FBI hoped to catch Iranian terrorists by looking for spike in falafel sales

You know, it would be funny if it weren't real. But it's real, so it's depressing. Two things: 1. A US university education (you need at least a bachelor's to join the FBI) is not sufficient to beat out the stupid. 2. They don't sell falafel at Iranian restaurants, or at least they didn't at the dearly missed Persian House in Portland. Kebabs, yes, but not falafel. Mmm, falafel. Tastes like anti-Americanism.

I WANT FALAFEL

You're in France! They have lots of Arab immigrants! Get some falafel!

Oh I know! Don't mistake this particular caps-locked outburst for desperation I can't remedy quickly (which is the case with my Starbucks cravings).

OH MY GOD THERE'S STARBUCKS IN BARCELONA. That's closer than Paris and I was going to go anyway...I just screamed quietly in this staff room. And again.

We should get Iranian food while I'm in town.

Just because.

Unfortunately, Seattle doesn't do so good in the Iranian food department. Hell, it doesn't do very good in Arab/Lebanese food either, unless you want falafel. I have yet to find a place to equal Persian House in Portland. I miss their fessenjan.

You just had to remind me of Nicholas's, didn't you? Now I am missing their peach smoothie things something fierce. Damn you, Adrienne. Damn YOUUUU!
