It's actually the end if a nitrate free hotdog, but damn if it doesn't have lorena bobbit writen all over it.

I did not buy the grapples. Who buys artifically grape flavored real
apples? Do they taste like grape aid?

And what are goldenberries?
I bought them. We will se how tasty they ate and if I am allergic
or not.

What this was about?

This is a pretty bold statement. I wonder what all the stipulations
are?

My one eye is red. I hope it's just irritated and not pink eye. On
another note, I know I don't clean the sink traps enough but this one
actually has a plant growing in it.

I finally got sick. This is the first time I got sick this year, so on one hand it's awesome. On the other hand it sucks because I am sick. It was fine this morning and it just kept getting worse. Hopefully, it's not pig fever...

We went to betty's for brunch and they had chocolate mint oolong tea
that was so delicious. Especially, when paired with sugar in the raw.

I was reading the news earlier about this guy who died in a cave after being stuck for 24 hours on thanksgiving. I feel bad for his family, etc but I can't help but wonder what the heck he was doing as a 6' 190 lb man in a 10" by 18" chute with a turn. The cave has multiple areas where you can inch along by squeezing your body through tubes that do not really fit humans very well. One of them is over 100'feet long.

This is the official website of the cave called nutty putty.

Here is the PDF map of the "trail"

The story is so sad. I can't imagine being trapped for so long, being pulled up 12 feet and then falling back into the rut.





Instead of getting him out they are talking about just sealing the cave off with the body inside.

They are so pretty. Why do they have to be so difficult to eat? I
almost put it in the cranberry sauce.



This year my cranberry sauce came out tasting just like cherry pie filling, WTF?

Apparently, cranberry + apple cider + ginger + cinnamon stick + orange zest + sugar = cherry pie filling flavor.Last night we went to soundlab for the knowmatic tribe show. It was difficult to dance because it was crowded and my musical taste has evolved. I am pretty sure I never want to hear a daft punk remix again. I also spent like two hours trying to get my printer, to print the damn tickets. Turns out they just needed my name.

One awesome thing was the Video playing in the background about an octopus with a squash friend. Turned out to be a japanese show called kure kure takora (e:Mike) and I remarked that would be a tasty combo and when searching octopus with squash friend I Found this recipe that ties this whole Journal together. Crispy octopus with Squash and pomegranite seeds



After that (e:Mike) was no longer satisfied with the wine/Beer only bar so we headed back to Allentown and met up with Malibu and Johnny. For once I had a lot of fun at Cathode. Then we hit the ETS drivethru and I got a yummy beef taco and laughed till my face hurt. The nights I go out with my brother are always the most fun.

UPDATE: I decided to just post the whole recipe here in case it goes away:

Last month I went there for lunch and had really, really bad tasting
chicken. i didn't write about it because I thought it might just be a
fluke. Not the spices in it, it was the chicken itself. Then today,
after a long boycott (e:enknot) convinced me to go back as Panaro's was
closed because we were so late.

I wasn't paying total attention to the chicken schwarma I was eating
when I realized it was chewier than cooked chicken should be. I wiped
it off and it was tottally, 100%, no excuses, fucking pink and raw.

I am so nervous that I will get sick tonight. One thing I know for
sure is that I will never, ever again eat there and will gladly tell
everyone I know about my experience. The first time was crazy enough,
but today was ridiculous.
