There are Palestinians selling shawarma here, but I can't afford it.  The portions are meager, too.  Maybe one day I'll make my own meat wheel.  What I miss is gyro meat.  When I worked at the pizza joint, the boss put gyro meat as a topping.  So I was able to score a whole wheel of gyro meat at a discount.  Delicious, but the grease residue is unreusable and unpalatable.

Ah, we have found Gwen's greatest fear: the girl with the nerves of a battleship is scared of raw herring!

This is candy coated baby crabs.  Japanese, of course.  If you find this anywhere, you should try it.  Intense crab flavor!  I tried making some myself, but no one here sells baby crabs and my teeth can't crunch the adults.  Ah, I found some!  Online.  Dammit, I can't afford 5 lousy bucks.

I know you don't like greasy foods.  Most local foods here are fried in palm oil.  The next options are boiled steamed or grilled.  Ovens are inconvenient, but available.  It's the climate.

Getting a pizza in Chicago.  It's freezing cold, but we're smokin' hot!

Blacker than thou.

Hello Chicago!

Look young

 

Unfortunately, some of the styles here are topping 50 years old.  Which makes the person following it just another old fart.

Mary sure looks young in her skateboarding outfit.  She's actually 15 years older than Gwen!

If you had sisters

 

Downhill

 

Is going downhill a good or bad thing?  It could be either, depending on the sport.  Just play safe, and wear protective gear.

In showbiz, fame is that downhill.
