Today really should be a federal holiday. Not because it's immediately after the Superbowl, and we all have a hangover from celebrating our Puerto Rican heritage (not me, but I'm there in spirit) and got drunk out of our gourds (which that other performer, Bitch Rock, very likely did; he had one or two percent of the viewers and failed miserably), or because it's freezing cold in large parts of the country far from civilization (Northern California), or even because soon chocolate will be on sale (bachelor chocoholics are counting the days), but because it's National Pizza Day. And spiritually we're all fratboys one day of the year.
[It's like National Donut Day (Dutch American), but for everyone else.]
Plus pizza is the great American food.
It's what the pilgrims ate when they landed in Brooklyn.
It's good karma in a greasy easy form.
Feel the cheese. Be the cheese.
Let it's goodness flow.
Melt into it.
Let the pizza salve your soul and bring comfort.
Om, santi santi, om.
Actually, I may have pizza later. For lunch I had family style lotus root fish cakes (家鄉蓮藕魚餅 '
kaa heung lin ngau yü bing') which were delicious. The brand trademark is 鱻 ('
sin'), which is a different way of writing 鮮 ('
sin') meaning fresh, new, delicious, rare.
Indeed an appropriate appellation!
Bought the product on a whim last week. Yesterday evening, because my apartment mate had added more stuff to the household refrigerator, I couldn't find them. I mounted a more intense search this afternoon in the bowels of the ice box, and finally found 'em hidden underneath sausages and behind some polpette. And I'm very glad I did.
Most of the fish balls and similar products are hers. If I asked I'm sure she'd allow me to have some, seeing as she's worried that the 'Old Toad' (me) is a bit on the scrawny side.
But I specifically wanted to try these puppies out.
I shall recommend them to her.
