You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Right as I was wondering if I could find some frozen dumpling that would do, I saw this on a recipe page: "There is no substitute for them." Hmph!

a chai and a cheese quesadilla

I misread this as "a chai and cheese quesadilla" and thought wow, that is an odd flavor combination.

Okay, now I might have to swing by the Polish deli this afternoon.

Now I really really want all kinds of pastries and doughnuts.

You should tell them that! Well, think it really loudly, maybe.

Oh trust, I am thinking VERY loudly how much I dislike them.

Put up a tent outside in front of the book fountain! Although you may be peed on by a homeless person.

Seems that's a danger even inside the library, no?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha, it was weird enough just drinking the tea latte together with the quesadilla. I'm pretty sure I don't want the flavors any closer together than that.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I suspect the authenticity of paczki recipe has to do with where your grandmother grew up in Poland.

Because books.

I had delicious chicken quesadillas left over the other day, and my children ate them. Savages.

I could totally go for some steamed pork dumplings, too. Or the shrimp ones. Now I'm hungry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just ate yummy pork pot stickers. Dipping sauce: Soy sauce, dijon mustard, Sriracha.

Salty goodness!

I really want some dumplings now. Maybe I should change my dinner plans.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oooh, steamed dumplings. I like this.
