special report from your waffle correspondents.

we had about 45 other topics* we were planning to write about, but as we know how much our dear readers love their battered breakfast cakes, i had to report the latest on nyc's waffle scene.

swoon.

two waffle trucks and a waffle store and talk of waffle wars! we're hoping they aim a giant batter-filled cannon right at our apartment.

while on the topic of food, i just came from a lunch seminar where they specified that you can bring a "brown bag lunch". they wrote this in the email that invited us all, and then when i responded to say i would be attending, one of the coordinators then responded to thank me and tell me to feel free to bring my "brown bag lunch" and eat it during the presentation. ok. why can't i just bring lunch? did it matter if we toted it in a recycled bag? what if i had carried in a tupperware? why the unnecessary use of all those adjectives?



*more like two, but we will get to them at some point this week.

It's 20 past 11 here and I have a craving for waffles now.

Can I be bothered to make the 10 minute walk to Tescos in the rain…

the tyranny of the "brown bag lunch" = appalling!

itm - isn't it? i hope in your part of the office they let you bring lunches in whatever color bags you wish.
