Luby's: Home of the ninja chef

What I need, see, is a job that allows me to write what I want, when I want, in whatever quantities I want.

 

I’m guessing quantity would not be a problem.

Headed out for a quiet lunch earlier. I thought I’d pick up a newspaper then eat at the dreaded LUBY’S. I had to stop at two different grocery stores to find a Dallas paper. With half my lunch break already gone, I got my Luann platter and looked for a table.

 

There was a coworker, reading a book. We said hello, ditched our reading plans and sat down for a pleasant meal.

Lots of people diss Luby’s, but I like that place.

 

In fact, the one by the office here is startlingly good. I mean, they make a baked fish almondine that is out of this world! It’s good enough that I imagine there’s some real chef in the back. Maybe some down-on-his luck bad boy, kicked out of a posh chef or teaching job. He’s back there with the industrial-grade ingredients the truck brings every week, working his magic.

 

It’s that good. I had this squash the other day… hey, I LIKE squash, but it’s bland, admittedly.

 

And it was flavorful and tender, and better than any squash I’d ever had.

Wow… the Rangers waived John Wasdin and released Ruby Durazo. Doesn’t this leave at least one spot on the 40-man roster open? I’ve heard rumors that they’re trying to trade for Atlanta’s John Thomson, who’d be a serviceable arm in the fifth spot for sure. He had moderate success here before.

Kelli was hanging out with a bunch of topless women this morning and apparently made a roomful of new friends.

 

And I’ll leave that at that.
