Happy belated Valentine's Day everyone, I hope everyones VD was an abstinent one. On second thought, I really don't care. What did I do on Valentine's Day? I'm glad you asked!
Sou and I went to this really ghetto mall, for no apparent reason other than wanting to get out of the apartment and do something. Yeah, this place was all fucked up. The highlight of the entire mall was their world reknown food court. It was a cultural melting pot of all of these brilliant flavors infused in a decrepit swap meet of commerce. OKAY, IT WASN'T THAT BAD.
I would say the majority of our time was spent contemplating on what to eat, pacing back and forth through the food court. You had your basic staples there, your Hot Dog on a Stick, Panda Express, Sbarro Pizza. And then you had Mexican Dan's. Wow, I couldn't pass that opportunity up. Americanized Mexican food, with some random Iranian guy behind the counter offering samples of dried up chicken, trying to make sales. Or would that make it Iranianized? Anyhow, I ordered the two taco combination plate, I felt as if that was a safe bet. Being the fact that I've never had the place before.
And I gotta tell ya, I think salt pellets have less of a sodium content. The food was so freakin' salty that I couldn't finish it. And that's an overstatement, because I am a taco whore. So, a gallon of Coke later, I finished a third of my meal and that was pretty much it. I should have stuck to my first intuition and had what Sou ordered, a Philly Cheesesteak.
Now, before you bombard me with death threats on Xanga about what a lame ass Valentine's Day I had. Let me assure you, we did go out to a REAL eatery the day before Valentine's Day to avoid the influx of people who were going to eat out that day.
Sou, Doug and I (Yes, Doug came), went out toBillingsleys Steak House. It's a place that we recently discovered that is owned and operated by family of the legendary Barbara Billingley.
For
those youngins out there not familiar with whom she is, she was the mother in Leave it to Beaver. Not
to mention having the most awesome cameo appearence in the movie Airplane.
But I digress, I was starstruck for a mere moment there. The food was wonderful. I ordered the Prime Rib and it was cooked perfectly. Moist, tender and flavorful. It was accompanied with a baked potato and cole slaw. Sou ordered the teriyaki chicken. Now, why you're going to order an Asian chicken in an American steakhouse is beyond me. But she told me that it was good and that she'd order it again. And Doug ordered water and had the cole slaw that I opted not to eat and gave it to him as a hand me down. No, I'm not that cruel. He ordered the Top Sirloin and he said that it was tasty. But I felt obligated to discard whatever opinion he had since he's the guy who eats lawry salt on top of Japanese rice.
All in all it was a great meal, much better than that damn Mexican Dan's. If I come across a Mexican guy named Dan, I'm going to shovel salt down his throat, kick him in the groin and take his $7.58. That's what I call payback beeeeyatch.
Valentine day? SIngle Awareness Day? S.A.D blah.. I actually had an enjoyable one this year... I swear the sun is gonna melt.
