I Never Told You What I Did For A Living0 Reviews
"It's the rope. It's making you say strange things ," mumbled Mikey to himself.
Hannah, Ricky and Jesse ran frantically to the office of their commanding officer.
"Are you sure that's what four eyes said?" asked Ricky.
"Yeah! I'm positive!" said Hannah.
"Let's tell Kim," said Jesse.
"Good idea," replied Hannah.
The three froze in front of Kim, their commander's secretary.
Kim Lee, also known as Kim, looked up. "May I help you? Oh...It's you three." she asked.
"Kim, we have a problem..." said Jesse.
"And what would it be?" asked Kim.
Kim Lee is a tall Japanese American woman. She was raised into this business, and like her mother, was the secretary for the commander. She was nearing her thirties, but she didn't mind. Being ten years in with this job, she had seen all kinds of problems and while her commander was busy, she would fix it.
Not this certain problem though...
The commander sat at his desk and analyzed the files his secretary had sent to him not too long ago. He sighed and ran his hand through his dyed hair. No matter how much he analyzed them, it all was a goose chase. There was no conclusion at all to the random kidnappings happening around Hollywood.
The secretary bit her lip in hesitation, wondering if she should tell her commanding agent the startling news from what the others called 'the three idiots'. She made up her mind and knocked on the door. "Commander?" she said.
"Come in, Kim" said the agent.
"We have a problem," said Kim shutting the door.
"What is it?"
"Well, the team you sent out interrogated the witnesses," she said business like.
"What was the team?"
"The three idiots."
"It was an easy assignment for them. What seems to be the problem?" asked the commander taking a drink from his coffee.
Kim bit her lip and sighed. "One seems to be your brother"
The commander spit out his coffee in shock. "WHAAAT?"
"Would you like to see him?" asked the secretary, wiping some coffee drops off her face.
Oh God, this can't be true, I swear. This has to be a joke!
The commander stood up and picked up his jacket, leather red of course. His favorite among the large collection he had at his home.
"Where is he?"
"In the cement room."
Oh shit...Mikey is claustrophobic.
The secretary led the commander into the room where Mikey was being kept.
"Can I be alone with him for a moment?" asked the commander.
"Yes sir," the secretary nodded and left.
The commander pushed his hair back and took a deep breath before he approached his younger brother.
"Hey Mikes, what's up?"
Mikey looked at the source of the voice. He wasn't sure if the knock out bomb from earlier had hallucination as side effects. Either his mind was playing tricks on him, or Gerard Way aka his older brother was standing before him.
"Gee?" he exclaimed.
"How is it going?" Gerard managed a small grin. He didn't want his job to pull in his family, since it could risk their life. So as you can see, it was poker face time.
"Gee, what are you doing here? Why am I tied up? Why is Frank calling me a coffee whore? Who were those creeps? What is going on?" Mikey was in hysterics. He had tried not to panic like his best friend who was being interrogated in the room next door, but he lost it. He had lived a normal life, had a normal job, had a normal family.
All up until now.
"Relax Mikey," said Gerard trying to calm him.
"Relax? How the flipping meese can I relax? I'm tied up!" he exclaimed.
Gerard sighed and began untying his little brother. "Mikey, just relax. I'll explain what's going on in a second," he assured.
"What are they gonna do with Frank?" asked Mikey.
"Frank is here too?" exclaimed Gerard.
"Yeah, we work together at Starbucks, remember? They took him next door" Mikey motioned with a nod to the room next to him.
"Well that's convenient," Gerard untied the final knots and helped Mikey up.
"What do you mean 'that's convenient'? In what universe is being tied up considered convenient?" asked Mikey.
"I meant it was convenient because I'd like to explain what is going on to both of you," said Gerard.
"Oh...That's cool," Mikey rubbed his wrists where the rope burns had left a mark. They'll go away eventually.
"Um Mikey, what are those red marks on your face from?"
"What red marks? Oh..." Mikey touched the side of his face and winced a little bit.
"Oh yeah, that Hannah chic slapped me."
"Damn Hannah. She's getting too violent with these assignments..." mumbled Gerard.
"Assignments?" asked Mikey.
"I'll explained in a minute," waved Gerard. He picked up his headset he had set down on his neck and began calling orders.
"Leroy?" Gerard called into a headset.
"Come in commander," said Leroy.
"Bring the second witness into the cement room. Untied," he replied.
"Roger," Leroy buzzed.
"Commander?" asked Mikey.
"I'll explain in a minute," said Gerard.
A few minutes later, they could hear Frank resisting against Leroy's grip.
"Let go of me you troll! Leave me alone! Set me free. I have ferrets and a broken Ges Paul at home. Who's gonna take care of my Pansy? WHO? TELL ME YOU SIX FOOT COWARD! WHO?" frank cried. The Way brothers sighed.
Once Frank was inside the cement room, the hugging began.
"COFFEE WHORE!" Frank ran and hugged a slightly disoriented Mikey.
"Frankie!" Mikey said not too cheerfully.
"I thought they killed you man! They have some large as hell guns," frank let go of Mikey.
"Nah, they didn't kill me. I'm okay," said Mikey.
"Jacket slut?" exclaimed Frank.
"Yep," replied Gerard.
Frank ran up to his friend and hugged him. "Thank God you're here! I thought I was stuck with Mikey! Do you have any idea how frigging clueless he is about these situations?"
"Frank, I'm still right here," said Mikey.
"Oh I know!"
"It's the rope. It's making you say strange things ," mumbled Mikey to himself.
"You say something Mikes?" asked Frank.
"Were you kidnapped too?" asked Frank.
"No," said Gerard.
"Then what are you doing here?" asked Mikey.
Gerard ran his hand through his red dyed hair. "This is gonna take a while to explain..."
"We have time," both Mikey and Frank replied.
"remember that one time I went to San Fransisco for a convention?" asked Gerard.
"Oh yeah. Why?"
"I got tied up in some stuff simply because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Some stuff went down and I was to head a league of secret agents. Our job is to keep people safe and protect oth-"
"Isn't that basically like not copyrighting a body guard?" asked Frank.
"No. Shut up and let me continue my story."
"Fine, jacket slut..."
"Anyways, we have to protect others with our life. It's a top secret program ran in California and this is HQ."
"How the hell did you get assigned to this while at San Fransisco for a convention?" asked Mikey.
"It's a long story...but we don't need to hear that. So, you guys have no choice but to become part of the program."
"wait, why no choice?" asked Mikey.
"If anyone finds out about us, they are forced into the business. I'm not sure who started this, but that's how this kind of stuff rolls by the time I got here," explained Gerard
Frank bit his lip. "I don't see how we would fit in this business," he replied.
"You guys can fit in this business perfectly. Mikey, you're a good negotiator and spiritual adviser. You know how to handle situations and hack things. You ran a Disney black market for Pete's sake! Frank, you can interrogate the shit out of people and not bat an eye. You're good with guns and a fighter. If you guys join us, we can save Karen. We exist to save others," explained Gerard.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait a second. Who is this 'we' you speak of?" asked Frank.
"Oh, secret agents." replied Gerard.
"You're kidding."
"Nope, I'm commander, I don't kid when it comes to my job."
"But, aren't you a comic book writer?" asked Mikey.
"Yeah...I never told you what I did for a living," replied Gerard sheepishly.
"No dip Sherlock" said Mikey sarcastically.
"...I'm in!" said Frank.
"That was a fast decision," said Mikey.
"I want to help others! Besides, I'm not gonna let whoever were the assholes that kidnapped Karen harm her!" replied Frank, determined.
"what else is there to know, Commander Way?" asked Frank.
"Hey G, I got more files today on the investigation with Yolanda. Oh, and we have a meeting today at 12-" A familiar male voice was heard as a man with an afro approached the trio.
Mikey and Frank froze as they saw the familiar man.
"Ray?" the both exclaimed
"Mikey? Frank?" Ray nearly dropped his files.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention; Ray is in on it too." added Gerard.
"How?" asked Mikey.
"We were carpooling to comic con..."
"What are you doing here?" Ray removed the headpiece.
"We don't know!" exclaimed Frank and Mikey.
"I thought they weren't in on this," said Ray to Gerard.
"They weren't...It's a long story," said Gerard sheepishly.
"Wait, why did you take Ray to Comic-Con and not me?" asked Mikey.
"You went to Sacramento to a Radiohead concert," said Gerard.
"Oh yeah..." said Mikey.
"And me? What about me? You could have taken me!" Frank interjected.
"You went with him."
"Oh yeah..."
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Ray.
Mikey took a couple deep breaths. He was dreaming. That's all. It was all a dream. He was back at Starbucks, working normally with Frank, serving coffee, reading a magazine while his boss wasn't watching. It was all a effed up dream.
"Okay I'm going to wake up at home, knowing that this is all a dream. No. This is a dream, this is a dream, this is a dream," Mikey shut his eyes, hoping to wake up at home.
He hoped it was a dream.
"Mikey...this isn't a dream," Gerard said slowly.
Well...he tried.
"Let me showing you around Protectors HQ."

Just because you have a large budget doesnt mean much. Remember not long ago Hillary was a first term Senator whose soul qualification was being the wife Bill Clinton cheated on. And now shes a failed SecState. Look how far shes come.

Rand Paul lived most of his life sucking off the government, from his fathers congress pay (since the 70's) to all the Medicaid and Medicare he took in. By his own admission he took in 50 percent of his income is Medicare and 5 percent is Medicaid.
Just like Ayn Rand who howled against government help then asked for both Social security and Medicare payments, after her meth fueled writing career.
Full fledged hypocrites which people on the extreme right wing worship for some strange reason

I think Rand Paul is just testing the waters for a presidential run in 2016. Making a supposed "show of strength" against "the liberals" is how I think he is trying to establish himself. He is trying to define himself before the left can define him.
I also think he will be far easier to define than some of the others (Rubio, Christie, Ryan, etc.) His views are pretty far to the right for most Americans.
I believe they're all trying to start the 2016 campaign a wee bit early. If any of them (Republicans AND Democrats) were smart, they would wait a couple of years before diving in. I'm not convinced Clinton could win if she ran anyway, because the GOP will still be talking about Bengahzi four years from now (possibly for lack of anything else to talk about and maybe partially because they are terrified of her).

I think the overall posture of the US situation against Al'Queda is so bad, anyone near it will be screwed. Case in point, we have AQ sympathizers who have taken over Egypt, Algeria, and Mali and have made huge gains in Somalia and Yemen. Dude, at this rate Al'Queda is about to take over Africa... and Hillary's helped make it happen during the "Arab Spring" which is starting to look like it was the "Al'Queda Spring"
My guess is in a few years when AQ starts launching attacks on the west out of the relative safety of their North African strongholds Hillary will end up being remembered as the SecState who handed Al'Queda their biggest victory in 10 years.

Snave, I suspect you are right about Rand Paul's long term motivations. That said, right now, he seems to be about the only one with the cojones to call a spade a spade. Kudos to him for that. Normally I wouldn't give him much of a chance at winning the presidency, but after four more years of Obama, assuming we have a nation left, Rand Paul may indeed be a strong viable candidate.
As for Hillary, I don't understand why she is so celebrated by the left. What exactly has she accomplished of merit as Secretary of State? Al Qaida is in ascendancy and it is largely due to her and our feckless foreign policy from the Obama administration. Quite the accomplishment!

Rand Paul will fare approximately as well as his father in the next round of GOP primaries. In other words, he'll have a small, rabid, ineffective following.

And TP, I find it a little pitiful when you moan about us not being a nation in four years because your candidate didn't win last November. I hated Bush and Cheney to my core but always had faith this great country would be around long after they left Washington.
- January 24, 2013 at 9:16 AM
- T. Paine said...
Jim, it is possible that you may be right regarding Rand Paul. Maybe not. Time will tell.
As for me moaning about the demise of America, it is not simply because "my candidate" lost. I fully acknowledge that Republicans and Democrats both are responsible for the sorry state of affairs of our nation economically and as far as our liberties are concerned. George W. Bush was quite guilty of exacerbating the problems too. My "moaning" is because while Bush added trillions to the debt during his eight years in office, Obama came in and doubled that amount in only four. This is unsustainable.
Quantitative Easing and digitizing money will ultimately create a huge inflationary cycle. We will not be able to pay our debts and sustain our economy if we continue to spend what we do not have. It is akin to a drunk trying to drink himself to sobriety. It is the foolishness of both parties that got us here. It isn't "my guy lost so I think the world is ending". My guy would likely have only slowed down the coming crash. Obama has accelerated it, and seemingly on purpose so that the coming crash will allow government to transform America in totality and "save" us all. It isn't about politics. It is about constitutional and economic realities that are being ignored. That is why our nation is doomed. The fact that you, progressives, and even many so-called conservatives don't see this only means that the tipping point will be reached soon, if we aren't already there. Coming back from the brink at that point will no longer be possible.

The nation's two top pizza mavens — Adam Kuban and Ed Levine of the Slice blog – traveled the country for "Every Day with Rachael Ray" magazine in search of America's best pizzerias. The result, which hits newsstands next week, are now online.
Varasano's Pizzeria — former software engineer Jeff Varasano's labor of obsessive love — was named one of the top eight in the nation. The top prize was awarded to Phoenix's storied Pizzeria Bianco.
Kuban and Levine organized their meals in 64 of the nation's top pizzerias like the N.C.A.A. brackets, with four divisions. Representing Atlanta in the South-Southwest division were Antico Pizza Napoletana and Varasano's. Other top scorers included Di Fara Pizza of Brooklyn, Pizzeria Mozza of Los Angeles, and Flour + Water in San Francisco.
Kuban and Levine are answering lots of questions over at Slice.
(Disclosure — I did accompany Levine on his pizza-eating swing through Atlanta and am still digesting.)

Varasano's isn't even in the top 8 spots ITP. Please never rank anything in this city again. Varasano must have paid them to eat that garbage and give a thumbs up.

As if someone born with vowel at the end of their name has superior pizza tasting skills. It's the best pizza in America, not Italy. If some moron has an Anglo Saxon or Germanic, he's not more qualified to judge hamburgers than me.

Since when is Rachel Ray's magazine known for "good food"…. look at the CRAP she has her name on in the supermarkets. I've never had a REAL slice of Pizza in GA….or should I say ANYWHERE outside of NY. On the other hand… I'd dare say I ever had GOOD BBQ in NY as well. Just what it is….
February 16th, 2010

Fishawk; pizza originated in Naples, Italy… Do some research
February 16th, 2010
11:18 pm
Come on, people – a local establishment gets national accolades and you whine and moan…throw the guy some props. I ate at Varasano's for the first time on Saturday. I thoroughly enjoyed the wickedly thin,crisp crust and spots of "char" riddled across the edges. Ingredients were top notch and applied in a manner as to not cause any soggage. It's definitely a top 3 in this area – along with Vingenzo's in Woodstock and Antico near Ga Tech. I'm pleased to have a place like Varasano's here in town. Then again, I have to remember, you guys are all the same people that proclaim Chin Chin the best Chinese food you've ever had!

Yes, he sure figured out the "secret" to making pizza alright….cook it in a REALLY HOT oven!

How unfortunate Antico had to go up against Pizzeria Bianco in round 2. If not for this inopportune draw, I have little doubt Antico would have ranked much higher. This round robin should have been double elimination!!
February 17th, 2010
9:51 am
Varasano's is amazing. All you haters on here probably hadn't even been to the restaurant. Every time I pick up a dime piece, the first place I'm taking her is Varasano's. That place is a aphrodisiac for sure, you can take this cat's word for it.
February 17th, 2010
10:33 am
I would never rate Varasano's above Antico. And I can't stand Rachel Ray so no surprise that they choose my least favorite pizza place in Atlanta. Best pizza in Atlanta is absolutely Antico Napoletano. Steve, take your "dimes" there… unless your "dimes" come from the corner of Boulevard and Ponce.
February 17th, 2010
10:59 am
Is this a joke? The "nation's top "pizza mavens," a Yiddish word by the way, dream up a clever marketing scheme to build buzz and make money and in the spirit of inclusiveness declare an Atlanta place run by a former software guy top pizza maker? I'm not saying a vowel at the end of one's last name confers any special gift, but I will say there were brick-oven pizzarias in Brooklyn, 50 years ago. What was pizza like in Atlanta then, boiled collards on white bread? Antico is a great place, but go to Naples or Rome, you'll find its equal on every other corner, without people fawning over it. Sure, putting any old crap on pizza–pineapples, chicken wings, sushi, doesn't make it extraordinary, but laughable. Same eternal chip on Atlanta's shoulders wanting to be good at everything.

If your going to voice a negative opinion about a restaurant or it's food, you might want to comment on the ingredients, taste, atmosphere, ect. and not on the nationality of the judge, the previous employment of the owner, or the location of the restaurant. Your guess that Atlanta's go-to food is boiled collards and white bread solidifies your ignorance of culture here in Atlanata and most certainly around the world.
February 17th, 2010

I love both of the pizza spots on their bracket… One that I feel is missing is Gallas! Their pizza isn't as fancy… but its delicious!

I have to say to Saul Good that you obviously never ate at Antico in ATL and I completely agree with Glenn that if Antico were up against any other Pizzeria (besides Pizzeria Bianco) their ranking would have been a lot higher. Let's all remember too that Antico has only been open for 5 MONTHS!!! Way to go Antico. Your climb to top national recognition has just begun.
February 17th, 2010
4:15 pm
My husband and I have eaten pizza all over the country, quite literally, and in a couple of places outside of it as well – no, Italy wasn't one of them. That said, we fell in love with Varasano's at first bite. While we've heard good things about a couple of other places in Atlanta, we just can't bring ourselves to bypass Varasano's to check them out. We've tried most of what is on the menu and while we have our favorites (the Nucci pictured above is mine – mmm!), we've never been disappointed in anything we've ordered. Jeff is more than just a name on the door and it's fun to chat with him, the staff takes great care of us, and the atmosphere is comfortable. It's unfortunate that Atlantans feel such a need to tear others down, but I've kind of gotten used to that in the AJC comments, so on behalf of the rest of us Varasano's, congratulations on well deserved recognition.

Verasanos has good pizza. All of you are entitled to your own opinions – maybe you like pizza in Naples or NYC better. But your one negative opinion doesn't mean that Verasano's pizza isn't good when general public perception and this award indicate otherwise. The negative opinion just means that it doesn't fit your taste, not that the pizza is definitively bad.
Moreover, all of you saying how good pizza in Naples and NYC need to start paying attention – the nominees for the award are American (sorry Naples) and divided up by region. NYC can't have all 8 nominees. Basically the nomination for this award mean these people believe Verasano's has the best pizza in the southeast. Maybe that's right, maybe not. There are definitely a lot of other great pizza joints around. But talking bad about Verasano's only makes you look like a troll. Let them have their moment.

Yes, I've dined at Antico…. again, it's "okay" but far from being world class (which AGAIN leads me to say that "top picks" and ratings from something and someone as mundane and middle of the road as Rachel Ray's magazine are literally worthless when it comes to fine cuisine). What sets apart pizza in NY (as well as their bagels) compared to other regions is the WATER! You can use the same exact ingredients and even import an oven used from a NY pizzeria…. but you'll never get that "taste" they have up there…because the WATER they use is far superior to the crap down here. NYC's water supply comes from several reservoirs located in Upstate NY…and unlike the cesspool called Lake Lanier… they don't discharge into their reservoirs… nor are there even homes (with septic tanks) located on any of their banks…they are ALL on private property owned by the city and there are acres and acres of undeveloped and pristine land that surround them all… the water quality here sucks…period. So unless they import their water from NYC…they'll never match the taste.

No way. Hearth Pizza Tavern in Sandy Springs has the best pizza hands down! They have a regular menu along with their special pizza menu pretty much every week. Crust is not too thin and not too thick, slight char on the bottom. Best kept secret in the ATL! It's in the Whole Foods shopping center off of Roswell Rd, go check it out.

@anastacia beaverhouse – well said and agreed; congrats to Atlanta for making a national list and agree or disagree whether it's the best in Atlanta, it's hard to argue that it's not one of the best.
@Kelly – I'm with you and while I wish them all the success they deserve, I'm just a little happy the secret isn't entirely out yet so we can still get a table. Great beers and bar, too.

I am from Napoli, Italy. Home of the pizza. My holy grail in to the US was to find a pizza that was just like home. In 20 yrs, have not found it. Been to both Verasano, and Antico Posta (btw there is no such word in the Italian dictionary Antico, and both do not even come close by 1 million miles as being authentic Neopolitan true pizza. Yet, they got certificates saying such and are advertized as such. Not even close. Yes, the pizza is good. But please do not sell it as Neopolitan. Its an insult to us.

I'm pretty sure I was wasted when this came out. To me, good pizza is a can of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese served over a Pilsbury biscuit……With a BIG glas…Bottle of wine.
February 18th, 2010
1:29 pm
Bravo Vincenzo. How do you go about describing buffalo mozzarella that is so fragile it must be eaten within a few hours of being made, san marzano tomatoes, olive oil green as grass, fresh herbs, ancient wood-burning ovens, but most of all the feeling of Italian pizzarias. It's not snobby, expensive or upscale (with fake critics doing silly taste-offs)just fun and family-oriented. Kids crawling around. Grandparents. Goodlooking girls and handsome guys on motor scooters; liters of good wine for just a few dollars. It's so great because it's not a big deal. That's what cannot be captured or turned into a brand.

Anastasia…sorry but I live in the USA…. stop whining about that war from long ago…sorry your family didn't get to keep other humans as slaves…
If you read my posts above, I said that the BBQ up North does not compare to down here…but I've yet to eat a slice of pizza or a bagel down here that compares to what they have up there…and it's because of THE WATER.

@Saul – I agree on the bagels, but believe it or not, try Bitchin' Bagels off exit 12 of 400 – yes, it's an odd place to have a bagel shop, but believe me – the best bagels I've yet had outside NYC (and I've been to Essa Bagel many, many times).

@anastasia…. and I represent that the pizza in THIS part of the "United" states… is weak compared to other 'United" states… why would ANYONE take such offense at that? Feel free to tell me that the fried chicken and Okra available in NYC is pale in comparison to what one can purchase down here and I'll agree! If I wanted a "real" Philly Cheese Steak…I'm not going to find one that's even close that what I can purchase in Philly or South Jersey…

I must say I was very excited about trying Varasano's pizza but was heavily disappointed as I sat down and read the menu to which I was very confused about just ordering a simple cheese pizza. I feel like I was punked and that my real pizza never came out becuz someone decided to play a cruel joke on me and my family, especailly on a day in which we were VERY hungery. The pizza was thin, brittle and the sauce tasted and looked as if it had been watered down. The meal was over priced and I would have done better just eating cheese and crackers at home. But you live and you learn. The service was good and and all the wait staff was cacausian and look like Malibu barbie but that is neither here nor there. I think I will stick with fellini's Pizza.

Looks like these two Rachel Ray bloggers believed the hype! Varasano's got a doctoral dissertation on his website about good crust, but that doesn't mean he makes good pizza. Best pizza in Atlanta? That's easy: Pizzeria Vesuvius on Edgewood. Next up: Blue Moon (two locations OTP). And coming in at a respectable Number Three: Savage Pizza in L5P.

Transit authority and crossing guard hit by flying debris were both seriously injured.
LITTLE FALLS, N.J. — A commuter train has struck a tractor-trailer in northern New Jersey, injuring 10 people, two of them seriously.
New Jersey Transit spokesman John Durso Jr. says the train was carrying 71 passengers and crew when it hit the back of the trailer at the Little Falls crossing at 8:15 a.m. Wednesday.
The accident seriously injured a transit employee and a school crossing guard who authorities say was hit by debris.
Durso says the truck driver was backing up after failing to make a tight turn when the crossing gates came down. The truck driver was not seriously injured.
The trailer was hauling paint. Dozens of buckets are strewn around the scene.
Durso says it's too early to tell whether the accident will cause afternoon delays on the Montclair-Boonton Line.

Nose-to-Tail Eating: Have You Had Lengua?
Lengua is, of course, tongue. Specifically beef tongue, and it's something that's fairly common in Latin American cuisine. Unless you grew up with it, cooking and eating lengua can sound about as appealing as mud pie. But done right, lengua is a fantastic and tasty thing. It's that "done right" part that gets tricky.
Preparing lengua is not for the faint of foodie heart. This thing looks exactly like what it is: a gigantic tongue. There are taste buds and connective tissues and bunches of muscle. The skin covering the tongue has to be removed, and this is done by peeling it away either after a quick blanch in boiling water or once cooking is finished.
The biggest thing to remember is that the tongue is a hard working muscle. This means that it's incredibly tough, but also very flavorful. It needs to be cooked slowly for several hours to give all the connective tissues and muscle fibers time to break down and become tender. Most preparations called for a long braise or several hours of boiling.
Even after cooking, tongue is best sliced thinly across the grain or chopped finely. Some people like the springy texture, but we're personally in it for the rich meaty flavor.
Elise over at Simply Recipes has a great tutorial on preparing lengua, plus a delicious recipe for tacos de lengua. It's worth taking a look!

Oh my gosh... I LOVE lengua.
The Husband and I tried lengua for the first time at an awesome little taqueria in Albuquerque. It was very flavorful and melted in my mouth.
Lengua's the best. Lately, I've been putting it in the smoker after the long braise and it's really become one of my favorite summer meals.
I was actually headed to a local taqueria for lunch and was going to get Tacos de Lengua until I saw my twitter feed and decided to switch to a the Only Burger food truck (they'll be next to where I work today).
Tongue is the best roast beef you will ever have. I suggest caramelizing it in a hot cast-iron skillet after braising to get some crunchy bits on it, then serving on a tortilla or in a sandwich.
I love lengua, I was tricked into eating it as a kid by my uncle, but after that first bite I've never thought twice about cooking or eating it. I love that its usually less expensive and makes enough to feed a crowd.
I absolutely adore lengua! It reminds me of home (the Philippines) and it is just so darn tasty!
PS - I blogged about lengua too: http://www.confessionsofachocoholic.com/meat/lengua
I LOVE lengua! We have great taco truck down the street from us so it's our late night comfort food. I never ate it growing up but it's big in Asian cuisine as well. Grilled beef tongue (sliced verrrry thin) is delicious at korean bbq.
Yes and I love it!!!
I use my mother's recipe, from one of those 1970's meat cookbooks everyone makes fun of:
Put tongue in a crockpot, with some bay leaves and peppercorns. Cook on low for 8 hours. Peel and serve.
I am from North-Eastern Europe, we grew up eating boiled beef tongue - simply on a slice of rye bread with some pickles and mayo, as an open face sandwich. Delicious.
my grandmother used to make it in stew. I always get it at taquerias here in Los Angeles. It's my barometer on how good the place is.
I've never actually made it myself. I might have to try the crockpot method, or the sear then braise method. Both sound good.
I cry a little every time I see a taqueria without lengua on its menu. I usually have to dare my friends to try it, after which they can't argue with its tenderness.
How much do you typically pay for tongue at a butcher?
I used to eat this all the time as a cold cut from the local butcher. Then one day I actually saw it in the case and couldn't stomach it ever again. The springy texture just makes the whole thing worse.
I used to have a "I don't eat anything that can taste me back" philosophy but I tried a bite of my dad's taco once and I was sold. Delish on a corn torilla with cilantro, onions and salsa.
My family makes lengua in salsa verde or in mole sauce. SO good. :-d
I've only had tongue in NYC corner deli sandwiches--the kind of delis that are mostly gone these days. I wish someone would start a nostalgic fad for those delis and bring them back. When I was in college in the 70s they were everywhere.
my mom makes it a pressure cooker with chipotle sauce, bay leaves, and garlic. It's amazing and only takes like an hour and a half.
I will try that! Omg I LOVE lengua. My boyfriend hates it, but after having had it, I'm not interested in any other kind of taco meat. Buche, carne asada, tripa, none of it. I just want lengua, both for the flavor and texture I think it's the best. I recently had it with fries, generous cheese, avocado, and sour cream. I nixed the salsa since I don't prefer it but damn it was heavenly. There's a place near me that sells burritos that are just guacamole and lengua, and they are my perfect burrito.

Topic - Grey Arete is E1??
Martin Hore - on 11 Jun 2013
Just returned from a wonderful trip to North Wales, with Grey Arete on Glyder Fawr a highlight - well worth the walk up.
I don't normally log my routes, but I visited the page for this climb and will add a vote for E1 for this route, and perhaps add more fuel to the trad grade debate.
Pitch 2 (or the first half of pitch 2 if you string 2 and 3 together) is the crux, even though it's given 4c. Pitch 3 is a well protected low end HVS 5a. Pitch 2 has a 4c move with no reliable protection at all apart from the nut that forms one anchor for the belay, which is a lonely 10 - 15 metres below, and even that's behind a flake that rattles. That's a 30 metre factor two fall potential in my book.
If you confidently lead E1 or above, and cruise pitch 2, you might leave with the impression that the route is low end HVS. But if HVS is your top grade, or worse this is your first HVS, then this move could be very scary indeed.
If Sunset Slab at Froggatt is HVS 4b then this pitch is E1 4c. That's what our wonderful trad grading system is for!

Hilary Duff was spotted leaving a pilates class on Friday, January 20. The 24-year-old looked happy as she was photographed waving and smiling for the cameras. Something different about the mom-to-be? She has changed her hair color to a darker brown.
Hilary had tweeted this photo above yesterday and talked about being bored, "Got bored today.... Tell me whatcha think??"
So which color do you think Hilary looks better - brown or blonde? We love it both ways! Beautiful!!!!

Illustrator Richard Hogg worked with graphic designer Anna Fidalgo on the exhibition design for the current Measuring The Universe exhibition running at Royal Observatory Greenwich until September 2…
The exhibition coincides with June's Transit of Venus event – during which Venus will pass directly between the Earth and the Sun, appearing as a tiny black dot that will appear to move across the sun. This event won't happen for another 105 years and, says the Royal Observatory, in centuries gone by these rare cosmic events were used to accurately measure the distance to the planets, giving astronomers an idea of the truly mind-boggling scale of space.
The idea then for Measuring The Universe is to showcase the history of measuring distance between objects in space and demonstrate the various methods used by astronomers in doing just this.
While Fidalgo worked on the graphics and typography side of the exhibition design, Hogg produced illustrations to be incorporated into the exhibition's poster (above) and also created a 4 minute animation as part of the exhibition. The animation explains, thankfully in layman's terms, how there are various ways to measure the distance between objects. Here are some stills:
"Because the concepts involved in measuring the universe are pretty tricky to comprehend, interactive designer Henry Holland who was working with the Royal Observatory on the exhibition got in touch with Dick if he could create an animation that would simplify it all," says Fidalgo of the project. "That was the starting point for us working on the project as Dick then got me involved because we've worked together before.
"So we collaborated on a look and feel for the animation," Fidalgo continues. "I chose a typeface and created a colour palette which Dick used for the animation. Then I took some graphic elements from the drawings Dick was creating when designing the animation, such as the wavy lines, and incorporated them into the exhibition identity."
"The script for the animation really was an evenly split collaboration with astronomer Olivia Johnson and Henry at the Royal Observatory," explains Hogg."It was a really amazing way of working, collaborating with a scientist and trying to understand the science and draw diagrams that were technically correct," he continues. "I was a little worried that I was doing the dumbing down role, trying to edit what Olivia was saying down to four minutes, but actually it was really inspiring working like that and trying to capture these things in a way that makes sense but is still fun."
Because of the animation's importance in the exhibition, the whole show is in a low lit room and all the information is presented on backlit light boxes:
Measuring The Universe runs until September 2 at the Royal Observatory, Blackheath Avenue, Greenwich, London SE10 8XJ

Read this article today while researching ways to migrate an SSIS package into a C# program. It would really be neat if there was a way to programmatically convert an SSIS abomination into a readable, intelligible C# / .NET program. Maybe that will be a useful project ;)
So here's the thing: why is SSIS bad? Honestly, when I used to use Data Transformation Services back in the late '90s, there was nothing wrong with it. DTS was a simple way to automate a complex, bulk data transformation process. It was limited, but that was okay - because it had a specific function. It imported and exported data to and from SQL server.
Nowadays SSIS supports everything and the kitchen sink. What used to be straightforward (Import -> Select source -> Select columns -> Go!) is now a massive undertaking. I thought it was really neat how DTS had the ability to save a package so you could repeat it again in the future. If I'd have known that it would become this complex and impenetrable, I would have walked away.

amg review
During Roger Manning's initial swell of notoriety as the best-known figure on the New York "anti-folk" scene, I heard a fellow musician refer to him as "a Bob Dylan wannabe with a sideways haircut," and while that might not be entirely fair or accurate, it's not hard to see where someone might reach that conclusion. Like Dylan's first few albums, Roger Manning doesn't exactly display a wealth of melodic imagination, the songs tend to run into one another (insisting on calling all of them "blues" doesn't help to distinguish them, either), and Manning's songs sometimes betray a habit of favoring clever wordplay over substance. But also like Dylan, this album also makes it clear this guy has a lot of talent, and he sings an awful lot better than that guy from Minnesota did on his first LP; "The #14 Blues" shows that Manning knows how to rock out with just an acoustic guitar and a snare drum, "Pearly Blues" is a lovely romantic reverie that never gets sappy, and "The Lefty Rhetoric Blues," "Strange Little Blues," and "The Airport Blues" make it clear this guy knows how to put a lyric together. Roger Manning never became the hero of his generation, like one of his most obvious role models, but his debut album makes it clear he had a lot more going for him than the average run-of-the-mill singer/songwriter. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Trent Reznor is Pi$$ed His Grammys Performance Was Cut Short [VIDEO]
By Chris Atticus | Monday, January 27, 2014
And he should be. All of the build up. All of the waiting through the entire pop fest. The moment finally arrives. Trent Reznor, Dave Grohl, Lindsey Buckingham and Queens of The Stone Age take the stage to perform the most anticipated moment of the night. And it starts off awesome.
Trent Reznor and gang start out with "Copy Of A". Incredible. Then Queens of the Stone Age take over with Grohl bashing away on the drums and Reznor on keys. They start performing "My God Is the Sun." Amazing. And then the Grammys pull the ultimate douche card, cut away from the performance, go to sponsor info, then they come back and slap the super group in the face again by rolling more sponsor info over a distant shot of the band on stage. Then the coup de gra - the kick in the balls as they cut their performance off completely. Typical Grammys fashion.
Trent was pi$$ed. As he should be. Lucky for us, he took to Twitter to let the world know.
Music's biggest night... to be disrespected. A heartfelt FUCK YOU guys.
— Trent Reznor (@trent_reznor) January 27, 2014
Most of the YouTube videos we have found keep getting deleted ('sup with that Grammys Nazi's???) Watch a recorded version of the performance before it, too gets deleted below.

A Brief History of the Whisk
The New York Times
Where did the whisk come from? In the US, the whisk's debut and resulting popularity can be traced to Julia Child's 1963 television appearance (her first ever) when she brandished a whisk and furiously whipped egg whites into a fluffy frenzy. But naturally, the tool had been around long before Julia.
In a short article for The New York Times, Pagan Kennedy writes that the whisk goes all the way back to the 1600's. Of course, back then it was really more of a wood brush. (Pagan notes that one early recipes calls for beating the ingredient with "a big birch rod.") But the wire whisk, developed by "gadget-loving Victorians," didn't come about until the 19th century.
Still, it was Julia Child who made a whisk an essential kitchen tool in American kitchens. She not only taught home cooks how to buy the right whisk, but also how to "wield it with a snap of the wrist."
And, interesting side note: apparently Chuck Williams, founder of Williams-Sonoma, outfitted his (then) new store with a lot of the utensils and things that Julia recommended!

I love reading articles like this and learning something about the history of when an item makes its first appearance... I can see the whisk being an item that dates back a long time, not sure how any kitchen go go without.
First one I ever saw came in a Christmas present of toy kitchen tools from my German cousins about 1960. My mother didn't know what it was.
I still have one that my Mother got in the 1930's for a wedding present! Not the same shape but the same usage...whipping & beating. I remember my Mother making many a 7 minute cake icing with her whisk in the 1950's.

22nd Sunday in Ordinary TimeCycle CReadings: Sirach 3: 1718,
20, 2829; Hebrews 12: 1819, 2224; Luke 14: 1, 714Author:
Fr. Richard Gill, LCTHEME OF THE READINGSA major theme of
this weeks readings is the need for humility before God.
Sirach describes the virtues of the humble man and the
Letter to the Hebrews points out the circumstances of the
revelation of the first covenant on Sinai, where God delivered
to Moses his expectations of the people he would choose
as his own, and the blessing it would mean for
them. The Alleluia verse speaks of the revelation to the
little ones while St. Lukes Gospel exhorts us to choose
the lowest place rather than exalt ourselves and to live
with purity of intention - serving others without expecting anything
in return. DOCTRINAL MESSAGEIt is difficult to overstate the
importance of the virtue of humility in Jesus teaching for
those who would follow him. It is essential in order
to walk in his footsteps and to receive his teaching
in its fullness. Over and over he tells us that,
unless you become like little children, you will not enter
the Kingdom of Heaven. We need to be humble not
only to obey God, but even to hear his voice
and understand his Word. The qualities associated with humility are
meekness, discretion, docility, and simplicity of heart. This is a
teaching that is difficult to communicate in a culture that
emphasizes self-assertion, pride, arrogance, and self-promotion. Our world is one
in which it seems counter-intuitive to stress simplicity and meekness.
After all, well be stepped on and trampled! Humility seems
to be a virtue for losers and those who cant
achieve. It seems no one gets ahead in business by
being humble, but rather by selling himself, even if it
means exaggerating ones qualities. The New Covenant brings about a
change in the way we interact with God. He is
no longer the one who gives his Law from Mt.
Sinai amidst peals of thunder and lightning, but Jesus, the
author of the new law of love promulgated by the
sacrificial pouring out of his blood on Mt. Zion. The
Law to which we must humbly turn our attention and
receive is the law of love made perfect in the
sacrifice of Christ. It is the completion of all previous
revelation and brings it all to perfection. Following this
Christ means living the life he lived, one which was
characterized by attentive obedience to the will of his Heavenly
Father in all things. He embraced the Cross as his
Fathers plan to save mankind. Christ did not humble himself
as a mere slave, but as the Beloved Son of
the Father, in whom he was well pleased. Thus his
humility flows from his exalted status as Son of the
Father. Thanks to the incarnation and the establishment of
the New Covenant, we are no longer called servants, but
friends. The humility we are called to live is in
the context of our adopted sonship, as heirs of the
Kingdom. This new status we have as sons in the
Son gives the context for the new kind of humility
and charity we are to live. The Gospel makes
this way of life explicit in its practical forms: to
look upon ourselves as having received everything we are and
have from its true source, God, and acknowledge him as
the giver of all blessings. We should choose the lowest
place and never think of ourselves as better than anyone
else, for all we are is due to Gods grace.
Likewise, we should give what we have and share
it with others less fortunate, not in any self-centered, calculated,
or utilitarian way, seeking our own personal advantage, but freely
and simply. The humble man should live with such purity
of intention that he seeks only to please God and
find his reward in the life to come, living each
day to serve and love his brothers in Christ.
Someone once said there is a world of difference between
the person who sees life as a gift and the
one who sees life as a given. The one who
sees life as a given feels he has a right
to take his share and grab for all he can.
But the giftedness of our life our very existence,
our life, our health, our family, friends, our call to
eternal life, Gods grace and blessing on us makes a
person live with a stance of humility and gratitude for
all he has received from the Lord. As Mary said
in her Magnificat, the Almighty has done great things for
me, holy is his Name.PASTORAL APPLICATIONSThe prayer of St. Ignatius
is very helpful in fostering the virtue of humility and
disposing us to charity and obedience to Gods will:Take, Lord,
and receiveAll my liberty
My memory, my understanding, and my whole
will.All that I am, and all that I possess, you
have given me.I surrender it all to you, to be
disposed of according to your most holy will.Give me only
your love and your grace. With these I will be
rich enough, and will desire nothing more.We must see all
we have as a gift from God and never attribute
to ourselves, independently of his grace, anything we have achieved.
This is the way to form our hearts in humble
gratitude and to live with that peace of heart that
only true Christian humility can bring us.

If you want to brush up your French this is a great way to do it. I did A level French a long, long time ago and had loved the language but had forgotten even basic verbs. I feel as if these audio books have connected me with so much that I had lost. I bought all three books in series and then the course review. I will return to them again. I would love it if my son,who is doing GCSE French, would listen to them too as I think they would be excellent for him. The chances of him acting on my advice are slim but these audio books really impressed me.
I have already reviewed the course book but the review book is so useful as it can be used time and time again to refresh all that has been learned over the three audio books. Worth while addition to the library.

The Do-It Yourself Syndrome
Posted By Bryan Eisenberg On April 3, 2009 @ 1:12 pm In Improving Conversion,Word of Mouth | 9 Comments
[1]Patrick Sullivan Jr [2], describes himself as "a professional UI fixer constantly striving to make the cow more purple-er so the sneezers keep sneezin." Some of you may remember Patrick's name from our Always Be Testing book where we highlighted the success his company Jigsaw Health [3] had with our conversion coaching service and Google Website Optimizer (in early beta). His story was also published in Inc Magazine [4] and by Google as a case study [5]. In just a few months, Jigsaw Health increased its conversions by 60%. By using Google Website Optimizer and making adjustments to Google AdWords™ campaigns, Jigsaw Health reduced the CPA from over $150 down to less than $40.
Even with his over the top UI fixing skills, Patrick recognized the value of an outside opinion. He is a real advocate for our services. He was recently recommending OnTarget [6] to a colleague and the person responded that before he started with OnTarget he wanted to "get with his programmer" and work out their own to do list of what needs to be fixed on the website. While he applauded the do-it-yourself initiative, Patrick explained the challenge with doing that in an email that he allowed me to share:
Speaking from my own personal experience, I think it would be unwise for you and your developer to make a list of "obvious changes" — uncoached — for several reasons:
1) Both of you are new to this. You cannot underestimate experience.
2) You're going to end up with a LONG, unprioritized wish list. Been there, done that. And it causes paralysis.
Again, experience after seeing the results of hundreds of tests and using that to list out first ONLY the low hanging fruit cannot be underestimated. Again, each month that you see even the slightest improvement to conversion rate means that you're seeing and increase to the top line.
3) I have tested ideas that I was *sure* would improve conversion. After traffic went by, I saw I was wrong. But "enough" traffic can takes a month or more depending on the page/scenario. A coach is going to use their experience to focus on what they've seen work most often.
4) I always say that each resource in every company costs $100/hr. It's a rough estimate, but it seems to work. So the two of you spending 5 hours each working on the list costs the same as the experts telling you precisely where to start in the first month.
5) Part of the OnTarget engagment is to determine what your developer can't touch without extensive work. So that conversation will have to happen no matter what. The total risk is $3000 (there's a 3 month minimum), but the upside is almost without limit.
I say all this because I don't want you to get lost in the weeds going down a "do it yourself" path. Thoughts? Patrick
How many DIY projects do you have waiting to get done?
If you would like to talk to Patrick about this or any other related questions, feel free to email him at Patrick at editweapon . com or send him a tweet at @editweapon [7].

In the last several years, the Port Orange City Center has become a huge attraction, hosting dozens of historical and educational events every year.
Last weekend was a good example as the city celebrated the 16th annual Lakeside Jazz Festival and ninth annual Art Festival as part this year's continuing Centennial Celebration. The city's Centennial Celebration was a month earlier on March 17.
The City Center today consists of 105 acres of sprawling land with several prominent buildings, but that was not how it started. Its humble beginning was as a 25-acre plot of land sitting next to a borrow pit.
"I've lived in the area for 37 years and I can remember riding my motor bike up and down the dirt roads when there was nothing else here but the borrow pit," Port Orange resident Tom Forgie said.
Port Orange's original City Hall was at the northwest corner of Dunlawton Avenue and U.S. 1. At that time, that section of the city was considered downtown. The locals gave City Hall the name Buzzard's Roost because it was a central gathering point for people to sit around and talk about the news of the day.
In 1947, a four room, concrete block building replaced the Buzzard's Roost and became Port Orange's new City Hall. The new City Hall was moved from the old downtown area westward into farmlands and heavily wooded areas in 1985. This move would set the tone for the future of Port Orange.
Early on many people questioned the sensibility of the new City Hall location, but any lingering doubts were soon put to rest as a tremendous amount of growth began to spring forth west of U.S. 1 in the 1980s and 1990s.
The mayor at the time, Jim Fisher, sparked a majority of the growth. Under his leadership, Port Orange underwent a total transformation. It went from being a small town with a small economy to the modern and contemporary city it is today.
Mayor Fisher first initiated the Tree City USA program in Port Orange. His commitment to caring for and managing the city's public trees went a long way in helping develop City Center from a barren landscape into a beautiful location highlighted with a variety of trees, which provide a unique canopy design.
After City Hall was moved and rededicated at 1000 City Center Circle in 1985, several more buildings were created around it in the coming years. The Recreation Center had already been at City Center since 1978 and underwent some renovations three years ago. The borrow pit that City Hall sat next to was converted into a beautiful lake in 1985. In 1986 and 1987, several soccer and baseball fields were created to help accommodate the Recreation Center. A police station was created in 1986, a fire station in 1988 and the YMCA followed in 1989. The library was originally located on the second floor of City Hall before moving to a new building in 1996. The Amphitheatre was built in 1998 with a Lakeside Community Center adjoining with it in 2005. The city also purchased Silver Sands Bridle Club and a portion of it became Palmer College of Chiropractic from 2002 to 2003. All these buildings have played a great part in helping the city host events and provide a variety of programs throughout the year.
The Lakeside Jazz Festival has become one of the most popular events at City Center. According to Kent Donahue, special assistant to the city manager, the event has come to be known as one of the premier jazz festivals of middle school and high school jazz bands in the southeastern United States. Other notable events in the coming months are the Founders Day ceremony on Friday, April 26, Cracker Days on May 25 and the Spruce Creek Festival on June 22.
"I have enjoyed coming out and seeing the Art Festival especially when it was a lot smaller and just had a few booths set up around the lake," 22-year Port Orange resident Ginger Groh said. "The Art Festival has really grown since that time and drawn a lot of people."
"I'm a big fan of the Port Orange Family Days event because it has carnival rides that my little girls enjoy," Ponce Inlet resident Stephanie Harris said. "The city does a good job of attracting young families to the area with the wide variety of events."
Residents and visitors alike are enjoying the numerous events the city provides as shown by the growth in numbers and interest each year. The City of Port Orange City Center has certainly come a long way and should continue to have plenty to celebrate when it comes to community and history in the years to come.

Laúd is a plectrum-plucked chordophone from Spain. It belongs to the cittern family of instruments. It has six double courses (i.e. twelve strings in pairs), similarly to the bandurria, but its neck is longer. the strings in each course are tuned in unison. Traditionally it is used folk string musical groups, together with the guitar and the bandurria.[1] Like the bandurria, it is tuned in fourths, but its range is 1 octave lower.
Laud's name derives from the Spanish word for lute.
- 1st: A
- 2nd: E
- 3rd: B
- 4th: F#
- 5th: C#
- 6th: G#
The Filipino version has (from bass to treble) one single course, two double courses and three triple courses (i.e. fourteen strings), and is tuned a step lower, F# B E A D G.
Cuban laúd[edit]
There is also a Cuban variety of laúd (such as played by Barbarito Torres of the Buena Vista Social Club). It has the same appearance and use as the Spanish version, only the tuning is different. The Cuban tuning is: D, A, E, B, F#, C# (or D).
Sometimes the Cuban variety has a different body shape, with two points instead of the lute-style or wavy shapes used for the traditional Spanish variety.
