Sigh. I miss posting here. It's also a PITA to manage dual identities. That is all. For the moment. ;) P.s. -- Does anyone actually read this thing anymore? I admit it's ugly AF, especially after...
Gods, this thing is ugly after I went to the free version of Typepad. Oh well. I asked for it, I guess.
I seem to have recovered most everything of interest. Good. :) 👍 🤘
Well, I lost access to the e-mail address I use here. I removed it from the blog sidebar, but I'm not looking forward to fixing other stuff. OTOH, I don't write here anymore anyway, right? :(
First impression on taking out the black plastic stopper: brown sugar, even before the alcohol shows up. On further sniffs, I start to think molasses instead of brown sugar, but I'm not sure what...

First impression on taking out the stopper (an artificial cork set in a wooden enlargement): saline black olive. There's a green note under the olive that I assume on further exploration will res...

Dashi is open: Dashi Ramen It's just inside the loop, on East Chapel Hill Street between Rue Cler and Mangum Street. Coincidentally, I ran into this story today, and since Durham now has an izaka...

I do wish the Plugra had been on sale. Although it's 8 pounds of butter, I still left some for the next person though. ;) By the way, it's November. You know what that means....

I'll be straight-up with you: one of my worst predictions ever was about Dain's Place. I went in there not long after they opened, and told a friend I'd give them about 6 months before they close...

It's been pretty hard hoeing for anyone trying to do nice food in Durham north of I-85. The last I remember was Patrick's in the old Ole NC Bar-B-Que spot at North Duke Mall, which died an unnatu...

If you have any sense today, you'll stay out of just about any restaurant in Durham and Chapel Hill, and probably Wake County too. If you had the foresight to make reservations a year ago, well, ...

Kinda hard to believe: First post, ten years ago
Pompieri Pizza is now open for business. They've been moved into the "Newly Open" section in the sidebar. Go check it out. Interesting tidbit: they make their own tonic for bar drinks. :)
