Birthday dinner, and then a deck luau
Went out to dinner at Penang with some friends for my birthday Tuesday. It’s a very good Malaysian restaurant in Chinatown. Followed by a few drinks at Omni Parker House.
Then, on Friday, a friend had a Deck Luau, and we grilled stuff and drank rum drinks. I made some Spam musubi.

Bacon chocolate chip cookies with maple cinnamon glaze
OK, I don’t think I’ll be trying this recipe.

Buddha’s Delight Restaurant
So, since I started eating some solid food — crackers, other bland carbohydrates — yesterday, I was craving congee (or rice porridge, or rice soup). I walked a bit around Chinatown looking for a likely place, and decided to go into the Buddha’s Delight Vegetarian Restaurant after deciding against a couple of other places. Just my luck, they had something called “rice soup” which I ordered in the hope that it was congee. And it was. It was very good, too. Amazingly good. It had tofu, mushrooms (a few types), and some taukee embedded with peppercorns. Plus the usual garnish of scallions, cilantro, and slivers of ginger. I ordered a couple of spring rolls, and some Chinese leek dumplings with it. The dumplings were very good, too. Patties of glutinous rice flour mixed with leek slices, and pan fried. The dumplings and congee would be a perfect breakfast meal.

Eat and Destroy
Now, Eat and Destroy is what a restaurant review site should be like. It’s a blog, basically, with each review an entry. But the thing I really like is that they take pictures of the actual dishes they tried.

Amazon Restaurants?
When did Amazon start running a restaurant review section?
BTW, France over Brazil 1-0. Sucks. I was looking forward to watching Brazil.

Romanesco redux
I found some romanesco at Whole Foods last week. It’s tasty: sort of a milder, sweeter version of cauliflower.

Espresso Royale Caffe
In my search for open-access wifi, I found the newbury open.net. I just headed to Newbury St (sort of a Park Slope, Brooklyn feel), and looked for a café with open wifi. What do I see? An Espresso Royale Caffe, my home away from home while in Ann Arbor. (I forgot to take pix of the café before I left Ann Arbor.)
The newbury open.net site has a copy of a N. Gupta’s Master’s thesis in Comparative Media Studies, entitled “Grande Wi-Fi: Understanding What Wi-Fi Users Are Doing in Coffee-Shops”. It’s linked on their publications page.

The Village Corner
The Village Corner is a great little store: the best wine selection in the midwest, and ditto on cigars. They stock several good cigars for under $4 there: Flor de Farach (robusto), Cusano Corojo 1996 (robusto), and Indian Tabac Puck.
