Pork is My Friend: February 2008
http://porkismyfriend.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Pork is My Friend. Food, Travel, and Culture. Sunday, February 17, 2008. Kyoto Leftovers: Mishima Beef, Grocery Store Sushi, and Plastic Food. Some leftovers from my um, world famous (ahem.) Kyoto in Photos. Series. Most of these were taken while shopping at Takashimaya. Other food shopping photos can be found in my Nishiki Market. Mishima Beef at the basement grocery store in Takashimaya. Just stunning quality here. The ulitmate insult - I found this piece of superb quality beef at a convenience store!

Pork is My Friend. Food, Travel, and Culture. Saturday, April 05, 2008. Keller in the Caf - Making The French Laundry's Lobster Macaroni and Cheese at Work. Chances are that you, like me, probably haven't had the chance to eat at The French Laundry. For those of you living in a cave somewhere, I'll simply say that TFL, under the helm of celebrated chef Thomas Keller. I recently picked up Keller's French Laundry Cookbook. Why not take it all the way to the office cafeteria? I intended to do just that.

Pork is My Friend. Food, Travel, and Culture. Friday, May 09, 2008. My First Homegrown Asparagus. I planted these beauties a couple of years ago, but last year's toothpick thin wisps were only useful as dental floss. This year, for the first time, I have something I can actually eat. So what if they're no bigger around than a #2 pencil. The taste is fantastically sweet - by far the mildest and sweetest asparagus I've ever eaten. All, um, four stalks worth. That's is little fellas. Grow! Links to this post.

Pork is My Friend. Food, Travel, and Culture. Saturday, September 13, 2008. Harper Farms - Mirai Corn and Other Fine Produce. There's corn, and then there's sweet corn. And then, off in a category all its own, there's Mirai. Behold the golden kernels of Mirai- the perfect eating corn. Wait. Do you hear that music? It sounds. like a chorus of angels. And where's that bright light coming from? A bin of Mirai corn at Harper Farms waits for me to come take it home. I won't let it down. Mirai corn may be grea...

Pork is My Friend. Food, Travel, and Culture. Friday, April 24, 2009. Much has been written about Boston’s culinary sensation, Tim and Nancy Cushman's O Ya. A relative newcomer, I first gazed upon the words "O Ya" just last year while reading an in-flight magazine, where it showed up on somebody's list as one of the top new restaurants. O Ya's discreet entrance makes customers feel like they've stumbled upon a great secret. Restaurant live up to the mammoth expectations I had? Was warm and welcoming, and...

Pork is My Friend. Food, Travel, and Culture. Friday, July 25, 2008. Stopover at Tokyo Narita International (NRT). As well as its complimentary Sake bar, I thought that take out would be the wise choice. Besides, there was a sumo match on TV, and come on, who can resist the sight of large, round Japanese men push each other around the floor? Links to this post. Thursday, July 24, 2008. The ANA Experience - Narita/Taipei (NRT/TPE) Route. My tickets were booked a bit late for my trip to Taiwan, so I ended ...

Pork is My Friend. Food, Travel, and Culture. Thursday, May 07, 2009. Xiao Sichuan - Lunch Heats Up. I have to admit that I am not really sure what half of this stuff was, despite my best efforts to find out. So I’ll tell you what I know, but my descriptions are probably going to be pretty lame. One thing I do know quite well though – this food was delicious, and cheap too. One of 3 Dongguan City Xiao Sichuan locations - the name may mean "little Sichuan," but the flavors sure were big. Whole fish soup, ...
