Rusty and I make our respective dinners and enjoy it during Kitchen Nightmares. Fried pork chops & mashed tators for Russ and beer steamed salmon w/ bak choy for me. Look at my meal. I don’t know if Chef Ramsey would approve.
Handsome salmon steak from An’s Seafood.
Got the urge for curry goat roti after trying a co-workers’ a while back and recently seeing it on one of my fav food blogs. Really tasty. I have half of it left for tomorrow’s lunch. Can’t wait to go to work.

Yoshie organizes another Ramen & Friends outing at this dessert bar that also has savory dishes. The chicken & tofu sliders taste just like White Castle, but in a good way that makes you think they’re awesome. One time Rusty made some plain egg noodles with butter and coriander seeds. It tasted just like McDonald’s breakfast sausage but it was awesome maybe because it did.
Afterwards I meet up at Grace’s office going away party at Slate. Then headed over to Bar 13, but instead headed for the border.

On set with Rik Cordero’s Q-Tip video, the day after he just shot Busta Rhyme’s video. Very cool how big time he’s getting. I come by to pluck some hot bass lines on Dan’s upright and tear up craft services. This studio in Greenpoint is pretty neat. There’s all these different rooms for shooting …castle, geisha, robinson crusoe and most of them had jacuzzis. I feel like you can make a scary wax museum movie …or a sexy wax museum movie.
Getting makeup done is pretty sweet. Shiho, the makeup girl gives me a very nice facial massage with some silky moisturizer. It wasn’t as nice when I realized everyone else got one.
The shoot is fun. Got to play dress up. There’s a cute girl that I’ve met before who I sincerely asked if she was in the adult film industry. She turned red. I’m not so sure if that’s a good pickup line. Well her and Freddy play Native American Indians in this Q-Tip video. Someone asked Freddy if he was going to go shirtless. He got embarrassed. I turned to the girl and asked her if she was. Again, maybe not a good pickup line.

passed by 2 bros pizza plus which looks like mario and luigi or what my next door neighbor called “super merrio brahs”. everything is a dolla. pizza a dolla. fried chicken’s a dolla. sides are a dolla. i remember the first time i went into a dollar store, i was confused because nothing had pricetags …and i’d keep bringing stuff up to the cashier to ask how much it was. now you have these 99cent stores in new york, but nothing is 99cents. it all costs something else.
…anyway everything at 2 brahs is $1, except jerk chicken. it’s $2 dolla.
and got to check out pulse park in madison square park. lights all set up on the lawn and pulse at night. i can’t figure how to play it. it’s like mario brahs for the first time.

anders manly graciously hosts tigers and monkeys & justice of the unicorns in philly. dan makes a surprise appearance. we at the venue and have a lot of fun. we try to foodblog a philly cheesesteak but everything is closed. it’s funny that you have to drive really far out of the city to find a place to eat off the highway.
Anders Manly - thanks!

good friend and one-half of white on white rice gets married at the botanical gardens in brooklyn. the bride and groom look awesome. a lot of fun. i love the cocktail hour. great hor dourves. i kept having people hold my filet mignon hor dourve to take a photo, but then they tell me that i shouldn’t probably eat it after they held it for good reasons… that and they kept dropping it. i finally find a filet mignon hor dourve later on and then almost drop it. tasty like arbys on a crouton.
a ton of fun during the pants off dance off. i am now positive i finally got my groove back and more.

running into a bunch of neighbors at the voting polls. don’t think all these youngsters are listening to anthony robbins like i am on my mp3 player, but i can tell we all want to be here to vote. our patriotic dinner party consisted of mac & cheese, hot dogs, tator tots, and black-eyed peas for good luck. walk up to the second floor party. i come to understand them and i see the hope they have for the future.
