All of this talk of food!

I'm shameless with my love of Chinese food. Shame-Less.

After you first move in to an apt/house, you reconoiter. Yeah? What's the best freeway access (St. Anthony Pkwy to University or Lowry to 2nd to Dowling to 94), where are the gro-gro stores? (Cub-alicious over in the new S.A.V or the Quarry-bow.) Liquor stores? (S.A.V. is the cheapest in the 'hood, but there is a Municipal LQ over on 44th and Central that's open 'til 10pm most nights, but they are a little pricier) Where are the local coffee shops? (Non-chain. Keep it local, yo. Audubon, Urban Harlot, and Columbia Grounds are my beeeeeeetches)

Another dealio is finding the local Chinese restaurant. More specifically, the Chinese buffet.

I've done this just about every place I've lived. Uptown's always been pretty easy (Fresh Wok, Old China Buffet), same w/BeeP's...heck, even out in Medorable ND, we'd head out to Dickinson for some bomb diggety buffet. Moving back to Nordeast Mipples...there was only one choice: Le Grande' Dragon. Yumster Buffet. Awesome Take Out...& since I haven't eaten there in mooooonths, I'm fiendishly desiring the health-o-licious (And carb-friendly, MD) Steamed Chicken w/Mixed veggies. No MSG. Hay-ven.

Dorajar is coming over tonight for these vittles. If she doesn't like it as much as I do, it'll say a lot about how food-obsessed and excitable I can truly get. You're a weird one, Mr. P.


You know. "Taking it easy on my body", on days where it gets past 40 degree's? Feels almost criminal.

Joy Luck Chinese Restaurant- 4201 Webber Parkway in N Mipples (Of of Lyndale between Webber and 42nd) Close to you. They pretty much have the same menu as Fresh Wok and Great Dragon. (No MSG's!) You might get a menu in your local neighborhood newspaper. (I did, just today. How providential is that?)

Melinite. I always step peacefully on the earth. I'm a ninja. It's how I stalk. ; ) (Thanks for the advice)

I do believe Joy Luck is the one I ate at and was violently ill the following day. It may or may not have been the food... but, in my mind, there is an association with the food... so, um, no more Joy Luck for me.
