The Trinidadian restaurant downstairs from me does roti. I could have goat roti and a double-double for dinner. (I don't know if the double-double is an actual thing or something this woman made up - it's like a littl roti sandwich with chickpeas and tamarind in the middle. I ate so many of those when I was home with Dylan on maternity leave.)
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That sounds made-up but good. I mean, unless it's just chole, but it seems like it's not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just have to share that I am currently sitting on a folding chair, with both a cat and a laptop on my lap. This cannot last. God willing, I'm getting a sofa this weekend. Do non-Ikea furniture stores let you walk out the door with a sofa right then?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Luckily, after this discussion, KBD cooked up some yummy chicken fajita thingies. ::burp::
Now, NCIS and then Castle.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That sounds pretty much like a recipe called Doubles in Madhur Jafrey's World Vegetarian cookbook. The cookbook said it was street food from somewhere, but I can't remember where.

According to Serious Eats, a double is an actual Trinidadian street food:
They are seriously nom nom nom.

ION, I have coughed myself into a splitting headache. I hate colds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Haven't eaten much Caribbean food that's not Jamaican--we admit to haven stolen roti, pretty much, but the rest is all our own, honest. The idea of tamarind is interesting. We don't cook with it that much, although I could eat it all day in tamarind balls. Perhaps it's best had with sugar and not with chickpeas (ick).
Perkins--watching Criminal Minds tonight? Looks like eye squick. I'm going to have to not watch those precise bits.

Trust my rage
Can I ask a dumb baseball question? Why is the bullpen not connected to the regular dugout? I would think the pitchers would feel sort of lonely/left out of the team. Because they sit with the rest of the team when they are pitching, right?
