been there done that

I thought I had seen it all. Having lived in NYC for so many years I've seen my share of gay polish bikers from latin america, transvestite hookers, shemales and the female counter part what ever thats called -drag kings I guess. Goof ball tourists, goof ball tourists trying hard to blend in, guys from queens that act like they know everything, people who really do know everything, the naked cowboy, every flavor of thug, 'little people' conventions, the dog show, elephants, but this weekend I've truly seen it all.......







A license plate from Alaska and it was on MY block. I have never seen one before and to see it so far from where it originates is obviously something I had to write home about.



Cilantro, lime juice, garlic, pepper corns and olive oil in the blender created the bath that this roasted chicken bathed in over night before basking under the glow of a 300 degree oven for an hour.



Yucca, butter, canned milk and chicken broth made these mashers really unique.

I come here without food on my mind and I leave to go eat...if I gain all that weight back, it'll be on your head!

sold

dawoods: good to see you

mel: as a kid poultry was funky to me

BuffD: some kind of chimichurri

HAR: they still be all up in my hood be seein' that car daily now...

tavolini: all it says to me is if that car only has distance miles and like most newbies to manhattan they get 'tired' of the car -rig-a-ma-row then they will sell it cheap - 'just to get rid of it' and if you now the dog like me then volvos 'my boy'

meg; low carbs high carbs full-o-fat and greasy...whats wrong with that

bina: I wanna go to beths - I'll cook there.

Pinknest: it has been more of a roasted bird kind of winter...
if its cheap AND the wear and tear looks ok I will buy that puppy just out of my obsessive compulsive disorder.
