HOSE DOWN MY PANTS!! BLRK

The Los Angeles County Health Department rates eating establishments on a letter grade system. Most of them get A's, there are occasional B's. Today, driving to work, I passed the FILIPINAS EXCHANGE MARKET which had received a C. I'm not sure I'd ever seen a C before. Even accounting for the fact that many Filipino specialty foods seem designed to terrify anglo health inspectors (balut, diniguan, etc) this appears extreme. What the hell do you have to do in order to get a C? Store your potato salad at 75 degrees Fahrenheit? Overhead salmonella sprayers? Ceviche de vacas locas? It's terrifying.

Today's Vehicle Spotting was an old beat up sentra driven by an aging gangsta, bumpersticker: NE1469? I don't think so, P-Dogg.

How's everyone enjoying the depression er recession er SLOWER RECOVERY THAN ANTICIPATED??

So if you get a C, you *have* to put some sticker up in your window? Wow.

There are a couple of Filipino establishments around here but they creep me out. I ate at one of them and didn't enjoy it at all... and furthermore the reliance on meaty byproducts and gelatin is just... gross.

I am riding the depression out by being perversely passive. I can perk right up for about an hour or two a day where I try to do something fun, because the other 22 hrs I've got the energy of a Raggedy Andy. My kitchen's cleanliness right now would rate well below a D. Canada is not as hit hard as the US, I could get a job, in fact, every day I get up saying THIS WILL BE THE DAY to complete the estimate for someone who asked me to do some work for them. Well, you asked.

Yeah, you have to put it up in your window no matter what.

I can't imagine that you as a vegetarian could eat any filipino food at all. The best item is a heavily cured pork leg that is then deep-fried.

Buck up and grab the brass ring, etc etc cliche.
