Dirty Dog cont'd

Okay, I know this Anthony Weiner's wiener business is being beaten to death, but I have two more cents to add to my previous weenie post. I still haven't had that effin' hot dog yet, by the way.

Ooops! You caught me without my bun on.

Actually, these were BF's two cents and I thought they were brilliant. They happen to go very well with my business idea, too. He thinks that - should I, Mr. Weiner, or anyone ever follow through with the Weiner's Weenies hot dog/ sausage shop - there should be a special combo meal.

The "Anthony" combo: one kosher wiener sans bun, of course, and a (preferably white) Magnum*.

Genius, yes?

Honestly? Would you be too grossed out or too shy to order something like that if it were a legitimate offering at an actual place? Or would you shout out loud and proud for your wiener?




*Please note that in this case, Magnum refers to an ice cream bar, not a prophylactic device for large weenies. We're dirty, but we're not that dirty.

The Simple Joys in the Meal of Life

Hahaha! I know, I know. That title is a clunker. Apologies.

Seriously, though, I was just snacking on a bowl of instant noodle soup that really hit the spot and it struck me - no matter what other options you have available, sometimes you just want that damn bowl of instant ramen. Even after a "famous," "gourmet" burger dinner, the ramen was somehow just what I needed.

Slurpin'

...On that train of thought, the "simple" slushie treat I had today from the Kelvin Natural Slush Co. truck really hit the spot, too. Natural, grown-up flavored slush? Yes, please! I wish that there were more Kelvin trucks around. (Ahem! Queens!) My ginger slush with white peach puree mixed in was far more refreshing and satisfying than the milkshake I had with dinner. Kelvin may have convinced me that slush should be my summer treat of choice. [However, to be fair to the shakes of the world, I have to admit that I didn't think that the milkshake in question was a good representative of milkshake-kind as a whole. It was too thin and was not cold enough.]

Hey, it took a lot of frozen treat fuel to score a shot like this, okay!?

And no, your eyes did not deceive you. I did have both a milkshake and a slush in the same evening.

That's how I roll.


But don't worry, I waddled off all the calories on the Highline. Plus, I shared with BF.

Hmm... so I didn't even end up having a pre-rapture dessert after my pre-rapture dinner on Friday. Shame on me! I could have died without a last embrace of chocolate on my lips. I did have a nice sushi dinner with my main squeeze, at least.

What a morbid subject, but it really is fascinating to try and decide what my last meal would be. I think I'd die before I could decide. I'm terribly indecisive. This may sound really jaded, but I don't even know if I've yet eaten anything "worthy" of being my last meal. I'm not hesitant or scared of dying, I don't feel my life has been boring or that I haven't experienced enough. However, when it comes down to the idea of having to eat only one more meal I start to feel my life hasn't truly begun. Weird, huh? I suppose it's all in the details. If we look at any dish too closely then it seems it could use another dash of salt or pepper, right?

Today, post-rapture, I've been a busy culinary beaver. I cooked up some pasta topped with chicken sausages and a plum tomato sauce for dinner. Then, I steamed some chorizo tamales for mañana. Been on a real Mexican comfort food jaunt recently.

What cuisine are you into at the moment?

Hello World!

Let the record show, if this blog ends up well (in other words with it's author rich and famous), then I have my lovely gentleman friend and Yelp to thank...

You see, after BF noticed that my reviews were featured for a couple of weeks straight in the Yelp newsletter, he joked that I should be some sort of critic. This blog is my reaction. So if it turns out that this sucks down the road, you can blame him.

I've "blogged" before, but only angsty personal stuff as a wee high-schooler. Since I'm no longer a silly school girl, I'm going to try to focus this blog loosely on food and "lifestyle" posts. I'll try and keep weepy, love-sick drama to a minimum. Except maybe when it comes to sweets and potatoes. ...Mmmm. (Okay, okay! Yes, I am still silly, but I'm not lying about being done with school!)

Here goes nuffin' y'all...
