sewing the seeds of the citrus vegetable
The question was posed "hey Matt, is a lime a fruit or a vegetable?" Brian immediately volunteered that "limes are vegetables." I of course backed this information, stating that it was indeed a citrus vegetable. Han confirmed as well. Our faithful idiot then asked about green peppers. I explained that technically anything that is the result of pollination is the fruit of the plant, but generally, green peppers are considered vegetables, though they are very sweet. I can not wait to see what happens when he tells his storeroom/product identification chef that limes are vegetables. To be fair, he was at his laptop and should know enough to look it up. google "lime" and the second word that comes up is "fruit." The saying is "fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me." By now, everything that we lend our special brand of misguidance to, is definitely his fault.

how do blog?
Welcome to my head. I will make this easy, I'm just going to share with you a review I posted on opentable. I'm doing this because 1) it's easy, and 2) I'm lazy. It will also expose you to one of my favorite/least favorite topics, my jackass roommate. This is the review that I left for Gracie's, one of the most refined restaurants in the area...
Went for restaurant week with a couple of friends. One, a roommate at scool, is suspected of having a severe mental deficiency, and had never been to what we would call a "nice" restaurant. He tore through each course as though it were a timed competition, and when aske how he liked it declared that it was "way better than Olive Garden." I agree, it is much better than OG, and they have a 35 dollar prix fixe option available all year making fine food accessible. Very well executed. There was also an exploding champagne bottle to liven things up. I can't wait to dine with people more familiar with real food! Also, four different house-made selections in their bread service.
This is noy the finest example of spelling, but I blame the phone I was typing on. Get it together, Apple, this is why nobody's buying your shit!
