Random soup
Are you familiar with the phrase, "Comfortably bad?" No, of course you have not because I just made it up. See, I am trying to help you get a better understanding of why I eat the crap that I cook even if it does not taste good. On one hand, wasting is such a shame. And along with my friends Eric and Jei, we used to have this rule of always finishing our food in college, because we were poor, and because what would a starving kid in Africa say about these rich Americans throwing food away?! FOOD! (I understand that line of thinking might offend some people, but that is too bad. You can leave.) So whenever I make something that turns out not to be good, these days I just tell myself that is is comfortably bad. There is something nice about eating something at home, and even if it is no good, as long as it is not super bad then it is okay.

Cafe Cello
The guy behind the counter asked me, "Do you want skin?" Am I alive? Do I like oxygen? Do I like comic cons? Or cherry blossoms? Uh, duh! Of course instead of saying that, I just nodded like an idiot and drooled on the counter, but who is counting? When I saw the post on Cafe Cello on Midtown Lunch, I knew it would be love at first bite.

Excellent Pork Chop House wins again
When you tie your happiness around one thing, it really puts everything into perspective. When you cannot have it, it suck, when you can have it, it is great. When that one thing happens to be butter or in this case, pork, then you know you can always resuscitate yourself when need be. Such was the case a few weeks ago when I wanted to feel porky, err.. happy. Excellent Pork chop house was the obvious choice.

Sunday drink
Sometimes what you need is a good drink, and by sometimes I mean for breakfast on Monday mornings. Just kidding! Sorry about being late with the haiku yesterday, but it was just one of those days. There were some notable entries on the fridge when I checked it out late Sunday, but decided to make a new one and save those for next time when I am REALLY lazy. Seriously though, can you get any lazier than doing a Sunday post on a Monday? Probably not. This past weekend I also ate a cookie. Mmm... chocolate cookie.

Joe's Ginger
After the the posts earlier this week, I had to cool down a little and take a mini-break from the pseudo-flame war that occurred. Weee. This blog is not supposed to get that serious! Obviously I cannot go eat at a Momofuku Ko everyday, but that is mostly because it is super hard to get a reservation with only a twelve seat restaurant. Most of the time I just eat in Chinatown because it is super cheap and simple. Chill, relaxing, and no drama... just how I like my women. I mean uh, dinner and blog writeups. (But you are with me, right? Right??) Joe's Ginger provides a fairly relaxing atmosphere compared to its sister restaurant, Joe's Shanghai. Often over-looked, Joe's Ginger has the same tiny soup buns or Xiao long bao and they are mighty tasty.
