Luther

Just the other day I saw this picture of a 1 pound bacon cheeseburger on a Krispy Kreme donut. Definitely food porn to some, but It made me sick. I HATE anything greasy and sloppy like this.

Upon looking at other pictures on the same site I saw that this burger is also called the Luther Burger after the now-deceased R&B singer, Luther Vandross. That made me kind of mad. Poor guy.

We went to the NYS Fair yesterday. We go every year, and every year it's basically the same, but less, somehow. I always walk away feeling like there's less to see, and not really anything new or exciting. Jerry ran into a couple of people he knew, and we stopped by to see my old boss, who runs like 6 or 7 stands in the Dairy building. I always joke with him that they are going to have to change the name of the building if he starts up any more businesses in there!

He LOVES Jerry. Let me preface that by saying that this guy is Lebanese and he grew up with all those middle eastern ideas about women, etc. I notice that whenever we see him, he is happy to see me, but bursting with happiness to see Jerry. They stand there and talk about business-blah-blah-blah......and because they work for rival companies there is always an element of slyness to their conversation. (especially when they ask each other "How's business?")

My last picture relates to my old boss. At one of his food stands at the Fair he is selling this item called a Roast Beef Sundae. People are making such a fuss over it. The local TV stations are covering it!

Basically mashed potatoes with beef in gravy sprinkled with cheddar cheese and a cherry tomato on top.

I went to the Indian Market today and got some garbanzo beans, spices and some hair oil . they just opened this place and it seems like a neat place to stock up on foods I cannot find anywhere else around here.

They had some jewelry (about 5 lakh necklaces). I hope they eventually get more.

Jerry's gone for a couple of days. he woke me up early this morning, and It was way to early to go to the supermarket, so I watched that old movie THE PICKUP ARTIST with Molly Ringwald and Robert Downey jr. I swear I have arrested development because every movie I enjoy is fit for a 13-year old.
