Have you heard a peacock before?

As I was getting out of my conveyance, I heard this shrill call pierce through the air. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out where it came from.


Behold, the majestic peacock (waiting on tables it seems)!

Explain this to me

Ithe title of this sculpture is "Listener" by Karen Petersen. I see the head facing upward. How is that listening?

Redoing the roof

A couple of years from now, this is what my roof will look like once all the shingles have been removed. I am not looking forward to the bill...

Could go for some dragon...

I really miss freshly cutup and chilled dragon fruit. I distinctly remember finding some in chinatown a couple of years ago but I have not seen it since.

NR - Last part of the show

Hmm, it's a really cold show.

Sam's Soul Food reminds me of a Jamaican joint in Maine. Then again, maybe The Feeding Tree will satisfy my jerk needs.

Diner. Go get some. I have always read about Marlow and Sons and I would not mind learning how to butcher a cow. Hey, then I can head over to Diner and eat what I just worked through.

NR - Almost there

I have always dreamed of a dim sum breakfast. I gotta say, this looks likes a great place to go to. I have the usual shrimp dumplings and the pork ones. It has been a while since I have had duck feet. Mmmm tripe! I remember the restaurants I went to when I was a kid and there were people who go around with these steaming racks. Me want my har gow!

I never had the opportunity to see the arepa lady but this taco place is my kind of fast food. Mmm no gringo tacos for me (though I confess to my Chipotle addiction).

NR - Thirty Minutes in

New Asha is a Sri Lanka restaurant. I am interested in the black curry because of another NR episode about Sri Lanka itself. Imagine toasted spices (the black in black curry) in your curry. Yum!

Tiki restaurant? Not really sure about that.

NR - Next 10 minutes

Mmm you would think that a temple would not have an open to the public canteen. I am really digging the dosas.

Sik Gaek is my kind of seafood restaurant. Live octopus! Come on. I am looking forward to the large hot pot with the bucket for your left over shells and bits.

NR - First 10 minutes

Mmm, the Golden Shopping Mall reminds me of the different food stalls in Singapore or the mini-shops at Greenhills Shopping Center.

No Reservations - NYC Outer Boroughs

We are an occasional viewer of No Reservations. What got us excited today is tonight's episode about New York City's Outer Boroughs. I always thought Manhattan is New York City but apparently it is composed of five boroughs. I really have not had the chance to see all there is to see in NYC but I have been to Coney Island and some parts of Queens. Hopefully, all the restaurants in tonight's episode will be enticing enough for me to go out and get some grub!
