I actually don't ever buy stuff like mac n' cheese in restaurants, because I just can't bring myself to pay that much for something that is so cheap and easy to make at home, and make much, much, better than almost anywhere else. It's the same hangup that keeps me from paying $3.50 for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I think that they charge $2.50 or something at the place that sells that for lunch here. The thing that keeps me from buying one (after one attempt) is the flagrant overuse of peanut butter on the sandwich. I like peanut butter as much as (or more than) the next person, but who wants to eat a half cup of it on a sandwich???

I must be ungodly wealthy, because I would not even flinch at paying $10 for mac and cheese or $5 for pb&j if that is what I'm in the mood for.

If you brought your lunch you could control your caloric intake and save money. Because it's foolish for support staff to spend the same amount on food as the attorneys unless it's after hours and the firm is going to reimburse you.

So much common sense, so little time.

I agree. If it's what you're in the mood for, it will satisfy you, and it's a reasonable/affordable amount to spend for a meal, what difference does it make if, because its ingredients are so cheap, it's relatively "overpriced"?

hypothetical: say if you had "support staff" that actually hurt your productivity, wasn't much a speller, as an example, poor grammar skills maybe, etc. Talked non-stop so she was a big drain on the productivity of those around her, you can imagine someone like that.

Isn't it possible that an attorney working with this "net negative" support staff might give her money to purchase elaborate and long lunches, say on a day when lots of higher quality work needs to get done in the office?

I'm asking hypothetically.

Wonk has probably been to Stanley's Kitchen & Tap here in the city. Home style southern cooking. Stanley's has $8 toasted mac and cheese, and I think it's underpriced. It's outstanding.

Moreover, Stanley's has a bottle of whiskey at the bar that anyone can drink for free. It's Kesslers - there's a reason it's free. They also serve FREE mashed potatoes at midnight. Plus, Frenchy from Goodfellas hangs out there.

I think it's mean of ya'll to talk about mac and cheese in front of GGG.

Mmmmmmm. Mac and cheese.....

The same people who want an entire bar of cream cheese on their bagel?

According to one article, it's a sensitive family matter. Apparently someone in the family also has a morbid curiosity (and thinks the gipper was a bastard or something)

Apparently for DNA testing. Who the fuck on here do you think would have inside information on an exhumation in Indiana or whatever? This isn't a Medical Examiners or Sports Insiders board.

As foolish as it is for lawyers to spend the same amount on [insert item of your choice here -- housing, food, cars, vacations, strippers and blow, etc.] as their banker clients unless it's work-related and charged to the firm or a matter?

I have never called you. I am suing you for your sig line, based on defamation and slander. Or something like that.

It's better than a mere pat. I'd rather scrape off the excess than have to ask for more.
