Lemon: a new twist

Lemonocity takes a new twist: not lemon bars, but lemon on broccoli.

Lunch today with Russell, discussing home sales and tap dancing (though not at the same time ... but it's an idea!), got the lemon-sprinkled broccoli and a sausage-over-rice dish with a few onions and peppers tossed in for taste and color.

Skip 'em both.

The broccoli was pale because of the lemon, or the supposed lemon. Another Zen moment, but oddly not so Zen. The veggie tasted curiously fishy. That's the best way to describe it, that it tasted somehow fishy rather than lemony. Either that's what TFC was going for or somehow they dropped the broccoli in a fish tank and were able to get it out in time for cooking.

The sausage thing was okay. Tad greasy and bland, even with hot sauce, but edible.

Important Note: The post before this (below) was the 100th on the infamous Lunch At The Faculty Center blog. That's somehow important, I just haven't quite figured out how or why it's important. There should have been multimedia. Should have been fireworks. Ah well.

The Wrath of Con(rad)?

Hollander and I lunched at the old FC today. I didn't think it was still possible, but I was shocked. Not by Hollander's dismal assessment of the Athens real estate market, nor by the chicken supreme, which is just like it was last semester (possibly frozen since then?), but by the fact that the tables near the cash register are aligned differently.

Instead of being placed at a careful 45-degree angle, the tables are now parallel to the divider. This will completely change Fink's sight-line.
