Chapter 8 Special Points About Eating
Meat (Bird’s and Frog’s legs)
The no-picking-up-bones rule is relaxed a little here except among real purists.
…pick up by one end, and in effect, suck the remaining meat off them, between closed lips.
Or if you want to be more refined, you put a small bone into your mouth, clean the meat off it inside your mouth, and take out the bare bone between thumb and forefinger.
You mustard your arguments well, dibs. I relish hearing biff’s response.
biff, how has your experience been with the new phone company (virgin right?)? I love to get an iphone but these prices from virgin, boost, metro pcs, etc are really juicy – like 50% off. only concern was network coverage hence asking
“? Is it like a hotel, whereby if you don’t cancel within a certain amount of time prior to your stay, you get charged? What do they charge?”
yeah – pretty much. if you cancel less than 24 hours in advance i think you still get charged. can’t remember the exact policy, but i don’t think it’s that outrageous considering they only do 1 cover a night.
ive been chewing on my new fav. food, mango/melon now n laterz all day! my teeth are gonna rot out but i dont particularly care.

they charge you for the meal before you’ve even been there (like a week before)

DH, huh? Brooklyn Fare charges you before you’ve even eaten there? Is it like a hotel, whereby if you don’t cancel within a certain amount of time prior to your stay, you get charged? What do they charge?
Watch for news that Syria has completely wiped Daraa off the map. Bashar Al-Assad’s father did the same thing many years ago in Hama killing perhaps up to 40,000.
Why isn’t there a NATO attack here???
