FIG Charleston

March 5, 2016

At this moment I’m taking a short study break from some mid-terms I have due tomorrow for a graduate degree I’m pursuing at Texas A&M (whoop!) Enrolling seemed like a good idea a year ago, but is now the reason I dread Sunday evenings, when the week’s assignments are due. But, I’m nearly half way through the program, I just booked […]

The Don

November 30, 2014

Last week I visited Craft Izakaya again with friends, and we finished our excellent sushi bar meal by asking Chef Jason Liang if he would put together a donburi (rice bowl) for us, comprised of whatever he was feeling. A rice bowl is a comforting ending to any sushi meal (I also enjoy a well done tekka maki to […]

Menkoi Ramen House, Sun Ming [Columbia, SC]

Menkoi tonkotsu ramen

Eat It, Columbia. Menkoi Ramen House just opened in the Vista, on Gervais St near Assembly. I’m told it’s the owner of Inakaya, which I always found to be decent enough, though I did try tonkotsu ramen there three or four years ago and never desired to order it again. Menkoi is a true ramen-ya, […]

wine, food, fun, etc.

September 29, 2011

I’ve amassed a bunch of crappy iphone pics (and crappy good camera pics) to share with internet-land. Operation photo barf commencing. How about the above bar near Lake Burton? I’m considering opening a satellite location in College Park. The wines I’ve tasted lately have continued to be an embarrassment of riches. Le Montrachet (right) is one of […]

One Last Weekend Before Christmas

December 21, 2009

I can’t believe it’s already Christmas. It always sneaks up on me. So is it any shock that I’m behind on buying gifts? This Saturday I made a mad dash to try to wrap up my Christmas shopping, plus I needed to buy some stuff for a cheesy Christmas sweater/pot luck party that night. Instead […]

Eat on 30 – Day 2

October 13, 2009

day 1 dinner: black bean soup with polenta – cost: $1.79 I’m finally settling down after a long Day 2 of Eat On $30, which already has proven to be both rewarding and challenging. I’m definitely learning that under these budgetary constraints, dining out isn’t really an option, and when I have to cook on […]

Eat on 30

October 12, 2009

A few months ago, local food blogger/stylist/trendsetter Tami from Running With Tweezers created a challenge for herself called “Eat on 30”. Tami and a few others decided to see what it was like to eat off $30 for an entire week, which is slightly higher than the $21-$24 received per week by the average person […]
