This Just In: Jalapeños Are Spicy!

I was generously offered a kolache (sp?) this morning from Shipley's. It's basically a super delicious hog-in-a-blanket with a whole jalapeño stuffed inside. Very tasty. I can tell you though, you will need three Dr. Pepper's for this particular mid-morning snack. I was breaking a sweat by the time I was done and I ditched the pepper halfway through.

In related news, donuts are sweet and wonderful gifts from the heavens.

Moe and the Cornbread

Moe's BBQ: Free wifi, Blues, and $2 Pabst!

After wrangling the brothers Pate (note: Jose does not want cake) we set out on this blustery day to acquire a turkey sammich, jambalaya, and other spectacular viddles. The meal was great, and we left to return to the office. Then it began...

First a giant green egg came rolling down 29th at ramming speed firing pizza flavored ninja stars! We narrowly escaped using our knowledge of Gibson guitars to avoid the collision. Then a black GMC van came steaming around the corner only to throw glass bottles at us, because plastic would just have been counter intuitive.

Then the evil of all evils...
Walker Texas Ranger and his crotch gusseted action jeans, General Hummel, and John McClain rose to attack. Ten roundhouse kicks, 2 VX gas-armed rockets, and 4 dead terrorists later, beaten and bloody, we circumvented disaster and found refuge in the Brock.

We rendezvoused later for mission debriefing at an undisclosed location. It was stinky.

Archer Farms – Roast Beef on Asiago Tomato Focaccia

I swung by the Target deli case and picked up one of their sandwiches. Turns out, this was a damn good decision.

The sandwich is on an Asiago/Sundried Tomato Focaccia with the following layers:

• Basil Pesto
• Provolone
• Sundried Tomatoes
• Roast Beef
• Provolone
• Spinach
• Tomatoes

I brought it to the office, threw it in the toaster office until it was nice and warm. Delicious!
And yes, that is two layers of provolone…

Yes... you should be jealous.

Feb 7, 2011 - New China Garden Panda Bamboo Moon Buffet

Oh yes, there will be lunch today at the New China Garden Panda Bamboo Moon Buffet (under new management!). The aftermath will gather at 11:30-ish to load the Swagger Wagon to make the trek to the Chinese goodness.

Results to follow...

Zea and the Gigantic Chicken Sandwich

A few days ago, I had a lunch meeting with a vendor. We went to discuss business as usual, but I ended up with something beyond my wildest dreams (okay, that's a bit of an overstatement): a GIGANTIC Chicken sandwich. It was so large that, as proof, I had to take a picture of the mammoth sammich.

The Gigantic Chicken Sammich!

To tame the beast, it had be cut in two!

This was one of the best sammiches I have had in recent memory. The chicken was juicy with a crunchy crust. The honey dijon sauce added just the right amount flavor. Not to mention the side of Roasted Corn Grits. This proved to be a solid competitor to BurgerQuest.

Super China Garden Moon Buffet - Thwarted again!

For the second day in a row, the journey to Super Garden Panda China Twilight Bamboo Cafe in Irondale has been thwarted! The stars have aligned themselves against this from happening this week.
I guess my sushi/ice cream plate will have to wait for another day.

Bogue's prayer

I ate too much chicken and dumplings

and especially potatoes

see I asked for one serving of potatoes

and the guy behind the counter said "well you get two sides with the special"

and I said "but I only want the one"

and he said "it's the same price... you want double potatoes?"

and I, being not so bright, said yes

and then ate most of them

amen
