Day 35/365: Lady Lunch Land

Day 35/365: Lady Lunch Land

I met up with Amy Friday for lunch at Flight, which brought the concept of crawfish mac ‘n’ cheese into my life. I’m no seafood fan, so I was full of trepidation, but I made the leap and HOLY GOD that shit is good. Score one for the mudbugs.

It was nice having an actual lunch at actual lunch time, with an actual human friend! I don’t get out a lot before noon, can you tell?

Day 117: Ladies Who Lunch With Luke

Day 117: Ladies Who Lunch With Luke

I was able to get away from work (on my off day!) for long enough to have lunch with Ashley and Luke, and crack up repeatedly as he spit out every other bite of his food into Ashley’s skilled, lightning-quick hands.

Look at that boy. He knows he’s got everybody on a short leash.

Day 72: Laugh Out Loud Cats

Day 72 —Laugh Out Loud Cats

I don’t know how I managed to go my entire tenure in Memphis without eating at La Guadalupana on Summer, but I remedied that Friday at MadMolecule‘s suggestion. I really, really hope he doesn’t mind me quoting him, but his description of the place is spot-on: “Fresh, handmade, delicious Mexican food with all the charm and ambience of a laundromat?” And it’s true — it was awesome.

I had the cheese enchiladas in that ridiculous(ly awesome) green sauce, and he had the super-dooper nachos with chicken beans (yeah, really, or so said the incredibly deep menu, which also included goat tacos and cornish hen burritos or something amazing like that) and I got to leave the place with that sweet-ass comic panel you see up there, which MM won from the internet in a battle of wit.

Day 59: Baby Brother

Day 59: Baby Brother

Evan and his girlfriend Charlotte were in town today so we had lunch at Central BBQ. I goaded him into trying the barbecue chicken nachos. He wrecked his plate quite thoroughly (those damn things are tasty) and then proclaimed that he’d had so much to eat that, later, he’d probably be able to “shit through a screen and never hit a wire.” Which is now officially my favorite thing to say, ever.

Day 7: Prophesy

Day 7: Prophesy

Met up with @fancycwabs for lunch today at Lobster King, continuing my quest to de-weirdify Asian food to my palate. Had the cashew chicken and the hot and sour soup. It was great. I ate tofu, y’all. TOFU. Well, a little. Like, maybe a tablespoon or so. Still not sold.

This is the fortune I got. I want very badly to believe that there is some big cosmic meaning behind the usage of “prophesy” instead of “prophecy,” but the fact of the matter is that it’s a lame semantic error in a lame fortune. You can’t even add “in bed” to the end of it.
