you can almost hear the sucking sound. that's the sound of rachel sucking the fun out of a light-hearted and humorous post.

but we could always use more. i'm not sure that only one person will be enough. we'll probably need an awful lot.

i don't know if i should feel better about it.

it opens at 2!?!? and i got there at 3 and pie gone?

you're looking at it. word of mouth.

ah. it's like that one chicken mcnugget that's all gnarly and greasy. i usually just chuck that one.

the pig, if i'm understanding correctly, will actually be smoked, rather than roasted.

i can't help but notice that one of my steaks looks different than the others.

who's doing nametags.

not curious at all? i mean, it is a part of food culture afterall. why deny oneself the experience?

sure, but how many times? i recently stopped at a Roy Rogers on the turnpike (around new brunswick i think...on my way to baltimore. that's as far as i got before i had to eat, sad to say). it wasn't all that good, but it was nice to see the Fixin's Bar, just like when i was in high school. quite exciting indeed.

rosie, take those long legs of yours down bloomfield ave into bloomfield. you'll see signs for lackawanna on your right. not sure what street it is, but i think you take a right onto washington or glenwood. again, there will be signs for the train station. rail paul probably has better directions, as he knows something about everything.

i couldn't figure out who i was more embarrassed for. she *did* save him a few times, though. what the fuck is she on? how could jay's people let her out like that?

get to the bit about stopping drinking. i mean, you're not mating with the hawks, are you?

it's number 2 on the list!

suzi. huh? what did i miss!

you'll recognize Rosie immediately. she's a tall quiet one.

i love it. i can see your lovely wife rolling her eyes right now.

the water in NOLA feels like oil flowing over you when you're taking a shower. i don't think i bothered to taste it after that!

fresh muzz, basil, balsamic. salami. big chunk of italian bread. sangiovese. easy clean up.

my friend's mom puts mothballs in here shrubs to keep the cats from spraying them. not sure if this works for slugs, skunks, or rabbits for that matter. and the mothballs make the whole yard smell like my aunt's basement. just a thought. probably a bad idea. nevermind.

here's an even better one. edit: damn, you'd have to add this one too. damn Stone posting about smoking in the General forum.

i'd like to remind everyone to preface their notes with "TWTN:" in order to conform with egullet standards. regards, tommy

brining.

best: NYC, and where i live now. worst: philly. sorry guys. i should note that i always thought hoboken water was great, and i drank it for about 15 years. but after i started drinking bottled water i realized that it had a bit more flavor than i thought. still good when filtered though.
