And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

I am ordering the pizza, and a greek salad.

I am disturbed that the website asks me the kind of dressing I want on my greek salad.

Um? Greek?

Of course the lunch cart nearest to me has Greek Salad, but no Greek dressing, which is also weird. (they only have Italian, Raspberry Vinaigrette, Ranch and Thousand Island?)

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

Incidentally, I have now had my One True Pulled Pork sandwich which was so much better than any other variation I tried that I'm afraid I've spoiled myself.

It's at a cafe/bakery in Oakland named Barkada and they make their own coffee-rubbed pulled pork, and serve it on their own (exceptionally good) bread.

So. Much. Flavor. I think one of the chef owners happened to make my particular order that day. I've been dreaming about it but haven't been back in that neighborhood for about 9 months.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I say yes to the muffaletta pizza! And now I'm giving my turkey wrap the side-eye because it is not a muffaletta pizza.

coffee-rubbed pulled pork

Oh my lord. That sounds fantastic.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm with Steph, coffee-rubbed pulled pork sounds fantastic. My mom used to make a roast leg of lamb that was marinated in very strong coffee and then coated in a salt and pepper rub. It was amazing. I should try it sometime, but I'm worried that I'll put in a huge effort and then my kids will both turn up their nose at it.

So I had to keep Isaac home again today since he still had a fever of 102 yesterday. That's a 4 day fever! Poor boy. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's behind us. No fever so far today.

I just got a phone call, and THEY DON'T HAVE MUFFALETTA PIZZA TODAY!!

They are sending my garlic chicken pizza. I really wanted to try it after all this thought!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I made a coffee pot roast from a 1960s Heloise recipe once and thought it was just OK.

Feel better, Isaac!

Sophia, I like that they say both bulkie (even though they spell it wrong) and Kaiser roll -- when I left New England the first time, I had to learn what other people call bulkie rolls.

What is kind of funny is around here we just call them "hard rolls"-- neither Kaiser nor Bulkie!

Poor sarameg!

I spent the morning trying to measure my "impact" which has led me to despair. A lot of what I do isn't that measurable, so I have concluded that I must suck.

But Captain Serious (for any Hawks fans) did.

Trolling Tazer is always a good time.

They are compared to hamburger buns. You used to have to pay extra for a hard roll for your burger!
