Food...

I'm thinking that after having been a "nibbles goody two-shoes" for the run of the show, I'm fixing to get some naughty vittles as a treat.

Hmmmm...this makes me wonder, whut, exactly, I should nosh?

The 1st place my brain went, was 'za. I haven't had Luce' 'za in ages (Ooooo, Greek). Or Uptown pizza...(Their "Florentine Pizza" is the bomb. Pesto Tomato sauce, garlic, broccoli, and spinach. wOOt!) Or find a Little Caesars somewhere. Something about the stupid little bubbles that form on their pizza make it so frassin' good.

And THEN there is the all mighty Boo-Fay. I hurt myself a few weeks back at the Indian Buffet, I've still been checking out the boo-too choices in my 'hood. Crescent Moon or Holy Land for Middle Eastern? One of the massive Chinese "Buffet-o-ganza's"located out in the 'burbs? My folks have swore by, wait for it: Shangrila. I spelled it right...not "Shangri-La"... My dad tells me that they have boo-too fresh seafood protein choices. Salmon, Lobster, Crab, Mussels, Octopus, sushi (Ooooo, could I attempt eating my weight in sashimi?)...He emphasized fresh. For all that boasting, it's worth a trip out to the sticks I'd wager.)

I could take a half-day and hit El Meson for Carribean? (And, use my coupon dealio for their 1/2 price bottle of wine, spend the day kibbitzing around Uptown, then hit Sebastard Joe's for some cone-age...

While I'm ravenous, how's about I just start my day with a b-k-f-s-t buffet? Famous Dav-Naw. Scratch that honkiness. Campiello? Or just hold off for a few weeks and see if I can get the whole fam damnily out to the Nicollet Island Inn for brunch. (Madre' dios...you haven't lived until you've tried their brunch. Oof.) Or take big brother (sorry Moses) Melinite and her hub-hub back to gorge ourselves on Dim Sum? That eel still haunts me.

Q-cumbers has been a pretty hot ticket. Mostly vegetarian. Situated neatly next to an arcade.

Or just go back to Buca and...frassin' mow on eggplant parmesan, lemon chicken, garlic bread and mashies?


Ohhhhh, how I fixate. Whaddya'll think, cutie pies?


* In case yer wondering...to my other fitness/diet minded individuals, here's your fitness tip for the day:
No. It isn't healthy to adhere to so strict a diet that you completely and forever avoid sweets/fats/no or low-carbs/alcohol...You've got to fool the body. Bodybuilders who've been starving and dieting pre-contest will, a day or two before competing, hit a Baskin Robbins to eat a gallon of Ice Cream. It causes your body to say "What the Fuck!?!?!" And send it into overdrive (Metabolism starts firing hard to compete with the influx of calories/sugars/salts etc...) The same goes for exercise. If you have specific weight goals, don't stick with one or two exercises forever and a day. Fool your body. Go for a 13 mile bike ride instead of a 3.5 mile jog. Do pull ups, instead of pull downs...Fool the body.


Back to food. Can you tell I'm excited about this?

Mmmmm....Little Caesar's....
There's a fairly new one on University in Midway. They have $5 hot-n-ready pizzas...so good. Unfortunately they are too easy and too close.
In fact, I am noshing on one right now, and it's mighty tasty.

I can't be the only one who loves the little "dough blisters" that rise on their pizza?

Makes 'em seem more, I don't know...human?


Superman Returns has bumped it's opening 2 days...alert the media

Just list the date and time, and we are there, my friend! Have you thought about going out after the fundraiser? We'll see you there.

:) Glad you're well!

ysrmjndb: yes, sir, 'magine dab

Instead of Buca, you could get some decent Italian, (ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT as compared to simply large portions), at Maggiano's in Southdale. Get a group together and I'm in. Envision a Rodizio where they keep bringing you meat until you beg for them to stop. Well, it's like that only with Italian Goodness.

Or you could come down my way and hit Sul Lago in DownTown PL. Little spendy, but IMHO the Best Damn Italian in town. Better than Buona Sera.

I had Maggiano's a couple of years ago and it was purty good. (I di'n't know they had all-you-can eat! We should hit that on our dinner break b4 the show on Saturday!) Perron's Sul Lago seems like a hot ticket. (For the curious: http://www.mspmag.com/feature.asp?featureid=3179) I liked the comment about the 100 yard stare the food is given by suburbanites with an Olive Garden palate.

Maybe Godfather's still has their pizza buffet?

Screw it. I'm gonna 86 the buffet and go the fine dining route. Try something I've never tried...like panda, or dolphin...

The great and powerful OZMAV!

(RSvP-We need to go to dim sum brunch. They serve eel.)
