It could be worse.
ReplyDeleteYou could have eaten some of that green stuff by mistake.
That's the best part! It's about the only hot stuff I can eat anymore and I just love the way it lifts the roof of my head off.
DeleteBrick is only about 10 miles from Wall.
ReplyDeleteNot even, actually. I've lived in both towns.
DeleteYou mean this post isn't actually about the brick wall between Brick and Wall?
DeleteTillerwoman is right. You take everything so literally....
DeleteSometimes a metaphor is just a metaphor.
DeleteDamn! I just had breakfast! And this won't be around for lunch!
ReplyDeleteI suppose I should expand on this post's title, although it would be fun to see where the comments led without an explanation.
ReplyDeleteI need a break from sushi. Not to say that I have it all the time, only once every two to three weeks or so. But I'm coming away feeling less and less satisfied. It seems as though the flavors that used to be so unique to each roll are now indistinguishable to me. Especially if dressed with the ubiquitous wasabi and soy sauce. Spicy mayo has overtaken
special rolls, and tobiko and fried tempura threads are everywhere.
Sushi ain't cheap. And I don't just have one roll and a cup of miso soup either. As soon as I ask whether they have uni (sea urchin roe) this evening, the server's eyes light up and the 'you might also like' list of available, top shelf sashimi is quickly rattled off: Toro,
Madai, King Salmon.....cha ching. I have no self-control.
I need a break for a while. I need a good, cheap Mexican joint, where I can bring my own cerveza, and not be worried about being upsold to a lobster burrito.
We stay away from the places that serve sushi with all the fancy mayo sauces and adulterations; we like ours as simple and with as few ingredients as possible.
DeleteI can recommend a good Irish Pub in Connecticut where you can get good cheap honest food with not a lobster burrito in sight.
DeleteBaydog, I recommend that you visit a Puruvian Chicken restaurant? AKA Pollo a la Brasa. They take whole chickens and season them with cumin, garlic, paprika and assortment of other ingredients and then they are slow roasted over a wood fire. You get your choice of potato or yucca fries and a small salad. Choose between a 1/4, 1/2 or even the el grande...1 whole chicken. Its cheep $5.00 - $12.00 depending on the size. The BYO cerveza laws may range from State to State. Its Yard Bird at its finest. If you are really daring try the native soda, Inca Gold, it tastes like bubble gum and your guaranteed a cavity with every serving.
DeleteDoug, I've had Peruvian chicken in Bethesda and boy is it good! Yucca fries rock and yes, it's pretty cheap. Good suggestion.
DeleteHad it today for lunch, 1/4 chicken (dark meat, I prefer the dark side when it comes to chicken) (2) sides, I chose the yucca fries and a salad, it came with a drink,(sans cerveza, went with a can of coke instead). Muchas Buenos and mucho cheapo!
DeleteA place for good, cheap Mexican food?
ReplyDeleteBaydog, that's why they invented California. Why do you think the conquistadores left Spain? Do you know how hard it is to find a good quesadilla in Madrid?
Here's a joke about When God Created California that I am sure O Docker will like.
DeleteYou see, I am famous.
DeleteAnd on the 8th day God Made Farmers.
DeleteAnd then there's Taka Taka, which I've noticed as I walked past in the East Village. They bill themselves as selling "Mexican sushi and Japanese tacos".

DeleteNoticed, but not patronized. Somehow the fence-sitting doesn't make me want to go in.
DeleteDomo avocado, Mr. Roboto
DeleteWelcome to the grand crustacean!
