Still On That Vietnamese Kick
My favorite analyst in the office, A., has been on a banh mi kick for months; he eats them 2 to 3 times per week! That boy has consumed more banh mi in the past several months than I have in my entire life! As for me, I’m still trying to explore new Vietnamese dishes. … Continue reading
Kind of the Opposite
Christmas is almost upon us. I’m still feeling Scrooge-esque and Grinch-y, but I DID manage to buy a very minute Christmas tree to put on the Chinese table in the foyer. Since both of my roommates are gone (one went home to Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina to be with his family and the other went to … Continue reading

Bright still applies, though, if only because there … Continue reading
Vive La France!
For Bastille Day Weekend, I decided to do something French-themed every day/night. On Friday, I went to the Grand Opening of Muka over by Davies Symphony Hall. The owner, Jean-Luc, is a former bartender at my favorite neighborhood French wine bar, Amelie. He opened his own place, Moussy’s Cafe, in L’Alliance Francaise, which recently relocated … Continue reading
