37F!

Yes. This.

Got this description from Dwayne for National Sandwich Day (I won't torture you with the photo):

Chorizo Torta at Xoco (Chicago): There are breakfast sandwiches born of convenience, and then there are breakfast sandwiches that are worth getting up early for. It shouldn't surprise anyone who's eaten at Rick Bayless's Xoco that the Chorizo-Egg Torta ($7.50) is one of the latter. Soft scrambled eggs, ripe, buttery avocado, and two kinds of cheese (totally melted jack and salty, crumbly queso fresco) form the sandwich's creamy core. But they're all just there to highlight the mind-blowing chorizo, commingling with roasted poblanos, falling apart into a soft stew of cinnamon and vinegar-laced meat.

But Not This.

The three different solicitors who jammed their flyers in my screen door yesterday. They keep popping the screen material out of the frame -- geeaarrrrgh! I need a no-flyers sign. *shakes cane at passersby*

Mayor of Nerdville

Went to see Puss in Boots tonight at Alamo Drafthouse, where they make their own pre-show entertainment. Tonight's pre-show included lots of cat videos. The best: Many too small boxes and Maru. (Maru is the cat's meow on YouTube. Don't get sucked in!)

Shhh, Don't Tell...

...but I followed my onion-barley soup at lunch almost immediately with a big bowl of apple + brown sugar oatmeal. Not sure yet what the outcome will be, but I'm glad I've already gone running today.

Question of the Day

What's the temperature supposed to be tonight where you are?
