Been a bit, I have been…. well..  getting fat.  Yep, this winter has so far been the winter of eating whatever the fuck I want.  I hadn’t had pizza since like mid spring.  I had a slice two nights ago, and left that experience thinking of pizza a lot.  I use to order a 16″ pizza and pretty much eat the whole thing.  I cut that behavior out of my life, along with other eating habits, and I dropped weight as a result.  That was spring and summer, last night I ordered a 16″ pizza and ate the whole thing, not good.  I”m putting this up because this kind of format helps me get back to what I need to do.  The pizza was good, but only for a little bit.  The end result of it was I was super full, and I had a whole damn pizza in my body.  I’m not a New Years resolution kind of person, but I can tell you this… I’m done with that shit.  Gonna rock fruit, almonds, and soup this week.  Get the workout plan going, and get back to where I was a couple months ago.  There I declared.  Even if no one reads this stuff, I declare to myself.

Nothing about versus really.  I liked both of these people.  I have never met the actress Murphy, or the football player Henry.   They both died over the last couple days, and something about them, and their demise makes me sad.  I’m sad anytime anyone passes away, unless they are ready to go, to escape some horrible pain.  Random people die every day, every minute.  I hear about it, oh, so and so passed away, and these would mostly be people I don’t know, like famous folk.   That is who you hear about in terms of the news reporting death, always famous folk.  Nothing against a single one them.  Chris Henry fell out of a truck, possibly during and argument, died.  Not sure about Murphy’s cause, and I”m not one to get into some internet looking around for the facts.  I just know those to have me thinking about the good things, I’m not minding that my feet are cold at the moment, or that I should buy my dog a new dog bed, those things are smallish at the momento.

On another note, These bleads are not rocking it this Sunday.   Go Germany, the land of certain hotness.  Hotness is everywhere by the way.

Good-Jerked Chicken Spot called Mr. Browns Lounge, in the Ukrainian Village!  It’s located on the corner of Chicago and Oakley, and it opened this week.   I have not been to Jamaica yet, but let me kinda let you know about something, Jerked Chicken on Bedford ave in Bedstuy Brooklyn is some of the best food I have ever put in my body.  A taste that pretty much assures at least 5 meals from a week long stay in Brooklyn will Jerked Chicken, served up yummy by super Jamaican American peeps.  I love love it, get it!  So yeah, Mr. Browns Lounge…. Taste just like Brooklyn.  But check this, they have a spicy mac n cheese that will always be the extra side I get.  Chicken, cooked cabbage, rice and beans, and some amazing jerk sauce, get a side of that to just pour over the chicken and rice and beans.  Oh boy.  I got it to go, i’m not a eat chicken off the bone in front of folks kind of fella.  Not a dish that makes me crazy with happiness, that’s some at home, game on type shit…. Like I said, Oh Boy.

That was the good.

Here is the Bad.

Bad-$14.99 for the Jerked Chicken Entree.  That would be the size I get in Brooklyn, it would be called Large, and it would cost $8.50.  Don’t get me wrong, that is only bad because I won’t be going there twice a week.  Maybe just a few times a month.  Cost yo!

RIP.  Mama Susie and Uncle Jay.  And of course all the good ones that sleep deep.

Not many items in the food world are black.   Taco Bell is ignoring this basic fact. They must not realize their food is an ass exploding  agent.  Think rotten, think ass explosion, now instinctively let the words black taco link those things.  Wow.  Is the vampire thing this big, Black Vampire in the White House (no knock on Obama, I love the guy, but peep the law school photos from Harvard…. Very Blackula),  all the vampire crap in the tele, in the movie theaters…. Is Taco Bell onto some new jack goth tip? Could be.

Don’t ever visit Olympia without a visit to Tranacria, Fresh Pasta in a super cute little room.  Done the same way for years.  Eugenio Aliotta is the  very very dope owner.  It’s not just the Italian accent, no… that would be kinda shallow right, its the food!  The menu is varied, with some options that are light and veggie freindly, but really, If you eat meat, you have to have fettuccine alla bolognese….. So Damn Good. Peep Game.

113 Capitol Way.

What an ill declaration eh?  But here’s whats up, its true.  The menu there is worthy, tapas, thoughtful salads, several sandwiches…. wait, I’m getting a bit lost here.  The Burgers….  They are named after people, artist mostly.   I have had four different people, and one of them several times.  That one is called the Shakespeare Burger.  1/2lb burger that was clearly hand molded into the big ass burger it was.  Mushrooms and onions sauteed nicely, under some solidly amounted Swiss cheese.  If you eat meat, this sounds good, if you don’t…. uhm, sorry.  Back to the Burger, I left out  some very yummy bacon placed on top of the cheese!  I eat bacon about twice a month, maybe just once…. OK 4 times,   But its on this burger mostly.   The two sisters that run the spot are a nice chill presence that completes the food nicely.  Peace to Veronica.  They kinda keep it on the fast fry style with the fries, I’d roll with the salad as the side option.  They deliver…. Dang! ” Super Nintendo Sega Genesis” That’s the vibe of this burger.
