"Its surroundings make Soup Kitchen International seem courtly. But that’s a small price to pay for such good-natured service and gut-busting Puerto Rican dishes, each one accompanied by a plateful of rice and beans large enough to feed a family of five.
— Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld"

{i stop in at this hole-in-the-wall restaurant several times a year,
its been a part of my New York tradition for my entire life. as a boy i lived a block away for a couple of years,
and my mom picked up take home often enough that, for me, the food here is
"home cooking".
the baked porkchops are "fall off the bone" soft and delicious. and the coffee with steamed milk is my favorite commercial coffee in the entire city, second only to my own home-brewed. ask for it as a "San Juanero" or "Cafe con Leche" it is absolutely divine with a slice of Flan (Caramel Custard).
i should add, this restaurant is open pretty much 24/7 except for Sundays (closed) and the clientele runs the gamut from locals to tourists, take-outs to sit-ins-to counter; dress is from jeans and t-shirt to tux (not kidding).
hipster to corn-fed squares . . . everyone feels welcome. }

How to Fast During Lent | eHow.com

By an eHow Contributor
By an eHow Contributor
Lent is a special time during the year when the Church remembers Jesus Christ's time in the desert. He spent 40 days there preparing for His ministry, so Catholics fast for 40 days to prepare for Good Friday and Easter."

Fat Tuesday is coming up in three weeks and though i don't have tickets for the Big Easy,
i 'm feeling ready: i'm fat, that was easy. . . .barump, bump!
what i am NOT ready for is the day after, Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent.
we're supposed to give something up for Lent. the more traditional er, uh, uhm tradition
is to fast for Lent. Fast.
what exactly do they mean by Fast?
are we supposed to stop eating altogether, for forty days?
or, as when we were kids, do we give up meat?
at today's' prices, and given the fashion, giving up meat doesn't
seem much of a sacrifice. maybe giving up on bread will do.
giving up bread would be the hardest, most tortuous of Fasts.
AND, i'm certain to lose in the bread basket department.
hmmmm . . .
but then, there's the WWJD aspect. aren't fish and bread religious food?
a strict diet of fish and bread? nah. fast food joints with their fish sandwhiches would save in a pinch, but the lack of veggies over forty days is sure to create some sort of go to hospital-type emeregency.
fish and chips would prep me for a trip to London, but its the same as the fish and bread thingy.
hmm i've got three weeks to decide. i AM leaning towards the give up bread Fast.
i'll letcha know.

Only heavy marijuana users — those who smoked 20 or more joints a month
— saw a negative impact on the pulmonary system, but that level of marijuana use is unusual, researchers said.
{o'course if you brush your teeth with a joint every day,
your dentist will reward you with goodies for your munchies.}
