I don't claim that. Also while moving away from SF was questionable - one can hardly fault choosing a cultural capital of the world.

Overpriced, the both of them.

I question that my life would be the same in a cheap city.

It would be less noisy and you'd have more space though. And if you lived in Alberta, you could get married.

There are always tradeoffs and who says I want to get married? (Which I can do in New York btw) :huh:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I advise him what to do.

Not that he ever listens.

Yeah but then you're over 80 years old so not for very long.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Anyone tried any of these foreign McDonald's entrees?

No, but I've had a goat's cheese salad and a beer in a Parisian branch.

When I bring a packed lunch I can't resist eating it too early. Tuna pasta pesto with sweetcorn today, at 10am.

I got McD at best for their seasonal specials, their breakfast seelction (McGriddles with nutella! Ham&Eggs Wrap! The McMuffins and breakfast burgers!). During winter we get e.g. "Hüttngaudi" which gives ski resort themes, i.e. inspired by apres ski food. Earlier this year (or last year?) they had burgers cerated by gourmet chefs. Etc.

Still prefer BK by a mile. KFC is ok-ish over here, but severely lacking in choice. I miss Popeye's. :(

They've recently added McNoodles (curry or sweat&sour) . . . because there's apparently a lack of places to buy those. :rolleyes: Next thing will probably be either McBratwurst or McDönerKebab, because there's so few of them, too.

I like basically of it, but I love big breakfasts.  :blush:

Two slices of smoked ham, bourbon sweet potatoes, and finishing off a bottle of Trader Joe's 2008 Belgian ale (18 proof). :cool:

I had soba noodles with aubergine and mango.  First time I've tried to cook an Ottolenghi recipe.  The man's a God :mmm:

Oh wow, yesterday a friend of mine prepared an entire lunch banquet themed around offal :mmm:

We had:
deep-fried veal brain with lime juice
veal sweetbreads with orange and belgian salad
steak-and-kidney pie
chopped beef kidney with mushroom and bordeaux sauce, with polenta
tagliolini in chicken liver broth
tripe, Veneto style.

Everything coupled with the right wine, ranging from chardonnay for the brain to a really excellent lagrein for the tripe.

Today - fasting, and lots of water  :blush:

I don't think I could eat any of that.  My delicate American stomach turned over just reading about it.
