What a pleasant surprise to find this onigiri and bento box shop!! Tiny and cute, operated by 3 very cute ladies! Super duper friendly services, and extremely affordable price.

Now that my daughter is out of Manhattan, I will need this as my reason to visit Manhattan (from Brooklyn) again in the near future.

Been very focused lately at work…roasting up a storm, so we are never out of coffee for the next couple weeks…cooking and churning so much ice cream we are totally out of space in the walk-in freezer.

Finally have time to catch up with some long forgotten flavors…Mango Pomelo yesterday, and Creamsicle tomorrow. Prepping for the Creamsicle is quite labor intensive, and now my hands smells very citrusy 😅

It is incredibly satisfying to save hundreds of dollars on a repair bill by tackling the job yourself. Having both the original, and the aftermarket drum motors ready puts you in an excellent position to troubleshoot and resolve the issue today.

When life throws you a lemon chair, screw it tighter with heavier gauge screws….

My beloved replica Eames chair fell apart again after my last 1/2 A$$ fix. So this time I opted for the heavier gauge, a bolder look repair.

The result is SOLID! It’ll break your back before you break mine…🥸

7 Eleven announced their introduction of Japanese style egg salad sandwiches… our Emi said: “hold my beer…”

Sorry, this is staff’s lunch. Not on the menu, never happened.
