Monte Cristo ~ Blue Bayou
This is the single best possible to eat. I have been saying it for years. Ever since M7 and I stumbled accross it compleatly by mistake. It was truly a magic sandwich and still is. It's so good that I have no problem with going to Disneyland just to eat one! Mind you I cant do it all that often because they are quite filling. Here is an LA Times quote:"...the [Blue Bayou in New Orlean's Square, Disneyland/Anaheim California] restaurant's Monte Cristo sandwich probably has been the most recognizable -- and demanded -- item on the menu since it first appeared in 1966. It hasn't changed since then," said Boll, "and it's become a standard. It's a very, very popular item. We serve about 160 to 200 of them every day. When the first one of the day comes out, everybody who sees it wants to order one. It comes close to the croque monsieur that originated in France." ---"Chef du Jour: Disney's counter of Monte Cristo," Los Angeles Times, July 15, 1993 (p. 36)

Ok, here it is.
I was upstairs at work in the blueprint room. It's cold and dark in there even on the hottest days, and there is a smell like engineers from the 50's (not choo-choo engineers). That's when most of the drawings in there were made, the forties through the sixties.Anyway, there I was and I was moving a chair around the room probably wasting time when two of my bosses came in. We ate this big rectangle pie. It was a strawberry pie but it had 4 cakes inside and also lime jello. Now these cakes were interesting because they were partially eaten already but someone had re-iced them white and decorated them with red accents and writing which if I am not mistaken made them a birthday cakes.All four cakes had been put in the big pie crust and then the lime jello was poured in. The strawberry filling was on top of that and there was whipped cream.I'm not sure who brought it but we started serving it like animals. We used out hands to scoop it onto fancy paper plates. Then we washed our hands and ate it with nice silver forks. We ate almost the whole thing. It was so much that we had to lay on the floor.Then when we had finished they both went on vacation to different destinations and I moved chairs around more.

FRANCE
I am here to stand up for the French and for France. I am first and formost not French. Nor am I a US hater or a Bush hater. But I will say this. I went to France two years ago on vacation. I was there for 2 weeks. One week in Paris and one week in the South of France. I found the french to be nice people who did'nt care that I can't speak French. They almost all could speak English. I did'nt come across one person who was rude to me. On top of that the architecture was fantastic, the atmosphere is laid back, the food is good and there was all sorts of beautifull things to see. I have come to the conclusion that everyone is just jealous…

Paranoid?
Well let's just say creeped out. I have been using this gmail account for a few weeks now and since I am too lazy to bookmark it I just search for it each time. It is always the first search result but I have been noticing another result a few results down called Gmail is too creepy. I finally got curious enough to check it out and that lead me to see the rest of Google Watch. They tell of the Google cookie and how it does not expire till 2038. They mention that Google hires ex-NSA (national security agency) and others with high security clearance. Basically what I see is that Google wants to "search" your (my) email and search terms that I use on the Google search engine and use them to profile me. Now I don't REALLY care all that much about being advertised to. Granted I really don't need to want more stuff as my current list of things I want could bankrupt a small country. But what about the OTHER stuff it could be used for? What about custom tailored insurance, what about sliding scale pricing based on how much YOU want things. Anyway I am a concerned about the direction this data mining is going and I will be keeping an eye on it...
