Today marked the beginning... and the end of my relationship with tofu. Since I know you want to hear aaaaaaall the details... I just happened to stroll into walmart when Roger was getting off work. Yup, Roger.. aka the coolest guy you'll ever meet... the guy with the greatest hippy drug tales you could ever hope to hear... the guy I went on the 'legit' ghost hunt (oh, excuse me 'paranormal investigation') with (that's another day and another bitchin story), I really can't say enough, he's been my best guy friend for damn near 6 years. ANYHOO!!! I hadn't seen him in forever so we decided to check out a new chinese place we'd heard about. I don't even know what it was called now...It might have had the word Dragon in it....actually, who cares.
I did however, laugh at the fact that I'm pretty sure the window just says 'Gourmet Buff'..unless I just couldn't see the whole thing. I'm actually suprised myself at the amount of jokes you can make about Gourmet Buff... and what kind of establishment it would be. Ha. I'm not sure if this is a widespread problem, but some people assume that the sneeze shield over the food also deflects your voice. Because there we were, in front of the mongolian potatoes (which were decent, by the way) and he's talking to me about how weird it is that there are mexicans working in a chinese restaurant. While that's pretty funny, I still can't stand five feet away from them and talk about it! Maybe I just have super freaky hearing, but I think I could hear someone talking about me from that distance. Ah well, I commend his fearlessness. <3 On to the tofu.. I knew immediately what it was, there's no mistaking those little cubes of pasty death...okay, so I didn't know they were cubes of pasty death yet, but I still knew it was tofu.
So I just throw out the usual.. 'Dare ya to eat some tofu'.... he says 'I will if you will' aHA! Counterattack! So you know I couldn't wuss out.. even if I did choose a cube on the smaller side. Honestly, they didn't actually look that bad, had some kind of garlicky sauce goin' on. So we throw back the tofu at the same time. Maybe that was a sign, because I've never seen a 'lets eat it at the same time' have a happy ending. Indeed.....the only word that comes to mind is 'squidgy'. Oh god, the horror..like a gym sock full of beans, rolled in some garlic.. all condensed into a tiny grey cube. I guess I can't blame anyone.. I mean, I've seen how they make tofu. What the hell was I thinking?! So we spent the next couple hours just walking around town, handing out loose change to the occasional transient, and looking at all the fake storefronts (they're filming a movie there, for those who don't know), and I actually fell in love with a fugly little retro chair in the window. I'm actually still wishing I had that chair.. honestly, you could build a room around it. Sorry, but I can't even describe it other than fugly retro.
Then it started to rain again. I LOVE THE RAIN! and Rog is probably the only one who'd keep walking with me. Sometimes there's just nothing better than walking around in the rain with nowhere in particular to go. Yeah, we got soaked, yes, we ended up looking like hell, but who cares! oh yeah, and about the restaurant, I'd tell you not to go there, cause the food isn't even that great and it's overpriced, but since I don't know the name, I guess I can't. Just avoid the place with 'Gourmet Buff' in the window. and that is all
