Julia’s Wallingford, meh

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

I wanted to get some food in me before I picked up yet another lusciouliscious Europa from Chocolati, so stopped by Julia’s Wallingford.  I was a little annoyed that I couldn’t get a lunch menu, even though it was after 11am, but whatever, I’ll try the Chicken Fried Steak, I think.

small mistake

I would have been happier leaving and finding someplace else to eat, I think.  The meat is low-grade, pounded paper thin, and covered in a mediocre breading, underneath a lackluster gravy, with nary a taste of spice to be found.  The potatoes looked pretty, but were similarly under tasty.  Don’t get me wrong, everything was cooked properly, just to a different level of taste than I like in my food.

Arcana at Open Circle Theater

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

Went to see the play “Arcana” at the Open Circle Theater, Saturday night.

Rather than one play, it was more a series of short pieces, loosely linked by a Tarot theme to their titles, if not literally their subject matters.  All the pieces were entertaining, in parts funny, other parts surreal.  During the piece with the nude, it wasn’t clear to me if the people were supposed to be on acid, ecstasy, or some post-death supernatural state of confusion.  It was all enjoyable, whatever it meant.  Check it out.
