My friend Lily told me that she passed by a place with yogurt for 39 cents per ounce. I told Lon about it and he didn’t believe me. I realized that we were just a few steps away from it at Fish, so I went looking for the place after dinner, and there was Yogurtland […]

Fish
Saturday, May 31, 2008
Fish Fish is a no frills seafood bar that seems to know what they specialize in, at the detriment of almost everything else. The raw platter was filled with wonderfully fresh oysters, meaty Fanny Bay’s, delicate Kumamotos, sweet Blue Points, and some others, which I can’t remember the names of. One tasted like an oyster […]
Wallaby Organic Yogurt
Friday, May 30, 2008
I was replenishing my stock of Fage 2% (Greek strained yogurt) today and noticed Wallaby Organic Yogurt on sale. There’s so many new yogurts around, a good thing since our standard American brands don’t cut it for me, and since I tried Siggi’s Skyr (Icelandic style yogurt) last time, I figured I should give this […]
McDonalds Southern-Style Chicken Sandwich
Friday, May 30, 2008
You may recall the other day I mentioned trying McDonald’s new breakfast sandwich, the chicken biscuit; well, even if you don’t my stomach did. While I wasn’t a fan, it seems you were, because we got a ton of reader interest about the review; so I sacrificed my bowels via a second trip to […]
Al Forno
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
We ordered from Al Forno Al Forno while we were at Kasi and Stephen’s this weekend and the pizza was good enough to satisfy my pizza craving but not good enough to cause a pizza craving. The main problem being the tasteless mozzarella they use. The sauce is pretty good and the crust is fantastic […]
Sushi Yasuda #12 – Copper River Salmon
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
As I mentioned in my last post on Sushi Yasuda, Copper River Salmon is now available! What’s better than Copper River Salmon? Two types of Copper River Salmon, both shockingly bright orange. On the left is the King Salmon, slightly softer than the Sockeye Salmon on the right. The flavor of both is wonderful yet […]
Secret Empanadas at Universal News
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
The other day, we stopped in at the Universal News on 14th Street Universal News, to buy drinks. I always go there for Vitamin Water since they sell them ice cold for $1.50, which is the cheapest I’ve found, sold retail, without a special sale. This magazine store is part of a chain of 10 […]
Roasted Duck with Cherry Balsamic Glaze
Monday, May 26, 2008
Mmmm….duck, another meal I should not have made right before the wedding. It’s just so delicious though. I also find that whole duck is often over-cooked, or I just prefer under-cooked, whichever way you want to look at it but I don’t like dry meat. This preparation yields a very moist little duck, and it’s […]
Deep River Snacks – Sweet Maui Onion Potato Chips
Monday, May 26, 2008
I picked up a bag of Sweet Maui Onion Potato Chips (made by Deep River Snacks) with lunch and we really liked them. They were reminiscent of Funyuns, which we both apparently ate as kids, but better, since we like the texture of kettle cooked potato chips more. The fancy name really just means sugar, […]
