Tidbits

  • Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…

  • A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles.  I wanna play!

  • Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places.  2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.

  • A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…

  • An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies.  I smell a lawsuit.

  • Will trade beer for Crumpler bags.  Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

Attempts at Chinese Cooking: Chicken

January 19, 2007 | Food |

I make Japanese-style curry all the time, it’s easy using those curry bars you get at T&T.  But such a dish lack greens.  And all that’s fresh in the fridge is a head of romaine lettuce.  I wanted to steam it so it will go “better” but Mike was lazy and served it raw.  After munching on a leaf by itself and feeling like a rabbit, inspiration hit and we started wrapping it around balls of curry rice.

Another Season, Another Problem with the House
