Dinner report

Spotted at the Macarena Grill on San Pablo: J, C, and C.

The menu:

Lots of free bread.

A bottomless jug of cheap table wine.

Calamari.

Three orders of pasta.

The review? Food enjoyed by all. So much so, in fact, that one of the diners managed to polish off his entire entree.

And it even came with free green mints at the end!

The only complaint? The old waiter's vaguely creepy ponytail.

Overheard during the fire alarm

"Why don't firemen ever show up at these things half-naked anymore?"

Some of you may be wondering who I am...

but this is what I ate for breakfast this morning.  In fact, this is what I eat for breakfast every morning.  Perfection on a plate.

Also, bigne, I advertised your blog on my friend Nana's new myspace page.  She has a new blog too!!  It's myspace.com/thelittlethingsbynana

Ask to be her friend!

Stella. STELLLLLAAAA

Sad news on the home front. My beloved car, Stella, has been violated.


I went down to the garage to drive her to school only to find her front driver's side window completely smashed into pieces. Like this car:













Nothing was taken and the window will be replaced tomorrow. But poor beautiful Stella. However, a special thanks of gratitude goes out to one Marlon Brando - who picked me up to get duck tape, helped me tape a towel where the window once was, cleaned up the mounds of glass shards, and escorted me to Jack in the Box for a late lunch. Here's to you, Marlon Brando! And thanks for the beautiful flowers (my favorite kind, too!)

Food for thought

Why is the coffee at Strada so much better than the coffee at Zeb? Aren't they owned by the same people?

Skull and Crossbones on My Mug

Bhh and Maui Wowie are having coffee. There are no pastries to be seen for miles.

Pillaging, Plundering, and Treasure

The quesadillas at the B-school are quite awesome, in case any of you are looking to go south of the border in the "B to the Erkeley".

Good Evening Boalt Hall, Profiterole IR Here

Looks like Napoleon Bonaparte does not know how to give up. Profiterole IR (that's me!) has received yet another communication from him about 5 minutes ago... bringing his totally tally of times he's messaged/e-mailed in the past week and a half to a whopping: 9. And of those 9, I have responded...

Wait let me check....



oh that's right. NEVER. I HAVE NEVER RESPONDED.

It's quite out of control really.

The Case of the Wayward Wallet. Solved.

At approximately 11AM this morning, a Boalt student who we will call Christine F.--No, that's too obvious--C. Fujita reported that she had lost her wallet. It was a source of concern, according to all parties present.

Profiteroles has reached out to C. Fujita. She has informed us that the wallet has been found. In her words, "I did, Thanks!"

Men and Meat... These are a few of my favorite things

I have taken to studying at the B-School Library. Yes yes I know, I am a traitor. (Though I blame the influence of one Maui Wowie). We decided to take a dinner break at the lovely Filo Jimmy Cafe, located in the basement of the B-School. I have never been reticent to sing the praises of this cafe, due to the fact that it carries FRENCH FRIES.

And for the kicker, they even make .... BURGERS.

As I stood there waiting for my delicious dinner of charred meat, I noticed a sight unseen in Cafe Zeb, back in the Land of Boalt: There were men. MEN EVERYWHERE. Tables of them. I counted at least four groups where there were at least 3 - 6 men, and only 1 (ONE) female. It was strange. It was unbelieveable. It was enough to make an average member of the community exclaim: "OUTRAGEOUS!"

I will admit, most looked like this guy:
but come on people. Hordes of men! Roaming free!


So if you are wondering what to get me for the holiday season, well .... I would appreciate either men or meat in my stocking. *


*i am totally kidding. i really want chestnuts.

Breaking News

I hope this post will answer two pressing questions.

1) What did I have for dinner?
2) Am I really incapable of spelling words and constructing sentences?

To address the first, I should start by saying that the picture is somewhat deceiving. I did have 2 Trader Joe's Mushroom Asiago Gourmet Chicken Sausages. But, before that, I had a Cheese Brioche thing at Strada, which was not from Trader Joe's, but quite good. I think I will have it again, and recommend others do as well.

As to the second question, please tell me where I screwed up and I will edit.

UPDATE: I just had some almonds. I would say approximately 10.

Spotted at Costco

In the cheese section, of all places! They might as well put them in the lobster tank.

(yes, i actually took that picture with my phone. oh, technology, you are one fickle mistress)

I Object!

Upset of the Day: not being included in THIS http://www.abajournal.com/blawgs/blawg100/students (I tried to insert the link as THIS. failed.)

anyhoo, in keeping with custom on here, I wanted to inform everyone that for dinner tonight I ate these morningstar farm buffalo wings. They may be shaped like buffalo wings, but don't be fooled - they're actually made of soy protein concentrate. And, instead of tasting like chicken, they taste like string! Incidentally, I also had these wings for breakfast this morning. Yum!!!

Lunch Hour

mmm delicious corn chowder

Lunch, Day 2

Alas, no Zeb review today. Instead I settled for homemade** mozzarella sticks. They were lukewarm, gooey, and desperately needed tomato sauce on the side. Note that none of those problems precluded me from shoving 10 down my gullet in approximately five minutes.

Note: actual mozzarella sticks not shown to scale.

** : and by homemade, I mean straight-out-a-bag-from-Costco. In fact, I just returned from a trip to pick up another 10 pound bag. What did people do before Costco!

Pungent Dinner

A fellow Profiterole is currently eating a pungent Meza Plate from IHouse. It smells delicious.

To Ponder

Where, oh where, did the Diet Coke bottle vending machine disappear to from the 2nd floor of Boalt? And more importantly, will it ever return?

Gossip Update

Spotted: A hiding from Haas guy on the floor of Zeb. Careful A, chicken salad isn't the only thing from China he wants.

(Edited b/c my copy editor is on vacation)

Your daily Zeb review

Today's Cobb Salad is unusually large and full of moist, plump chicken bits. Yes, perhaps a little light on the dressing, but nothing's perfect.

Nicely complimented by a chocolate muffin and a cold Diet Coke.



But beware!

They don't call it nature's little broom for nothing!
