monterey clam chowdah

i'm very sure that this is very n00b of me to say, but i recently found heaven in my mouth when i combined monterey clam chowdah (not really that different from new england clam chowdah) and tabasco hot sauce.

take a spoonful of creamy thick clam chowdah, and shake a drop or two of tabasco on top of your spoonful. then call me up to say "thank you" for reinvigorating your intimate relationship with your spoon.

so i started reading again, and i'm not really trying to draw attention to that other than the fact that the first line of the book is hilarious to me, and i can't post it on twitter cuz it's over 140 characters:

Priscilla lived in a studio apartment. It was called a "studio" apartment because art is supposed to be glamorous an landlords have a vested interest in making us believe that artists prefer to sleep in their workrooms.

Also, phillip ramirez is the most amazing reader i have ever encountered in my life.
