LostinVA and I had lunch at the BEST Italian restaurant in NYC!!!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

:rofl:

[Pacifist Patriot]

1. She might be surprised by this, but...

LostinVa is one of those folks I would love to meet.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. She's definitely awesome.

I'm quite glad I met her.

[LostinVA]

41. Why would I be surprised?

I like your posts, and you're not on my Ignore List, so it means you're not psycho! And, some of my best friends are Unitarians... hehehehhehe.

[Guava Jelly]

2. Cool!

btw..I am so happy for you ladies
I truly am!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. Thanks!

BTW, we actually ate at Federico's, which was around the corner; better, cheaper, and served actual Italian food, cooked and served by actual Italians.

[Guava Jelly]

5. Of course you ate someplace else.

You ladies were celebrating! So why would I believe you would eat that dog food?
I had to eat olive garden saturday for a birthday party.
It was dog food.
Give lostinva a hug and ask her if she can please restore my status. :silly:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. I wouldn't feed Olive Garden to my dog.

I love my dog.


Next Friday, I'll give her a hug and say it's from you.

I think your honorary lesbian status is up-to-date, by the way.

:thumbsup:

[Guava Jelly]

7. thank goodness!!

If she still wants to see my butt then I'll spam her pm box lol.
I need help! :7 :crazy:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

8. As far as I know, she still wants to see your butt.

Spam her PM box.

She won't be online until tommorow morning probably, so don't be discouraged, if you don't hear back right away.

[Guava Jelly]

9. pm sent

I hope she isn't sipping coffee at the time :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. Don't worry. She doesn't drink coffee.

Just massive amounts of tea.

[LostinVA]

42. It has been restored, my little lesbian

[Guava Jelly]

56. Woo hoo!

thanks :7

[GalleryGod]

77. Federico's Rocks! Their PreTheater Menu is the Best!

[ThomCat]

11. Yay! The picture came out!

:7

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

12. Yes, it did.

Now that rat bastard Starbucks Anarchist needs to post his pictures.

[SeattleGirl]

13. I knew you two had better taste!

Fabulous pic, by the way! :loveya:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. We have excellent taste!

Thank you!

:loveya:

[LostinVA]

43. Federico's was VERY good, btw -- and a two-minute walk (maybe) from OG

[crim son]

15. Positive proof that you ladies are loaded with class.

Thom took the pic, yes? Haruka, you look so happy!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

16. Yeah, Thom took the pic.

We were both quite happy in that pic.

[crim son]

17. Well, I've never seen a pic of LostinVa, so I can't make the

mental comparison between how she appears with you, and how she appeared before you. You look remarkably not-pissed-off. :P

[BarenakedLady]

18. Excellent picture!

And look at how happy you two are!

I'm so jealous, but extremely happy for the both of you.:hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

19. Thank you!

We're extremely happy together.

:hug:

[rug]

20. The one on sixth avenue is better.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

21. Heh.

Don't worry. We wouldn't actually eat that stuff.

[Gormy Cuss]

22. Spit take!

:spray:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. Hehe.

:rofl:

[u4ic]

23. The Oliv E Gar Den?

;)



Cute pic! :-)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

25. Yes, it's better than the Olive Garden.

:rofl:

And thank you.

[flvegan]

26. If you're trying to make me jealous

it's working. But I know better.

Score one for Oasis, and one for me.

I kid. Looks like you lovely folks are having a good time.

Awesome pic.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. Haha, you went to the Olive Garden!

:hide:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

28. Remember, we can "take care" of you.

:D

[Starbucks Anarchist]

29. How do you mean?

Because I'll bring the EVOO either way. :evilgrin:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

32. Sicko.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. Yep!

:rofl:

[Danger Mouse]

30. how'd i know?

one time, when i was in NYC, my friends and i stopped to eat at a small local burrito place, and they had damn good handmade burritos...fantastic food...right across the street was a chipotle
guess where everyone was eating.
i don't get people. i don't get them at all.

[swag]

31. Why not just eat at Subway, since it's obviously right there?

Order a handful of salami without the bread.

Better than spit.

I swear.

PEACE!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

35. Because the man holding the sign saying...

"Why lie? I need money for beer" wouldn't make me a sandwich.

Bastard.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

34. Here's the other pic:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

36. Hehe. You look so happy.

I look stoned.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

38. Actually, I was stoned.

And I was just about to be part of a lesbian sandwich, too.

:evilgrin:

[LostinVA]

44. That's because I have a bellyful of Guinness

I look insane in that photo.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

37. Subway?

:shrug:

[mikeytherat]

39. The "Oliv E Gar Den"?

Sounds classy!

mikey_the_rat

[wildhorses]

40. you guys look great together and starbucks pic is nice too!!

so happy for you two, looks like fun was had by all...where is a pic of thomcat?

[LostinVA]

45. Haruka took a funny one of him with his cats

She's in class today, but I'll ask her to post it later today.

THom has the most unusual cats. We think they are really escaped Government experiments... or maybe trained opossums.

[wildhorses]

49. that is hilarious--

opossums?? :rofl: can't wait to see it but, i won't be back on here til tomorrow....

hugs and lots o love to all
and i will look for the thomcat pic thread when i get back on here sometime late wed or early thurs

[LostinVA]

52. Yes, opossums

They let him hold them upside down while he pets them. So, we figure they must be used to hanging upside down.

[LynneSin]

46. Oh My

:eyes:

[LostinVA]

51. How about them Eagles, Lynne???

[LynneSin]

53. If we were gonna lose to anyone I'm glad it was the Saints

That city could use a few more victories more than Philadelphia needs it.

[KamaAina]

79. Yeah you right chere!

Guess who happened to be in N.O. on game day, because he forgot his plane reservations to Hawai'i (oops, the cat's out of the bag :-) ) were for Sunday instead of Saturday??!!

Early in the day, the streets were basically paved in black and gold, but as the day wore on, Eagles fans started to emerge from the woodwork (must've had a late night Fri. :-) ) By far the most popular jerseys seemed to be McNabb's #5 and Westbrook's #36, with Trotter's #54 somewhat surprisingly leading among defensive players (I would've guessed Dawkins). And, contrary to advance reports, not a single battery or any other foreign object was thrown (at least not at me, but then again, I was wearing street clothes). All in all, a thoroughly worthy opponent. Imagine, for instance, if it had been the Cowboys instead... :scared:

I must confess, I was wondering if you, or perhaps the guy I know who owns Eagles Christmas ornaments, might possibly have made it to town; guess not. :(

[GalleryGod]

80. Bullshit.

[LynneSin]

89. At least it wasn't to the Giants, Cowboys or Skins

This season ended on a bit happier of note

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

67. It was YUMMO!

Then, we had some fun with EVOO.

[ghostsofgiants]

47. I was hoping...

And then you made my dream a reality. :D

Recommended.

[LostinVA]

54. Never doubt us, Primate

Haruka and I are Evil.

[ghostsofgiants]

55. Delightfully evil.

[LostinVA]

57. ThomCat was getting irritated at the tourists in Times Square

They kept walking in front of the camera as they scurried to go eat lunch at the OG. I thought he was gonna go all Staten Island crazy on them.

[ghostsofgiants]

64. Haha, oh you crazy kids.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

68. I'm happy I could make your dream a reality.

[Call Me Wesley]

48. You should be smoking in the pic, at least. ;)

Great pics! Looks like you two had a lot of fun. :hi:

[LostinVA]

50. We did -- we had a blast

And, we made it through the weekend without ThomCat kicking us out.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

78. I'll do that when we eat at the one in northern NJ.

Mmm...Olive Garden and Camel lights.

[JackBeck]

58. Very funny.

And you both were right around the corner from me!

I've eaten there before with my husband and his parents. It's the only place they wanted to go, really.

[LostinVA]

59. I didn't realize you lived in NYC

Damn! I would have liked to have met you.

[JackBeck]

60. I lived in Brooklyn for 10 years and we recently bought our first place.

In New Jersey, of course, since it's too expensive around here nowadays. But I still work in NYC. Very close to Times Square. It would have been nice to meet you as well.

[LostinVA]

61. Damn

I'll be in NONJ at least once a month visiting Haruka, so maybe we can plan a lunch or something. I promise not to tell your husband about your smoking in the condo...

[JackBeck]

62. I cleaned the hell out of that place before he got home.

I only did it a few times anyway.

Lunch would be great. Definitely keep me in mind and let me know when you'll be around.

[LostinVA]

63. Definitely

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

65. Yeah, we totally have to do lunch sometime.

:D

[JackBeck]

66. Sounds like a plan.

I look forward to meeting local DUers.

:hi:

[sniffa]

69. you two are so adorabLe!!

and good on you eating at the NYC oLive garden. i hear it's the best restaurant in manhatten. :bounce:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

70. Yup, it has no garlic or actual EYE-talians anywhere.

It's YUMMO!

[LostinVA]

71. I agree -- I don't like EYE-talians

They aren't even American.

And what the hell is EVOO? Good old US of A corn oil isn't good enough for them???

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

73. All oil tastes the same ever. Why waste money on that EVOO crap?

And I only like Americans.

[LostinVA]

75. That's why I like the house wine at OG

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

76. Rancid Welch's grape juice.

:9

[Call Me Wesley]

81. Oh! There goes your invitation to my

Tuscany palazzo and vineyard. Scratch the visit to George Clooney, too. :(

[LostinVA]

82. *gasp*

I'm lying!!!! My father's family is Sicilian!!!!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

83. I could say something, but it'd be offensive.

[Call Me Wesley]

84. Sicilian?

Uh ... oh ... :hide:

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

85. STFU

[Call Me Wesley]

87. Ha! There!

Yep, definitely Sicilian! :rofl:

[LostinVA]

88. Watch it, Swiss Boy

[Call Me Wesley]

91. Some Swiss ... ;)

Che cavolo! Other heritages are beyond belief. :)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

92. I'm "some Swiss," too!

I don't like that part of the family, though. They're all insane and Freeperish.

[Call Me Wesley]

93. Where did they came from?

The fun fact for Switzerland is that there's no North vs. South actually. The most conservative states are in the very middle.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

94. I'm not sure. Somewhere in the German speaking part.

My grandmother and aunt were over there a few months ago visiting.

[Call Me Wesley]

95. Well, I'm from Zurich ...

... I have the brains! :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

86. Yo, she has "connections."

So do I, actually, but of the crazy Irish sort.

[Call Me Wesley]

90. LOL! I wasn't even talking about 'connections.'

I was once eating lunch with a local Don in Milan. But you know, Sicily is treated like the South in the US. My family though made it's way up to Tuscany - it was a long way to go from the Crusade ...

[Arugula Latte]

72. All-you-can-eat breadsticks!

:woohoo:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

74. Mmm...thawed white bread!
