and i couldn't be less interested in the details of these minor violations in particular. this stuff is useless to me. perhaps some put more stock in them.

i think this is a fantastic idea.

and where's yours?

you're going to piss stella off again. and then you know what might happen.

not overly-serious?

Hazel, but with a peculiar quality that can make them appear green, brown or blue depending on the lighting and what I am wearing. gotta love hazel.

imagine how bruce feels. good call mark. make it so.

yes of course.

maybe i missed this, but where do you put them all, and how do you keep count? i'm confused.

jason takes so long to take a picture that i had a chance to lift a chair in front of my head before he could get one off. great pie elsye. and that oatmeal cookie was a delicious treat for the ride home. it didn't even make it to the Parkway.

Who snarky? Me snarky? Rosie, i had no idea! thanks, and congrats.

that would be awesome blue. i was so wrapped up in cooking these things just right, i couldn't be bothered with a camera. my 10 oz strips turned out perfectly r-m/r. i grilled them. they could have used a *bit* more crust, but the grill just can't do that in 2 minutes on each side. good stuff.

i tip 40% when i *want* to date the waitress. as far as tipping on the pre-tax total, i just find it easier to look at the bottom line on the bill, rather than finding the pre-tax total. the difference isn't all that much, as glenn suggested.

it's one of our constitutional rights. like smoking and undertipping i'd say.

well i hope the server is working very hard for that 3 bucks.

We know that. The important--and unanswered--question is, "Why?" because threads where people get to tell others what to do and how to act are fascinating. whether it's tipping, how to order, what to eat to stay within religious guidelines, where to eat, what music to listen to, how to ride a bike...they're always a lot of fun.

i love threads like this.

any more reports on these steak dinners? also, should i trim the fat from my strip? i generally like a nicely trimmed steak, but will leave it on if it helps.

...and a bunch of kids and depressed looking people.

is Hunan Cottage BYOB?

i'll bring more. people use an insane amount of napkins.

well, if anyone else goes, tell elyse that i'm going to try to get there for pie, but can't promise. it's looking pretty good right now, though.

you are probably right. i should note that just about 100% of my fastfood consumption is done at home, in the car, on the road, in the parking lot, or at the office. never in the restaurant itself. oh heavens no.

indeed. i was very careful not to use that word. the way i see it, it's good for us, bad for him. but don't tell him that. congratulations us, with the exception of sam.
