Another super pre-theater meal at Ippudo. I think I’ve found a modus operendi: Order the appetizer specials and split a bowl of ramen. Well, except when I want the wings. Or… or…. Pomm Choi: Pork bun special: Fish, I can’t […]

OK so Shakespeare I’m not (line 345 here in Hamlet), but I am a little sad to see these two quinces go. We bought them as young whips only a stick thin (see their arrival at the farm in this post […]
