PAD THAI & BODY PARTS WITH ANDREW ZIMMERN SALIVATING AT THE NEXT TABLE MAKES TOFU LOOK APPEALING





 Inspired by the hand-made noodle-making on an episode of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown....even after seeing them, served with hare brains eaten with bunny rabbit jaw bones; bird intestines ripped from the abdomens of still-breathing fowls; and sea cucumbers, poached in coagulated osprey's blood.....I made some pad thai with tofu and shrimp to frustrate the hot chili fire gods with my blander 4 am supplication........now....it's both bed time and breakfast time.....and the time-confusions of a man, unhitched from normal sleep patterns....by 11 a.m....there'll be a zombie in the mirror and coffee in the cup.......by 8 p.m.....I'll be sleeping through the presidential dog fight....

THE TOUTED LARGESSE OF MEDIOCRITY....

  a visit, yesterday afternoon, to what used to be Loehmann's Plaza......now, renamed a more 'fashionable' Brighten Park...brought about a 'dinner stop' at "Eataliano-Kitchen-Atlanta", where our waitress insured us that this was the 'best Italian restaurant in Atlanta'........The food was a bit disgusting, however....... I asked "Are your chicken wings as good as the ones at Thaicoon...down the street? "...... So, minutes later a plate of greasy, underseasoned 'wings' appeared, accompanied by some wilted, tasteless 'celery sticks' and rubbery 'carrot sticks' and a bowl of el cheapo ranch dressing.....the 'commercial' kind that comes in those huge plastic jars..........ugh!......then come the desserts.......my dinner companion had a sugary chocolate brownie...made, of course, from a commercial mix.....(add water and, maybe, an egg and a cup of saturated liquid fat......probably corn oil), dump on some
