Melange
Finally got a chance to visit the Penzeys Spices store my sister manages!
Brown
Before leaving Connecticut I had lunch at my favorite BBQ place.
International
I cooked spicy Xinjiang lamb by carving the meat off the bone and then put the bones to good use by making lamb broth for cooking a traditional Scottish winter soup.
Numb
Ordered some doubanjiang so I could try my hand at making my Sichuan favorite, mapo doufu. Hadn’t added quite enough ground Sichuan peppercorns yet, which cause both a numbness and a sensation of vibration (around 50 Hertz!)
Bounty
There’s an Indian restaurant in Stamford that I’ve been frequenting, but I can’t read the name without thinking of the Han Solo line “Well, the bounty hunter we ran into on Ord Mantell changed my mind.”
Lounge
Back in the Cathay lounge in Hong Kong! More dan dan noodles!
Cantonese
Ate at a hip, upscale Cantonese restaurant called Mr. Wong. Literally down a back alley, as all hip, upscale restaurants seem to be.
Scorching
Um, this pizza is going to burn my mouth, isn’t it?
Viticulture III
Picked up another of these with the label I like so much.
Ubiquitous
And what did I find inside the Gateway shopping center? Yet another Din Tai Fung!
Slogan
Crossing into the Northern Territory (and setting my clock back an hour) I stopped at Kulgera for gas and some food. The place bills itself as both “The First and Last Pub in The Northern Territory” and “The Most Central … Continue reading

Port
Spent the night at Port Augusta, a dinky resort town at the top of the Spencer Gulf (which itself cuts inland into the south of the continent from the Great Australian Bight.) The biggest surprise here was finding some excellent … Continue reading
