comments: today I tricked bill into walking all teh way through gastown for lunch. upon walking into the way-too-hip now Nuba, we turned around and walked right out. man, that place was busy. last time I went it was just a little hole in the wall with barely two tables to sit at. now it's the craziest busiest place in that area. anyway, we left and went to afro canadian. click to see some filming that was happening in gastown. look at the dude on the left. whaaaa?

and bill had:

a taste of africa
comments: it's almost better to be vegetarian at this restaurant, because you can get this variety dish. so, the show they were filming is called Facing Kate, and it seems to take place in san frandisco. click to see some "san fran" ambulance drivers. what they should have filmed was these two amazing parkourists.

his birthday
comments: Uij is one of our new japanese interns. we got 3 right now. and oddly, 2 of them had birthdays today. perhaps there are only 2 or 3 days in japan that are birthdays? that's what I must assume. anyway, lots of us went out for burgers, but I forgot to get food photos. oh well. whatchyoogonnado? click to see richerd with one big eye.

mushroom burger
from: HAVE cafe
price: $7ish
rating: &&&&/&&&&&
listening to: the rolling stones
comments: have cafe was busier than I ever seen it today. this led to some confusion with our orders. but all was fixed. they used a heckuva lot of mushrooms on my burger. good stuff. and meanwhile, half of vancouver's police force was swarming the neighbourhood, apparently to arrest one man. click to see the street in front of the restaurant when we left.

let me lunch and steal


buffalo chicken sandwich
from: deacon's corner
price: $10ish
rating: &&&.5/&&&&&
listening to: culture club
comments: today, I tried the special. it was... interesting. but not great. this invention was chicken breast cooked like it was spicy wings, then put into a sandwich. I do enjoy spicy wings, but the vinegary fumes would nearly choke me every time I brought the sandwich to my mouth. the flavour was good, though. and the bun... the bun was a bit flimsy to try to hold such large amounts of meat. now click to see a sweet porsche.

and bill had:

mexican scramble vegified
comments: today's wiggly theme is black cars. click bill's lunch to see a poop-covered beemer. heh.

and michael made:

very tasty cookies
comments: kate invoked a cookie-baking contest at work for her birthday. smart move. and michael made these delicious peanut butter cookies. and yes, that's a piece of a reece's pb cup on top of it. now click this to see Mr. Apple Schwester sitting at his desk. can you spot all the 'apple' products there? there's a lot.
