No, don’t be silly.  Not even close.  It’s Surprisingly Adequate Friday: Two locked mental wards with assessments of a mute teen; a psychotic Middle Eastern guy; and, a wreck of an ex-opiate addict who was sexually abused.

Thank goodness for the challah from Hi-Rise!  Thank goodness for Bumblebee tuna!  Hip, hip, hooray for Hellman’s!

The day was punctuated by news of interviews about…BACK OF THE HOUSE with America’s Test Kitchen, The Newark Star Ledger, Chronicle, and WBUR.

More news, too, from Saveur: An article about eki-ben in the future; and, of course, a piece on washoku cooking for Sewasdee.

And top it off?!  Turkey meatballs and penne after sunset!
