Hey, shrift, Fall Out Boy is performing at some big concert down here in December. You should come. (I know you can't actually come, plus I have a Christmas concert that night (December 9th), but I thought I'd mention it so we can imagine the fun we would have had.)

I think I say the t, but I'm thinking about it way too much to know.

I'm debating if I should book my hotel room for my drive out. My dad always does the entire drive (from Chicago to southern NJ) in one day, but I get too tired. If I book it now online, I can stay at the Comfort Inn near Youngstown (OH) for only $72, which is $25 cheaper than the Fairfield Inn or Holiday Inn in the area, both of which I've stayed at in the past.

Booking hotels over the Internet is such a crapshoot, but no more so than just seeing what looks good on the billboards as you're driving along, I guess.

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

Well, if you book ahead of time, at least you can avoid the "driving late at night, very tired, trying to find a hotel with vacancy" thing.

So: Asian chicken salad. Mandarin oranges - right or wrong?

My suspicion is that some Western person once made an Asian chicken salad and thought, "Hey, Mandarin oranges are Asian too!"

As long as they have flavor. The kick of sweet citrus is delish. Flavorless mandarin oranges that seem to be included just for color make it very blah.

In theory I think I'd like Mandarin oranges with my Asian salad. But in practice, NSM. Although that might be because the only places I've had this are McDonnalds and maybe some other fast food place.

Right now I'm eating an Asian chicken salad without Mandarin oranges at Panera. It's good. I'm trying to decide if it'd be better with the Mandarin oranges....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I seriously enjoy good Mandarin oranges on top of a salad that has a soy-based dressing. It's verra tasty, plus nutritious!
