Dine Out For Life
I just realized that today is Dine Out For Life: a day we celebrate rifts in the time/space continuum in which we are stuck waiting for a table for the duration of eternity.
A percentage of the bill is donated by the restaurant to HIV/AIDS charity and many restaurants have specials and all that.
I was thinking maybe eating at Mode or Cecelia's? But a complete list of restaurants can be found here. Suggestions are always welcome.
How does 7:30 sound?
kisses,
-James

Election Sensation
Last night i got about three hours worth of sleep because I kept having nightmares about the petitions. An election district was mislabeled, the school subdistrict was left blank, the addresses were invalid. One nightmare after another, waking up in a sweat each time.
I can deal with the lack of sleep, but the anxiety over this process just drains me. Unshaven, my hair a mess, and bags under my eyes big enough to hide a couch, my boss let me go home early so I could catch up on lost sleep.
Little does he know that zombie James or not I am going to be kickin' it at Bistro Europa tonight with you all. As draining as the process is I always feel like celebrating when it is done, even if I haven't slept in a week or can remember the last time I did laundry (which, thankfully, neither happened this time around, but the summer political season is just a few months away!).
Can't wait to see you all there tonight.
Bring Cash. They don't take cards and neither do I if you want a lap dance.

Birthday Party Reminder
Hope to see you all tomorrow at Jim's party. Just a reminder, Bistro Europa is cash only, so bring some paper because they don't take plastic.
Love you kittens,
-James

Kumquat Simple Syrup
So tonight, around 8:30 I get hungry and go into the kitchen to do something about that. Two hours later I have made borscht, broiled some frozen smelt, and made a kumquat simple syrup.
(e:tinypliny) wrote about delicious kumquats at PriceRite. I couldn't resist. They are such a delicious and underrated fruit. So, I chop them up, squash them under a chef's knife, and drop them into water. I let them boil for a few minutes, then add sugar and simmer for two minutes.
Best part, after I strained the syrup to take out the kumquat rind. So now, as a product, I have candied kumquats! I put them in the fridge and they are delicious.
So, now I have kumquat flavored syrup for making cocktails or toping a dessert. The sweet citrusy flavor is in there, but the sugar killed the tartness I love so much. Tomorrow, if I am productive, I will mix something up and give a big toast to Pliny.
Cheers!

Infused Vodka
I told the good folks in my office that I started this two weeks ago. And I should have, I had the bacon in the fridge. But I didn't have a handle of vodka and just saying I had started it was sure to get me to actually do it. Now that the confession is out of the way...
Let me confess something else. I hate vodka. I mean, the flavor is alright and it mixes well. But it is such a pedestrian liquor. Now I am done confessing...
What happens when you have this
and you add this
why, you get this
and this
so I am infusing Vodka with a vanilla bean in one jar and bacon and pepper in another. Three weeks in the dark cupboard until it is ready. Expect a future post.

PriceRite
FOR $3.98!
The place was so crowded I couldn't even check out the aisles, just the produce, meat, dairy perimeter.
Oh, and I just ate crabs I got there for $4. And I am not talking about the ones I got from the checkout clerk. HEY-OH!!!!
Seriously, that place is crazy awesome.

Stabbings on Elmwood
Two people were stabbed and were treated at the hospital. But what was up with that branch?
Besides the pair of stabbings, Howard and Grayson were also charged with smashing the windshield of a woman's vehicle at 400 Elmwood and threatening her with a 5-inch steak knife.
I also saw an officer questioning the poor Wilson Farms clerk, from whom they got this hilarious bit of imagery.
They also face charges for fighting with each other around a nearby Wilson Farms store before entering the store and spraying blood all over Slim Jim products inside, police report stated.
Magic.
