First off today I would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to the Rev. Dark Wombat. Be sure to wish him one as well. Speaking of RDW, he is currently on vacation and if any one would like to talk to him, perhaps to wish him a happy birthday face to face, just send him an email (reverendwombat@gmail.com) to arrange a time to meet him on Skype.

Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I spent some time making turtle plates and handbuilt mugs. I ate a waffle cone with a double scoop of pistachio almond ice cream. A note about ice cream in summertime: double is scoop is fine if you are eating at the ice cream place, but do not take it outside. This will cause you to eat the ice cream very fast to avoid excessive drippage and you will give yourself subsequent brain freeze and stomach cramps. Also, that’s a lot of dairy to be consuming in temperatures exceeding 40°C. Bad news Cathy, I know him.

After work, I came home with no desire whatsoever to turn on the stove. This happened for two reasons:

1) It is bloody hot both inside the house and outside it.

2) It is so hot that I, and this saying something, had no appetite.

So, I decided that I should probably work on this week’s article instead. Once I had knocked that out, I went to by to see Jesus for some groceries for Operation B. Since his blood cells’ kung fu is weak and ineffectual like young girl, I thought perhaps getting a lot of heavy processed protein was in order. Plus, I scored myself some taquitos. Y-e-e-e-e-s-s-s-s!

This Friday I am supposed to be getting together with my editor, Mike Tango, to discuss the possibilities of me writing an additional monthly article for the City Wire. The type of article where I actually have to talk to people and ask them questions. I’m envisioning, as Pancake Land so delicately put it, something like Inside the Actor’s Studio but with food instead of acting. Anyways, I’m looking for interesting questions to bring as possibilities for the articles. Some of the question ideas that I’ve already received are:

What would be your last meal if you were on death row?

If you were trapped on a desert island, what 3 foods would you want with you?

What is your favorite food in hot/cold weather?

What is was your favorite food as a child?

What do you consider to be American food?

What food do love to eat, but regret it later?

That is just a few of the ideas so far. If you have any ideas for questions, feel free to email them to me at sandwichcontrol at gmail dot com (sandwichcontrol@gmail.com). I would really appreciate the feedback and help. Thanks in advance.

Well, I’ve got to go get ready for work. Perhaps I can convince Operation B to finally change out of that t-shirt he’s been wearing since Monday that has blood all over the front of it. sigh. More soon. ~SC
