more clever ways to deliver it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I will agree with Lee that muffins do not belong in sushi.

Is that because you have that whole "sushi should be small bite size" thing?

Punishingly Intricate

OK, so it is a good guess that all the trucks and equipment parked at Western & Polytechnic High now are for filming, right?

I feel like the Haddad's trucks are always there? Like they maybe rent that spot in the parking lot? But maybe only when the filming is going on in the area.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just realized that I didn't know how olive oil was made, so I had to look it up.

They don't just squish olives?

No, they disappear for stretches of time. What stretches, I can't tell you cause I'm not paying that much attention. I just pass by there every day.

Squish, churn the paste, and now they use a centrifuge to extract the oil rather than squishing them A LOT more.

Is that because you have that whole "sushi should be small bite size" thing?

Even very small muffins do not belong in sushi.

But yes, sushi should be bite sized. Not just because it's traditional and giant sushi is impossible to eat with chopsticks, but because giant sushi is never quite cut as nicely as properly sized sushi -- the pieces of fish just too big to avoid all the stringy bits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As Tom so rightly said: "Spread that on your bagel, gaijin!"

That reminds me of "That'll put marzipan in your pie plate!" or whatever.

I love olives, but was a little put off when I ate one the other night, only to learn that it was stuffed with bleu cheese. Yikes.

My favorite martini evah! has olives stuffed with bleu cheese in it.

Maybe your olive just needed more vodka?
