Lunch, Anybody?

[Harp]

Pad Thai - meh...

I'll never understand the allure of Thai food.

...it's the allure of Thai women.

Chocolate chip cookies, diet Coke, and digesting some thoroughbred handicap data-Baffert has horses running at Los Alamitos tomorrow.

Pad Thai - meh...

I'll never understand the allure of Thai food. It's just Chinese food that wants to be Indian.

I respect how you feel about it as this is all taste / opinions, but IMHO Thai - done well - is lighter and simpler in taste and feel than most Chinese food (basing this on US restaurants, not food in the actual countries).

Most Chinese food (again, in the US) is too heavy and has too many ingredients, IMHO; Thai food is lighter and I can recognize what I am eating.

That said, I've been to different Thai and Chinese restaurants in different parts of the country and the experience is so varied, that what I'm saying might not be at all reflective of your experience. Even in NYC, the experiences vary greatly.

Leftover homemade chicken tortilla soup. Much spicier overnight! My lips are tingly.

I have had many a chocolate chip cookie and diet coke meal - fueled me through many a trading day and, before that, many a days at college.

Baffert's horses are ones I alway pay attention to. (Plus, the guy looks scripted out of central casting to be a West Coast, high-profile-race trainer.)

Baffert has two entries at Los Alamitos' Cash Call Futurity tomorrow: Mastery and Show Me Da Lute. A trainer whose rep is solid.

Canned fire-stew (kidney beans...). Yum!

Crunchy Cheetoes and Sprite Zero; U of Penn's Daily Pennsylvanian. Students removed a portrait of William Shakespeare off the walls of the English Department.

-What fools these mortals be-

I would think English students would be Shakespeare fans - as an English minor, I know I was and am.

Had Sprite Zero myself today, but with bread and butter for lunch.

I would think English students would be Shakespeare fans -

Ditto. Henry's speech at Agincourt is worth all.

fire-stew

That's a more apt name than chili (chilly )

 

[Bigger Don]

internet scrambling for news on a Notre Dame football coach's probable exit.

Hope you mean Brian "Scum of the Earth" Kelly....not that I have an opinion on the matter.

 

[Bigger Don]

My lips are tingly.

...or so we've heard, Major O'Houlihan

Sorry. Couldn't resist. Call HR.

 

[Touchofevil]

A deli-sliced turkey, pepperjack cheese, dijon mustard, light on the mayo, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, salt and pepper sandwich on chibatta bread with honey dijon potato chips.

Kelly had ten wins last year, and the wheels just fell off this season... Never a fan, nor a foe either but I always felt his hire was a mistake.
Both Kizer and Zaire are gone-K to the NFL draft and Z transferring-hoped the Bears might have had a shot at Kizer, though it seems improbable.

Was a fan, until he decided to leave Cincinnati in the lurch. I've yet to hear a decent reason he needed to run off to ND so quickly. I think he was afraid of the competition so he just screwed over the Bearcats to avoid a lopsided loss on his record.

I think he was afraid of the competition so he just screwed over the Bearcats to avoid a lopsided loss on his record.

That jives with the bar rep in Chicago and South Bend, with which the Declan Sullivan accidental death and the St Mary coed's suicide,
surfaced again earlier this season with his leniency toward several players involved with police issues. Kelly seemed oddly apathetic.

 

[Trenchfriend]

Cold weather, but sun.

And selfmade milkrice(pudding) with sugar and cinnamon, YUMM!!

 

[Bushman]

A salami sandwich with chips, a banana, and a Coke.

 

[Trenchfriend]

I'm looking forward to yummy fried potatoes with pommes-spicing.
