Quantity Sometimes Beats Quality


I went out last night and enjoyed a few drinks. This morning/afternoon I regretted that decision. Luckily some genius invented the #3 at White Castle: 2 fries, 2 cokes, 10 sliders with cheese. This meal may have been invented for two people, but I beg to differ.

8 sliders later I suddenly felt amazing. I am a huge fan of good quality slow food but every now and then you have to give into the sack attack.

A good omen

After a strong start, work and school stepped in to slow things down a bit in here in the past couple of weeks. Don't worry, that will change this weekend as Erin and I are headed to New Hampshire for a bit of work and a bit of play. We're staying with Karl, so I can guarantee some great material will come out of the visit. Already, we have the Killington Brewfest on the calendar for tomorrow afternoon, and I'm sure we'll make a pit stop at Lou's in Hanover - I'll make sure Karl orders the cruller french toast.

Though that start's tomorrow, I knew it was a good sign when I walked out of my office building and saw this:


Street food! I instantly went into over drive. "Seriously?!", "YES", "The UN was bad enough for traffic, now this?!", "YES". Apparently they decided to randomly close down a block of 43rd street for a street fair today. The timing couldn't have been better:
  • My sister had just been encouraging me to give my thoughts on the street food scene (I think we're both partial to the chicken and rice guys - the corner of 53rd and 6th has a very good one)
  • I missed the Vendy Awards
  • It's Friday, so no matter what I eat, it's likely I won't have to miss work as a result
 With that I dove into one of these tasty kabobs and some pita to clean up the mess. All in all, a good lunch and great start to the weekend. Let's hope I don't pay for it later.
