So what’s for lunch?

I want fried chicken. All the Red Sox clubhouse talk made me want fried chicken yesterday. I went to the Whole Foods near my place, but they didn’t have any. My fried chicken craving has yet to be satisfied. apistat’s post at the end of the last thread doesn’t help.

These trailers are so misleading. Mila Jovovich is playing Milady. All these lines refer to D’Artagnan.
Anything to get people into the theater I guess.
I rhyme with freak.
So did they replace the D’Artagnan character with a gurl, expanded another role? Like they added stoopit Arwen into LotR? Or what? I haven’t read the book in like 20 some years so just cuz it seems wrong to me, maybe I dun fergot something.

I recently found a BBQ joint relatively nearby that’s supposed to be good.

But I figure a place that often closes early because it runs out of food can’t suck too bad. And any place that spends 15 hours on their brisket deserves a shot.

It’s going to take some nit-noodle doing the wave and getting hit by a foul ball or a Ross’d bat and getting seriously injured before people realize it’s not a smart thing to do at a baseball game.

For some reason
I could perfectly accept it at a football game. Maybe it’s because I think baseball is somehow above football. Also, if you’re doing the wave and a foul ball is hit at you, you are more likely to see it and block/catch it. THEY’RE DOING IT FOR THEIR SAFETY

When the Coliseum was open, like it was back then, it was a much nicer place to go to a game. I tried going to a game a few years ago and it felt claustrophobic. Maybe because I remember being able to look out and see the Oakland Hills….

I hate having to do that. I live alone, so it’s hard for me to buy a perishable product and not have at least some of it go bad.

It’s one of the reasons I hate cooking for myself. I don’t want to eat 4 lbs of the same thing, and cooking less than that seems like a waste.

That’s the situation I face every time I make a casserole. I can count on having that casserole for lunch and dinner every day for a week. Oh, well.

This was a little of that scenario, coupled with Mr. Merope usually takes a lunch to work, and has a salad for dinner but he was sick this past week… so there was all that bad produce…and once I got in there I started wondering what else? Who knew horse radish or maple syrup went bad?
