The New Den

We have been working a lot on the new den. It's where we will do our computing. After we build the new bathroom and took the closets out there was a lot of space with no trim. I learned how to cut with a manual coping saw and join the moulding. It looks pretty good for a first time try.

Believe it or not I did not pick this color. I would have definately gone lime green or darker orange.

Sato Ramen On Main Street

On Friday (e:Joe) and I decided to play "big city" and took the subway to dinner at Sato in Main St near In South Campus. The food was so delicious. The ramens were the same as the ones on Elmwood but they also had rice bowls that were new and they don't server sushi unlike the other location. I think the fries were also unique to main Street but I'm not sure.

I love their ramen so much. It is the best I have ever had. The sliced pork and the broth are amazing. I would eat it everyday if they opened one in Allentown instead of UB South. I still hope they keep expanding.

It's time for Japanese food to come Allentown. It's seems with all the people from the medical campus, a population which keeps rapidly expanding - that a Japanese restaurant could be successful. In fact their really isn't any Asian food other than Kaydara.

Deep South Taco

The food at Deep South Taco was pretty funny but unfortunately for (e:joe) their veggie choices were limited. Even their beans were cooked in hamhocks which was tasty but not veggie. You would think considering beans are the protein of choice for most vegetarians that they would have one non-meat bean option.

I really liked the nachos but they also had meat beans, so (e:Joe) got the fundido which was like molten cheese in a cute cast iron pan.

I had a crispy fish taco and an Al Pastor taco which both were really tasty. I would go back but I hope they expand their veggie options.

Trip To Vidlers

(E:mike), (e:libertad) and I took a road trip down to East Aurora to Vidler's Five and Dime. I actually got a bag of popcorn for a dime. Literally, the machine that dispensed it only took dimes. I had to get change for a quarter to use it.

I love how diverse the merchandise is. You can buy almost anything.

I did find it weird that Elf on a Shelf is segregated. I'm pretty sure I qualify for dark skinned boy as he is just tan. I'm glad they didn't have that when I was a kid. I would have been terrified of it.

Street Light Suicide

For some reason this streetlight is laying on the ground. I don't see any dents or scratches so I wonder what pushed it down. The base looks cracked. it couldn't have been the wind and defective metal?

4K Computer Monitor - Benq BT2711U

The resolution is so crazy at full res. It's like having multiple monitors in one.

The first one we got was faulty. At first I thought maybe my laptop couldn't support it. Turned out to just be a bunk monitor. (e:joe) got amazon to replace it and give us a free month of prime and one day shipping as a consolation.

In the end it's an awesome monitor. I think the 32" version would be even better as the resolution is so high.

Sato On Elmwood

Their ramen is the best around. I crave it all the time. If they had opened their new location in Allentown instead of the elmwood village, I would eat there everyday.

I also really like their gas fireplace insert I. the wall. I want one in the new den.
