I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

Ladies and gentlemen, Foo Fighters!

This always makes me laugh, Grohl is too fucking funny! Impersonation is bang on btw!

My all-time fave Foo Fighters song kickstarting Toronto Rogers Centre July 12 concert!

All my life I’ve been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing

Andytown

Google best coffee san fran, this one sits near the top of every list. And, I’d be damned if I didn’t visit a coffeehouse while in San Francisco… would be akin to visiting Germany w/o frothing suds! Check-out my route… 13.5 km (40 minutes… you’d shit at what it cost). And, because I detoured briefly to Lands End, I was able to jump out and onto a park bench for this cool pic of Golden Gate Bridge. Andytown is WAY out from Union Square, and for that, this was my most planned (and, greatest) venture! I snapped a pic from the street, then turned 90º west towards the Pacific Ocean and snapped another… it’s that freaking close to the coast! Oh, and I gave the barista carte blanche in making my drink. I know it’a mocha, w/ chocolate… and whipped cream! She asked me if I ever tried their whipped cream? I said no… she gave me a sample spoon! Awesome times!

33¢ burgers!

No shit… and times two = 66¢!! And, these are the best quality bad-boys (frozen) my local market has to offer… twenty bucks for six is regular price! You do the math. But, y’all know my shopping (finagling) skills by now… so, box cost me TWO BUCKS!!

… and, them’s the fancyshmancy Ace Bakery burger buns to boot too!

crouching tiger selfies!

… has been WAY too long, and was crouching, lol! will be my last at my beloved dirtydozenwick! and, will miss it so much, everything about it, the good (and, the bad), despite my love/hate… i will DEF miss my time/life these past two years! i was blessed to be here! and, i will forever be appreciative, and will never forget any of it… thank you! but soon this chapter closes, and a new one begins… that’s life folks. today, thought i better capture my remaining time as a personal momento (plus now, am hoping/wishing my new place is more favourable (lighting, no crouching, lol, etc.) for selfies!

meatballs w/ an oxtail kicker!

… that’s right!! started w/searing a beauty piece of oxtail before doin’ ma regular meatball thang (this is shit i make up as i go folks, i swear)… was looking to give that extra depth of flavour. is perfect when ya think ’bout it… my meatballs are veal & pork, the beef completes the meat trifecta – genius! btw, deglazed w/white wine too for more oomph! and, we chefs love oomph! purposely wasn’t shy using a shite-load of homemade sauce filled to the le creuset brim today either! why? how do you spell leftovers? l-e-f-t-o-v… never mind, lol! sides of creminis and hot (i mean, HOT) ontario peppers are the perfect compliment. at this point no skimping… olives too y’all! decided on my famous meatball sang today, provolone, romano def don’t hurt my fave/best (ok, ONE of, lol) italian meals ever! finished w/an obligatory splash of masi of course, and … roberto’s yer zio!!

round ‘n round we go!

Is how I’ve been… my brain frantically figuring out food for today! Thought I had it all set in stone last night too… Zin Zen was the plan, and don’t get me started on that one, woulda been the day of all days… the eats of all eats… the best $0.99 I ever spent! YES… 99¢ folks … y’all have no idea (OK, Caymus is a clue for sleuths in ya)!! But, Mother Nature stepped in (bitch… cunt, lol), and ultimately, ultra high humidity nixed it, nipped it in the bud! As a result, today dansplans kept changing, OVER AND OVER… at least dozen times! And, after much bustin’ brain against the wall (ok, pillow, lol), here is were we stand!

Fresh ground, hand formed burger, cremini ‘shrooms, heirloom tomato, swiss emmentaler, special sauce, on a buttered and grilled kaiser bun!

Verdict? Umm?!

… GUILTY!!
