(Burgers, fried chicken, and the like obviously don't fall into this category.)<br /><br />Yeah, why ARE bookstore employees so disagreeable? Seems like a pretty great job to me - surrounded by books all day long.<br /><br />And yes, city life has definitely dialled up my fight-or-flight instincts at the expense of a certain amount of empathy. I saw this guy on the metro a few weeks ago who seriously looked like a zombie. He had no shoes on, and he was staggering around and drooling, but not in a drunk way. Mostly I was worried he'd lurch in my direction, but when he finally exited the train, I started to wonder what his story was, and felt sad for the guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778802865313625485.post-77599255550782938662011-10-20T09:08:56.376-07:002011-10-20T09:08:56.376-07:00Sue: I know those brussels sprouts AND those ravio...Sue: I know those brussels sprouts AND those ravioli--both great! <br /><br />Zoomie: Yeah, I used to work around there too, on Eddy & Van Ness--gross!

Just mad. I got used to seeing women pee in the gutter, drug deals being made and drunks passed out in doorways, but those pink undies would truly have creeped me out.Zoomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474153316588551039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778802865313625485.post-20010513442405833222011-10-20T04:38:42.631-07:002011-10-20T04:38:42.631-07:00This post has so many aspects to comment on!

Giada is pretty great.<br />The mere mention of Pasta Pomodoro set my heart racing. We used to live a block away from one and it closed! I was heartbroken, they had the best roasted Brussels sprouts and butternut squash ravioli with brown butter sage sauce...<br />I left city life a year ago and I know just what you mean about needing to make quick and accurate assessments of dicey situations. That's one aspect of city life I definitely do not miss.Sue/the view from great islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366703419148959445noreply@blogger.com
