    [For three weeks, Josh & Katy blogsit]What I am about to relate to you is a horror story of sorts. It starts like this. Two teenagers are making out innocently in the back seat of a car. No. It starts out in the morning, with breakfast cereal.Now I don’t know how you feel about breakfast…

  • Meatloaf A La Mode [by Katy]

    [For three weeks, Josh & Katy blogsit]I know that some of you have been asking yourselves: who is this Katy? Where did she come from? How did she become the accomplished substitute food blogger she is today?You all are so impatient! This information will have to unfold, slowly, like a flower. Meanwhile, let’s be content…

  • Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag Lunch [by Josh]

    [For three weeks, Josh & Katy blogsit]Lately every pre-work morning has ended the same. I push back my breakfast dishes, pull the paper in front of me and read everything that isn’t about sports or Iraq. At five past eight I look up at the clock, say, “Damn! I should have left five minutes ago!”…

  • Pizza My Heart [by Katy]

    [For three weeks, Josh & Katy blogsit]Do you get it? The title of the post, I mean? It’s “Pizza My Heart.” Like that Janis Joplin song? That’s funny, isn’t it? I made that up.No. I didn’t make it up. It is the name of some Northern Californian pizza chain. I find it clever in the…

You see, my friends, my bar-study-status is earthquake shaky and full attention must be paid.…

  • Watermelon Vidalia Onion Salad at Agnes and Muriels

    In case you missed my original review, I LOVE Agnes and Muriel’s. It’s one of my favorite Atlanta restaurants.Lauren, on the other hand, isn’t as enamored, mostly because their food is very fried and greasy. Pshaw, I say, but then again I have a speech impediment.Anyway, it takes a great deal of work to convince…

  • Carvel Ice Cream Cake

    I basically have four friends in these sad days of bar exam study—if you define friends as the only people you see because they are law students too and you are otherwise cloistered from the world at large. Among these friends is Andrew (who you’ve heard a lot about) and it was his birthday on…

  • Cupcake Bribery

    Last week Lauren, Andrew and I returned to a place I gave a poor review to a few months ago because I thought we should give it a second chance. My poor review wasn’t really a poor review per se, it just said the sandwich was bad. I still think the sandwich was bad.This time…
