today was just about the greatest food day ever. we did nothing else but eat. not remarkable of course since most of the time we do nothing but eat but today we ate well. really well. first off, we (les, vivian, melissa) went to the soup nazi on 55th and broadway. i've been wanting to go for two years but we've never gone. needless to say, the food was amazing. expensive but really really good. i had the seafood bisque and it was eleven bucks for a small but we got a little baggie with bread, fruits and a chocolate so it was well worth it. the guy looked mean. really mean. and he pointed you along after you put your money down. it's pretty fun, even for the stupid little thrill of saying "i've been to the soup nazi!"



after a short break, we went to mcdonald's for a little desert. fruit parfait for me and cookies and ice cream for leslie. gerard had a guy drop weights on him at the gym when he was trying to get spotted so his arms and chest were all sore but he braved the pain to come hang out with us. the big planned excursion for corn at cafe habana went off without a hitch. corn? how good can corn possibly be? damn good i tell you. if you're even a remote fan of corn, you have to try this stuff. it's grilled corn with parmesan cheese or something, served with some chili powder and some lime juice. it is quite frankly amazing.



to polish all this off, we went to get some malaysian at nyonya. mango chicken. pad thai. coconut rice. yam rice. pineapple rice served in a bamboo thing. succulent pork. hainan chicken. indian roti and curry dip. and on and on. we originally thought we had ordered way too many dishes but we ended up polishing everything up pretty good. we restaurant hopped all day. and it was much cheaper than going out clubbing. and much more satisfying. i think food is the only thing that brings continued enjoyment, time after time, without fail. without food......we would die.......brilliant.
