Welcome to “Concert At Yoshi’s” on the What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast
I went to see a jazz concert at Yoshi’s in my wheelchair, and it was pretty easy, for a change. I made a lot of vegetarian bean chili ahead of a trip to the ranch, and the vegetarians approved of it.
Shout outs
- Shout outs to Claude Hopper who listened to Wheelchair Dining Experience and wrote in to laugh about the banana salad
- My mom told me that I should have complained about the restaurant experience, but I have worked in restaurants for a long time and I think that things can go wrong very easily, so I declined. Kind of a cop out. I was like it’s not gonna make my experience any better to complain.
- Write me an email john@hoppinworld.com and I will give you a shout out, perhaps the best shout out you will ever have. What are you waiting for? Send me an email john@hoppinworld.com
- Mom reminded me how the meal was like a car crash and i couldn’t look away because It was like I was driving and I crashed my car. Maybe I was like a passenger in a taxi where the driver got into a horrible accident and killed someone and was at fault I was not at fault but I experienced it. And I paid for it. Rest in peace to that dinner
- I’ll complain next time.
Ads R Cheesy
- It’s still true that I’ve never had an advertisement on WTMWM?, but I was watching TV with my son and they had an advertisement for this nut company and I have to say that I order nuts and raisins a lot. they also sell cheese powder and I’m interested in that. so if the nuts people come calling, I might do it, for the cheese powder
Eight Cans Of Beans

- I made a gallon and a half of bean chili, to bring to the ranch. it got good reviews from the vegetarians who ate it up. I wanted to see if making vegetarian chili from canned beans was possible, and it worked out.
- My buddy grilled some carne asada and onions, which mixed into the bean chili just right, lending good meaty flavor and satisfying some more primal urges.

- This jazz concert at Yoshi’s was accessible in my wheelchair
- I just had to call in the afternoon to let them know I was coming that night, and they reserved a table for my wife and I
- They gave us a good table with a clear vantage point and we enjoyed the show. We were not off to the side, or around the corner. It was easy to get to my seat, and I had a clear path to the bathroom which was useful because i had two whiskey sours
Spatula Debates
![spatula](https://whatsthematterwithme.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/spataula-1030x690.jpeg)
Spatula appears in English for the first time in 1525, when it morphs from being a weapon to a utensil most commonly used at apothecaries. Today, it describes any cooking tool with a long handle and a thin flexible blade.
Source: 8 Common Spatulas and How To Use Them
- We got into a debate during the making of chili about spatulas: are they for smoothing things out, or flipping them.
- Turns out, there are a lot of different things that you could call a spatula
Domestic Things
- We received the bed and the fridge
- The mattress is not a lumpy nightmare
- The fridge is keeping things cold, but well short of freezing
I Drove Them
