The girl in front of me in line ordered an egg salad sandwich on toast. Her friend decided that it sounded good and said, “I’ll have what she’s having.” They paid together, then, on their way out, I heard, “How are we going to tell which one is which?”
Also, pumpkin spice lattes are [...]
First I ate dinner, a lot of it. Then we washed up a bunch of cherries and decided to try to catch up on Lost. But doooooood, I ate waaaaaay too many cherries. And now my stomach hurts so bad, and I couldn’t concentrate on Lost, and gawd, I’m a moron.
Evidently, some people are genetically predisposed to smelly pee after eating asparagus, and some people are genetically predisposed to being able to smell it.

Last Sunday, while we were wandering around Berkeley Bowl (note to self: Never go to Berkeley Bowl on a Sunday afternoon again. EVER! We spent like 30 minutes shopping and 45 minutes in line), Yut noticed someone with a box of Mango Passion cereal in their cart, which he figured I (or maybe [...]
We went to Chez Panisse for dinner today. Or I suppose it’s yesterday now. We weren’t able to get reservations for the first seating at 6pm so we had reservations for 9:15pm. But that meant that we didn’t get out from dinner until after 11pm, which, youch! This is the second [...]
I realize that it’s been a while since I wrote a post wherein I pretend like I’m some kind of gourmand and food reviewer, when really, it’s more just that I’m a glutton. I don’t know, it’s a mood thing. But anyway! I’m rectifying that now.
On Saturday we went to Citizen Thai [...]
