My Right Foot eats Chocolate Mousse Cake at The Chef

2009-01-28T00:24:00.000-08:00

It's always nice to find a place where you can chill out, have great cappuccinos and freshly baked pastries and the like. The Chef Bakery in Richmond, right next to Melville, is unpretentious and all the better for it. One warning though, do NOT under any circumstances ask for fried eggs. You will be escorted off the premises according to the menu, but they will do omelettes and "strangled" eggs. The Chef, Stuart McClarty, is allowed to have his foibles I guess.
I found this quote from The Times:

The smallish shop, painted bubble-gum pink, is wrapped around a corner of the delightfully un chi-chi Menton Road near Melville, a breadroll’s throw from the Bohemian (one of the oldest and seediest drinking holes on this side of town), so it’s certainly not drawing the crowds through its glam location. But draw them it does. It’s developed a cult-type following, with the designers, actors and media types who favour this side of town, hunched over coffees, running back to their workplace with bags of croissants or recovering from hangovers over scrambled eggs at pavement tables in the sun.

The Chef, 17 Menton Road, Richmond, 011 482 1883, weekdays 6.30am-5pm, Saturdays 7am-1pm

My Right Foot watches Don Draper clean his Right Hand

My favourite funniest moment in Mad Men Season 2 Episode 3 “The Benefactor”:

Don Draper wipes his hand clean on a napkin. He has just returned to the table right after “reaching up Bobbie’s skirt” and “putting some pressure” on her to make sure her man Jimmy apologise to his client’s wife for directing his comic ire at her largesse.

Here’s how the makers describe it: “At dinner, Jimmy flirts with Betty (Draper) and ignores Mrs. Schilling (the Hindenburg) until Don corners Bobbie in the powder room and puts on some pressure. When she says that an apology is going to cost $25,000 Don grabs her by the hair and reaches up her skirt threatening to ruin Jimmy if he doesn’t make amends before the appetizers are over.”

PS Congrats for the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards.

"An army without leaders, is like a foot without a big toe." Write that down.

I read a tweet on twitter about Big Foot being discovered or something, and since it would be a footworthy story, I did a Big Foot search. Oh my. You gotta check this out. Not the Big Foot I was expecting. No, ladies, this is the Big Foot Toy Bag. An Aladdin's Cave. To see what's inside visit For Your Nymphomation. WARNING: Not for feet below size 5.

My Best Foot

2009-01-04T11:18:00.000-08:00

My right foot is my best foot, and being the best foot, I'm putting it forward. It occurred to me that since I'm stepping into a new future, my best foot will always take me there first. And it has interesting perspectives too! No longer just a part of my anatomy, my right foot has personality and taste. A bit of humour too.
