It's gorgeous today, but looking at the 7-day forecast, they're predicting a lot of rain--big surprise, I know (we're having the rainiest spring since 1921, and so far we're at #10 on the rainiest springs ever list).
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Can anyone throw me some recommendations in the way of vegetarian/vegan restaurants? She's something of a foodie, but any favorites would be great to know about.
I'm a fan of Herbivore. And although I've never been there, there's always Cafe Gratitude.

Cafe Gratitude scares me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
DH is away until very late on Saturday, so there is dog walking, house cleaning and gardening to do. Then a movie on Saturday night. This should not be too bad, since one of our dogs had evidence of fleas when she went to the vet, so this week I washed EVERYTHING. And sprayed and vacuumed everything else.

Just realized I didn't explain quite why Cafe Gratitude scares me. This is their menu: [link] It's fairly typical for a vegan restaurant menu, actually a pretty good selection, but every dish, rather than being named something normal like "Caesar salad," gets a name like "I am dazzling." And you must order by saying, "I am dazzling," and then the server repeats back to you, "You are dazzling."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Ewwwww. Cutesy concepts that you're required to play along with are a NO in restaurant service. Or any other kind of customer service.

Our wings are not tired.
Hil, totally. I went to the one in the Sunset when my cousins were visiting and was commpletely creeped out with the names and that schtick. But then, I loathe forced gaiety.

Even their kids menu is stuff like "I am a winner" and "I am a star." (And looking at the actual food on their menu more closely, it's a lot more raw food than I'd noticed before.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Not to mention gramatically unsound. The name of the item is "I am dazzling," not "you are dazzling."
