Combination Fried Rice on Impeachment Day
Well, interesting. They say Clinton will be impeached tomorrow, letting a little known and even less understood monster out of its cage. Nobody knows what this means, the Sole Proprietor, for one, doesn't have a clue. Guess we'll find out.
The Sole Proprietor and his cohorts felt badly since they were taking
advantage of these folks by availing themselves of their fine menu
(Yes, yes, he'll post the name in the under $10 lunches section over the weekend. Hands off the waitress, though.) The weekend is ahead. Christmas is on the way. The weather has been warm. How was your day? The Sole Proprietor's was OK. |

There's a small Chinese restaurant on 12th Street in downtown Oakland where
the Sole Proprietor and some of his coworkers had lunch today. The entrees,
large and tasty, ran between $3.00 and $3.50. Which means the staff
is living on leftover rice and Bok Choy and sleeping in the back on old

on the absolute cut rate. This feeling lasted all of about 2 seconds before
they took their seats and ordered. The total came to $15.40 for four big

waitress, hopelessly because of her youth and obvious wisdom in matters
of the heart (avoid old fools), so he'll come and leave large tips. Well,
actually he'll come often, order lunch, leave a large tip and head into

gets him all excited, better to load his camera, mind his business and
clean his plate.
