Not that the popper calories counted (see clown from the last entry)
Still considering the possibility it wasn't their fault because
I love them too much |
Sunday

| Olive Garden: Stuffed Rigatoni with Chicken |
Yes, I know I was just at the OG last week. I pretty much go there every Sunday because, for some reason, my family loves it too much to go anywhere else. I can think of at least 3 better Italian joints (let alone restaurants in general) within a 2 mile radius. Oh well, I'm almost always out-voted, and the creatures of habit get their way.
Had a few of these as well...
...and one of these...

I still really love eggnog, even after Dave Attell
revealed what it REALLY is made from. Had 3 glasses
Monday. |
If you insist on looking up Dave Attell's take on what eggnog is, I can NOT be held responsible. Keep in mind the comedy album was called "Skanks for the Memories." Also, keep in mind that it's Dave Attell.
In addition to the usual occasional beer I also have been drinking a lot of wine lately. Had 3 glasses between dinner (where I made some real good, real low cal eggplant parm.) and reading time.

Hey, those left-over boxes of wedding
wine aren't going to drink themselves... |
Out of curiosity, I had to see what the deal was with these Flint-style vegan Coney Dogs at the new "Vegan Soul Hut" place. Interestingly enough that venture has merged with a regular barbecue and full on meat place, and they seem to get along fine. Tried two of the regular ones, and one of the vegan ones. Honestly, with whatever they're putting in the sauce and how spicy it is, I couldn't tell much of a difference.

Wednesday
I barely ate anything Wednesday, and then ran on top of it. When I finally got home "dinner" was just some cornbread (the good way with the creamed corn and all) and coffee spiked with some irish cream.
Thursday
I was doing just fine until Jessi showed up with her father and they wanted me to go to
We got our usual green pepper/red onion deep dish.
 |
| Swerved all over "Wing Street" too |
Also had my first Steel Reserve 211 in 10+ years. I haven't had one since I was a broke college kid and they had them for 87¢ out-the-door. Some things should remain in the past.
Friday
Left-over pizza, more wine, more nog.
Bonus F
Fozzie Bear
I'm excited about the Muppet Movie coming out next week. I'm happy that they continue to thrive today, in an environment where decent entertainment is hard to come by. The best thing is, they can be around forever. Puppets don't have to ever age or die. The Muppets can be around as long as we love them. Who wants to see an old Fozzie Bear still trying to make it as a comedian or even as a successful one that loses his edge and does horrible movies for years on end (e.g. Eddie Murphy or Adam Sandler)? Nobody wants to see Fozzie mature or get old. It would be sad watching him all old and wobbly in his Wakka Wakka Walker.
