Rotating Food

Is Sushi the only good rotating food?

Par example, could a BBQ joint be rotating?  In a BBQ joint you could rotate sides definitely, but the protein would be: first, snagged by all the customers closest to the cooks; second most likely would dry out; and finally people would probably just knock the protein from the plate vs taking the plate to be counted.  Scummy Americans.

Chinese food; this doesn't work because Chinese food is best served hot and immediately.  Could you imagine some shrimp dumplings stuck on a conveyor belt.  Also, the old Chinese ladies would crowd the cooks and get all the good stuff.  Or worse my favorite a sweet and sour chicken getting all congealed yuck-o.

Filipino Food:  This could work because most restaurants are point point restaurants.  For whitey that is a restaurant where you point at the dishes you want.  Why it works because some dishes are better if they sit for a bit like well all of them.  Ork adobo that gets to be slow braised and sits just gets more tender and sucks upo more flavor.  Sinagang is the same which is obvious because it is soup.  For a filipino rotating restaurant you would want fresh rice on the table so maybe each table would come with a rice cooker.

Gourmet Burger Joint:  That wouldn't work at all because no one would want a bun that is soggy or gross and the sandwich would get cold.

Shell Fish Restaurant would work.  Could you imagine oysters, shrimp cocktails, or jumbo  lump crab rotating around the room.  Inter spliced with steamed seafood and soups and chowders.  Dear God I have come up with another million dollar idea.  You could also have corn on the cob, crab claws... man... imagine some old salts rotating in a bowl of ice around the room...with a nice mignoette... yum.

rotating is the futre accept it.

Why Im Not a Foodie

Foodie culture exploded a few years back, and I thought I was part of it.  I thought I was into all these new and interesting foods when the reality was that I am asian and a lot of this food is just part of our culture and general Asianness.  Korean BBQ, squid in ink, urchin, ramen...bahn mi... blah blah blah.

So I was thinking I'm not a foodie. I like junk and regular food is that too retro am I a foodie hispter...no no no thats just dumb.  Actually anything retro in food is foodie like deviled eggs.  When it comes down to it, I just like regular food, as pointed out by big bro, Im a steak and rice kind of guy.

Any who here is a list of my non-foodie likes:
1.  Sweet and Sour Chicken.
2.  Regular Coke
3.  Big Macs
4.  NY Style Pizza slices
5.  Chicken Alfredo
6.  Three Layer Chocolate Cake
7.  Box Mac and Cheese
9.  Break and Bake Cookies
10.  Ground Beef Tacos
11. Cesar Salads
12.  Fajitas
13. Nachos
14. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
15. Western Fries
16. Stupid carnival foods

Deceptively Foodie Food Awesomeness that I love:
1.  Bacon
2.  Fish Tacos worse Shrimp Tacos
3.  BBQ...especially dry rubs and briskets...basically anything slow cooked over low temps.
4.  Spam...fucking hipsters...
5.  Carnival Deep Fried anything

The Raid Movie Review

Ass kicking good time.

A lot of close combat knife/baton fighting.

Bruce Lee still does it better.

Not a good movie in terms of: zero plot, zero character development, predictable plot lines. But still a lot of great fights.

Snackin Bacon

Like BrowserMetrics I forgo frying bacon to baking bacon. I have done it enough times to know that thick cut bacon works best. And wow daddy i end up making the whole package. This is both good and bad. Good because i have day long snacking bacon. Bad because I have access to bacon all day.

I like to save my bacon grease to dry eggs in. It takes 17 minutes to make it crispy. My bacon sticks but I usually can scoop it. I prefer my maple cured bacon.

I like to have eggs and bacon and breaky and then a bacon sammie for lunch. I don't mean a BLT. I mean a bacon sandwich: bread toasted, bacon and a spread. Yum.

I like to wake up to the smell of bacon. So I'll get up and lie down on the coach. Makes the whole house smell awesome.

Next up bacon date goodness

American Reunion

I got out of work a bit early and had nothing to do so I went to watch a movie American Reunion.

I was expecting the worse and I got something unexpected.

I got depressed.  The message of the movie is that growing up sucks and we rarely become the person of our high school dreams.  We get older and we have to work.  Work isn't fun.  Thats why its called work.  The movie represents everything you go through in life and its tough.  You have kids, you are responsible for the health and well being of a tiny person.  Thats a 24 hour a day job.  You might not have the career you thought and you  make shit up.   Or worse the people you thought were your friends aren't.  High school was fun because you didn't have any responsibilities.  College is the same.  You just have fun.  Then they dump you in the work world and you're never ready.

Why was I depressed.  I liked high school i made some great friends and had some great times.  I was depressed because we put so much stock memories, but they are just that memories.  Everyday you have to create new ones and when you get older that is not easy.  You have to be responsible.

You never have the job you want, you miss your first love blah blah blah....it was deprressing.

I should have just watched Hunger Games.

Sleep Eludes Me

For the past four days real sleep has evaded me.

So whats been happening, I fall asleep right after local news and when Jimmy Fallon ends I'm awake.  At this point my room is completely dark, the black out shades are going, and all light emitting devices are covered up.  I look up at the ceiling and am awake.  I mean I am not sleepy in the slightest.  Awake, like the day is starting.

At this point I try various sleep techniques.
Deep Breathing- This does slow my body down but never pushed me into sleep.
Reading- This unfortunately leads to me surfing the intertubes.
A/C- For some reason I believe that making my room an icebox helps.  I just freeze.
Counting- Ha ha sheep...this is like breathing.  Im always at the brink but never sleep.
Writing- If im anxious or over thinking I can usually write out my problem and boom im asleep.

Allergies- This has been the problem.  Sneezing, coughing.  I tried allergy medicine pre sleep and that just makes me anxious.  I tried nasa flushing and that makes me salty.

I end up sleeping around 430am to 600am.

At this time I do hit REM sleep, the dreams I have had:
Me choking a faceless person; eating dinner with my mom and dad; being at the beach...

I dont know whats next...

If I had Won

I woke up to Luke Russert on the today show saying the winning ticket was bought at a 7-11 in Baltimore County.  The Day before I had been up near my mom's house and went by the 7-11 near her an picked up more tickets.  I was charged but instantly deflated when Luke said it was in Milford Mill....

What I would have done with my winnings?
