i sorta slept through it. i figured that since i was awake for austrailia and japan’s new year, i didn’t really have to stay up for california’s. little brother chris just got back from visiting jonathan in paris, so i went to see him yesterday. what started as a trip to pick up the presents jonathan sent back for me ended up being dinner and a visit to little sister at Tillys. i wanted eggplant parmesan, but our favorite italian restaurant was closed. so we ended up at vigiluccis in encinitas. 3 appitizers, 2 entrees, 1 dessert and $105 later, we were done. we’re food snobs, we can’t help it (you would have been proud, jonathan). the chocolate mousse was crazy. the description was “chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, with a touch of chocolate”. And that it was.
big ups to little brother chris - my fellow food snob. one of the few people i know that can appreciate a good bruschetta.
big ups to jonathan - the only person that would send me french food as a christmas present. hot sauce, banana-kiwi jam, strawberry jam, “summer fruit” jam, a bottle of bordeaux, two types of dijon mustard and chocolate. Man, you should have warned me about that mustard. that shit is like wasabe. my eyes almost popped out. it’s good tho
thanks, you’re my favorite.
hope you all have a great year. don’t forget to write 2004 on all your checks.

Oh no! I totally just fell out of this chair when I read that your eyes almost popped out! Tell me that is not the best mustard ever… I put that ‘ish on everything! Plus that Tunisien hot sauce is like woah. I’m glad you loved it
Once I get a phone I swear I’ll call you and we can talk all about it. BTW… we’re going straight from the airport to mexican food to vigilucci’s when I get back… ok? Ok.
you’ll be happy to know that I raided your mother’s refrigerator, and didn’t find any traces of peppermint ice cream
