Reality – Start-Up

Roladin - Start-Up

Roladin bakery and cafeteria were building a branch on Habarzel street where i work. So they put up a teaser – “Roladin Start-Up”. Like, it’s a street full of start-ups. When they finally opened, it turned out to be more than a gimmick:

Roladin - Feminism

They have a business lunch for guys and a business lunch for girls! A brilliant idea.

Fuck feminism.

I think I can, part 2

It’s quite amazing how quickly Cola makes me fat.

Limiting myself to a max amount of Cola every day doesn’t work.

At my previous workplace there was … ehh … draught Cola. From the tap, you know. It was disgusting – Cola must be canned or bottled. So it was easy enough for me to avoid Cola there – it was so disgusting. The only thing i can do now to save myself from the sweet taste of slavery is to promise not to touch any Cola at all. It already worked for me once.

So – “Hi, i’m Amir and i’m a Cola-holic.”

I think I can

I can say “No” to free cookies and bottles of cold Coca-Cola.

I think i can, i think i can, i think i can, i think i can.

Cruda?

Here’s a recipe for a pasta i made yesterday. I ate something similar to it in a restaurant recently and it blew me away. It’s delicious, but laughingly simple to prepare. It works well with both long (spaghetti, linguine) and short (penne) kinds of pasta.

For 500 gr. of pasta: Mince 1 onion and fry it lightly in olive oil. Cut 4 tomatoes to medium-sized cubes and add them to the pan. Now the most important and fun part: spice it. I used a mix of spices that included musk nut, dried porcini, thyme, pepper and a bunch of other things i found in kitchen cupboards. I don’t even know their names.

That’s it – very simple.

I don’t know exactly what is the name of this pasta. It is possible that it is a type of “salsa cruda”, but it is also possible that “salsa cruda” can be used only to describe sauces made from unprepared tomatoes.

Reality – The Brand, part 2

“Elite. Institutional cocoa.”

Sometimes branding is funny. And sometimes people just give up on branding completely, although i thought that it happened only in Soviet Russia.

People Speaking – Not Me

— “Why aren’t you speaking? What do you think of this food?”

— “I am immobile. I can’t do anything, I can’t speak and I can’t move, because it’s too hot. It’s too hot, because the air conditioning isn’t working. Actually I dreamt a few days ago – such things actually happen sometimes! – I dreamt that I was tasting this food and it was too hot and the air conditioning didn’t work and I couldn’t move. In sleep I really can’t move, so I guess that it makes sense.”

I couldn’t believe that it wasn’t me saying it.

R.I.P. Robert H. Brooks

“Being female is reasonably necessary”. Brooks

A lifelong fighter for women’s rights, Robert H. Brooks died at a very good age.

As a vegetarian, i should frown at his title “World Wide Wing Commander”, but i suck. I salute him, even though he sold meat (hey, i even bought some).
