Definitely agree on several movies in the last few years:
Hot Tub Time Machine
Superbad
Knocked Up
The Hangover

Get Him to the Greek was just OK

Go Hawks

Only had 1 chance to dance to the Fratelli's Chelsea Dagger last night!
Very fun testosterone-filled evening with the girls.

The Purple Pig

I've been eating out for lunch a little to much this week...not complaining, just commenting

Ok, went to The Purple Pig. It was delicious! And interesting menu. I went with another person who doesn't fear weird foods
( we're filipino). And we finished just about everything to the waitresses surprise. Shit, we CAN put it away.

We ordered:
Pig's Ear with Crispy Kale, Pickled Cherry Peppers & Fried Egg
Pretty good. Not weird tasting or weird texture-wise. it's fried. you can't fuck up fried food.

Sardines with Lemon Vinaigrette
This was tasty! The fennel salad that went with it was a good fresh balance to the sardines. These aren't sardines from a can. Lots of little berry things (currants & capers, oh my) mixed in the salad.

Eggplant Caponata with Goat Cheese Smear
Very good too. Bold taste. It actually tasted healthy if that makes sense. Lots of eggplant. It was a contrast to the lemony dishes like the sardines and the un-named salad (next)

And a salad that isn't listed on the online menu - had endive, lemon, shaved hard cheese like maybe parmesan and aborio rice - refreshing!

THere are recipes on the purple pig site too.

Flo & Santos

Flo's Polish

Surprisingly delicious!

Perfect balance, blend, whatever of Polska Kielbasa, sauerkraut, applewood smoked bacon, & of course, cheese.

This would be easy to mess up if done by an amateur.

Looks like a Justice w all the tweens!!

Happy Halloween

Halloween is a kids holiday. However, adults continue to hijack the night and create a night of pure fun.
Hung out in Wicker Park as Chilean Miners along with a pimp, Stands with a Fist a la Dances with Wolves, and Betty Draper.

Love the Hangover group ensemble, Tiger Woods, bull and bull fighter.
Way to slut it out ladies!

Sunday Bears

Ok last Sunday's game as a spectator or fan must have been quite a trip.

On Monday morning/the day after:

1) I saw a neighbor keys dangling in the door knob. Possible scenario: Boyfriend drunk and late coming home trying to open the door. Door swung open by annoyed girlfriend inside. Keys left dangling over night. Keys witnessing Wall Street Journal delivery person.

I was nice...took keys out the door and hid them under the WSJ.

2)  Blood drops on the front door...on the outside. Carnage? Bloody nose from post-game drunk fist fight?

Weather

The weather is insane today!

Driving south on the Dan Ryan 90/94 was scary with the rain and the dark gloomy skies.

Coming back to the city - pretty deceptive with the partly cloudy blue sky. There is nothing sealed tight enough to keep the gusts of wind out.

Glad to be back in the comforts of home. Listening to things rattle and shake, winds roar, & the grill roll are pleasant sounds and a reminder of the powerful Mother Nature.

This will be very cool. On the red line going north yesterday, for a few seconds I thought I was already at Fullerton b/c of the bright white lights. Hoping to get the next iPhone model next summer.

Chicago Marathon thoughts


I feel secure in saying:
1) I didn't shit on myself
2) I will never run a marathon ever again
3) I'm excited about future HALF marathons!

Afternoon in NOLA

Bucktown 5K

Great time today at the Bucktown 5K. It's advertised as the "warm up" for the Chicago Marathon. 

Well, I almost vomited at the finish line. Thank goodness brunch was not far from the finish line. Hot Chocolate on Damen. Home of the $4 coffee, $2 refill, $7 hot chocolate.
