Paused preparations for our upcoming home move to seek comfort (food) at our local Japanese restaurant, Zen Box Izakaya: tonkotsu ramen. NHK (Japanese television) was showing a segment about cleaning airport toilets. “It’s good to think of others,” declared one of the cleaners.

First Lunch of 2019
Surly Furious and Summit EPA (local brews) plus Reubens. Lunch at our local (Maxwell’s), New Year’s Day 2019.
Christmas Food, UK-Style
Enjoyed Christmas pudding, ice cream, and whipped cream. Later we had Christmas cake which a friend made in the UK and managed to get through customs.
Hazel’s
On a Nordeast Minneapolis walk with a friend, stopped into Hazel’s for a caloric brunch. Top-notch food, and art that demanded attention.
Cranberries in the Stuffing
Thanksgiving Day 2018, a good day to celebrate friends and family, and to be grateful. We put fresh cranberries in the stuffing.
Ice Cream Tubs with RFID Tags
Popped next door to Izzy’s for a treat. Their ice cream tubs have RFID tags, so I can check here to see what is being scooped right now.
Marmalade Run
Cycled over to Lunds & Byerlys to stock up on marmalade. My rules for marmalade are simple:…It doesn’t have “jelly” or “spread” on the label…Made with good, old-fashioned sugar (no other sweeteners)…You can’t read through it…Enjoying the marmalade requires chewing.
Lunch at the American Indian Center
My lunch treat was a buffalo melt at the American Indian Center.
Open Books
Slowed down for breakfast at Open Book’s cafe. Hundreds of miniature open books hang from the ceiling.
Good for the Soul
It was a good day for lunch with tater tots, and pulled pork topped with crispy onions, washed down with Surly Furious. Coleslaw provided guilt-alleviating cruciferous.
