i'm gonna weigh 250 pounds soon...

i thought i should temper my last gastronomical rant with a less refined, heapin’ helpin’ of greasy goodness…
liz and i almost burst our ear drums with all the high-pitched squeals we emitted in my car the other day. we feared the one and only joetsu city KFC was going out of business because it currently looks like a demolition zone. not sure why i was so concerned considering i’ve eaten there once in 2 years, but that’s neither here nor there. well, they’ve put some signs out front to keep the locals informed and, guess what!!!?!?, it’s morphing into a KFC and Pizza Hut combination!! oh double cheese dreams and lots of pepperonis and black olives and pan crust and chicken filet sandwich/personal pan pizza combo meals! my obsession with cheese dictates that i love pizza and the only current pizzeria that delivers, strawberry cones [leave it to the japanese to name a pizza parlor after ice cream], offers little reprieve from corn, mayo, cod roe, wiener and squid infested pies. we are so hard up for real pizza, in an act of desperation, we patronized pizza huts in thailand and china. YEAH for pizza hut!!! i’m glad something knocked some sense into the pepsi co. stuffed shirts who had overlooked the bustling metropolis of joetsu, niigata as a perfect home for a franchise. next up, chick-fil-a!!…or wait, maybe taco bell!!..oh no, we really need a subway!! yes, cold cuts!! that just sounds pitiful doesn’t it?!
