Making Up For Lost Time

Posted by Trott

As I mentioned last week, I was half-assedly doing an elimination diet. It ended yesterday and I made up for lost time.

As promised, I went to Little Star last night for the first night of my four-day Birthday Pizza Binge. I shared an excellent deep-dish pizza with my friend Erik and had great cheesecake for dessert. Note the jukebox contents.

Afterwards, we went to Toronado where we met up with Erik's wife Michele. Good news: Dogfish Head Brewery was featured for the night. Their 120 Minute IPA is 21% alcohol by volume, so I immediately chose that. Fantastic! Bad news: Someone selected a block of Cream on the jukebox. I like to hear "White Room" or "Sunshine Of Your Love" once in a while. But a block of it? There was only one thing to do about it: Leave and eat more.

I went next door to Rosamunde and got a vegan sausage sandwich. The last time I had been to Rosamunde, I ate four vegan sausage sandwiches. The woman was so impressed when I ordered the fourth sandwich of the evening that she didn't charge me for it. She told me I was setting a record. Alas, she didn't remember me last night. It had been a long time. I had to pay for my sausage, just like everyone else. I should have mentioned that my birthday is coming up soon.

I ate back at Toronado, where Cream had given way to something else. I don't remember what, but I do remember discussing with Michele whether the surname of the guy from Thin Lizzy rhymes with "fly knot" or "pin knot." Who can help me?

Tonight, day two of the Pizza Binge takes place at Tomasso's in North Beach.
