I went to Toast Box again.

Toast box set

If it weren't for the coffee (even if it's bad for me) I wouldn't have gone. Plus I was craving toast with butter and sugar. It's crazy that I would want to buy toast with butter and sugar when it's so easy to make. The thing is, my taste buds tell me that the ones I have to pay for taste better than what I could make, or get my mom to make. I know, crazy.

I didn't like that my toast looks a little burnt. Not very tasty looking (it tasted fine, btw).

That soy sauce looking thing with that beige powder on it tasted funky! I think you're supposed to use it with the eggs. I tried but it really left a nasty taste in my mouth and it smelled really funky so I pushed it away.

And I was really counting on the eggs still being in their shell so I could drink it from the shell. They used to give the eggs like that, I'm not sure why they changed it. I saw the guy cracking open the eggs and placing it in that dish and then nuking it. I've only been to Toast Box three times before (yesterday was the fourth) and I had gotten used to my eggs being in their shells. I'm not sure how you call eggs not fully boiled, but boiled enough so that you won't have to eat them raw. I like the taste of eggs done that way, and I remember my mom giving us eggs like that when we were sick when we were kids.

Anyway, I think, if I remember it right, the Toast Box is some Singaporean restaurant they brought over here. They have other stuff besides toast. They have this Vietnamese (or maybe it's Singaporean?) noodle dish, plus I remember seeing Nasi Lemak or something similar on the menu. I've never tried those things. I go here mainly for the toast and coffee. They do their coffee with condensed milk! It tastes yummy. I wish I'd bought some beans from them, and maybe made coffee for myself at work. Just a fourth of a cup.

Losing Weight the Right Way?

nobody@vox.com(Jaime) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 04:09:08 +0000

Skinny Bitch

Kim Barnouin

What exactly is losing weight the right way? Recently, I came into a set of books. With my cousin moving away, she was tossing out a lot of her books, and before doing so, she let me raid her bookcase of the books she was not taking with her. One of the books that came to me was Skinny Bitch. I really didn't know what the book was about when I took it, but I picked it up the other day and started reading it. Turned out it was a diet book about the "proper" way to lose weight.

It covered things like what to eat, what not to eat, mentality, exercise and what not. It included topics such as organic food, trash for the body, and what a person could do to change their lifestyle, which would lead to weight-loss. It's not a bad read, but I don't know how much of it I agree with, or even believe. Although they do promote a balanced diet, and shoot down such fads as the Atkins Diet, some of the stuff they said were not all that practical, whether it be for financial reasons, or simply because the food they ask for are not necessarily available in places outside of major US cities.

Now, I really don't want to give away too many details to the book, so I'll stop here in that regards. But I seriously wonder about all the books that are out there that talk about dieting, and all the fad diets that are present in our soceity. What is it about us nowadays that want to be skinny? What is it that makes us want to subject ourselves to crazy diets, depraving ourself of food, etc? And why is it that what we love to eat make us fat?

White Bean Salad with Fresh Herbs and Olives

nobody@vox.com(Margy) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 01:25:08 +0000

White Bean Salad

Fabulous! A perfect balance of Mediterranean flavors. The beans are lemony without being tart and the garlic and herbs add subtle but unmistakable undertones. Excellent with any kind of grilled or broiled red meat, poultry or shrimp. I'm afraid it's one of those dishes that won't last very long, especially once my husband gets to the leftovers tomorrow!

Dinner!

3 cups cooked and drained white beans (canned okay). If made from dried beans, save about 1/3 cup of cooking liquid.

2 tbs fruity extra-virgin olive oil.

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary

1/2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme

Scant 1/3 cup bean cooking liquid, water or chicken broth

1/2 cup black olives, pitted and chopped (can also use whole)

3 tbs chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

4 large fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces or chopped

2 - 3 tbs fresh lemon juice

1/2 tsp salt or to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Place the beans in a medium non-stick skillet and set aside.

Prepare herb mixture. Combine olive oil and garlic in a small skillet and cook on low heat until garlic is soft, about 3 minutes.

Increase heat slightly and add rosemary and thyme. Cook until the herbs begin to sizzle and little bubbles dance around them - do not let garlic burn.

Add the bean cooking liquid (or other stock) and olives, increase heat and boil for two minutes. Remove from heat.

Scatter the parsley and basil over the beans in the other skillet. Pour the dressing over them and cook over medium-high heat until the liquid is almost all absorbed by the beans.

Remove from heat and add the lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Dark Knight!!

nobody@vox.com(StarkTony) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:59:45 +0000

In what could possibly be the best movie of the year, the Dark Knight blew me away. I was nervous going in because the level of expectation I had was so high. It met and surpassed every expectation I had before half the movie was over. Heath Ledger's joker is disturbing and crazy and fantastic. I already went to see it again but the show was sold out. I went with a big group of my friends on the Thursday night/Friday Morning premiere. Each of my friends are Young Life leaders at various schools in the area and each brought a ton of kids. Between all of us there were probably over 100 people with us. I brought 3 guys from Turpin where I do YL. We stopped at Target on the way there and loaded up on snacks and each got a drink for movie. My backpack wasn't big enough for all of it so we jammed most of it into one of the girl's baggallini bags because it was huge. Why girls carry the huge bags, I will never know but thank God they carry them now or else we would have had to watch Batman kick butt with out two boxes of swiss cake roles. The crowd at the batman premiere was a very interesting one. There were obviously people dressed like Batman and the Joker. There were my favorite kids who hang out at the movie theater every weekend. They seem to have alot in common with Batman because they dress similarly. If you look, Batman wears mens goth boots, all black, a cape, only goes out at night. These kids are always dressed like him. When the movie was over I didn't even know what to do. My body was just tensed up and I couldn't move. I can't wait till that comes out on DVD. I won't give anything away but if I did and you are mad. . . Why so serious?

What has Pech been eating?

nobody@vox.com(pechluck) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:11:54 +0000

Aw, what a crappy summer day. I woke up in the very early hours because there was so much thunder. It is still wet and grey and gloomy and humid out there. I was going to see Batman (and walk all the way over there), but I think I will skip that and just go straight to my tea meeting.

Tea meeting? That's right, there's a group of a few girls meeting for tea at the W. I thought it sounded intriguing: "Think afternoon tea is only complete with miniature watercress sandwiches and white-gloved service for dainty ladies? Think again! WAVE restaurant is redefining afternoon tea by tempting both girls and guys to partake in a "Uni-Tea" experience beginning April 30th, 2008. Sure you'll find tea, but you'll also find tea-infused vodka elixirs (Mar-TEA-nis), plenty of bubbly and a selection of hand-crafted brews in the form of beer for the boys.WAVE's resident "Spice Girl"" Executive Chef Kristine Subido, has created The Teatotaler, a selection of savory and sweet bites to satisfy any appetite.

For $30 per person, The Teatotaler menu includes: A selection of five savory small bites (guest choose either the "Gals" or "Guys" menu); sweets accompanied by Devonshire cream, lemon curd and jam; an individual pot of hot tea (13 varieties are offered from green, oolong and herbal blends) or an iced tea of the day.

Tempting bites include:
Gals
Brie, basil and roasted tomato grilled brioche
Smoked salmon and roasted fennel cannolli
Bleu cheese and red grape cannolli
Chilled shrimp and cucumber salad on rosemary bread
Curry deviled eggs

Guys
Beef tartar toasts with white truffle drizzle
Grilled beef tenderloin and dried fruit chutney
Mini Angus beef sliders with bread and butter pickles
Sea salt and parmesan frites with lemon aioli
Serrano ham, quince and manchego grilled brioche

Sweets
Macaroons- sea salt and caramel, lemon, chocolate and berry
Scones- butter and orange-vanilla
Madeleine- vanilla and orange zest
Market fresh fruit tarts
Tea cakes- lemon-poppy seed and chocolate chip

And for the non-teetotaller, the following beverage additions are available to The Teatotaler experience:

- Mar-TEA-ni - Choose from Raspberry Nectar, White Ginger Pear or Citrus Mint tea-infused elixirs paired with Grey Goose Vodka for an extra $10 per person.

- Bubbly TEA - Add a little life to your tea party and enjoy a glass of Moet Chandon White Star or Schramsberg Rose for an extra $12 per person.

- Masculini-TEA - A different kind of brew for the boys! Enjoy one of a selection of four handcrafted beers like Goose Island Matilda or Chimay Triple for an extra $8 per person."

In other food news, I visited Mexique recently based on a write-up in Time Out Chicago, but was not as impressed as I had been expecting from the somewhat rave review (the writer focused on praising the Mexican flavors, even though this is supposedly Mexican French fusion). I did go there their opening week though, so maybe they have worked out some kinks since then- when I went they didn't have an online presence and two weeks later they do, and more write-ups in the local news, and the menu they list some online looks like got some tweaks. Anyway, the first weekend of July, I went for lunch, and I had some tacos (Cochinita Pibil with purple pickle onion and mango habanero couli- all I tasted with the pork and onion, and Duck Leg Confit with roasted onion and pineapple relish- again the meat, this time juicy duck was the main flavor profile and I was expecting a bit more citrus acid from the pineapple relish but this was not bad at all, I would have it again) and also the chorizo, asparagus, and cheddar cheese quiche which turned out to be more egg than kick from chorizo and I wondered where the asparagus was hiding. The chorizo was executed just as a thin layer of meat underneath the quiche crust. Yep. At least it was good exercise since I walked all the way there (a couple mile) to the restaurant, and then from there took myself to Wall E and then walked back to my apartment, which adds up.

I also took myself to brunch at Sepia, which I have been meaning to do for a few months and it's only a 5 minute walk away between my apartment and Steven's. It is not really a cheap brunch (especially considering Lou Mitchell's and Meli's are right around the corner from me), but it had two home runs. First, there's Sepia's bacon bloody mary: house made celery salt on the brim of a bloody mary, vodka is infused with bacon and the in-house smokey chunky spicy bloody mary mix. Awesome. And it has a good kick! I would have had another if I wasn't already buzzing. To go along with this, I ordered Sepia's humongous smoked salmon brioche sandwich with applewood smoked bacon, gruyere and a side of duck fat crisped potatoes. I also got an additional order of these potatoes and I was not sorry. I think I'd try something else besides the sandwich though- it was too much for me, and although I did like the bread I wanted to taste less bread and more of all the great ingredients inside. They also put in way too many raw onions

And one more meal! I went to Joy Yee's for dinner with my parents on Friday, and then again with my parents and Steven on Sunday. We went to the updated location in new Chinatown, and I had to pose with some of the humongous new offerings this location has (Vietnamese noode bowls, rice bowls with two soft shell crabs or giant prawn, etc). Hee.

My mom loves the Korean bbq beef spare ribs here- they are really a huge portion.

nobody@vox.com(E) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:57:18 +0000

Well, it's Saturday and I'm passing the time in a most leisurely way. I woke up insanely early - 4:35/5:00 - because I was dying of thirst. I couldn't go back to sleep right away, but I eventually did and I got some good sleep. When I got up, I went over to Au Bon Pain to get some breakfast for my bf and I. Mmmm, bagel sandwiches! Now we're just hanging out, messing around on our computers like the nerdy types we are. It's so disgustingly hot outside that I don't want to leave the building until dark.

Last night we went to sushi at our favorite place. It was so amazingly delicious. My favorite part was the oshinko. There is seriously little else as tasty as Japanese pickles. We had sake and edamame and Japanese beer and plum wine! I got my usual vegetable rolls, and I also had some of his Albacore nigiri and Yellowtail roll. I was pretty proud of myself for trying it again, and it really was quite delicious. One of the really great things about that restaurant is their soy sauce. I've read that the process of making soy sauce is really intensive and requires a lot of time for aging, etc. Their soy sauce is so delicious that it makes the already great food taste even better. Yummmmmm...

Sushi!

Weekend Reading, Volume 9

nobody@vox.com(Jay) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 13:05:59 +0000

Roger Ebert writes about movies that hurt too much to watch. I can't bring myself to re-watch either Brokeback Mountain or Schindler's List. Brokeback breaks my heart or, rather, reminds me too much of my broken heart. And there's the recent loss of Heath Ledger, too. My feelings about Schindler's List are a little bit complicated. At the theater, I cried so much that I considered leaving; I felt like I was bothering everyone else. It wasn't so much the inhumanity depicted in the film, though there was that, of course. I was crying in response to the good things that some characters did, at enormous risk to themselves. It's a manipulative film, spectacularly so. (Link via PeaceBang)

Mamihlapinatapai: (Yaghan) a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start; eye-contact implying 'after you...'; ending up mutually at a loss as to what to do about each other (Link via Kottke)

In Japan, Buddhism is one the wane, according to this NYT story. I've always really appreciated the "easygoing, buffetlike approach to religion" taken by the Japanese. We Americans could learn something from that.

When I was a kid, way before it was cool, my dad was an organic gardener. We lived out in the sticks, and no one else got it. At all. Least of all me. So, anyway, this list in the NYT of the 11 best foods we aren't eating has some, er, special resonance for me. Actually, though, I already like, and eat, several of these foods. But Swiss chard?! Please, God, please tell me I had enough of that stuff in my childhood to last a lifetime. Please.

And another NYT story that I can recommend this week—can you tell what I was reading this week?—details the recent collapse of catfish farming in Mississippi. Times are hard in the Delta. Eat more catfish, people! (Check out the cool slideshow accompanying the story, too.)
