For the next three months - 3 am rambles of a tired brain lmao

For the next three months (which is before school), I’m just gonna learn more music stuff and work on art stuffs. I figured I’d do creatively productive activities before I get busy (even though I’ll have some art classes, but I’m not sure what type of classes they’re gonna be for my first semester before I speak to an academic adviser and set up my schedule) : D 

I feel like I learned a lot of stuff regarding digital art and even the music stuff that I’m interested in, and even though I’ve been pretty depressed at times over the last 6 months, I had a lot of time and still have more time to invest in my interests. 

One thing of traditional artwork that I’d like to get more practice with is watercolors. I ended up buying a lot of art paper (and a music thing (SERUM, a vst thing) + a dress and a couple of necklaces) and I have a lot of art supplies right now (what was severely lacking was paper for illustrations, gotta wait for them to arrive), so I’ll be able to get to town on my art stuffs. Woot. 

One thing I’d like to try when I go to university is a jewelry making class. Lol, I bought so much jewelry over the last few years, because I found so many creative pieces on Amazon and Etsy. :P Got my cosmic shizzie, them some steampunk pieces, fractal pieces (yeah, that fits under cosmic), some owls, etc etc. I wonder if I would be able to make my own necklace pieces.

Mr. Pickles: A.I.F

MR. PICKLES: 2

LOCATION: DUBLIN, CA

WWW.MRPICKLES.COM

First review! OKAY. I have been to this shop before... We are re-visiting shops to give a fresh review for the crew. A lot of these initial reviews are kind of like backlogging past experiences simply to get caught up. We MUST knock out some of these bigger, franchise players on our search. For you non bay area foodies, Mr. Pickles is a California small sandwich shop franchise, based primarily in the San Francisco bay area. I was extremely HOPEFUL of this shop, being a Bay Area champion, but I found it to be like a NEGLECTED Subway on its last leg. 

Like most Mr. Pickles, this particular shop was located in an older, suffering, strip mall. The franchise get’s decent reviews, but we have to assume that much of this is based on the other meat based sandwiches (MBS) - as crew of the albacore, we do not CARE. We are seeking only one thing: TUNA.  

It is important to note, we will ALWAYS order from the menu as-is. We want to experience THEIR suggested sandwich or recipe. So, as much as possible, we will not add in our personal likes for condiments, toppings, etc. In most cases, if given the option, we will always defer to the standard lettuce, tomato, onion (LTO). Otherwise, off-menu only. 

Lets start the analysis!

BREAD: 4

This is an incredibly important part of the sandwich - and possibly the redeeming factor for Mr. Pickles! Many shops will give you an option, so to  try and establish a base criteria to judge from - we will always defer to french (bread or roll), dutch crunch, or the standard white bread option. In this case, I went with dutch crunch. 

The bread was the best part of this meal! Soft, fluffy, FIRM, and with a nice crunch on top. Offering dutch crunch alone, is a nice touch that some shops just do not offer - this bread tasted fresh, with a great texture and nice fluff. It did not taste generic like Subway breads often do. Not the best Dutch Crunch I have had, but I damn well respect you for providing what you did. 

TUNA QUALITY: 2

The tuna itself should be solid or chunk white albacore, IMO. Sometimes, the tuna is “light tuna”, which is cheaper, and usually a mix of tuna, skipjack, big-eye, yellowfin, and bunch of other small-tuna variety. WHAT. There is a taste and texture difference - do not play games with me! 

THIS WAS LIGHT TUNA!!! 

“YOU ARE NOT HARD-CORE, UNLESS YOU ARE ALBA-CORE!”

MIX: 2

Okay, now we are getting into the depths of the deep! Nothing special here, but right away there was some major NO NO’s. First, way too much pepper - are you trying to mask something, Mr. Pickle? The tuna salad itself was laced with way too much pepper. Not to mention, the salad was RUNNY. C’mon folks, you know this scenario - when the tuna salad sits for way to long, and the mayo becomes watery, YUCK. No one likes a tuna salad that sits in a watery mayo base, AMIRIGHT! Now for the toppings (again, went standard LTO here). The shredded lettuce, onion, and tomato were clearly once frozen - it has that... DE-THAWED taste to it, much like Subway. However, the Cheese slice was nice and thick (cheddar), and the avocado was a nice touch. 

BONUS: You get a FREE cookie with your sandwich - My daughter, will write upon this in her CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE blog (yep, you heard that right) soon enough. This is was a nice touch. 

AMBIANCE: 1

Mr. Pickle. I REALLY wanted to love you. A Bay Area native, who dreamed of one day, not just becoming a pickle to be discarded - but pulling yourself up from your own pickle-boot straps to create a local sandwich chain... Love it. But, the sandwich was losing me, and the ambiance was not great. The shop operates like a TOGOS (another Cali sandwich chain) - where you have “stations” of sandwich makers to help people in line, yet you cannot see any ingredients, you are at the mercy of being called to the bench (so to speak)...there is a lot of sandwich making trust-talk that occurs as the artist nervously looks down and scrambles around with their hands (as the customer, you cannot see this! You just see someone with their head down, fiddling around with their hands. Then, you are sent to the cashier with no sandwich, nervously hoping they got everything right as you yelled your specifics over the high counter to someone who truly could not care. It kinda feels like pleading your case to a judge or something? I DUNNO! The result at both shops is always a bit disorganized and chaotic, especially when busy. Call me crazy, but I am just not a fan of this kind of ordering process - more on this later when we review TOGOS. 

HERE WAS MY SANDWICH ARTIST:

The tables were aligned parallel, with only about a half-foot distance from the ordering line. Which means, you get to eat with the line of people hovering right above you - thats right. Ass in face style. Since you are seated - and the line is standing, it is just a fact of science - and not the best way to dine - GROSS.

It feels and looks like a Subway - but without the mega franchise bucks to make it comfortable. There is no real character to the place.

The cashier had to fulfill a catering order at NOON, that took up so much damn time, people in line were leaving - and pissed! Otherwise, everyone was nice enough, and the staff seemed genuine. 

ORIGINALITY: 3

MR. PICKLE: You get some PROPS for the FREE COOKIE! 

OVERALL:

Great bread choice. Free cookie - everything else was sub-par. Do not fret, Mr. Pickle - we WILL return and know that you will step up your tuna fish game by focusing on the tuna salad, the mix, and fixing the horrendous ambiance. 

SCORE: 2.0

When I’m craving a good #TunaMelt I know where to go, @cookshopnyc in #Chelsea! Lightly dressed & olive oil poached #AlbacoreTuna w/ olives, capers, red onions, and mixed greens on a lightly toasted semolina raisin bread & melted fontina cheese. Yum! It’s one of a few dishes that’s always on their mostly seasonal menu bc it’s in high demand. #GetIt #jeaniuseats #cookshopnyc #besttunamelt #tunafish #tunafishsandwich #nycsandwich #nyceats #nycfoodie — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/bTOCAcg

Catson has a Catkid! That's amazing. :) Thank you for sharing the photo.

He has five children, actually. (Possibly a sixth with another lady cat- the kitten who lives outside in suspiciously orange and round, in my opinion, and his age lines up with Catson's Big Adventure Outside. I call him Orange Boy, and he has a beautiful loud yelling voice for whenever there is not sufficient catfood outside for him and his mother TunaFishSandwich).But anyway. Two of his daughters still live at home with him and their mom, the incomparably lovely and regal Waffles. Another two daughters share an apartment in Kyoto. His son is rooming with a rescue cat named Burrito, also in Kyoto, who needed a slightly more experienced kitten to apprentice under, since Burrito had no siblings and was separated from his mom before he learned How To Cat.
