"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.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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!

But they aren't hard!

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!

You mean people would request hard buns for their burgers? This is a desired thing? I prefer not to cut my gums on my bread.
