the wrong crowd

[lauralh]

Our karaoke CDs didn't work for some reason. Suck. So I just did "Mysterious Ways" and "Magic Man." I was a little drunk, as I'm dieting and had a Cadillac. Steve and I had stopped drinking them there, because, well, duh. Too strong. And we'd forgotten how strong. Still, it's a good deal to get you in the mood quick.

Tequila has that effect on me still. Or maybe it's just karaoke. Hm, I dunno. It's nice not to be maudlin at karaoke anymore though. Those two months were shit. Maybe I should have been maudlin but I flirted with the foreigners and others so I was ok. I was in complete tease mode but I think no one really cared. Or they were just too passive-aggressive to call me out. Whatever.

I forgot to defrost chicken. Maybe I'll scramble an egg. Or have a cheese sandwich. (My diet is like anti-atkins, brown rice/whole wheat bread, and one serving of protein a day.) I actually made some really damn good chicken the other day, homemade rub of just um, a bunch of spices* thrown together with a bit of flour, then use cooking spray to fry it on medium heat. I was totally worried about using flour re: calories, but the serving size is twice what I put in for a hundred calories, and you don't use all the flour, nor does one person eat it all. So it's no big deal, and it came out really juicy, and smelling up the whole house like chicken.


* garlic powder, paprika, salt, lemon pepper, cumin, basil, more or less.

"Cadillac"? I am not familiar with this.

Huh. You should give Ruby Tuesdays a shot. 32 oz, blue, and at some places you get gummy fish swimming in the bottom.

are you trying to kill me?

I don't know that those exist on the west coast, anyways. I stick to Friday's.

Ugh.

God. Do you actually eat anything there? I mean, both places are sketchy, but TGI Friday's can be abominable.


Thirty-two ounces of margarita (or megarita, if you will) never killed anyone. Now, when I conned them into giving me two and following up with a 16 oz one... that was pushing it a bit.

um...

I have been to Ruby Tuesday's, and unless they've undergone a massive change, Friday's is superior in food quality.

Friday's actually has undergone a massive change (they don't wear FLAIR anymore!) which I suspect is due to Office Space.

But anyway, how can you say no to the potato skins or chicken deep fried with Jack Daniel's sauce??

Ours is sleazy as fuck. Maybe it is just a matter of location since the two Ruby Tuesdays we patronize are in upper scale areas while the only TGI Fridays I know about is in a sleazier strip mall region.

Regardless, we had an evening of shared digestive distress following our last two outings there. Admittedly, I probably should not have tried the bizarre wasabi tuna sandwich thingy. I guess my warning sign was the fact that it tasted like shit.
