Balthazar cookbook

Steven: See W? I don't understand?
Me: Oliver Stone, W -
Steven: Hmmmm. Ollie is an absurd, coke-snorting, self-righteous, bed-wetting, conspiracy-theory, liberal dickhead. I'm not sure I want to see/hear Ollie's opinions on W. But I used to love Stone. And love his work. He is just a known fuck-up in the industry.
Me: what are you doing later?
Steven: Just picked up girls from school. We are listening to the Cars greatest hits. Having spenser steaks, fries, fruit, and creme brule ice cream tonight. But my true favorite is Papaya King. Yummmm. Gray's Papaya fucking ROCKS. I'm definitely not macho boy. I like cute things!! My "gayness" only runs to having an opinion on women's fashion and a few other things. I 've got chicks down cold. I live in Libville, my deragotary name for Seattle. It's full of whiny, activist, self-loathing liberal types. Although I do actually like the place a lot. And I am rather liberal myself on some fronts. Just not a fan of the mean-spirited, bitter ones.
Me: Can you be a democrat and a liberal at the same time?
Steven: Democrats are usually liberals darling. I am a liberal Republican. That's harder to be. Of course you are a liberal democrate: you are a chick and you're french. I am liberal on social issues. I believe in women's rights, gay rights, everybody's silly human rights. But I am conservative on fiscal (economic) issues. I believe in minimal taxes. I believe in business. I believe in military strength as a form of foreign policy. I think war is effective. I am not religious. I believe, mostly, in personal responsibility. Hmmmm. That sort of sums it up.
Me: And what is your relationship with food?
Steven: Usually I just eat it. Never obsessed. Not an obsessive guy. I have a little OCD I guess. Certain issues with numbers, placement of objects, symetry. Stuff like that. Crooked pictures. Crooked books on a coffee table. I don't like certain numbers. Numbers ending in 1 or 3. It's kinda random. I have far bigger issues with symetry. I don't like to see only three sides of a box, for instance. I like food. Especially French. I have the Balthazar cookbook. Yummy. I can make my own fries, frisee salad avec lardon and poached egg, steaks (of course) and a world class profiterole. That's all I need.
