I'm a draw!

Don't be so modest. You are a win.

I didn't eat them, so I'm not sure that it matters, but I would bet not, as this place sells a number of veggie sandwiches straight from their menu (they even have the soy cheese option and tempeh). I do eat meat (other than seafood) occasionally, but not often. So everyone trying to gross me out or whatever by mentioning meat items, it doesn't work. I would not die, get sick or even be grossed out if some sort of meat thing ended up in my food. Happens every now and then anyway.

I don't have the patience to order stuff that's not on the menu. That's why I always eat pizza for lunch.

Oh, probably some Owen Roe Abbott's Table. Or if not that, depending how generous I am feeling (as we are having guests....family) maybe some merlot that is made by a winemaker i know who is starting a winery (but not yet up and running) but who has grown grapes (his family owns a lot of grapes) for and made wine for Woodward Canyon and Northstar, amongst other Walla Walla wineries. I have 4-5 bottles of some '01 private label merlot he made. It's good, I am just not sure I want to share it with the family member/guest.

Maybe some Argyle brut for dessert.

Really? I think of you as a food guy (that's not an inslut, btw; a good thing to be), and would expect you to like the blue cheese group. I love each of the varietals you identified. By themselves or in combo with other foods.

One of the best things about being a food guy instead of a gourmet is that you get to like or dislike things purely according to your own taste. Another example: I think the Chicago ordinance banning fois gras is about the dumbest thing anybody other than Slave or Penske has suggested be taken seriously this year, but I still hate fois gras and wouldn't eat it served on a naked Scarlett Johansson.

  NEW YORK (AP) -- Scarlett Johansson's hourglass figure and plum movie roles have brought her many fans. Among them, clearly, the editors at Esquire. The magazine has just crowned her "Sexiest Woman Alive."

I wonder who the Sexiest Woman Dead is? Or was?

We've been through this before. No.

Dude you are so wrong. A hunk of Point Reyes blue, a nice cabernet and a loaf of crusty french bread makes an outstanding dinner.

Or an upcoming dinner.

If you keep ordering sausage all the time, definitely. Fortunately, Ollie knows a guy who does reduction surgery.

I think when we went to the all meat, all the time (also the site of the Meat Off competition) place, you were not yet veggie.

I don't have to have meat. And she doesn't have to have fish-that-is-not-shrimp. So we do fine.

I was veggie. But I went anyway. Because it was your birthday. And I believe I had meat too. I'm a giver.

Those all-you-can-eat meat places have always sketched me out a bit after the recruiting lunch I went to at one of them which ended with the men eating until they made themselves sick as some sort of feat of machismo. Is that a part of the festivus tradition?

They have a menu item which is "Build Your Own", so I guess it is on the menu, but I hear what you're saying. I sometimes don't go to that place despite my desire to have that sandwich everyday because of the ordering PITA.

They mis-made my sandwich today at the sandwich shop downstairs. I always order a ncs-original: green apples, tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers and pepper jack cheese on a grilled tortilla wrap. Well, today instead of cucumbers they put on grilled veggies (squash, zucchini and carrots). Normally I am all for the grilled veggies (and I'm glad those were added instead of, say, some dead animal), but this combination does not go together at all.

I blame rp.

Either way, where's the fuckin lunch?

That's a Meat Off.

And I'm sorry. I apparently did not realize you were veggie. I will not make you go to all meat all the time again.

ETA but you intro-ed me to the pepperoni things at the place where we sat outside . . .

Has anyone published the brand and shade of lipstick she is wearing yet? It is....the perfect shade of red. I think it's matte, too. I hope matte lipsticks come back now.
