February 2010!
I can’t believe it’s really February already.
I’m becoming addicted to the chips from Food Should Taste Good (interesting review of the chips).
Hat tip from Angry Asian Man: a cool profile on Grant Imahara from “Mythbusters” on Discovery Channel.
Another hat tip from Angry Asian Man (and here too): Yet another one of those “What is it [...]

Chilly October
Amy Tan gets braised in San Francisco (rather than roasted).
Mark Bittman with a bak choy with shittake and oyster sauce recipe. The video was also a good watch; seems simple. I’m not into mushrooms, but the oyster sauce – well, that’s brown sauce that’s good for something anyway.
Fascinating story about Tom Dunn, a [...]

Post Labor Day
“Even old New York was once New Amsterdam…” — we’re apparently celebrating the 400th anniversary of Hudson on the river, with the Dutch monarchy in town.
The NY Times on bento boxes.
The president making a speech on telling kids to work hard in school and all that stuff — honestly, it’s either going to bore [...]

Labor Day Weekend!
I wish summer didn’t have to end.
Catching up on reading: Time Magazine on one man’s attempt to stop the tide of suicides in Japan, not a great trend in the middle of a recession.
Hat tip to Angry Asian Man for some great links, namely:
John Cho, in style, Angry Asian Man notes. Not looking like [...]

Summertime
My little web presence will be discontinued this fall, since Yahoo is ending geocities in October. Consider this your last opportunity to check it out! … certainly feel free in giving me ideas on options; I am in deliberation.
Watched “(500) Days of Summer” – sweet, sad, funny; I recommend it. Yeah there are odd [...]

A Very Merry AAIFF Weekend in July
Stand on the Soapbox time: I read this Michael Daly column in the (dead tree) Daily News newspaper. He made good points: NYC is not South Dakota, nor should we apologize for having some questions for people who carry concealed weapons (for instance – why is your weapon concealed? Are you up to [...]

Hip hop comes to China, via Chinese American expats and general American influence. Could it mean (political) expression? Hmm.
Apparently, US Dept. of Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner, is having a great time visiting China. Besides the job of reassuring people that the US economy isn’t totally imploding, he gets to use his Mandarin [...]

Tuesday – Wednesday recap
Stayed at the Sheraton Fisherman’s Wharf. I wish it had a minifridge, but otherwise it was comfortable and well situated. Valet parking was $38; kind of steep. Will keep it in mind for my next trip.
Across the street is a Barnes & Noble – quiet, low traffic, high selection. Trader Joe’s and a Safeway make [...]

450 miles to Poke’
Made our road trip from Orange County to San Francisco Tuesday. I was in charge of getting in and out of cities, and P handled driving the long wastelands between the north and south. At about the 100 mile mark, we stopped at Carl’s Jr. – I got the Buffalo Chicken sandwich, she got [...]

San Fran Recap
Back in Brooklyn since Tuesday night; got sidetracked due to travel fatigue; errands; and that Great American Dread: Jury Duty (see next post). Below is a Long Post; this is what I get for not blogging for awhile. Hopefully you’ll be entertained.
See the posts for Thursday and Friday for what my sibs [...]
