Soul fries with catfish bites sound pretty good to me.

Ramp and asparagus soup with yogurt. It has some nice garnishes, too, but they sank. So much for presentation! I guess I either have to make the soup really thick or make sure it's really shallow. I do not feel like doing either of these things.

Another absinthe frappe. Seemed like a good day for it.

We don't know each other except here, and a message board is vastly inadequate to convey sympathy, but know that every time I read one of your posts here, I take a moment to wish you peace.

I have a lot of different color plates. But not enough to match everything, so sometimes I go for contrast. Just trying to keep myself entertained over here.

I set Laszlo up with a tablet on his couch, because I do not want him perched on the tv stand!

Obviously, you know more about this than I do. So even though the restaurant has already set the fee up in Resy, and Resy has your credit card number, and Resy's the one nudging you about confirming, etc., the restaurant is the one that puts the charge through?

I think it's Resy that automatically sets things in motion for the charge, and if you ask the restaurant to waive it, they won't refuse.

Propofol is a miracle drug.

100% my first thought. How about reborn, like in Logan’s Run? @Sneakeater’s under 30, right?

Silver lining minus clouds? I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I hope things improve.

Good! I hope you stay fixed!

I volunteer to be afraid for you, as it is in my skill set and might be helpful. Also to do your Greenmarket shopping, if there comes a time you need someone to do this.

I remembered posting about the movie right after I saw it. I didn't remember responding to you, 'til I did the search.

Look! We've had this conversation before. And another thing - if you see it with another person, be sure to announce the name of each dish as soon as you recognize it. They will be very impressed with you! Or tell you to be quiet and let them watch the movie, one or the other.

Leftover ricotta dumplings with tomato sauce, broiled asparagus. Maybe don't cook the tomato sauce so long, but other than that, no notes.

Yes, in the actual theater. It's beautifully shot, well-acted, and make sure you have some food within reach if you watch it.

I think mine's about 6. A friend is giving me her old iPhone 7 - just have to find my SIM card tool to swap over.

Thanks! I think I'm going to go even cheaper and slap a clear cover on the face. Let's see how long I can hold out with that stopgap solution.

Aaaand I dropped it on the street and fully spider-webbed the screen. Fuck. I guess it really is time for a new one.

Screen Sixteen Candles at your peril.

I spend a lot of time explaining to The Young People that a lot of things were "allowed" then that aren't "allowed" now. And vice versa.

I think my iPhone has stopped updating due to oldness, 'cause I can't run the NYT app anymore.

I got shingles #1 and flu at the same time, and obviously I almost died. Shingles #2 was easier, but I still got sick.
