… but I had two things I thought I didn’t like.
Lunch
Pork Belly at the TeddyJ Cafe.
I’ve tried pork belly before, and it was flabby and vile. I think the problem was that it was straight pork belly, whereas this was a strata of pork meat with a tasty tasty layer of pork fat on top. They promised me it would be like butter and it was. Are you afraid of pork belly? Don’t be.
Sublime. Sub. Lime. I turned down some pork belly sushi last Thursday and I regret it now.
Dinner
Well, lasagna of course, and even I liked it. Gary said it was missing something. He, of course, did not know what. He suggested it might be bread. I thought it might be pork belly, but I said nothing.
The best part about the lasagna was creating the noodles. I remember Mom had great trouble making lasagna and always relied on others to handle the noodles. I always tried to make her a layer of noodles that weren’t torn or gaping.
Tonight I made my own noodles. Each noodle was six inches wide and 13 inches long. Four noodles for the whole lasagna. Noodle. Noodle. Overlap them in the middle. Sauce, cheese, more cheese, noodle noodle.
I even had a spare giant noodle. I let it cool and draped it across Gary’s face when he was napping.

I’ve heard lasagne noodle masque is very beneficial to the complexion. Next time, photos.
Yes, much as I like the picture of the fatty fatty belly, I’d like to have seen the noodle drape.
It sounds like the lasagna was missing meat.
Becs – No time. He instantly woke up and hurled it off his face.Magpie – maybe next time. I did wear it as a stole for a bit.Caroline – No, it had a pound of italian sausage. But somehow the next day I can;t seem to find it. Does it sink to the bottom or something?
I always felt like “no one cares what you had for lunch” was A) a pretty snotty book title and B) absolutely terrible blogging advice. This is precisely why I read blogs: I want the glimpse into someone else’s life — the quotidian details, the sublime and the silly — that includes the tiny personal details like, ooooh, what you had for lunch.
p.s.- I knew pork belly would be AWESOME.
Elsa – Well, when what you have for lunch is pork belly someone should care. Thank you for caring. I’ve now had this one good pork belly and and one bad. So popular it must usually be good. An evil thought just popped in to my head. “I wonder if I could make it at home?”
