Awesome. And ROFL on your cappucino comment!

Krugman today is not mongering fear. Gail Collins is terrif. As Montrose said on Thursday, it’s amazing how 2 people can read the same input but come to utterly different conclusions.

Snappy, Fukienese reference is for the food style of a chinese province that is directly across from Taiwan. if you venture into Man Chinatown, the loud aggressive sounding Chinese people you hear are from that province. BTW, if not for these people, Chinatown would’ve disappeared cause Cantonese people here are pretty weak and no impact considering they’ve been in this country since they days of laying railroad tracks to the West coast.

Speaking of Fukienese….

I have a great review of Yamato Restaurant on 7th Ave. The service was excellent. The food was very good. As appetizers we had the pickles, a raw abalone special and a very nice, sweet hot eggplant dish.

We had sushi a la carte and the fish was extremely fresh and the pieces were LARGE. Unlike many Brooklyn sushi restaurants, they always have Toro and Bonito. The toro was $7.00 a piece and melted in your mouth. Sake was $18 per 250 ml.

Now the more interesting part….I went with my Chinese bf and he’s from Fujian. I knew that the staff was Chinese but he told me that the three sushi chefs were Fukienese. The one directly in front of me was gorgeous with those almond shaped eyes that slanted at about 22 degrees and wondeful full epicanthal folds…a rice queen’s dream.

There was also a very nice waiter from Bhuttan.

benson- we talked about Rapid at Ellis. My nephew works for them and loves it.
