    Fresco Tortilla

    Bean & guac soft taco ftw! I loved that place. I miss that neighborhood, although a lot of my old faves (Bendix Diner, Man Ray, ZigZag Bar) are long gone.

    I am unsurprised. Not accessible enough, overpriced, redundant. I still remember ordering a dry martini from the bar out front (before a Jenny Lewis show) and getting something akin to a 50-50 because the adorable young bartender thought "dry" meant "more vermouth." Where is he now, I wonder.

    What are you watching?

    Weapons. Like many horror movies, this sets up a pretty interesting premise and then completely squanders it by devolving into gore and nonsense. I was scared exactly once. H convinced me to watch it by saying it was Oscar nominated. It will not win.

    Roseanne Barr (when she was still funny) famously pushed back against her then-husband's habit of asking her where things were by announcing that "the uterus is not a tracking device."

    I was reminded of this just last night when H texted me (I was at a party) to ask where the popcorn was.

    So, yes.

    95! I did not think of him as that old. His legacy is so solid, even if it was just The Apostle and The Great Santini. But then you throw in BOO RADLEY.

    It showed up for me yesterday, which is why I made it! I'm not psychic - just impulsive.

    I finally made decent shrimp fried rice. On a sheet pan, in the oven. So, not fried, really. But at least it's decent! Plus smashed cukes, as the effort to use up Superbowl leftovers continues.

    I had cooked food delivered

    No shame in that. I managed to get my supplies on a day when it wasn't completely horrid (and being able to drive to Costco didn't hurt).

    I also bought roast beef (from Formaggio Essex) for the first time in my life, because H's friend was bringing kimmelweck rolls and au jus down from Buffalo. I let the guy behind me in line taste-test it since I don't eat meat. The beef on weck was a huge hit and all the sandwiches disappeared in minutes.
