I cursed the gods at the grocery store yesterday when I had to decide between it and Diet Coke with Splenda for my week's soda supply. What hellish choice is this? P.S. I like Dr. Pepper so I cannot be in your secret club. But I've eaten pie with you and your sister so I figure I've had my run.Wade Rocketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785499425476736769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11656757.post-1125424204773804642005-08-30T10:50:00.000-07:002005-08-30T10:50:00.000-07:00I work at a restaurant that serves fried calamari,...I work at a restaurant that serves fried calamari, often as the guy actually frying it. And though I like eating it myself when I go out, I <B><I>hate</I></B> when people order it. You can't keep it raw for more than about a day and a half without it going bad, and even before it goes bad, it smells like a wharf that hasn't been cleaned in weeks. You have to change gloves before and after you make it (not actually a huge deal, but when I've got fifteen orders to make simultaneously (only one of which is calamari) the slightest slowdown is resented--not just by me, but by the waitstaff, the head cook, and the manager). The tiniest drip from it on any surface other than the floor has to be cleaned off with diluted bleach--and being so slimy, it drips a lot. And the batter gets on everything, too, so that has to be cleaned off as well. It's just annoying unless you just have one person who does nothing else except make it.<BR/><BR/>It is a tasty treat, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11656757.post-1125328396931011542005-08-29T08:13:00.000-07:002005-08-29T08:13:00.000-07:00I like Dr. Pepper.Coincidentally I had pork ribs f...I like Dr. Pepper.<BR/><BR/>Coincidentally I had pork ribs for lunch yesterday at the West LA Farmer's Market.
