mustache

so i made a bet with my boss (who by the way is a year younger than I and works out of our NY office) that i would make my first sale by wednesday. i think i'm good for it, but we shall see. if i win the bet, he is going to next-day air me two pastrami sandwiches from my favorite deli in the world, katz's deli on houston st. in the lower east side, the deli where in when harry met sally, sally has the fake orgasm and does that stupid salad routine that most chicks are famous for...

if i lose....i have to grow a mustache for a month...now being that my boss is in nyc, how's he gonna know? well he could ask the other people i work with..or i could just do it, as i'm a man of his honor....so wish me luck!

on another note, my fishing trip was cancelled for this weekend and pushed back till next due to the incessant rain building up the river and causing it to rise so damn high he doesn;t know where the fish are, or something...

food...so i hate to admit it, but we've satisfied our craving over a couple of years t give in and try these two chain restaurants out. red robin and pf changs. red robin was like a huge kids party inside a tgi fridays that served mainly burgers and milkshakes. i had a banana shake and a whiskey bbq bacon burger. the burger was way too well done, i wanted it more juicy..sent it back, it was still well done. oh well, never going there again. pf changs was really good, but it's still glorified americanized sit down chinese, unlike panda express which is awesome fast food chinese, the mcdonalds of chinese food, but way better. still, the lettuce wraps at pf changs were prtetty good (although melenie can easily make better), the chili scallops were just ok...they were fried good, but when i asked for extra spicy they just dumped more chili sauce on it instead of chili oil, semi reuining the taste...melenie's mongolian beef was fantastic though, albeit a bit too salty and some pieces not as thinly sliced as mongolian beef should be...great service though and shehad a great pear mojito or something...

recently, we've been talking about opening a bed and breakfast in the future instead of a restaurant... we shall see....

we're planning a trip to tokyo this summer. anybody want to join us?

i really want to try this restaurant pok pok here in pland which serves takeout northern thailand fire roasted chicken and my favorite side dish, som tum...

those are my thoughts for now on saturday morning...

oh, lastly, i may have mentioned it before but my 2 favorite new beers are both made by widmer. coincidentally, widmer's brewery is about a 15 minute walk from my house... if you see snowplow or drop top amber at your takeout joint, please pick them up...they're amazing and im gonna walk my ass right over there one night soon and get blitzed on snowplow off the tap....p!
