I eat everything.

Within a 15 minute walk of my place are as many legit ethnic food places as there are Americanized food or like pizza joints.

Also got a couple of legit Italian Salumerias, and plenty of Hispanic ingredients at supermarkets and small farmers markets. Couple Indian grocers and some Middle Eastern influenced small shop
Multiple bakeries including a South American one that's off the charts good
Also nearby are a 99 Ranch and H Marts. Also have a huge Indian row in town. A city next door is the best Cuban food in the Northeast.

Since food is one of my great pleasures in life and I have an adventurous palate, this is a big reason I pay to live here. Whether I want to cook at home or get takeout or sit down, I have access to great ethnic ingredients and food joints - on foot or a quick car ride, or with mass transit

I try to liven up this place and all I get are old comments of being high.

Are any excitements in this nursing home of a forum = high / too uppity?

Wake up sheeple.

Fuck the Caps. Fuck them winning. Thankfully, hockey is a small sport with a small following, so that championship never really happened. Fuck Marc Bergevin for trading Eller to Washington and giving them the 3C they never should have had. John Carlson is a little bitch. Thank goodness Pittsburgh cockblocked them all those times.

One of the best things I ate this year was at a really small super casual Uighur Muslim Chinese joint in the city. The grandma made the hand pulled noodles and they were mind blowingly good and everything that came with them and the other dishes too.

I can't wait to go back there for more but it's impossible to eat your way through even just part of the city, plus you go back for seconds and thirds.

Bourdain was asked to put his name on a bunch of things from restaurants to products commercials for travel products probably credit cards. He said no to every one. The only thing he said yes to was creating a Singaporean hawker market in Manhattan.

They were looking for a location on the west side big enough to house 30 to 40 vendors. All Singaporean who would come here to work and establish their businesses.

Of course he passed away, but the Singaporean gentleman who is on all the travel shows when the tv hosts do a food tour there, basically the most famous Singaporean food scholar - he was going to be one of Bourdain's partners.

Well he is still doing it and they just had a soft opening this week. 11 vendors are actual Singaporeans who have gotten work visas and who are running their stalls. Basically a lot of the most famous hawker stands. And like six or seven other vendors that are from other places, I think mostly ethnic Americans. Unfortunately without the Bourdain name some of the vendors from Singapore backed out being a little more cautious about entering a totally new market.

The only downside this one is not too far from times square so the rent is high and the prices are high. But still it's going to be so fun to explore.

The farther west side location would have been so much cooler, bigger, and decently cheaper. But I'll take this rare gem.

One one of my work trips to China there were about 10 Chinese people and me having dinner. We were talking about food. I said I will have Mexican, Italian, Chinese... different types of food. The got all excited and started to list off different foods, Lasagna, Ravioli, Taco, Burrito. Then I asked when the last time they ate any of those types of food and the room got quiet.

Kinda sucked being a picky eater over there, especially since I don't eat fish.

Pretty much any kind of food I feel like having?
I have been in the habit the last year or so of having a DIY pizza on the weekend, but the dough in my fridge has sat there for 9 days now. I figure I'll make that pizza today (DIY dough, home grown tomato Italian sauce (I can it), 4 kinds of cheese, 2 kinds of sausage, bacon, mushrooms, pineapple, olives, artichoke hearts).

Usually a tri-sliced toasted everything-bagel w/ a little cream cheese for breakfast with a cup of mocca.

I have been making a combo German cottage cheese cake / pflaumenkuchen pie type thing, made with the plums in my yard, or if plums are out of season, the plums I can, or just the Gccc. Keep it in the fridge and have a slice once in a while. When done, I bake another.

I have a fresh salad most every evening before my entre + vegetables, whatever that is.

I like sugarless coffee with milk during the day.

A variety of fresh fruit.

Chips (rationed), sometimes mixed nuts I roast myself.

There's all kinds of other stuff I can make, depending on my mood, the weather/season, what I have on hand.

There are a lot of things that suck about living in America but variety of available types of food isn't one of them at least in my area.
