Two quails and a shephards pie
Category: food
(e:tinypliny) and I went Betty's for dinner the other night. We sat outside and were so into our conversation that when we finally looked inside we realized the chairs were up. (e:tinypliny) proceded to steal the linens and we left. Half way down the block she realized she had the napkin in her hand so we went back to return it.

The food was quite delicious. I had two quail and tiny had the veggie shephards pie.

That pie is like a wetter version of the Indian Tikki: :::link:::

It was so tasty!

I have a hidden trait of kleptomania. Who knew.

I am going to try making that pie someday. Only, it has a ton of potatoes that I am not very enthusiastic about. Maybe I could substitute all of the potatoes with chickpea flour and tofu.

The maple blight
The maple tree disease is so bad right now. Every tree around is infected. I wonder if they can even collect enough energy for the winter or if we will have streets lined with dead trees in a year or two. Its so bad on streets where they are all maple.

Its scary... I didn't think about trees survive through the winter. I guess I am still unused to the concept of fall. Back home all trees are deciduous. I don't know if people notice these kind of things consciously (well, everyone except you!). Buffalo News ought to run a feature on this - do you know anyone there? Are there letters to the editor columns that you can send these photos to?

Its like every maple tree in buffalo.

Why don't you phone the city? Do they have a department for green zones? They must... Who takes care of these trees, the municipality?

Work Is Eating My Life
Category: work
It is really time for me to be paid more or just get a different job. I just stopped working for Wednesday and its already Thursday at 4am.

Sorry for completing derailing you yesterday... :/ I am going to consciously try and avoid dragging you into time-wasting strategies from now on.
paul - 07/21/11 10:19
I finished at 6:37am. I am getting ready to go back now.

That tree is creepy looking. If they were aiming for "dream-like", they totally reached a "nightmarish".
metalpeter - 07/18/11 18:14
How did they get that tree to be red that is so spooky and cool...
