Dinner at Hu Hot

A couple of days ago I went to dinner at Hu Hot, where I'd never eaten before. Some friends of mine kept saying it was really good, and they were bothered that I had not been there before. "They have tofu!" they told me.

Well, I went, and I ate. It's hard to see them using the same grill and spatula to grill your tofu and noodles as they use to grill the guy next to you's fish or pork or whatever. That is pretty gross.

Also, they only have Nebraska spicy sauces. Nebraska spicy sauce is what I call hot sauce that only Nebraskans think is hot. My first bowl was super mild, and so everyone told me that I must not have put enough hot sauce on it. When I went back for my second bowl I put on 3 times the hot sauce, until it was literally spilling out of my bowl. It wasn't hot. I filled out one of those rating cards when the check came and I photographed it for the picture above, but it's impossible to read. In the comments section I wrote: "Your spices ain't shit son! Word is bond!"

What people say



I found this cool site that contains an extensive list of quotations taken from patients medical charts. It is pretty funny. It reminds me of a friend of mine who has similar documents hanging up at her place and rotated into- and out-of service as newer/funnier/better ones come up.

Some examples:

When she fainted, her eyes rolled around the room.
Skin: Somewhat pale but present.

the MacRuby

What an awesome way to keep a nostalgic piece of electronica while at the same time making it once again useful. The MacRuby is an electric guitar amplifier built into an old Macintosh computer. He runs the runoffgroove website which has a shitload of effects and random electronic schematics.
