My coworker just asked me if I was taking lunch. I hope he's not trying to come with me. I have stuff to actually do today.

I used to have a decent real Mexican place near me, but they closed down that strip mall. I haven't had a chance to find a non-chain place since. I tried La Salsa the other week. Their default is hella spicy.

I ate at Taco Bell a lot when I worked at a movie theater that was across the street from one. Even when you were completely out of money, there was a good chance you could find enough change while sweeping up during your shift to be able to get some dinner there.

I am probably not hungry enough, anymore, to ever be that happy to have it.

I got as far as marrying Gordon, and I could not deal with F'ing Mister Rogers or Captain Kangaroo. Mr Green Jeans, on the other hand....

I am having TJ's Paneer Tikka Masala, and I am really looking forward to it.

I had the butter chicken last night, and thought it was just OK. Kind of watery. But since I have a microwave now, I can get that kind of frozen food!

But also, I think tonight I might make a meatloaf. Does anyone know how long/high to cook them if I make meat muffins instead of a loaf?

The butter chicken isn't as good as the masalas, I thought, though still pretty okay for a cheap frozen lunch.

meat muffins

I loves meat and all, but I will never eat anything called "meat muffins."

Yeah the secret of getting a taco bell thing that fufills the craving - include a plain beef taco in your order, the one they make with ultra-cheap ground beef. Not the wrap, or ultra-crunch or bostado or tacarito or whatever neologistic special they are promoting. Include anything else you want (including more beef tacos.) But get at least one beef taco because it is horribly unhealthy but in flavor is pretty much pure essence of taco bell. If what you are craving is not essence of taco bell than go someplace decent.

TB understands the Taco Bell. As does Drew.

Shrift and aurelia, I'm booked tonight and tomorrow night. But am hoping to get together with Abi next Friday if either of you are around.

Meat muffins sounds vaguely porny.

I like this quote and so I share it. It has both science and a kind of early 20th century diction and wit that I enjoy.

The law that entropy always increases, holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation. — Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World (1927)

Don't go up against the Second Law of Thermodynamics, bitches!

It's a meat party in your mouth!
