April 11, 2024: Sundry Matters!

Someone is parked in my parking spot!  I received the news this morning, went down to check and, sure enough, there it was, sitting there in all of its shiny white Audi glory.  I was annoyed.  To be fair, I sold my car some five years ago and either walk everywhere or occasionally use public transport or uber to get around, but I allow the building’s cleaning lady to make free use of my parking spot – something she was unable to do this morning because some jackass decided to help themselves.  According to the security feed, it’s someone who doesn’t even live in the building who accessed the parking level by following someone else in.  I contacted the parking authority who write them up a $75 ticket.  That was at around 9:00 a.m.  Some 6+ hours later, the SUV is still there.  So next step is to have it towed if it’s still there tonight.

David Chang called a trademark bully for attempting to claim control of chili crunch market.

I have heard a little over a half dozen stories about David Change.  Absolutely none of them good.  By all indications, one of the truly shittiest people in the food industry.

Visited Le Genie the other day with Sharky (while Akemi went shopping) for their astounding pistachio tart and delicious mocha.

Most of my life, I’ve been a fan of the decadent creamy cheeses like Brillat-Savarin, Chateau de Bourgogne, and Torta Mascarpone, but lately I’ve acquired an appreciation for some of the harder cheeses – long thin slices of Mimolette or white truffle Manchego that I allow to melt on my tongue for a few seconds before enjoying their crystal-studded texture.

Where do you all fall on the cheese spectrum?  What are some of your favorites?
