Olive oil haiku
Sometimes these haikus just write themselves. This past week I saw Robyn talk about gelato at Otto and I remembered how awesome the olive oil gelato was, and poof! Haiku! The only problem was that at first I just did another 5-7-4 haiku and had to retake the picture. Seriously folks, sometimes I feel really retarded. Like, give me an adult diaper kind of retarded. Wait, is that politically incorrect? Oh well.
The picture above is beef filet in chili oil and the picture on the bottom is braised pork with chestnuts and spinach in brown sauce. Both are from Grand Sichuan in Chinatown. I just thought it would be nice filler about dinner from this past weekend.
One last note about the weekend... so Patrick, Ming, and I were on our way home after some buffalo wings and Ming started to talk about his dream girl. He loves comic books, and naturally his descriptions included some comic booky characteristics. What characteristics you ask?! I actually cannot tell you because he would probably punch me if I listed it. Safe to say that it included big round eyes and a penchant for saying, "Yatta!" for no good reason. Do they make women like that in the U.S. or is that only overseas?
So I am thinking, maybe what Ming needs is a female version of Hiro Nakamura who likes comic books?
(I invite you to follow me on Twitter so you can get more of my non-sense in another medium.)
"Yatta!" that's too funny I have no words...

Maybe that, or like a pink totoro.

I REALLY need to try olive oil gelato one of these days. It's so intriguing!
