ask for another. The iwashi (fresh sardine) were carefully deboned teasing away the spine and feathery bones with the finger tips. He pointed out that the soft fine-boned skeleton can’t be removed with a knife. He yanked off...

for the not crispy nor especially fresh tasting puffed rice (more like noodles) The chaat were all ordered spicy and I found them to have more heat than other chaat I have had- I enjoyed the mouth tingling with the cool yogurt,...

OOOh, don’t go there! This is obviously an ingrained behavior. Talking to her in unlikely to change her behavior, and risks pissing her off. If you value the relationship, (which it sounds as if you do),suck it up and go...

is incredibly trippy for geography. Within a four hour trip you can go from Arizona desert to Nebraska cornfield to Forida citrus groves to Rocky Mountains. It happens in a wink of an eye, like a scale model of what we think of...

the people doing it or shave any money off the tip because I figure they are just trying to do their job. I tried using humor once at my favorite diner and let out with a horrified nooooo! But not too loud. The waitress told me...

they took it off the bill, but, really, we’re disappointed we wasted a meal here, and I wanted to post to warn others to stay away. My girlfriend had the salad with tuna and it was practically all iceberg lettuce, doused in...
