Wednesday, December 23, 2009 TRUCKBLOGGIN' #10: Greenage
day, I just spent 15 minutes standing in a circle of a group of eight male laborers chomping on various leafy foods to determine which unlabeled box contained the plant "mustard greens"--with none of us being able to identify a mustard green by sight or even, frankly, by taste. Ultimately we decided after pulling up a photo of mustard green on the Problem solved, though I am still wondering, after seeing the words Labels: food, mark jaffe, quicksnaps, Truckbloggin posted by Nihilist Loves Hate, Hates Everything at 12/23/2009 01:50:00 AM 1 comments Tuesday, December 22, 2009 TRUCKBLOGGIN' #8: Road Food
Is it a custard? It doesn't matter, really, what it is--the point is that this is the Labels: food, quicksnaps, Truckbloggin posted by Nihilist Loves Hate, Hates Everything at 12/22/2009 08:42:00 PM 1 comments Thursday, December 10, 2009 In Watermelon Flour Deeds Were Done  This is an amazing watermelon cake that Ringo made for Alex upon his arrival home from another month of touring. Honestly--amazing. Note that that red is so bright that my DSLR camera was unable in the low-ish light to capture the detail of cake--it basically all bleeds together, literally. Anyway, kudos, Ringo.

There is so little quality food in this neighborhood that anyone with a tongue for flavor but a small wallet must scour the nookiest nooks to find even semi-solid values (thank god for midtownlunch.com). As a result of this total shitshow on non-food possibility, I more or less subsist by eating Halal food or mediocre Global Kitchen pizza. Every once in a while though I get a craving for Chinese food and I cave in and go to a take-out place conveniently located directly across the street, Yips. Sadly, every single time it is a terrible mistake. Don't buy into the semi-positive Midtown Lunch testimony--Yips is absolutely horrible. There is nothing at all good about Yips, other than the fact that it's relatively cheap. Their food, ALL of which is astonishingly greasy, is definitely in a top 5 category of least satisfying Chinese food i've ever eaten. I have had the misfortune of going to Yips exactly six times, and each time I have finished my meal swearing to myself that I will never EVER go there again, no matter how alluring cheap Chinese food may seem. And yet, every eight or so months enough time has passed since the last time and I'll start talking myself down, slowly... until finally I'm outside and finding myself walking in. "It's not as bad as I'm remembering it," I say. "You have a tendency to exaggerate," I remind myself (which is true). But then I go in, order, and eat, and every time.... gah. Terrible. Some people never learn. Labels: case studies, curiosities, food, quicksnaps posted by Nihilist Loves Hate, Hates Everything at 10/23/2009 06:00:00 PM 0 comments |
GET BEHIND ME DEAD MAN
Actually, we didn't share this for Ben because he's from the outside, but our nights in the warehouse generally consist of a 5-minute "barbershop break."
