lettuce on the side

how much lettuce is too much lettuce on a sandwich? Well, going by my lunch today, when one can reassemble the leaves into an entire head of lettuce then perhaps the chef has gone a little overboard in the lettuce stakes. Jinx (in her wonderfully American fashion) suggested I should ask for “easy on the […]

a parody of his younger self

Well the weather is certainly conducive to working indoors today (not that I work out of doors any other day) but still…there’s something comforting about sitting inside soaking in the artificial light with the rain and gloom outside.
