Do you dig graves? (REDUX)

6.2.2015  (originally posted this meeting day, 2008)

It's been more frequent than not lately that I write the Venue Announcement over my lunch break and so I'll dedicate this VA to lunch itself.

I have a couple favorite things to do for lunch. I like to take it as late as possible. I learned a long time ago that a late lunch makes the end of the day seem to come more quickly, so I generally don't eat until after 1pm, even later if possible.

I also like, scratch that, LOVE to have BFL. That, if you and I have never lunched together, stands for Breakfast For Lunch. Sure, people have been eating breakfast foods for lunch and even dinner for a meeeelion years, but have they held it in such reverence that they built it into an institution? I wouldn't think so.

Lastly, I love to ask Alan to find out what goes into a "Kari's Favorite" style sandwich when he rings me on his cell either on his way to or at Cafe Moda in SF. We went to Moda damn-near every day for years when we worked together at the sawmill, and if I wasn't having a tuna on sourdough or a large ceasar w/ extra bread, I was having a Kari's Favorite. It's truly delicious, and I remember exactly what goes in it but I ask Alan every time. I say it's to check and see if it's changed or if I've forgotten something, but really it's to irritate him. Don't tell him.

Anyway, all this talk about lunch has made me hungry. I'm afraid I don't have any Kari's Favorites, tuna sandys or ceasars today and I only grabbed a can of soup on the way out of the apartment as I was in a rush. I'm gonna crack it open and micro it in a minute. But I'm not so sure about this new flavor from the venerable Campbell's company.



I'll let ya know how it turns out.
