Saturday, April 19, 2003 The Pitch: Man, there are times I'd sooner shoot myself than try to come up with a pitch! Depending on how you look at it, I either had an underachieving lunch or an overachieving lunch. On the underachieving side, I didn't do any writing, merely sat out in the sun (when I could) and read Eugenides' Middlesex. That was it.On the overachieving side, I ate lunch. Twice. Cherry went to Shalimar on her lunch and brought back garlic naan and palak paneer for me. It was a little pricey (nine dollars for just the two items) but they were good: lots of fresh spices in the palak paneer and the garlic naan, although only one medium-sized disk could be pulled open to show a lumpy quilt of chopped garlic. Then, after I was through with that, I went to lunch. I don't think I've covered here the slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship I've established with my regular lunch place, but let's say I would have felt like I was cheating if I hadn't eaten there. And the idea was to order the salmon box, eat a minimum and either toss the rest or keep it for a late afternoon snack. Sadly, I was reading and it was sunny...dear reader, I have no excuse...I ate lunch twice, and there's an ambitious dinner on the table when I get home tonight...something about Christ's hopscotch from martyr to religious saviour made me weak on this day...I don't know what to tell you. Except I ate lunch twice, and now I'm basically twice as sleepy, twice as lazy, twice as bleary. Otherwise, I'd quote at length from the Shalimar Times, the take-out menu disguised as newspaper that Cherry brought with the meal. My favorite headline is "Just say 'no' to some popular ways of spending an evening. Visit Shalimar instead at anyone one of the four (4) locations." The above-listed sloth prohibits me from trying to parse the subtext there. posted by Jeff Lester | 3:42 PM | |
