Seriously, it’s always so crowded above 16th and Mission.

It’s finally here, almost! Bike Basket Pies explains:

The recipe booklet is finally being released! Bike Basket Pies: How to Make Handheld Pies for Bicycle Delivery includes 14 seasonal pie recipes and illustrations by Minty Lewis.

There’s a release party at Pot + Pantry on Tuesday, November 29th – it’s BYOPie (not required, of course), and there’ll be champagne (and pie!). [link]

Can’t wait! RSVP and invite your friends!

Fayes Video posted a fun rant last night called “I HATE THE HOLIDAYS.” Here goes:

First off the views of this post do not represent that of Fayes or other employees of Fayes.

Secondly, I had a fine childhood, thanky very much, don’t project your dysfunctional family christmas mornings when your sister ripped off the head of your cabbage patch kid in retaliation after you “accidentally” stepped on her life size replica of,    ___. Meanwhile your mom’s getting high in the backyard because it’s the only way she can talk to her in-laws when they call any minute, any minute…any minute, she stayed up all night wrapping the presents sipping whatever she stole from the rest of the holiday office party’s booze.  It’s not my fault your dad’s obsessively putting away the christmas lights, because he too hates christmas and told mom “those lights are coming down christmas morning.” If there’s a contest to see who can leave them up the longest in the neighborhood, he’s going to win in taking them down first, and hopefully the god-damn Carvers across the street will follow suit and remove those god-damn battery powered waving santa clauses off their lawn, despite how many years he’s “accidentally” run them over with car.

Read on.

Our friends up the hill at Bernalwood are monitoring the story closely:

Those gastronomically intrepid gals from Rice Paper Scissors are back again, and this time they’re bringing the party inside from the street to get out of the cold with a unique version of a classic:

Our first underground dinner will be centered around Laque Duck, a Vietnamese take on Peking Duck. We’re also making duck confit imperial rolls, wok fried chinese green beans, and coconut sorbet using fresh ‘nutz from Oscar on 22nd Street.

If everything goes as planned, Laque Duck will be the new turkey.  Check out all the details here!

UPDATE: Yep, uh-huh.

But we should still probably try to save for retirement, right?
