1. Today I was on standby for jury duty but luckily I did not have to go!
2. I dragged JoeJoe into my insanity today by letting him accompany me to the Taste for lunch.
3. Despite the fact that I have millions of things to do I went over to MK's to watch Top Gear tonight...of course, I ended up just bringing my laptop and working the whole time...I have no idea what went on in that episode...

I don't feel like making another post today, so I'm just adding to this one. I have discovered that the absolute maximum anyone can make it to the taste is 8 times. Between the rain and the 3 hours of sleep I'm working on I just couldn't make it after work. So here's my little lunch, and my last taste of the year:
Steak Burger with Blue Cheese and mustard sauce (Tutto Italiano), Hand-cut Sweet Potato Fries (Hashbrowns)

Yeah... the beef teriyaki looks kinda wrong in the setting you took the picture.
I'm glad you put down what it was you had :)
So far... what was your favorite?

I noticed the beef looking....um...dirty as well.

haha. i did not :-)
The beef actually tasted pretty bad. Really dry.
Crab legs and fried artichokes are always my favorite.
That pizza was good.
So was the salmon.
Overall everything is too expensive and I am not that impressed.
But a goal is a goal.
Remind me next year that this was the stupidest scheme ever :-)
