Ryan Faces the World

I love Japanese curry.  I first ate it at Hurry Curry in Santa Monica, CA.  Since then, I’ve made it home a bunch of times with those pressed curry blocks you can buy at Japanese groceries.  I’ve had it in other restaurants every once in a while but it seemed like they made it from […]

Very interesting how the technology has evolved. Years ago, you’d give them a blown up copy from your photographer, they’d […]

Jackson Heights may not have a bookstore or a nice supermarket or any kind of anti-litter legislation but it does have a hell of a lot of really good, moderately priced restaurants featuring food from all over the world. Our two favorite Thai restaurants are Arunee and Sripaphai. I am no expert on […]
