Bri's Night: Union Square Haikus

Greetings! Tonight's blog entry is a meditation on two things. One of them is Union Square, the delightful neighborhood North of Central Square, where we are blogging. The second meditation is patience and brevity, which are the only recourse of the poor blogger, who must blog on a freaking iPad. Perhaps the entire blog should be written in haiku...

Check it out here!

Brian got a cookbook called Nibble, which is a taste of Somerville's restaurants, which gives us tonight's menu.

Loroco Pupusas
Calls for more cheese than we have
Jim sheds a tear

Djon Djon Rice
Broth of Small Haitian mushrooms
Don't tell the FDA

Sri Lankan Hoppers
Yeasted crepes, lukewarm beer
Rice flour and coconut milk

new problem arises
16 ounces of rice flour
Is not four cups

If you are in need
Apocalypse box contains
Rice flour aplenty

Loroco is opened

Smells like fermented ocean

Deb tastes, says "wow."

Amusing fact emerges
Marshmallow fluff can be made
Into martinis

Donut muffins
Baked just like muffins
But covered in sugar

Breakfast Battle!

You're doing it wrong

Deb looks for the right tool

Bri is almost done

Haiku is a virus
Infecting speech and memory
I can't do it fast

Whatever Brian is drinking makes it go faster.

The Batter will rise
This small bowl cannot abide
A double in size

Knock knock? Who is there?
Hoppers.  Hoppers who?  Leave me
Alone for 8 hours



Writing haikus
...
A hard shoe to fill

Yogurt found in fridge
Should have been in donuffin
Who wants a smoothie?

To make Pupusas:
Make a doughball, fill with stuff
Mush together. Fry.

First Pupusa taste
Needs salt? Needs peppers? Needs time?
Experimentation

Deb and Bri travel

To the desert of Utah

Fear the killer pigs

Just ask Survivorman

Writing in haiku
Makes me ponder my life's goals
I want to fart less

Deb gives me advice
In spite of these Pupusas
Don't eat so much cheese

Deceptacon plays

Bri opened for Le Tigre

He dressed in a skirt

Radical cheerleaders in action

Four minutes per side
Pupusas aren't cooking
Somehow rice is done? 

Butter and sugar

Roll the muffins with above

Plus, add cinnamon

Thought: breatharians Probably don't need to poop But do they pass gas?

"I'm dehydrated" Deb finishes her lager Fills bottle with water

Oh no! Rice is hot But the bottom is now burned Transfer but don't scrape

Photos are taken
Sookie Stackhouse calls to us
She reads our minds: "hungry"

Bri:

Cheese Pupusas yum

I really enjoyed the taste

I give it A moins (A-)

Djon Djon rice ok

A bit mild, needed more salt

B- from me

Muffnuts are awesome

Awesome awesome awesome yum

I give them an A

Deb:

Pupasas were great
But the Haitian rice was foul
That recipe fucked up

Cinnamon goodness
Doesn't cut it as dessert
But as breakfast,A

Jim:

Pupusas were fine
As ever more cheese would please
Masa done? Not sure.

Mushroom broth smelled great
Added peas were a nice touch
Djon Djon rice was meh

Muffnut donuffin
Half dozen for each of us
We must still make more

Alex:

Pupusas then rice
Delightful melty cheese bits
Boring afterthought

Firm, sweet outside hides
Surprisingly moist inside
Not unlike donuts
