We don’t have a tandoor, so when we have a craving for fresh-baked naan, we have to improvise. Here is some video showing how we made naan using a pizza stone in our regular oven.

The next step is to build a tandoor in the backyard.

Cookie Monster Searches Deep Within Himself and Asks: Is Me Really Monster?

Me know. Me have problem.

Me love cookies. Me tend to get out of control when me see cookies. Me know it not natural to react so strongly to cookies, but me have weakness….

Me was thinking and me just don’t get it. Why is me a monster? No one else called monster on Sesame Street….

How can they be so callous? Me know there something wrong with me, but who in Sesame Street doesn’t suffer from mental disease or psychological disorder? They don’t call the vampire with math fetish monster, and me pretty sure he undead and drinks blood…

(cookie monster knows how i feel)

Siphon Bar, Blue Bottle Coffee Co., originally uploaded by tiki.robot.

I don’t know how it tastes because they are making mine at the moment.
The waitress tells me that the contraption on the left is for making
Kyoto iced coffee. I’d like to know where in Kyoto you can find it.
“I’m not saying they don’t have them there, I’m just saying I never
saw one,” didn’t really go over very well….

Back in September 2006, after reading this post, I sent in an SASE and a phrase for Exploding Dog’s ‘Drawings by Mail.’ May got hers last January but mine never showed up. In the meantime, Sam (of Exploding Dog) had a baby and I figured he’d (understandably) stopped the drawings. But last month they started appearing on the website again. Well, yesterday I spied a large envelope addressed to myself in my own handwriting and for a second, I was confused but then it hit me. It’s HERE! And here it is. PS. May, you never told us what your phrase was.

The Silver Crest is so sketchy. It’s like Sketch Central. I’ve lived next to it for six years and had never been inside. But look at all that great neon! Their sign proclaims: “We Never Close”. We decide we have to go.

Friday night Sam was driving us back from the spaz party at the Li Po Lounge, and we pass the Silver Crest. We’re full of Mai Tais and thumpy beats, but Bob and I have the same thought. We have to go.

We walk in and transported fifty years into the past. There is a bar in the back with a crowded pool table, but it’s 2am and the bar is just closing. We grab a booth in the front. These jukebox things on every table:

It doesn’t work and and eats Bob’s quarter. That probably for the best, since the jukebox is full of with Greek waltzes.

The menu is written on the wall. The food isn’t cheap, but we hope it’s good. The coffee is a ridiculous $2.75. Even for diner coffee, it tastes like crap.

They have these old pinball machines, which mang decides to check out while we wait for the food. There is a sign saying you have to be over 21 to play. We ask the server why, and she says they don’t want to encourage the kids to gamble. Whatever. The kids are all at Li Po, anyway, playing dice for drinks.

The food comes out. I’m surprised by how bad it is, but I don’t know why. I guess I expect shitty diners to have great food. That is not the case tonight. My hotcakes arrive with an entire stick of “butter” on top, which promptly slides off onto the table as soon as the server sets them down.

I’m disgusted but Bob thinks we need to come back. The Silver Crest has donuts, and they might actually be good. Maybe we’ll bring our own coffee next time.

Home Depot executives have abandoned a seven-year quest to open a hardware store at the borders of the Bayview and Bernal Heights neighborhoods, blaming a slow approval process, falling nationwide sales and the poor economy.

Good. I don’t want those racist fuckers two blocks from my house.
