I'm in Barcelona now, teaching statistics to Catalan undergraduates. In Spanish. Joder.

You probably want hardboiled eggs
I have this friend who hates bocadillos. Everything that I love about them, the way they don't fuck around with condiments or vegetables or overdo it with the meat, he hates. Somehow we remain friends. We had plans to have lunch today but didn't get around to meeting up until around 5pm. If it's 5pm in Barcelona and one member of your party vetoes bocadillos and the other vetoes fast food, your lunch options are extremely limited. The only people who reliably eat meals at times like 5pm are tourists, so after blocks and blocks and blocks and blocks of closed restaurants, we eventually ended up at a Lebanese place near the Sagrada Familia. No bocadillos, and the service was dead slow, so we both kind of got what we wanted, within constraints. And lentil soup and beer is good for the flu, right?
