What is his costume, Jess?
For lunch I walked up to North Beach and ate at Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store. I asked for a Lillet but they were out and offered the house Campari. Which was perfect. A little bitters, a little dry Campari, a little sweet Campari, a twist of lemon. The ideal afternoon drink. Just a teeny bit sweet, just a little kick.
Then I had the Italian sausage sandwich, drizzled with marinara, topped with provolone, on onion foccaio and run under the broiler until it was hot and melty. Perfecto 100!
Note for my wife (from Yelp): "I recommend the grilled eggplant sandwich on foccacia bread (with balsamic vinaigrette, feta, tomato, arugula)."
Am sad that I can't eat most marinara anymore.
My stomach doesn't like basil and most places don't want to tell you they put it in.
Or their tomatoes are too acidic. I'm not sure which.

This is sad!

No they don't. I remember having dinner with a female friend and her boyfriend. I complimented him on the marinara (which was exquisite) and asked for the recipe. He laughed that laugh they do sometimes on the Sopranos or in The Godfather, like, "Fuck you and your sainted grandmother, you whoresucking bastard! I'm not going to give you my family's marinara recipe, shithole. People get cut over less."
Hec, I certainly hope that with the day I'm having that you set Matilda to super-cute tonight.

Presuming she's excited to get back into her meerkat costume this shouldn't be a problem. As you will see her dancing in place yelling "Wiggle wiggle wiggle, Go!" and clutching her tail like a Parisian woman holds her handbag, declaring "Mat-eeelda tail" and then trying to tickle you with her tail.
Or possibly she'll be a sullen "No" monster, weeping and whining at the injustice of being forced to do
[fill in the parental request].
But more likely the former since she likes her meerkat costume.
She's been cute with a side of cute drizzled with a tangy cute reduction, megan. Plus, she's very excited that her costume has a tail.
And holy cow, Jess, I just bopped over to flickr and died of Dylan's off-the-charts level of cute.
RIP Studs Terkel.
Oh fuck.
Still, he lead a long, productive life....
I know just the one you mean, Hec. Bwah!
There is one place I can get it because my mom swore to the guy that I have an allergy or something and need to know, and that our culinary skills are minimal and we don't copy them.

Somebody should've interviewed him about his career.
I almost forgot! I saw cool costumes on my way through North Beach. Top three, counting down....
3. A whole Asian kindergarten class in costume (princesses, superheroes, etc.) being lead down the street by their teacher in a Snow White Costume.
2. A very pretty, tall black woman sitting at a window seat eating her salad. She'd pulled her braids up into two high ponytail sprays that looked exactly like Minnie Mouse ears. Which she augmented with a little black nose and whiskers drawn on. Super adorable.
1. A whole gaggle of film geeks at an outdoor cafe near Zoetrope, entirely dressed like...the crew from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Cool!
